Massachusetts H5062 addresses equitable allocation of recovery proceeds for subrogation claims.

Massachusetts H5062 amends existing laws to ensure equitable allocation of recovery proceeds for subrogation claims. It allows courts to reduce liens if the settlement or judgment is less than the injured person’s total damages. The bill also mandates that attorney’s fees and costs incurred in enforcing liability be divided between the health maintenance organization, hospital, medical or dental service corporation, and the injured person in proportion to the amount received from any judgment, settlement, or compromise.
