Do I have to pay medical bills from my settlement?

Yes—medical bills and related liens are typically paid from your settlement before you receive your portion. When your case resolves, outstanding medical bills, health insurance subrogation claims (reimbursement requests), and any medical liens must be satisfied. Your attorney then receives their contingency fee, and you receive the remainder. At Kane Trial Law, we work to reduce medical liens and negotiate with health insurers to minimize what they're repaid, which puts more money in your pocket. We provide a detailed settlement breakdown so you understand exactly how your recovery is allocated.
