Only if defendants file for a credit, so the answer is maybe.

If your employer's worker's compensation insurance carrier paid for medical treatment, then they can place a lien to be reimbursed. However, you can have two separate settlements. One for car accident case against the third party and the second one a worker's compensation case against your employer. Feel free to call me at 213-388-7070 for further assistance.
