1616. Damages awarded for injury are exigible in the form of capital payable all at once, unless otherwise agreed by the parties.
Where the injury suffered is bodily injury and where the creditor is a minor, however, the court may order payment, in whole or in part, in the form of an annuity or by periodic instalments, on the terms and conditions it fixes, which may include indexation according to a fixed rate. Within three months after the date on which the creditor attains full age, he may demand immediate and discounted payment of any amount still receivable.
