Understanding Lien

Lien

“A lien is a legal right or interest that a creditor has in another’s property, often used to secure repayment of a debt or reimbursement for services.”

In injury cases, medical providers or insurers may place a lien on your settlement to recover unpaid bills.

Managing liens properly is important for preserving your net recovery.
