California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 14 — Lien, Chapter 4 — Hospital Liens, Section 3045.2
The lien shall apply whether the damages are recovered, or are to be recovered, by judgment, settlement, or compromise.
Notes
Establishes that the lien applies regardless of whether the covered damages are recovered, or are to be recovered, through judgment, settlement, or compromise. The rule places all three listed methods of recovering damages within the lien’s reach rather than limiting the lien to damages obtained by a judgment.
