Trial court judgment is affirmed where the court correctly sustained a demurrer to plaintiff’s cause of action for breach of fiduciary duty as the allegations of the complaint do not establish that defendants had a fiduciary duty to plaintiff, since awareness of a medical lien was not enough to create a fiduciary duty. Trial court’s grant of summary judgment for defendant on a conversion cause of action is reversed where defendants presented no evidence that they had an attorney lien entitling them to deduct their litigation costs from the settlement recovery.
