Structured Settlements
How does a structured settlement compare to a lump-sum payment?
- Lump-sum payments that you invest yourself are subject to substantial tax liabilities and brokerage fees. Structured settlement payments are tax free and require no fees or expenses.
- Stocks, bonds and CDs are typically subject to the risk of market fluctuations and possible loss. Structured settlement payments are guaranteed.
- Structured settlements provide a rate of return that other investments typically can’t match.
