April 28, 2017241 So. 3d 712
Summary
The Supreme Court of Alabama reversed the Court of Civil Appeals' award of damages based on the full hospital lien and held that damages for impairment of a hospital lien are limited to the amount recoverable from the insurer under its policy, i.e., $2,000. The Court remanded for further proceedings consistent with that measure and declined to decide whether the lien was actually impaired.
