Statutory Liens: Real World Example

An individual, injured in a motor vehicle accident, is rushed to your hospital by ambulance. Emergency medical services are provided, but at the time that the services are rendered, it is unknown whether this individual has health coverage or the funds necessary to pay for the medical care. Regardless, it is your legal responsibility to provide treatment. At the conclusion of the patient's care, days later, your hospital generates a bill for the services it provided. At some point in the future, you come to find that a negligent 3rd party caused the patient's injuries. You also determine that your patient does not have health insurance and is unable to provide ready payment.

So, what now? How do you secure payment for services rendered? How do you protect your right to be paid? How timely will payment actually be? What is the burden of managing this process?
