Structured Settlement

Millions of Americans are injured in accidents each year — often the injured opt for compensation through a structured settlement. This type of settlement provides a stream of payments over many years.

While this option works well for some, many people find that they need larger sums of cash in the near term to pay for things such as college tuition for a family member, a down payment for the purchase of a home, debt reduction, medical expenses, or perhaps to start a business.
