Most common settlement types

Typically, a predetermined schedule will be created detailing when and how often they’ll receive a payment. The installments are an alternative to large compensatory lump sums that usually don’t offer long-term financial stability.

The most common types of structured settlements involve the following:

1. Medical Malpractice

Any act or omission by a physician during treatment of a patient that deviates from accepted norms of practice in the medical community and causes an injury to the patient. Medical malpractice is a specific subset of tort law that deals with professional negligence.

2. Personal Injury

An injury to a person’s body or mind, as the result of an accident.

3. Wrongful Death

When a person’s death is caused by a negligent or intentional act of a wrongdoer.

Sales of Structured Settlement Payments are subject to Court Approval and other conditions which can take 60-90 days to complete. All transactions are at J.G. Wentworth’s sole discretion.

The numbers we provide here are estimates based on some assumptions:

On your own:

Based on industry averages, we estimate a monthly compounding interest rate of 22.99% and that you are making a minimum payment that is 2.5% of your total debt.

JGW:

The length of your program is determined by your debt amount. Programs are between 24 and 60 months in length and average program length is around 42 months.

Savings amount is an estimate base on average customer savings on their monthly payment. Real results will vary and some customers will save more, less or not at all.
