Q: Who recieves the statue of limitation deduction from my settlement?
A:
I'm not fully clear on your question, and a Tennessee attorney could advise best. But you await an answer for two weeks, and may be in a position of having to wrap your case up. IF you are talking about a personal injury matter, some of the GENERAL deductions arising could include medical liens (money owed to doctors or medical facilities that provided services based on assurances they would be paid back), public benefits liens (money owed to public agencies for benefits they provided), and other miscellaneous deductions for attorney out-of-pocket expenses (stenographers for depositions, court filing fees, etc.) I hope that helps. If it doesn't, repost your question with more specificity about the type of case it involves. Good luck
