Litigation Ends. Security Begins.™
Bua Settlements is a seasoned leader in settlement planning, dedicated to unlocking access to ALL products, companies, and solutions for our clients.
Too often, a settlement consultant will act in one of the following ways:
- Promote a limited group of options
- Promote only one option
- Promote all-but-one option
To see if you are working with a settlement consultant that is limiting your options, please reach out to us for the "Structured Settlement Second Opinion™" and learn more about how we can help provide better outcomes to you and your clients.

Prior to forming Bua Settlements, Chris was the Senior Vice President of Sales at Independent Life, where he oversaw sales and operations for the company’s first $800 million in structured settlements, created and hosted the once-popular podcast, “Settlement Nation”, and took the lead in rolling out the company's innovative index-linked structured settlement annuity, iStructure.
