Structured settlement is where a number of payments are made over a period of time.

Why are you confused? Didn't you agree to the settlement in the first place?

Have you truly been given this option or does your Atty already know that you are being offered a "structured settlement"?

What are the advantages of the structured settlement over the lump sum which most would take and run with? Is this a Federal/State taxed settlement?
