If you have a client who receives or may be eligible for needs-based assistance, then a litigation award may eliminate such benefits. The receipt of assets in excess of $2,000 usually results in ineligibility for benefits. These benefits can be vital for the well-being of a disabled individual. Failure to protect these benefits can constitute legal malpractice, and will cause unnecessary harm to the client.
