Planning Past the Payout: Financial Wisdom After an Injury Case with Michael Saile and Scott Edelman
When a personal injury case settles, most clients breathe a sigh of relief - but what comes next is just as critical. In this episode of The Injury Pros, host Michael Saile welcomes Scott Edelman, 30 year industry veteran and President of Edelman Wealth Management, to discuss how to create a financial plan that goes beyond the payout. Scott and Mike explore what happens when settlement checks arrive, the emotional traps that can lead to bad financial decisions, and the key steps to securing long-term stability. They dive into topics like budgeting after injury, building a sustainable financial plan, planning for future healthcare, tax considerations, and creating both protection and opportunity for clients and their families.
Whether you’re an injury victim, attorney, or financial professional, this conversation provides actionable advice on turning a one-time settlement into lifelong security.
Key Takeaways
- Why every injury settlement needs a financial plan.
- The importance of slowing down before spending.
- How to work with attorneys, CPAs, and financial advisors as one team.
- Protecting your money from taxes, inflation, and healthcare costs.
- Building a plan that balances immediate needs with long-term goals.
- How financial planning can provide peace of mind and family protection.
Episode Highlights
- The “lottery effect” of injury settlements — and how to avoid the pitfalls.
- Why pre-settlement planning is as important as post-settlement investing.
- Understanding risk: market, healthcare, and longevity challenges.
- How to find and evaluate a trusted financial advisor.
