ASSET PROTECTION & WEALTH PRESERVATION PLANNING


There are over 20 million civil lawsuits filed each year in the United States and thousands of personal injury suits filed in Utah courts each year. We truly live in a litigious society. In an age where large legal judgments are often fodder for our 24-hour news cycle, the average American has become increasingly aware of their chances to win the “lawsuit lottery”.

Due to their financial success and high risk occupations, professionals are often the target of such suits. In our current economic environment, high risk professionals and businessmen such as doctors, surgeons, physicians, dentists, optometrists, pharmacists, veterinarians, business owners, and contractors, simply cannot afford to ignore the threat of litigation. For these and other high risk professionals, asset protection lawyer utah and wealth preservation planning are a necessity.

Medical professionals are particularly vulnerable to malpractice liability. According to an ABC News article in 2010, a survey by the American Medical Association found that more than 60% of doctors over the age of 55 have been sued at least once during their career. Furthermore, 90% of surgeons age 55 and older have been sued at least once. The survey also found that an average of 95 medical malpractice suits have been filed for every 100 physicians now in practice. In other words, it’s not a matter of if, but when. Without an effective asset protection strategy in place doctors and other high risk professionals and business owners run the risk of subjecting their personal assets to lawsuit liability, which can have devastating effects on their families.
