Why Consider Establishing a Special Needs Trust?

A personal injury accident can be life-altering. If your loved one is now disabled or has endured other types of catastrophic injuries, a lifetime of medical care could be necessary.

Many disabled individuals are eligible to receive government benefits such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and MediCal. Unfortunately, disabled individuals awarded personal injury settlements may become ineligible to receive needs based government assistance such as MediCal and SSI.

This can be prevented if the personal injury settlement is transferred to a special needs trust. Campbell attorney Janet Miller can provide invaluable assistance in this process.
