Valerie Dondero, of the Miami office, and Kendra Therrell, of the Ft. Myers/Naples office, were once again victorious in convincing the trial court to dismiss a pending lien impairment action brought by Lee Memorial against their client insurance carriers. Valerie passionately argued the Constitutional issues, while Kendra approached it from a probate angle as the hospital had already filed a claim against the Estate of the deceased claimant. After a lengthy hearing, the trial court dismissed all claims against all carriers on the basis of one case Kendra cited for her position that the liens were extinguished by the filing of the claim in the probate action.
