Structured Settlements

Under a structured settlement, an injury victim doesn't receive compensation for his or her injuries in one lump sum. Instead, he or she will receive a stream of tax-free payments tailored to meet future medical expenses and basic living needs. A structured settlement may be agreed to privately (for example, in a pre-trial settlement) or it may be required by a court order, which often happens in judgments involving minors.

Structured settlements have attracted strong support from plaintiff attorneys, state attorneys general, legislators, judges, and consumer and disability advocates. Fixed annuities, as part of a structured settlement, are an effective and established solution to settle damage liabilities in a variety of situations.
