Following a jury verdict and judgment for Jarrells in his personal injury suit against a third-party tortfeasor, Travelers intervened and, based on worker's compensation benefits Travelers had paid for Jarrells, sought to enforce a statutory lien against that judgment, but the trial court denied Travelers relief and entered summary judgment for Jarrells. The Court of Appeals reversed and remanded with instructions to enter judgment for Travelers and determine the value of its lien. Travelers Indemnity Co. of American v. Jarrells, 906 N.E.2d 912 (Ind. Ct. App. 2009), vacated. The Supreme Court has granted a petition to transfer the case and has assumed jurisdiction over the appeal.
