Can any of you tell me? She’s the lady in the peach-colored jacket. I KNOW I’ve seen her elsewhere. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H-C3Oa4Szuk) ---

HEY! That’s “The People’s Court” music! INFRINGEMENT! INFRINGEMENT! She looks a _little_ like Angela Bassett. ---

Gotta hand it to them, they have awesome commercials. [This one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGUefzSP6U4)is my favorite. Question- are there really that many people with structured settlements or annuities out there? I’m just not seeing this being a big market. Sort of like those “we buy gold” ads where they show people bringing in what appears to be a hand full of booty from a pirate chest. ---

And how many people have that Spastic Leg Syndrome? ---

Thank you for asking that! I always wondered that too. Being unemployed for periods in the past I learned that there are a lot of people with structured settlements who are the apparent demographic that technical colleges are interested in and potentially have a rare form of lung cancer that could be remedied by suing the crap out of someone. ---

Virtually everyone that gets injured at work and has any type of permanent disability because of it gets a settlement, and the settlement gets paid out over months/years. It might not seem like many people, but it’s probably more than you think. I blew out my shoulder at work, needed surgery, got a payout ever 8 months or so…in addition to not even seeing (or paying) a single medical bill. Sure, people win the lottery or come out on top in cases against big companies and decide later they want the lump sum instead of monthly/yearly checks, but I’d guess that the majority of their clients are workers comp cases.
