What comes out of a settlement
- The attorney fee, a percentage set in your contingency agreement. Some agreements raise the percentage if a lawsuit is filed.
- Case costs, such as filing fees, records, depositions and experts.
- Medical liens: hospitals, doctors who treated on a lien, health insurers, and government programs. Medicare has a right to be repaid for injury-related care it paid for (42 U.S.C. 1395y(b)(2)).
Getting more of it to you
Lien reduction is where much of the money is made or lost after a settlement. Providers and insurers often accept less than the billed amount, especially when the case was hard or the recovery is limited. Ask your lawyer for a written closing statement that lists every deduction.
