Re: workers comp.
One way or another. The better practice is for you Attorney to have received notice of a subrogation lien and he will negotiate the figure downward if he can and deduct that lesser amount from the greater amount of your overdue corpus of Workers' Compensation indemnification payments.
The Law disdains a Double Recovery. There are a couple of situations where the extra money might not be considered a double recovery, but they are rare and do not seem applicable to the facts as you presented them.
Good Luck.
