"Don't Overlook the Structured Settlement"
Posted on August 23, 2010
As we noted last week, the American Bar Association's incoming president for 2011-12 will be renowned attorney William Robinson of Frost Brown Todd.
In 2001, Mr. Robinson authored “Don’t Overlook the Structured Settlement,” a lengthy article in For The Defense magazine, a publication of DRI – The Voice of the Defense Bar. The article describes the benefits to the defense bar of incorporating structured settlements into pre- and post-trial negotiations.

About structured settlements and the NSSTA:
Recognized and encouraged by the federal tax code since 1983, structured settlements provide strong financial security to victims of physical injuries and their families. Using a tailored stream of payments, a structured settlement provides a long-term payment stream that is completely exempt from state and federal income taxes.
A structured settlement's future payment stream is funded through a highly secure life insurance annuity. For a free handout that describes some of the consumer protection regulations that bolster the security of a structured settlement annuity, please click HERE.
The National Structured Settlements Trade Association (NSSTA) represents nearly 1,200 licensed consultant, brokers, insurance companies, and other professionals involved in establishing and administering structured settlements.
