THIRD PARTY LIABILITY REIMBURSEMENT ISSUES
In 1996, the court in Kaiser Foundation Health Plan v. Aguiluz held that a plaintiff’s attorney could be held personally liable for failing to honor a health plan’s lien when the attorney had notice of the lien.
...plaintiff attorneys must resolve liens with health plans before entering into settlements to avoid incurring personal liability for the lien.
Wonder why this doesn't apply?
