WHAT IS A LIEN?
A lien, as it relates to this web site, is a contract between an injured person and his or her medical provider that states that the medical provider is willing to wait to be paid for medical services rendered until a settlement or verdict is reached.
These liens always include a provision that the injured person is fully responsible for the charges for medical services rendered no matter the outcome of the underlying lawsuit. Therefore, it is very important that the injured person discuss the merits of his or her case fully with his or her attorney before s/he begins treatment.
This kind of lien is generally not accepted without attorney involvement (i.e., a doctor will want to know that the injured person has representation).
If you do not have representation, we recommend our sister sites Asklawyers.com and the CyberAttorney Law Firm Directory.
