Legal Question
How much can my health insurance recover from me in a settlement?
Hello,
I was involved in an accident that the police said was my fault.
The other party's insurance has sent me a letter saying they consider themselves 10% at fault.
Recently, they made me a settlement offer for $5000 which represents 5% fault on their client. My medical expenses are $20,000+, and they filed liens with the car insurance company that made me an offer. My question is how much can they take from my $5000 settlement? Are they only allowed 5% of their $20,000, since 5% of my entire claim was what was paid to me, or are they allowed to take the entire $5000?
