Liens and reimbursement demands against personal injury recoveries are a burden. They are a direct drain on the client's net recovery, require the lawyer to spend hours working to resolve the liens, and delay disbursement of both fees and net dollars to the client.
Effective advocacy surrounding the lien and settlement process requires the traditional process plaintiff lawyers follow in handling personal injury cases - issue spotting, planning and execution, all while keeping the client informed and engaged in the process so they can make good, intelligent, informed decisions about their case.
Our resources are categorized into two main sections to assist you in learning about and addressing lien/reimbursement claims:
Our platform features core modules to get you up to speed and keep you there, including: Liens 101, Liens A-Z, ERISA 101, Medicare 101, Medical Advantage Organization (MAO) 101, and Medical Care Recovery Act (MCRA) 101. Delve deeper into advanced modules in the 201 and 301 series, along with a myriad of single modules, all while staying abreast of the newest developments in liens.

The settlement process in personal injury claims can range from straightforward to incredibly complex. Typically, a plaintiff attorney is retained to pursue recovery claims, essentially to "ring the bell." However, when the bell tolls, the “settlement process” is just beginning. Pending lien and reimbursement claims from health insurance carriers, government entities, and their recovery agents will directly impact the net dollar the client will receive. The settlement may necessitate the client being advised on how their entitlement to public benefits could be impacted, and/or require financial planning to help maximize the value of the net recovery. When these issues fall outside the scope of the plaintiff attorney's retention or their comfort level in providing advice, the settlement process can become significantly bogged down.

The Lien Project Network offers consultations with professionals who specialize in resolving liens, advising plaintiffs on financial planning issues, and ensuring public benefit eligibility. We have you covered through our collaboration with esteemed industry leaders, including The Lien Project, PC, the CPT Institute and the Valdez Team at Ringler Settlements.
