Settlement Planning

​

If someone suffers an injury and needs care, we can help you identify

public assistance programs and understand eligibility requirements

as well as make sure that those benefits are not lost after settlement

of the case.

​

We also understand how important it is for a person who receives

government benefits such as SSI and Medicaid as a result of an injury,

to continue to receive those benefits. As disability planning attorneys,

we assist trial lawyers in resolving their cases in ways that protect

eligibility for government benefits.

​

Our services can begin as early as the inception of the lawsuit. We

provide expert witness testimony, establish special needs trusts to

protect the settlement from hindering the person’s public benefits, and aid in the court process to fund the trust once created.

While the trial attorney’s job is to aid in the case at hand, our focus is on the long-term needs of the injured person.

 

Our goal is to help create and implement a plan so that the injured person’s settlement can help provide a better quality of life while at the same time preserving important government benefits.
