Some health insurance have the right
to recover from your settlement,
00:00:13.840 --> 00:00:17.786
and so it's hard for clients to accept
that they have to pay a lawyer,
00:00:17.787 --> 00:00:19.331
they have to pay
their health insurance back,
00:00:19.629 --> 00:00:23.360
and then what's left, the original
settlement doesn't make them whole.
00:00:23.360 --> 00:00:25.606
They're still injured,
and they still wouldn't trade
00:00:25.607 --> 00:00:27.329
what they lost for this money,
00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:29.943
and then after attorneys' fees,
00:00:29.944 --> 00:00:32.029
and then you have to pay
your health insurance back.
00:00:32.240 --> 00:00:36.357
We negotiate with those health insurances
and try and get something fair,
00:00:36.358 --> 00:00:38.447
and make them pay
their share of attorneys' fees
00:00:38.448 --> 00:00:40.186
so they don't just get
all their money back
00:00:40.440 --> 00:00:42.829
without having to pay the lawyer,
and the client has to pay the lawyer.
00:00:42.830 --> 00:00:48.586
But liens and health insurance payback
is a big surprise to a lot of clients.
