What is a Structured Settlement for Birth Injury Cases?

A birth injury settlement can be a one-time lump sum, or a structured settlement. A structured settlement is an option for families of children who have sustained permanent damage due to birth injuries from medical malpractice. In a structured settlement, tax-free payments can be received periodically so that you and your child are guaranteed consistent support for future treatment, special education costs, and other pressing needs. 

The cost of raising a child with permanent disabilities, especially one with cognitive impairments due to medical malpractice is staggeringly high. Usually, one of the parents is stuck having to attend to the child constantly, substantially limiting household earning capacity.

Settlement

With a structured settlement, instead of a one-time lump-sum payment, you will receive regular periodic payouts to support your child’s needs. 

This is advantageous for a variety of reasons:

  • Long-term financial security
  • Tailored payment schedules
  • Tax exemptions
  • Guaranteed payments
  • Flexible design (the parties are free to make stipulations)
  • Cost of living adjustments 
  • Protection from creditors 
  • No management fees 

With a structured settlement, you can future-proof long term care for your injured child, and guarantee that resources for their care will always be available whatever future circumstances may present. Our experienced birth injury lawyers at the Porter Law Group can arrange a structured settlement for you, and help you define the most suitable terms.
