Thursday, January 31, 2002 5:41 PM Use of Structured Settlements on Behalf of Victims A large percentage of victims of personal bodily injury and/or dependent families of decedants in personal injury litigation today take advantage of the opportunity to have a "structured settlement" pursuant to Section 104(a)2 of the Internal Revenue Code. The structure allows a portion of the cash settlement which they might otherwise receive to be made to a life insurance company which provides either lifetime monthly payments or more complex "structures" of payments including college funds and retirement funds. Many major life companies offer these type of contracts. The United States already offers such payment plans to victims of Vaccine Injuries and many Americans who may have been injured by alleged negligence of United States employees. The Torts Branch of the Department of Justice is very familiary with these plans and their use to the benefit of the families involved. A comprehensive approach to the victims of 9-11 should include such plans Individual Comment September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written. 2002-01-31 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
