MASSIVE Reduces Self-Funded ERISA Lien by over $240,000

MASSIVE was determined to significantly reduce a medical malpractice case involving a birth trauma.  

Doctors failed to diagnose fetal distress in a premature birth, which led the baby to have severe brain damage. The lienholder was a self-funded ERISA plan and the law firm had trouble getting anywhere with an uncooperative representative of the lienholder.  

MASSIVE’s experienced attorneys convinced the lienholder that the judge overseeing the matter would not approve a lien that was unreasonable, considering the injury involved a child. We knew if the lien was rejected at the hearing, it could take years to get back in front of the judge. We reminded the self-funded ERISA plan of the same. 

In the end, MASSIVE’s team reduced the lien by over $240,000, leaving the family with a more reasonable amount of the settlement to help care for the child.
