The Vioxx Settlement. Whats next?

In this weeks edition of Speaking of Settlements, host Scott Drake and LB Network Chairman Mark Wahlstrom discuss the current status of the Vioxx settlement and what trial lawyers and claimants need to know, and do, right now.

As this case winds to it's sad conclusion, the amounts that people are going to recieve will be revealed to them and then the decision process begins as to what to do with that settlement award.

In this podcast Mark and Scott discuss the pitfalls that could trap the unwary or the careless who accept funds with out proper planning. Among the risks are the potential loss of governmental health care or housing benefits, disqualification from assisted living or nursing homes for those on state medicaid programs or the loss of the ability to use a tax free structured settlement to fund their programs.

If you are a trial lawyer or Vioxx claimant you need to watch this short video broadcast on the Vioxx settlement and get up to speed BEFORE you accept your funds.
