How will Medicare Lien affect your personal injury claim?
Dec 12th, 2009
Medicare has a right to be reimbursed from your settlement
with a third-party (called “subrogation”) that caused your injuries. Medicare’s
subrogation rights are very strong under federal law, but they should not
prevent you from pursuing your claim against the third-party causing your
accident. Your Lexington car accident attorney needs to be experienced at resolving
Medicare subrogation claims in order to maximize your recovery. The Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney handled a case not long ago where the Medicare lien more
than doubled the amount of liability insurance available to the person causing
the accident and the client had her case turned down by a previous injury
attorney due to the amount of the Medicare lien. Despite the amount of the
lien, the Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney was able to obtain a substantial
recovery for the client. The Medicare representatives can be difficult to deal
with but if your personal injury attorney is knowledgeable about the Medicare
laws, you can negotiate with them successfully.
Do not let the amount of the Medicare lien discourage you
from contacting the Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney about your claim. An
evaluation is provided free of charge and the lien will not make the case not
worth pursuing.
Medicare
liens and liens from health insurance companies are another reason why you need
sophisticated counsel to help you resolve your claim. The Kentucky Auto Accident Attorney has handled auto accident, truck accident and motorcycle accident claims every day for the past 23 years and, therefore, he has the
experience and skill to obtain the best recovery for his clients.
