Confused about how your settlement money is divided between your attorney, doctors, and you? Here's a clear breakdown of how medical liens work - and how to maximize what you keep.
When your personal injury case settles, your attorney distributes the proceeds: first paying outstanding medical liens, then attorney fees, then other costs, with the remainder going to you. Lien amounts are often negotiable — experienced personal injury attorneys regularly negotiate lien reductions to increase your net recovery.
Medical providers on lien often agree to accept less than their billed amount at settlement, especially if the total settlement is limited. Your attorney negotiates these reductions as part of the settlement process. This is a normal and expected part of resolving personal injury cases involving lien-based care.
