A structured settlement is a type of annuity that guarantees an equal amount of payment on a certain interval. The payment frequency might be weekly, monthly, quarterly, bi-yearly, or yearly. The regular payment goes on for a certain amount of time usually a large chunk of the plaintiff’s life. Another special feature of this type of compensation payment is that it is free of tax which means the injured party can receive the money without being liable to pay government tax on it.
