p0383 REVIEW DENIED In a third party action in which the damages recovered by plaintiff's attorney made it possible for the plaintiff's employer or workers' compensation insurer to recover its workers' compensation lien, the fee plaintiff's attorney should receive from the client's employer or its insurer should be based on the amount for which the employer or insurer it sold its lien to the defendant in the action, and since obligations attached to the lien came with the assignment of the lien, the defendant who purchased it should pay the attorney's fee.CitationMANRIQUEZ v ADAMS (WC Lien) 108 CA4 340 [See: LabC 3860; Draper v Aceto 26 C4 1086, T/AT 12/01]
