What is a structured settlement?

A structured settlement is a financial package that allows court-awarded compensation to be paid in regular installments rather than in one lump sum. These installments may be paid over a fixed period or over the recipient's lifetime. Because each is tailor-made for the individual case, the structure may also include some immediate payment. Structured settlements are commonly used in settling personal injury or malpractice suits. However, structured settlements can vary widely; for instance, some are set up as retirement plans, while others provide payments on specific birthdays.

Do I have to sell my entire structured settlement?

No, frequently partial buyouts are the best option for J.G. Wentworth customers. We help clients carefully evaluate their needs to determine how much of their structured settlement they should sell, to build a transaction that provides the most flexibility.

How long will it take to convert my structured settlement into a lump sum?

Transactions are typically funded within four to six weeks from the time we receive a completed contract from a client. Each client's circumstances are unique so completion times may vary. We understand how important your money is to you, and we work very hard to expedite every transaction.

Why would I want to sell my structured settlement?

Structured settlements are established for many different reasons, attempting to take into account the potential future needs of the plaintiff and provide a reliable source of income. Unfortunately, this set up can quickly become a burden due to a lack of flexibility and inability to adapt to life's events. Selling part or all of your structured settlement can provide the financial flexibility to expand the financial options for you and your family.
