My name is Mack Jones and I’m a personal injury attorney at Jones Raczkowski, PC here in Phoenix, Arizona. You’ve received a notice of lien in the mail. It could have come from any of a number of sources – a hospital, an insurance company, Medicare, Medicare Advantage plan, even your employer. Just because they have sent you a lien form does not mean that they actually have lien rights. Lien rights are where a third party – insurance company, hospital, Medicare – is entitled to recover what they have paid out in the event you make a personal injury recovery. If you don’t make a recovery, they’re not entitled to be repaid.

So the first thing is, don’t worry about it. You only have to worry about it if you get money on your personal injury claim. Second, equally important, is just because they’re asserted does not mean that they’re all legitimate. That’s why you need a competent and reputable personal injury attorney to navigate through and deal with these liens, because just because people assert that they have them doesn’t mean that they’re legitimate. If you have questions about a personal injury case or a lien, please contact us at Jones Raczkowski, (602) 840-8787.
