My insurance carrier helped pay my medical bills for my spinal cord injury. Will I have to reimburse them from my settlement?
Yes. Your health insurer can file a lien (a claim against your property) on your case, requiring you to pay out of your settlement for the costs the insurance company shelled out for your medical bills, etc. Your attorney can help to negotiate these liens, and most insurance carriers will be reasonable in negotiating the liens with your attorney. You can have an attorney provide you with a free case evaluation by filling out FreeAdvice's case evaluation form.
