Structuring a Catastrophic Injury Settlement

When someone suffers a minor physical injury and a settlement is reached, the settlement funds offer financial peace of mind until the injured individual can resume normal activities. When a catastrophic injury occurs – requiring medical and personal care – the settlement takes on a more vital role. Settlements must last a lifetime so that the injured individual receives medical treatment and can lead as normal a life as physically and emotionally possible. Each catastrophic-injury case is different, but there are similarities that are the basis for determining the type of structured settlement to create.

What is a “Structured Settlement”?

Structured settlements are tax efficient and can have asset protection and spendthrift advantages too. Like other tax deferral ideas, their results are more impressive the longer their term and the slower they pay out. They aren’t for everyone, and you shouldn’t structure every nickel you receive. Once they are set up, they generally can’t be changed.

Over the past 20 years, more than 50 percent of the structured settlements facilitated by Ringler Associates, the world's oldest and largest settlement annuity firm, were less than $50,000. Another approximately 17 percent were between $50,000 and $100,000. These figures are typical in most annuity firms.
