Unstructured Settlement
Me Lisa Delaney, 43, is injured in the brain following a medical error of 1984 that caused a stroke during surgery. The hospital agreed to settle through a structured settlement, as supervised by a county custodian.Delaney soon married Terry, who took over the conservation of the colony and proceeded to make loans against the colony, which matched about $ 350,000. It did not take long before all the money was gone. According to the civil complaint filed by Lisa, Terry had used the loan money to buy "regulated substances, illegal drugs, jewelry, alcoholic beverages and other non - commercial items". Of course, Delaney is suing $ 10 million in punitive damages.
A lot of energy time, and effort has been put into structuring a regulation in the Me ' Lisa and he was too easily defeated. Should we consider making the regulations "unstructured"? Some are concerned that "factoring" or "cashing" businesses take advantage of customers, taking a large part of the settlement in exchange for a much lower lump sum.
In the case of Ms. Lisa, it makes sense to put in place more safeguards to protect her rights and interests in her settlement, especially because she is injured in the brain. We should seek to protect minors, the elderly and people with mental or physical disabilities. Everyone has access to resources and information to help them make the best choices and should have the right to choose what it wants. I personally know of cases where cashing-in was life-saving, fulfilling dream, and absolutely a positive choice. I am also personally aware of situations where customers have cashed in their rules and it was absolutely a bad decision. The disintegration of a settlement seems to be a great American freedom, but it must not be as morally tasteless as what happened in the Delaney case.
