When experience matters most,
it shows.
Blonder/Cantwell Settlements Group brings more than 150 years of combined structured settlement experience to every case we touch – helping people reach resolutions that are financially sound, durably satisfying, and efficiently achieved. A well-designed structured settlement isn't a compromise. It's a better outcome for everyone.
Why Structured Settlements?
The most effective tool in claims resolution.
When a claim settles, the design of the resolution matters as much as the number. A structured settlement creates a series of tax-advantaged periodic payments to meet real needs and create security and certainty, improving the economics of settlement for everyone involved.
Provides financial security.
For injured people and their families, structured payments provide financial security that a lump sum rarely delivers on its own. Payments from physical injury structured settlements are fully exempt from federal and state income tax under IRC §104. Payment schedules can be tailored to real needs – ongoing medical costs, income replacement, future education expenses, long-term care – creating a plan that fits a person's actual life rather than leaving them to manage a windfall alone or under the influence of bad advice.
Creates meaningful negotiations.
For attorneys, defendants, insurers, and claims professionals, structured settlements create meaningful conversations at the negotiating table. The ability to offer guaranteed future value allows for tailored resolutions. Structuring can bridge gaps that might otherwise send a case to trial, transforming transactions into purposeful solutions.
