When you settle your personal physical injury or sickness lawsuit, you have many financial options for your settlement funds. The list below contains a summary of these options, which can be chosen individually or with others. For legal, tax or investment advice, you should always consult a legal or tax advisor.
While structured settlements are considered conservative investments, the returns they provide on a tax-free basis often rival securities-based investments. Structured settlements also out perform other fixed investments, such as bonds, when compared on a net after-tax basis. Most other fixed investments are subject to transaction costs, reinvestment risk and taxes and therefore cannot provide similar returns to that of a structured settlement.
To view a comparison of structured settlements to other financial products, click here. You may also want to review the National Structured Settlement Trade Association's (NSSTA's) brochure, Structured Settlements, The Key to a Successful Financial Strategy which provides information on why structured settlements are particularly suited to victims of personal physical injury or sickness and how a structured settlement consultant is an invaluable resource in determining future medical costs as well as other financial considerations.

Your Financial Options
A: Cash Settlement
Settle with a single lump sum of cash tax-free.
Option B: Structured Settlement
Settle with a tax-free structured settlement annuity that pays you over time.
Option C: Trust
Establish a professional managed trust. This is especially helpful for special or supplemental needs claimants.
Option D: Combination
Select any combination of the first three options. For example, your structured settlement could provide some up-front cash in addition to periodic payments. You may also decide to fund a special needs trust with a structured settlement.
With these financial options, you have a new opportunity to regain financial control of your life. You know you can design a plan to meet your needs today but what about tomorrow? An SFA Consultant can visit with you to help set up a plan that is tailored to your future financial goals. To keep up with inflation, we can even add a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) to increase your payments on a scheduled basis. This is just one of the many ways a Structured Settlement Consultant can help you create a plan specifically for you. For more information, please contact a Structured Financial Associates (SFA) Structured Settlement Consultant today.
