Structured Settlements and Periodic Payment Judgments features a full discussion of "Structured Settlement Factoring Transactions," with an analysis of Internal Revenue Code Section 5891-Victims of Terrorism Tax Relief Act-and its effect on reinforcing and expanding structured settlements. This statute has an impact on all structured settlements past and future. It provides claimants and their attorneys with definitions, procedures, guidelines and some protection under the Internal Revenue Code to help involved parties to transfer structured settlement payment rights following settlement.

Structured Settlements and Periodic Payment Judgments provides a multi-professional perspective that helps all participants understand important issues, including taxation; financing alternatives; negotiation strategies; factoring transactions; economic loss analysis; evaluating financial strength; insurance guarantee associations; evaluation and argumentation of damages; expert annuity testimony; mass tort litigation; annuity quoting; closing documentation; attorney compensation and professional liability; the impact of knowledge management; the the Model State Structured Settlement Protection Act; and more.

In addition, this unique work provides numerous sample forms including interrogatories, document requests, jury verdict forms, offer letters, settlement forms, an attorney fee agreement, as well as ratings for life insurance companies and lists of companies which provide periodic payments.
