Law Suit Settlements

Law Suit Settlements

If you have won a lawsuit filed due to medical malpractice, a car accident, an issue with a nursing home or some other situation that left you with serious injuries, or if you have received an inheritance, the funds you receive should help you—not prevent you from receiving the public benefits (MaineCare, Social Security, subsidized housing,or long-term care assistance) you were previously receiving. Without proper guidance, you may risk losing the benefits you currently have or be deemed ineligible to receive benefits in the future. The Law Firm of Vogel & Dubois can review supplemental needs trust options, rules regarding expenditures and exempt assets, consequences of gifting, and rules regarding deeming of family income. We can help you make the best decision regarding your settlement or inheritance, and create a plan for (re-)establishing continued benefit eligibility.
