William L. E. Dussault, JD,is an attorney practicing in Seattle, Washington, who specializes in law for individuals who experience disabilities.
This material has been developed to assist you in informing your patients, their families, and their caregivers of the protections that can be afforded the catastrophically injured patient in the event he or she has substantial assets or acquires a substantial settlement or judgment as a result of injury. I have attempted to provide comprehensive information addressing a variety of circumstances and frequently update these materials in an effort to remain current. However, I do recognize that each situation is unique. If your patient's case involves factors that are not addressed, immediate specialized legal advice should be sought.
