In cases of near drowning, brain damage, and the need for ongoing, long-term care are usually involved. To assist our clients with the financial and healthcare needs of their loved ones, our lawyers can consult a California state-certified specialist in helping families establish special-needs trusts. Such trusts allow parents, spouses, or other relatives of drowning victims to set aside the award or settlement money for the health care needs of their loved ones. Doing so not only ensures that their future medical needs will be taken care of, but it can also help injury victims qualify for long-term medical benefits through Medicaid.
