  • A Must Listen if You are Running a Personal Injury Law Firm

    I listen to virtually every episode. His topics are either issues I’m dealing with on a daily basis, brainstorming ideas I need to look at, or new experts that I need to hear.

    Common sense combined with humor and good stories. I have been practicing personal injury law for 40 years and I learn something new from Tom every episode.

Q: What is an MSA and how does it work in liability cases?
An MSA (Medicare Set-Aside) is a funding allocation to cover future medical costs for a person on Medicare, designed to prevent double-dipping and ensure Medicare is protected. In liability cases there is no statutory mandate to create an MSA, but when future medicals are anticipated, it can be strategically used to protect the client and reduce future liability for the firm.
