Structured settlements: Better returns and excellent security
If you choose a structured settlement to resolve an injury or wrongful death claim, you'll get more than guaranteed payments and peace-of-mind. You'll also get excellent returns.
Look at the charts below. On the left is a sample case involving someone who wants payments to begin immediately. On the right is an example of how structured settlements can be deferred to provide greater retirement security.
In both cases, a tax-free structured settlement provides far better returns - with no ongoing management fees.
Retirement Security with A Structured Settlement
A 55-year-old man is injured in an auto accident. His wife is 53. The couple's attorney negotiates a $250,000 settlement that the couple uses for their retirement when the husband turns 65.
The couple considers two secure investments: corporate bonds and a structured settlement. The structured settlement provides a 65 percent higher return than corporate bonds - and can't be called if interest rates drop!
