In addition to a lien that an entity may place on your settlement, there's an additional form of a private lien for a medical provider. There are medical providers that will offer their services without any upfront payment via cash or health insurance if the attorney promises to pay the provider back once there is a recovery for the claimant. Especially for injured clients who have no or inadequate medical coverage, working with an attorney to get a private lien in order to get medical treatment is fairly common and is one way that we can help ensure our clients are getting proper medical treatment. If you're interested in learning more about how you could leverage a private lien to cover your medical treatments, schedule time with one of our specialists.
