A structured settlement also allows for the company makingpayments to pay in payments rather than in a large, lump sum. Todecide if a structured settlement is the right choice for you,consider these factors.

*In many cases, a structured settlement is one that will allowyou to receive monthly payments as opposed to one large lumpsum. It is often the case that a lump sum will be worth lessthan the payments could be over time. It is often the mostbeneficial in dollar amounts.


*Secondly, it has more tax advantages to it than that of a lumpsum payment. It is often structured to include a lesser amountof money going to taxes.

is incapable of work or has become incompetent.In these cases, it allows for monthly payments to allow carethroughout the life time.
