Are Structured Settlements More Likely To Be Used In Certain Types Of Cases?

Structured settlements can be ideally suited for many types of cases, including: Temporarily or permanently disabled individuals;
Guardianship cases that may involve minors or incompetents;
Workers compensation cases;
Wrongful death cases where the surviving spouse and/or children need monthly or annual income; and
Severe injury, especially with long-term needs for medical care, living expenses and support of family.
Independent surveys show that the more serious the injury, the greater the likelihood that a structured settlement will be used.
