“Our son sustained a horrible injury during birth that will require life-long medical care. There will be a large malpractice settlement. Our lawyer strongly recommends a structured settlement annuity, but my financial adviser says he can significantly grow the funds with proper, managed investments. What should I do?”
Interest in structured settlement annuities has been growing in 2024. Insurance companies issued about $2.6 billion of these specialized annuities from July to September, according to John Darer, a Connecticut expert on structured settlements. Darer sees demand for structured annuities topping $9 billion this year.
