Philip Corboy, a nationally acclaimed trial lawyer in Chicago and one of the most influential lawyers in the country, wrote in the June 2000 ABA Journal: "...attorneys representing tort victims have an ethical and fiduciary obligation to obtain appropriate, fair and reasonable compensation for each client. Structured settlements offer an effective means of providing long-term financial security to the next of kin in wrongful death cases or to individuals with permanent, often profoundly disabling, physical injuries."
