It can take months—or even years—to receive the compensation you are entitled to after an injury. So how do you cover your medical expenses in the meantime? A few thoughts:

• Health Insurance: If you have it, check to see what your policy covers.
• Personal Injury Protection (PIP) Insurance: If injured in a car accident, your auto insurance policy may provide some relief.
• Deferred Payment: If you file a lawsuit, your medical provider may be willing to defer payment until the case is concluded.
• Medicare or Medicaid: For those who qualify, another option to consider.

We understand this can all be confusing, so we help our clients sort through their healthcare options. Questions? Contact us now: https://bit.ly/2WpwuHh

What is accounting malpractice?

It's when an accountant or auditor fails to do their job properly, and it costs you.

You hire an auditor to catch problems in your books. If they do a sloppy or incomplete job and miss fraud, missing money, or bad records, that's not just a mistake. It could be malpractice.

Signs to watch for:
✔️ A "clean" audit that missed real problems
✔️ Missing money nobody caught
✔️ Bad tax or financial advice
✔️ Inaccurate records signed off on

If a financial professional's failure cost your business, talk to us. https://bit.ly/4gNEJpx
