Can a hospital put a lien against your home in Florida?

Marilyn: Can this hospital chain they keep sending me this bill, can they put a lien on my house?

Attorney Tom Olsen: Marilyn, that's a great question. The good news here is that here in the state of Florida our constitution says that no creditor may take away the home of an individual, that's doctors, hospitals, credit cards, automobile accidents. Marilyn, the answer is no. That hospital could sue you all day long, get a judgment against you, but that will not be a lien against your home.

Marilyn: Oh, okay, well, you answered my question. Thank you very much.

Attorney Tom Olsen: Thank you, Marilyn, thank you for calling. We appreciate it.

Marilyn: Bye.
