New Case on Hospital Lien Statute

The Court of Appeals has held that a hospital's lien is not reduced by one-third for plaintiff's attorney's fee when the recovery is sufficient to pay the hospital's lien and the attorney's fee. The case is Breazeale v. Hensley, E2008-00234-COA-R3-CV (Tenn. Ct. App. Jan. 28, 2009).
