HOW to put a hold on a settlement on someone you took care of while he was injured, for rent,gas,travel, to & from dr. appts.food & clothing

If it's for care you have already provided, that you did not have any kind of written contract for, you might have a problem proving that you're entitled to anything, and you'll have to sue if the person won't pay.  You should talk to an attorney about this, and one place you can find lawyers in your area is our website, http://attorneypages.com

Usually, it takes some fairly special facts, to have a lien put on someone else's injury settlement, before you have established a legal right to some of the money.  That's not to say that any promises he made can't be followed up, if you can prove them, and you might be able to get something just based on fairness -- but not likely, if at all, without a lawyer.
