What are the benefits of a Structured Settlement to the defendant/insurer?
Structured settlements allow the defendant/insurer to evaluate their cases by analyzing what it would cost to fund an annuity which will take care of the claimant/plaintiff’s future medical expenses, lost wages, and any additional future expenses. The defendant/insurer can become more creative in their negotiations with the claimant/plaintiff through the use of structured settlements, including the involvement of an Atlas Settlement Group representative during settlement discussions. In addition, the use of structured settlements elevates the probability of timely settlements which in turn reduces the costs of litigation and the risks of a jury trial.
