Hospital Liens
Successfully Managing Hospital Liens For Clients Nationwide
Medical liens are a critical tool for recouping costs. Texas law grants hospitals lien rights to recover costs for treating patients injured by third-party negligence. When properly perfected, the lien attaches to the judgment or settlement of any negligence cause of action involving the injury.
Plaintiff’s attorneys are actively trying to eliminate your valid hospital liens through manipulation of Chapter 55 of the Property Code. Plaintiff’s attorneys, for the first time, are aggressively using every attack they can to reduce or eliminate your hospital lien.
