Steps Involved in a Structured Settlement


An Illustrative Example


Step One:
A professional knowledgeable about the use of structured settlements is brought into the negotiations and works with the claimant to educate and identify the best alternatives relevant to their case. ( Local contacts )

Step Two:
With the assistance of this professional the present and future financial needs of the claimant (and possibly beneficiary or dependents) are assessed and a structured settlement plan is drafted.

Step Three:
An amount is agreed upon by both the claimant and defendant (or insurer) in which often times an immediate sum of cash is set aside to cover legal fees and other immediate financial commitments along with some immediate cash compensation for the claimant.

Step Four:
The remaining portion of the settlement the defendant (or insurer) agrees to could be used to purchase an annuity from a life insurance carrier (such as Hartford Life) to fund the agreed upon future payment stream.

Step Five:
The claimant then receives periodic payments from the life insurance carrier (or annuity issuer) as outlined in the agreed upon structured settlement plan.
