Before getting a structured settlement, you have to win a judgment or settle your lawsuit. Then you get paid the settlement amount in installments over time. Generally, defendants purchase annuities for the amount that need to be paid. These provide monthly payments to the person holding the structured settlement. In short, structured settlements are just a way to allow payment of a legal judgment over time.
