Understanding the importance of receiving a Structured Settlement Affidavit in every case.
Structured Settlements are an innovative and proven method used to bridge the gap between a plaintiff and defendant producing a win-win situation. Unfortunately, this tool intended to provide tax-free payments to plaintiffs and a resolution for defendants, can also be a tool for abuse.
That’s why, nearly 30 years ago, Creative Capital redefined the industry standard and developed CORA, a Certificate of Reliability and Assurances, also referred to as a “Structured Settlement Affidavit”. This affidavit offers plaintiffs, defendants and the courts 100% transparency and accountability on every case.
Since its creation, many judges have incorporated CORA into their court rules and will not approve a settlement without this document. Made under oath, it asserts the integrity of the settlement process, assures the full disclosure of terms and carries all penalties for perjury, including criminal liability.
Why CORA?
Per CORA, the Structured Settlement Consultant warrants & represents that they:
Are not affiliated with, owned or controlled by, any insurance carrier.
Will not provide any information about this settlement to a factoring company for any purpose and is not affiliated with, owned or controlled by, any factoring company.
Do not pay commission rebates to any party or carrier, or evade the anti-rebating statutes through "service" or "administrative" fee arrangements.
Fully disclose age ratings and never misrepresents the cost of a structured settlement by engaging in post-settlement medical underwriting to secrecy reduce the defendant’s cost.
Always discloses the true cost of its structured settlements and does not attempt to artificially inflate settlement value by using unrealistic present value calculations.
