The Sewing Mom

Do you know anyone who has received any kind of court settlement? I know a few people, including my brother-in-law who, many years ago, was involved in a bar brawl and had a broken bottle smashed over his head causing injuries. Although, I do believe his brain has never operated at full capacity, he was awarded Structured Settlement Payments by the court.

By receiving a structured settlement, he was able to do some things he’d never been able to do before, including purchasing a vehicle for himself. He is my age and to my knowledge has never held a regular, every day job, so this settlement was a windfall for him. It allowed him to take advantage of opportunities that he otherwise wouldn’t have had, including some of the medical expenses he incurred after getting hit with the glass bottle.

I only wish he had put some of that money to work for him to make it last longer. I realize it’s been so long ago now that there is little chance he would have any of it left now anyway, but it’s nice to dream.
