Why do people get structured settlements?

There have been plenty of commercials that talk about
structured settlements and how there are companies
that will pay you for your structured settlement. But
some people wonder why people get structured
settlements.

There are a few reasons why someone would get a
structured settlement. Some of the reasons are listed
below.

1. Someone may be awarded a structured settlement when
they have gotten an injury that will require long-term
treatments, where there may be medical costs in the
future, and the structured settlement is to help meet
the expenses of family and living.

2. Another reason that someone might get a structured
settlement is when it has to do with workman’s
compensation. The person who was injured may be unable
to work or is unable to work and earn the money that
he or she was making before they were injured.

3. A disability that is either temporary or permanent,
and that is going to take a lot of time to recover.

4. A case of wrongful death so that the survivors of
the deceased have a regular income because a source of
income, such as a parent or a spouse, has died.

These are just a few of the reasons why someone might
be offered a structured settlement. There are other
reasons, but these are the main ones.

If you are someone who may be entitled to a structured
settlement, it’s a good idea to have legal
representation so that they make certain you are taken
care of.
