What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MO. I am needing to check and see how this works. My daughter's father was killed in a tractor trailer accident a few years ago, and she has been receiving WC Survivor benefits since then. My former mother in law filed a wrongful death case, was granted a judgement for herself and my daughter, and now her attorney has stated that the WC have a lien against any money they have paid out, will my daughter still receive WC benefits NOW, because the judgment cannot be accessed until she is of age, at least 18. Thanks for any help.
