Description
Rehearing denied March 30, 1979. Plaintiff, Russell A. Maynard, filed suit in the circuit court of Bureau County to recover damages for personal injuries which had caused him to be confined to St. Francis Hospital, operated by the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis. The hospital's bill for services was in the amount of $11,027.96, and pursuant to the provisions of the hospital liens act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 82, par. 97 et seq.) it served notice of its lien in that amount. Plaintiff's case was settled for the sum of $37,500, and the defendants' insurer issued its draft in the amount of $11,027.96 payable to the order of plaintiff, his wife, his attorney, and the hospital. In accordance with section 5 of the hospital liens act (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1975, ch. 82, par. 101) plaintiff filed a petition to adjudicate the rights of the parties and the circuit court ordered that out of the $11,027.96 the hospital pay plaintiff's attorney one-third of the costs incurred ($205.48) and one-third of the amount claimed in its lien ($3,675.98). The hospital appealed, the appellate court reversed (54 Ill. App.3d 141), and we allowed plaintiff's petition for leave to appeal.
