    Structured settlements are periodic cash payments to injury victims to pay for their losses. Structured settlements is a payment alternative for lump sum settlement. Unlike lump sum settlement, where a large single payment is made, victims who choose for structured settlement are compensated over a determined number of years or even for a lifetime. Terms of payment may include but are not limited to compensating for the victim’s loss of income, medical treatment fees and legal fees.

    Payment scheme through structured settlements is beneficial to both the victim and the defendant. For the victim’s side, this scheme is a means of being secured from long-term financial and economic difficulty via receiving a stable amount of cash over time. This also provides a worry free feeling since the victim doesn’t have to make plans on investing the money or create strategies for the future because of having a guaranteed source of income for a known period of time.

    While for the defendant’s side, this method makes payment agreeable and bearable. It also prevents the risk of going to court. Settling disputes out of the court is cheaper since there are less legal fees. In this effect, more people now opt for structured settlements over lump sum settlement for its practicality and benefits.
