Why might a plaintiff resist a structured settlement?
What will be an ideal response?
The downside of these settlements from the plaintiff's perspective is the inability to freely spend the monies; the uncertainty of the real present cash value of the settlement (because the negotiated figure is in the hands of the defendant); the fixed nature of the payments, which cannot be modified over time; the possibility that the death of the recipient may terminate some payments; and the possibility of insolvency of the company responsible for the payments.
