Many of us may think we are financially secure because of a good salary or healthy investment portfolio, but attorney Thomas A. Schweich has seen disaster hit even those who seemed to have it all. One of his clients was in a car accident and ended up being responsible for another person’s astronomical medical expenses, only to find that her insurance covered little of it. Her family lost everything. Another was suddenly fired from a job with a high salary after sending one inappropriate email. In his work as an attorney, Schweich helps his clients deal with the fallout of problems like these. Now he offers a sound, crashproofing plan for avoiding that kind of disaster by thoroughly protecting your job, your personal finances, and your personal liability. Just as The Gift of Fear showed people how to protect themselves from violent crime, this book shows them how to protect themselves from unforeseen financial disaster.
