§ 23004.1 Recovery for care and treatment provided person injured or diseased by….
California Government Code section 23004.1 creates a sort of “super-lien” in personal injury cases. It pops up when a county provides medical services, so watch out for this if that is your situation.
If there are county provided medical services in connection with a personal injury case, then the county has a lien against any settlement or judgment proceeds that may not even require it to reduce its claim in proportion to the attorneys fees and costs incurred to recover the money (what we call the “common fund doctrine”).
