The Supreme Court just handed down a great decision for injured persons. The case is called Ahlborn. Ahlborn provides a very strong tool where there is (1) a large Medicaid lien and (2) inadequate insurance to fully compensate the injured person.

We just received a call from a young woman who had a $250,000 Medicaid lien. Unfortunately there was only $100,000 in insurance coverage and the insurance carrier would not pay her anything because of the Medicaid lien.

With the help of the Ahlborn decision she is now in the position to recover a significant portion of the insurance proceeds.
