Liens and Workers' Compensation

I had the pleasure of speaking this  morning at the North Carolina Academy of Trial Lawyer's Workers' Compensation Roundtable Seminar.  I was pinch hitting for a number of State and federal Employees who were supposed to talk about:  Medicaid, Medicare, State Employee Health Plan, and TriCare.

Instead, they got me.

I am posting a link to my PowerPoint presentation for  those in attendance who wantde the "paper" copy of my talk.  Here is the link:  Ahlborn PowerPoint Slide show

Thanks for all the great questions!

Workers' compensation laws vary significantly between states, so it is important to check a particular state's laws in attempting to determine if a workers' compensation carrier will be able to assert a lien on a personal injury case arising from the same injury. Where liens are allowed, they typically permit the workers' compensation insurer to recover certain expenditures made toward the injured worker's medical care, rehabilitation, and lost wages.
