Acknowledgment of Health Plan's Lien on Tort Recovery Did Not Require Attorney to Reimburse Plan (PDF)
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit Link to more items from this source
Sept. 12, 2012

"[The employer-sponsored health plan ("Drury")] is essentially attempting to impose personal, or legal, liability on [the employee's attorney ("Casey")] for the benefits it conferred on [the covered employee for his health care costs]. After receiving the settlement funds from [the employee's] personal injury law suit, Casey initially held in trust the $11,423.79 to which Drury claims an interest, but he eventually disbursed the entirety of that sum to [the employee, who subsequently filed for bankruptcy]. Casey thus no longer has any money to which Drury claims an interest." [Treasurer, Trustees of Drury Industries, Inc. Health Care Plan and Trust v. Gooding, No. 11-2885 (8th Cir. Sept. 7, 2012).]
