Legal Question in Personal Injury in Missouri
My daughter was in a hit and run accident the only insurance was
Uninsured motorist The claim was settled for $50000 The medical insurance and two other healthcare providers also filed liens The insurance paid $85000 in claims the other two were $2800 and 1800 what is the total amount they can collect on the liens.
1 Answer from Attorneys
The two healtcare providers can probably collect their entire liens. If the attorney handling your daughter'scase wroks it right, the medical insurer may not get anything from UM. Their claim is against you, and the payment is for the benefit of your daughter. The type of healthcare policy you have, can also alter the vulnerability to liens. You may also pursue a case direclty against the dariver(s) at fault, if you can find them.
Good luck
