What We Offer

Services | for Claims Professionals

The services we offer to claims professionals include:

  • Providing structured settlement illustrations after settlement or for use in negotiations prior to settlement.
  • Preparing present value analysis of future damages, including analysis of life care plans and economic loss reports. (For New York claims, this includes CPLR 50A and 50B analysis.)
  • Attending mediations.
  • Working with the claimant and attorney to maximize the effectiveness of a structured settlement for all parties involved.
  • Designing and conducting educational programs on structured settlements and related topics.
  • Preparing, or aiding in the preparation of, all settlement and other documents required in a structured settlement.

Claims professionals frequently integrate our services – which are always provided free of charge – into the settlement process, even in cases where a structured settlement does not result.

In addition, because of our reputation for integrity and professionalism, and our strong relationships with all participants in the settlement process, we are often called upon when firmly entrenched positions, on either side, impede settlement negotiations. Our involvement, and the illustrations and analyses we provide, can be effective tools in promoting dialogue and the use of objective factors in the negotiation process.

Attorneys rely upon our experience, expertise, and dedicated personal service to ensure that the structured settlements in their cases are implemented correctly, with the greatest possible benefit to the claimant, and with complete transparency for all parties involved.

Services | for Claimants

For an injured claimant, the decisions involved in a structured settlement can seem overwhelming. We understand that no amount of money is more important than your health and well-being and that being asked to make significant financial decisions at an already difficult point in your life can be extremely daunting.

While we do not offer a cure, we do bring 80 years of experience working with injured individuals and their loved ones, and our advice always comes with understanding and respect.

We are committed to helping you:

1. Decide whether a structured settlement is appropriate in your case.
2. Design a plan specifically tailored to meet your needs and generate the highest possible return.
3. Implement the plan correctly so that it always remains tax-free and completely secure.

We will have as many meetings and phone conversations as necessary, always free of charge, to ensure that all your questions are answered and that you are as comfortable as possible with your financial decisions, whatever they might be.
