I've been following a case of someone who is suing a hospital for
Malpractice because she signed a paper that she'd pay me the money
She owes me when (if) she wins... or settles. I looked up the case
Under Unified Court and in one box it said other final disp.
Also case diposed. Also Note of issue/no appearance
Comments SOS
Supreme trial
Can you help me with this mumble jumbo. I don't know how to find out
The outcome other then this. Thank you.

It's mumbo jumbo to me too. Perhaps if you posted the link?

Other - final disposition means that it was settled outside of court.

Doesn't the site list the various appearances, dates?

So basically, it sounds like youa re following the results of a lawsuit because you have a lien against the proceeds of the suit is that correct? It sounds like you are in NY, if so, give me the index number of the case and I will look. Either way, the first thing you should do is send a letter to the plaintiff's lawyer notifying them of the lien and warning them that they shouldn't release any funds to the Plaintiff before you are satisfied.

I note that the person owing the money/having the lawsuit "signed a paper."

I don't see that as an enforceable lien. What am I missing?

It depends on what the paper is, which is why I asked the question. Either way, if you call an attorney and put them on notice of a potential lien, they will at the very least look into the matter and address it with their client, which greatly improves your chances of being paid.

If someone like that calls me up, I would much rather settle up with them than leave myself open to potential exposure, or having to defend a lawsuit.

What type of paper do you see turning into an automatic lien?
