e doctor can secure payment. And assignments are often signed prior to the making of a formal claim. We see no reason to force a person to file a lawsuit before he or she can assign the right to potential proceeds from a claim.
{ } Allowing the creation of a valid assignment in such a situation gives some assurance to medical-care providers that they will eventually be compensated. This fits with one of the purposes of assignments-to encourage the assignee to trust that an assignor who may not have cash in hand will be able to cover his or her debts.
{ } We conclude that the trial court did not err when it determined that Tate had executed a valid assignment. Allstate had sufficient notice of the assignment and was obligated to pay Roselawn the amount Tate owed for her medical treatment. Therefore, we overrule both of Allstate's assignments of error and affirm the trial court's judgment.
Judgment affirmed.
HILDEBRANDT, P.J., and GORMAN, J., concur.
