Relates to recoveries from a third-party action

This bill amends workers' compensation law to limit liens on third-party recovery funds. It specifies that insurance funds or employers can only claim a lien for lost wages or medical expenses paid to injured workers, not other damages. The law requires courts to equitably apportion legal fees between the worker and the lienholder when a third-party settlement or judgment is secured. This applies to workers who pursue legal action against a negligent third party while receiving workers' compensation benefits.
