Separate quickbooks for operating/trust. Use an excel to assign client to every transfer in/out of trust account and make sure it always matches QB balance down to the penny. Have a folder with all the client's liens to refer back to before dispersing anything. Note any cash advances in gigantic red letters at the top of your client notes. Idk he can probably explain better.

Subrogation and settlement disbursement and accounting are literally the most complicated areas of car crash PI. So, say some of your client’s meds are paid by worker’s comp. In my state Worker’s comp has to be notified pre settlement if the settlement won’t 100% reimburse them. There are also weird subrogation rules when meds are paid by VA benefits, Medicare, medicaid, etc. These entities may all have claims for settlement funds. The UIM carrier has a subrogation interest in the 3rd party settlement too. In my state youre required to get a sort of pre clearance from the UIM carrier before settling with the third party carrier if a UIM claim has been filed. Lots of kooky stuff.

Yeah we have standard protocol for dealing with all of those issues you mentioned. Subrogation b/w carriers usually just takes 1 letter about our client not being made whole. Doesn't affect attorney fee anyway. The other subro stuff is what I consider statutory lien bucket. That seems to be getting somewhat more annoying over time but only affects a handful of cases and potentially really good cases because it means they went to ER. And honestly I'd rather deal with a Rawlings rep than a lien doctor on some of the shittier cases. The statutes limit what they can take ultimately and it's not something the client can blame us for anyway. And it doesn't affect our fee. The CAALA list is useful for one-off and evolving situations. If this cottage industry of ulcer-inducing side issues didn't exist PI might get too boring.
