Special Needs Trusts and Medicare Set Asides

Florida Special Needs Trust and Medicare Set Asides Attorney

Special Needs Trusts, Medicare Set Asides, Straight Settlement Trusts, and other measures can be vital for anyone with a serious personal injury claim. Such financial vehicles can maximize clients' monthly income. Most importantly, however, they can preserve government benefits, such as Social Security, Medicare, or Medicaid benefits, that could otherwise be lost after a personal injury case is concluded.

Too few attorneys know how important Special Needs Trust and Medicare Set Asides can be. In fact, lawyers open themselves up to professional liability if their client loses government benefits after a settlement. Attorney John Merting of the Law Offices of John W. Merting, P.A., can help both attorneys and injured people with Special Needs Trust, Medicare Set Asides, Straight Settlement Trusts, and other important financial planning arrangements. This planning can put the injured party and his or her family in control of their financial future rather than the control of an insurance company.

Many Lose Government Benefits After Dealing With Insurance Companies

Many injured people are approached by insurance adjusters offering quick settlements. Often in serious need of money to pay medical bills, compensation for lost wages, etc., families sign what their insurance company offers, only to lose government benefits afterwards. It is best to never sign anything an insurance company offers without first consulting with an experienced lawyer, such as Mr. Merting.

Setting up Medicare Set Asides, Special Needs Trusts, etc. can be time consuming and complex; they are best left to lawyers experienced in the area. John Merting has helped dozens of clients and fellow attorneys make sure government benefits are preserved after a personal injury settlement. With nearly 40 years of experience as a personal injury, admiralty and maritime law attorney, Mr. Merting often accepts attorney referrals.
