Structures are exceptionally flexible and can be designed for
virtually any set of needs. A relatively simple payment schedule can
be set up that provides for equal payments at set intervals - for
example, every month for 20 years.
Yet payments need not be in equal amounts. Someone who will need a
new wheelchair every three years might elect to receive a larger
payment every 36 months to help defray the cost. (This would
presumably be in addition to the regular payments.)
Structured settlement's inherent flexibility means that they are
well-suited to compensate people for a wide variety injuries. Your
attorney or a structured settlement broker will be able to explain
additional details as they apply to your case.
