Special Needs Settlement Planning

When someone suffers a serious personal injury due to the negligence of another person, he often responds by filing a lawsuit.  While the lawsuit is pending, and if the person’s injuries are serious enough, he may be prevented from working and he may require government assistance to pay for medical bills or to cover necessities of daily living.  In some cases, the injured party will require significant medical care for the rest of his life. But when the injured party settles his claim or receives a monetary judgment, the resulting award could end up terminating his important government benefits.  That’s why it’s important to engage a special needs planner to work with your personal injury attorney from the get go – in most cases, we can help preserve your award without the loss of government benefits. 

 At Brown & Brown, we go one step further by offering personal injury representation and special needs planning under one roof.  Our experienced litigators can handle your personal injury claim, and, at the same time, our special needs planners can begin to put together a special needs plan to hold any award that you may receive.  Because we work together, we can properly coordinate your every need and make sure that you don’t lose any important benefits due to lack of coordination between attorneys with divergent interests.  If you are about to settle a case, or if you are just looking for a lawyer to help file suit, Brown & Brown can be there with you, every step of the way.
