§ 60.44.060. Enforcement of lien -- Payment as evidence
Such lien may be enforced by a suit at law brought by the claimant or his assignee within one year after the filing of such lien against the said tort feasor and/or insurer. In the event that such tort feasor and/or insurer shall have made payment or settlement on account of such injury, the fact of such payment shall only for the purpose of such suit be prima facie evidence of the negligence of the tort feasor and of the liability of the payer to compensate for such negligence.
