TANKERSLEY v. PARKVIEW HOSP., INC.

No. 02S03-0207-CV-00396.

791 N.E.2d 201 (2003)

Kevin C. TANKERSLEY, Appellant (Defendant below), v. PARKVIEW HOSPITAL, INC., Appellee (Plaintiff below).

Supreme Court of Indiana.

June 30, 2003.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Daniel S. Tankersley, Winamac, IN, Attorney for Appellant.

Christine M. Stach, Susan E. Trent, and Dennis F. Dykhuizen, Rothberg, Logan, & Warsco, LLP, Fort Wayne, IN, Attorneys for Appellee.

SHEPARD, Chief Justice.

The Hospital Lien Act requires hospitals to place an attorney on notice that a lien has been filed for services rendered. This case presents the question whether such a lien, perfected as to a patient's original lawyer, is effective against a subsequent lawyer who did not receive actual notice of it and distributes settlement funds without paying the hospital. We find that it is.
