An Introduction to Injury Settlements

Injuries may sometimes be caused by negligence of another person. In such cases, the party seen as responsible for the injury may have to pay compensation to the injured party. The compensation will help the victim financially by paying medical expenses, cover lost wages, and make up for any other financial loss suffered.

Structured Settlements

Structured settlements are the payments made to an injured consumer by the insurance company from where the person has bought his policy. As the name itself suggests, structured settlements are the payments made over a period of time rather than being paid in a lump sum amount. Given their nature, they are also called periodic payments.

Settlement Loans

The settlement of loans is a relatively new concept of financing that is surely and steadily taking roots in the business world. The benefits of loan settlements accrue to both the individuals and the business owners.

Viatical Settlements

The concept of viatical settlements works on the premise that a person with a terminal disease can sell his life insurance policy for less than the face value. The person can get lump sum cash and the buyer can collect the benefits of the policy after the original policyholder’s death. It sounds a bit grim but then there are always the harsh aspects of life. The longer the life expectancy, the less expensive the policy. But then life rarely follows a logical road and so the element of risk is there if the original policy holder’s life expectancy increases with the passage of time. It is after all a gamble on death. If the seller dies sooner than expected, you collect a higher return and on the other hand, if the person lives longer than expected, you will collect a lower benefit. Added to this is the fact that you can also end up losing your principal investment if the person lives long enough and you have to pay the additional premiums.

Viatical Life Insurance Settlements

The physical and emotional demands of a terminal illness are traumatic enough - both for the person and for the near and dear ones. Financial strains only serve to compound the trauma. Viatical life insurance settlements, if handled carefully, can provide financial relief. The process of viatical settlement involves the selling of a life insurance policy by a terminally ill person whose life expectancy has been predicted for about two years or so, to unrelated investors - which can be banks, private companies, or brokers.
