Well that is how it works.

If you are injured at work, file a workmans comp claim, then sue for ?? the workmans comp carrier will file a lien against the lawsuit.

Just like if you are involved in an auto accident, and sue the other driver. Your carrier will pay, then get involved in your settlement.

I bet most insurance policies have this type of clause in them.

Although this is normally done upfront, ie before a settlement.

It has nothing to do with the attorney.
