What is a lien/letter of protection?

A lien is voluntary and is basically a promise by the patient to protect our interests in the event of a settlement. A letter of protection is a document that we receive from your attorney, stating that he/she will protect our interests at the time of settlement. Your attorney will need your authorization to give us this letter so he/she can pay us out of the settlement proceeds.
