1171. Yes they were fixed to amount and frequency but what I'm thinking and wondering is if the original "structured" MSA was originally proposed in Sept. 2014 at a given amount per year for their perceived rated age and lifespan. The longer it takes to settle the suit my lifespan would be reduced accordingly and that in turn would reduce the amount of MSA.

So if they proposed a settlement amount for 100K over a 10 year span if my lifespan is reduced by 2 years that would be mean they'd only be on the hook for 80K.

The services that would be required would be reduced.
Medications, P.T., annual doctor visits etc.

I would think this would/could also reduce any percentage the attorney would be entitled to as well.

Not sure why my attorney would agree to this and the structured MSA was the W/C carriers proposal. As soon as I asked this question of my attorney all of a sudden a case management hearing was set up by my attorney.

These attorneys have so many clients they rely on assistants and lord only knows when he gets some of this info.

I do have a call in to him and will follow up tomorrow. Would really like this resolved.

When I originally asked about the MSA I wasn't aware I had a choice. I think I do and should.

Thanks much for your input.
