What Is a Structured Settlement program?
In its most general sense, the term Structured Settlement program means when a person as a plaintiff agrees to settle down a case with the defendant & the defendant agrees to pay future payments in installments to avoid legal actions against him. Sometimes in the structured settlement program, one or more annuities are purchased to assure the future payments to the plaintiff. It is seen that most of the cases, this program is used for settling a legal claim of the victims against a personal injury.
A structured settlement program can give you the future payment in your desired schedule; For example, the settlement amount can be paid to you in annual installments or can be paid to you in a period of few years with a lump sum amount, which ever you chose.
