Should I File A Structured Settlement Lawsuit?

Apr 21, 2024 -

Should I file a structured settlement lawsuit? This is one of the most common questions people who receive structured settlements ask. Here are some considerations that should be taken into account before filing a Structured Settlement lawsuit.

It may be tempting to immediately sell the structured settlement after receiving it, but doing so can create problems down the road. First, selling a structured settlement can reduce the amount of money owed to you, but the process may not be as easy as some people believe. Some people believe it's not necessary to sell their structured settlements because they will be able to take the money and pay it to themselves. However, this could result in an increase in interest rates on your loan. Second, you may have to deal with creditors who have defaulted on your mortgage or other loans, meaning they still owe you money.

Third, some states do not allow a structured settlement to be sold. If you're going to sell your settlement, you'll need to get your lawyer to write a contract for you. A contract is used to describe what you are entitled to and how you will receive it. It can help protect you from unscrupulous sellers.

You should also consider the impact that selling your structured settlement could have on your credit rating. Selling a structured settlement will decrease your credit rating because you are no longer receiving regular payments. You may be able to buy a house and put down a mortgage, but you may find that you will have to pay a higher interest rate on your mortgage loan. Finally, if you don't sell the structured settlement, it could become difficult or impossible to get credit from another company or entity. To avoid having to sell your structured settlement, you should look at alternative options.

A court hearing will be required in order to file a lawsuit to sell a structured settlement to someone who will offer you a lump sum. This hearing will determine if you are entitled to sell your structured settlement. If you win, you will have the option to get the lump sum payment or keep the rest of the settlement for your future expenses.

Whether you should file a Structured Settlement lawsuit is up to you. However, if you decide to do so, you should follow these tips to ensure you have a smooth and successful process.
