What Is A Structured Settlement?

Structured Settlements
FAQs
My personal injury attorney is encouraging me to take a structured settlement rather than a lump sum for a permanent injury. What is a structured settlement and why might it be better for me than a lump sum payment?
My six-year old son was hit by a car and will be disabled for the foreseeable future with ongoing medical and hospital costs. My husband says that the court will probably require us to do a structured settlement. What does this mean and why would the court require us rather than take a lump sum and investing it ourselves?
My husband and I were injured in a bus accident. My husband will be out of work for a year and my part-time income cannot support our family. Our attorney says a structured settlement will give us regular payments, but he never has put one together. He would hire an expert. Should we trust him? What kind of questions should I ask? Should I shop around?
What types of structured settlements are available and what are the differences?

FAQs
Are structured settlement payments considered income for purposes of public benefit programs, such as social security and medicaid?
My step-mom who is terminally ill had an accident. Her attorney says that she should take a lump sum settlement rather than a structured settlement because she needs the money now and won't be here to receive the payments over several years. She wants me to get any remaining payments - not a lump sum after she's gone because she is afraid i'll blow it all if I get the full amount at one time. How should she work this out?
I settled my injury lawsuit by agreeing to a structured settlement. My circumstances have changed and I need a lump sum of money. Can I trade my annuity in for a lump sum? If not, can I sell my annuity to someone else for cash? Are there any tax consequences? Do I need court approval to sell? How do I determine what it is worth -- and get the best deal?
Can I invest my tax-free lump sum settlement and still qualify for tax-free benefits on the earnings?
