In a long awaited unveiling the National Structured Settlement Trade Association, NSSTA, released the first of several videos featuring legendary trial lawyer Joe Jamail of Houston, TX. Best known for his landmark victory in the Penzoil vs Texaco case, the largest jury verdict in US history at the time, but also widely regarded among trial lawyers as one of the great litigators and advocates for injured plaintiffs, Mr. Jamail discusses in this video the responsibility a trial lawyer has to make sure his client is protected AFTER the verdict or settlement by the use of a structured settlement annuity. This video on structured settlements value and importance, from the perspective of an esteemed trial lawyer should be mandatory viewing for any personal injury lawyer working today. By discussing the value and importance of structuring a settlement using an annuity approach, Mr. Jamail touches on the core concepts of advocacy of your clients, responsibility for what happens after the verdict and a degree of compassion and interest for the client beyond the mere achievement of settlement or verdict. This is one of the great trial lawyers, in fact often referred to by many as the trial lawyer of the century, and we at LBN encourage you to not only view this video if you are considering a structured settlement, but share it with associates well in advance of settlement decisions to discuss how you or your firm protects the client once the verdict or settlement comes in. The NSSTA is an industry trade group and association of settlement professsionals and life insurance companies with offices in Washington, DC.
