Recommendations are perhaps most accurate from loved ones or co-workers. Colleagues who may have the same situation, might already be engaged in negotiations for a structured settlement, and you may be able to get recommendations from them if they are happy with the firm they are using. People you know who have experience in this, family or friends, may be able to recommend a broker to assist you.
It has become common practice for companies being sued to not want to pay for wrongful damages upfront, putting the claimant and their families under financial stress. To allow for this, a party can buy an annuity from a life insurance company or move the periodic payment to another party that will buy an annuity for it. Typically, this third party is an associate of the life indemnity company from which the income is purchased. The annuity payment is then given to the claimant by the third party.
'Qualified' assignments are preferred, as they allow companies to declare periodic payment obligations, which are excluded from the income of the company. For people receiving structured settlements, this type of regular payments will give them continual income and minimize the risk of someone making bad financial decisions.
Most people who are either beneficiaries or defendants in a structured settlement need consultants because they usually have no real idea of the total amounts involved in settlement cases. In a settlement both sides should be properly balanced and a structured settlement broker can do this. Once the settlement broker gets a complete assessment, they are able to help both the beneficiaries and the defendants to prepare calculations, they can also give information that will cause a better atmosphere for completing negotiations.
