In these situations, the lender retains an interest in the car or the house until all of the payments have been made and the lien is lifted. If payment is not made, the lien allows the lender to recover from a forced sale or take possession of the property entirely.\u00a0 In the context of personal injury law, liens are claims against the injured person\u2019s ultimate financial recovery which must be paid before any proceeds can be distributed to the injured party.<\/p>\n<p>Health care providers such as ambulance services, hospitals, doctors or physical therapists often assert liens on personal injury claims for their unpaid medical bills.\u00a0 Such liens can arise automatically by operation of Virginia statutes or through written agreements between the patient and the provider.<a title=\"\" href=\"file:\/\/\/K:\/FIRM\/EJK\/000000\/MKTG\/01094464.DOCX#_ftn1\">[1]<\/a>\u00a0 In many personal injury cases, a treating medical provider may agree to treat a patient immediately but forego payment in exchange for the patient\u2019s written agreement to pay the provider in full once the patient\u2019s personal injury claim is resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Although the default rule in Virginia is that health insurers are not entitled to assert liens against their insured\u2019s personal injury claim, there are a number of exceptions.<a title=\"\" href=\"file:\/\/\/K:\/FIRM\/EJK\/000000\/MKTG\/01094464.DOCX#_ftn2\">[2]<\/a>\u00a0 Some of these exceptions are based on federal law which trumps the state statute.\u00a0 Self-funded ERISA-qualified plans are often entitled to assert liens.\u00a0 A number of federal health insurance programs, such as Medicare and Tricare are entitled to assert liens.\u00a0 Medicaid, which is jointly funded by the federal and state governments, is also entitled to assert a lien against personal injury claim proceeds.<\/p>\n<p>Incurring liens on a <a title=\"personal injury case\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allenandallen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">personal injury case<\/a> is often unavoidable. Injured people desperately need medical treatment to recover and that treatment can be overwhelmingly expensive. Often, accepting a lien to receive care may be the patient\u2019s only option. Incurring a lien on a personal injury claim is not the end of the world, but it does make final resolution of a personal injury claim more complicated. The final lien amount must be thoroughly checked to ensure it accurately accounts for accident-related treatment only. After that, many lien holders are willing to negotiate reductions to the amount owed if the proceeds available for payment are insufficient to fully and fairly compensate the claimant for their injuries.<\/p>\n<div>\n<hr align=\"left\" size=\"1\" width=\"33%\" \/>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"file:\/\/\/K:\/FIRM\/EJK\/000000\/MKTG\/01094464.DOCX#_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> Personal injury lien statutes can be found at Virginia Code \u00a7 8.01-66.2 et. seq., available online at: <a href=\"https:\/\/leg1.state.va.us\/cgi-bin\/legp504.exe?000+cod+8.01-66.2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/leg1.state.va.us\/cgi-bin\/legp504.exe?000+cod+8.01-66.2<\/a> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"file:\/\/\/K:\/FIRM\/EJK\/000000\/MKTG\/01094464.DOCX#_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> Virginia Code \u00a7 38.2-3405 contains the anti-subrogation statute, it is available online at: <a href=\"https:\/\/leg1.state.va.us\/cgi-bin\/legp504.exe?000+cod+38.2-3405\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/leg1.state.va.us\/cgi-bin\/legp504.exe?000+cod+38.2-3405<\/a> .<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un gravamen es una garant\u00eda mobiliaria reivindicada por una de las partes contra la propiedad de otra.
