Some health insurance companies have a right to recover from medical malpractice settlements, which reduces the total compensation pool for victims. Our attorneys in Salt Lake City will negotiate with your insurance provider so you can personally recover as much as possible. Younker Hyde Macfarlane isn't afraid to go up against big companies on behalf of everyday people like you.

WEBVTT 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:13.471 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.
