My wife and I were walking on the sidewalk when a commercial truck turned the corner not seeing us and struck my wife who died in the accident. I was offered a structured settlement at mediation but wasn’t interested as I preferred to do my own thing myself back in Canada. After talking with my attorney and his dedicated structure broker Michael Rabinovich on the advantages a tax-free structure has for personal injury clients, I decided to put a portion of the money into the annuity that would give me a good monthly income for fifteen years and then the total principal investment back at the end in one lump sum.
In looking back at that decision I’m very glad I met Michael for giving me great advice on the advantages and putting my needs and interest first. I also want to thank my attorney for bringing him to the mediation as opposed to relying on the broker the defense brought to the mediation.
I would advise anyone involved in a personal injury case to learn the advantages of a guaranteed tax-free structured settlement and consider it like I did.
