The Winsom difference

Not all structures are created equal.

Winsom was founded to overcome the shortcomings of traditional settlement-planning firms. Our consultants use proprietary quoting to capture the arbitrage in the life market and years in catastrophic cases to change how counsel approaches the negotiation itself.

Largest payouts

Proprietary quoting techniques capture the arbitrage that exists between life markets—so the structure pays more, not just sooner.

Highest-rated companies

We place structured settlements with the highest-rated life insurance companies across the market, allowing us to compare options and build the best fit for each case.

Comprehensive counsel

From present-value analysis to MSA funding and fee deferrals, one specialist practice covers the full economics of the case.

On structured settlements

“Anyone settling a personal injury claim should seriously consider a structured settlement as part of their plan for financial recovery. Structured settlements can stretch settlement funds by providing tax-free payments for lost income, medical bills or other future needs, which delivers tremendous long-term security for injured people and their families.”

How we work

From inquiry to placement, without theatre.

  1. 01

    Case inquiry

    Send the facts—or call from mediation. There is no cost to involve us on a structured settlement.

  2. 02

    Valuation

    We model present value, medicals, wage loss, and any MSA so the number in the room is the right one.

  3. 03

    Market quotes

    Proprietary quoting across the life market captures pricing the other side did not know was available.

  4. 04

    Placement

    Documents, funding, and carrier selection close cleanly—so the recovery is protected for the life of the plan.
