When a large settlement comes in from a sexual abuse case -- like the one reached this week involving US Water Polo -- there is often a large burden on the individual survivor to figure out the next stage of her or his financial life. http://ow.ly/3nGo50F7pj2 #USWaterPolo

It's always good to see companies step up to better protect their customers from sexual assault - especially when they put competition aside to do so. Lyft and Uber are partnering with HireRight to share data on drivers accused of sexual assault to ensure they are banned across rideshare platforms. http://ow.ly/dp1950F5UNo

Milestone is a long-time supporter of the American Association for Justice’s Women Trial Lawyers Caucus. Today, we are proud to be a part of an important event, a virtual panel discussion titled Forced Arbitration is a Women’s Issue. With nearly 200 women from across the country attending this event, we hope to encourage Congress to pass the Forced Arbitration Injustice Repeal (FAIR) Act. The FAIR Act seeks to end the practice of forcing consumers, workers, and patients int...o a secretive, rigged arbitration system. Forced arbitration is hidden in the fine print of everything from nursing home admissions forms and credit card contracts, to online click-through agreements and employee handbooks. It gives corporations the power to evade justice and avoid being held accountable when people are hurt, and in most cases, we don’t even know it’s lurking in the everyday forms and agreements we sign. Join the WTLC in this fight by letting your members of Congress know that you want congressional leadership to bring the FAIR Act to the House floor for a vote this summer.

The latest issue of The Civil Justice Advocate explores how a qualified settlement fund could help victims involved in the #opioid settlement.

We love being part of the Injury Board community and working alongside top trial attorneys like Joe Saunders. In the video below, Joe describes his experience with Milestone and the nonprofit Bairs Foundation. https://youtu.be/XJw7VcvyxnM

Once a settlement amount is decided upon, it is necessary to have a financial expert determine how much to allocate to different financial assets in order to protect against certain risks. Learn more about allocating settlement funds here: http://ow.ly/iv0m50BxOSV

Wishing a happy birthday to Amy Fogle, Monolith's Director of Wealth Management! We're so happy to have you on the Seventh Amendment crew, Amy. Enjoy your day!

We love seeing these powerful female trial lawyers rocking our RBG masks!

Milestone just helped an injured client in his 20s plan for early retirement. We created a $1 million investment-backed structure with his settlement, which will allow him to receive $45,000 each year tax free for 14 years. After that, he will receive the rest in a bulk sum payout to retire with.

#ThrowbackThursday - Last year, Tembo joined Milestone as its newest #JusticeWarrior. #GoodBoy

The Settlement Account is a special trust designed specifically to care for the needs and circumstances of survivors who receive a personal injury settlement from a sexual assault case. It affords sexual assault #survivors unlimited time and space to financially plan for the future without eliminating options like trusts, structures, and tax-free investment accounts. It also provides access to legal and financial professionals who have been trained in trauma-informed care, as well as free comprehensive #settlement planning services from a nationally recognized firm. http://ow.ly/22p350Bv0Zi
