A structured settlement is a negotiated, tax-free lawsuit or claim that is disbursed to the claimant in future periodic payments rather than a lump sum. An annuity is purchased by the carrier at the time of settlement and provides predictable future periodic payments to the claimant.
A structured settlement is used as a negotiating tool to bridge the gap between the demand and the offer. It allows settlement discussions to focus on the needs of the claimant rather than what the claimant believes their case is worth.
