Previously, my St Louis Injury law firm's blog I discussed lien recovery from Missouri wrongful death verdicts or settlements in a previous Missouri wrongful death lawyer article.
In that article I discussed how most health care provider liens for medical treatment to the decedent are not recoverable against the wrongful death claimants for any jury award or settlement received, however, governmental liens oftentimes do apply to the wrongful death recovery; specifically Medicare or Medicaid liens.
Missouri injury lawyers have recently become aware of an 11th Circuit case holding that government Medicare lien is not entitled to the survivor's wrongful death benefits. See Wrongful Death Benefits Lawsuit: Bradley v Sebelius, Court of Appeals, 11trh Circuit, 2010.
