STRUCTURED SETTLEMENTS

Structured settlements are growing quickly thanks to favorable tax advantages. Structured settlements are legal settlements where the plaintiff receives a periodic payment for a specific period of time, rather than just one lump sum payment. Structured settlements are becoming increasingly common in a wide variety of legal cases. The winner of a structured settlement often is able to sell the rights to the settlement to a variety of companies that will then pay a one-time lump sum.
