What is Litigation Funding?

Litigation funding is a financial option that allows plaintiffs involved in lawsuits to secure funds to cover their living expenses, medical bills, and legal costs during the litigation process. In the case of a premises liability lawsuit, which involves accidents occurring due to unsafe conditions on someone else’s property, litigation funding can provide vital support while you await the outcome of your case.

The process begins when a third-party funding company evaluates your case. If they believe there is a strong chance of a successful outcome, they provide you with the funds you need. This can be especially helpful for individuals who are unable to work because of their injuries, or who are facing financial difficulty due to ongoing medical treatment.

How Does Litigation Funding Work for Premises Liability Cases?

Litigation funding works as a cash advance based on the potential outcome of your case. It is important to understand that this is not a loan in the traditional sense. Unlike loans, litigation funding companies do not require repayments if your case is unsuccessful. If your case ends in a settlement or court judgment in your favor, the funding company is repaid from the proceeds of the settlement or judgment.

- WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING -

In June, my wife and I asked our attorney about giving us a loan against any settlement proceeds from our case. He told us that the state bar does not
permit lawyers to participate in the financing of clients. The offer of settlement was very low so the case needed to be filed in court. I called Fast Funds. Within 24 hours, I had entered into an agreement with them, selling a very small portion of the anticipated proceeds to them in exchange for immediate financing. Now my suit is in court and I don't have to worry about money until it's outcome. Thank god for Fast Funds
B.G.
As a result of the advances you have made to our client, we were able to refuse an extremely low settlement offer and take the case to court. We settled the day of the trial for a very generous sum. Had there been no advances by Fast Funds, our client would have had no choice but to accept the inadequate offer since he was in severe debt due to his inability to work. Thank you for your helpful assistance in providing our client with the ability to persevere.

I was involved in an accident which took my left leg. I was forced to live homeless for eleven months. Thanks to the Fast Funds people advancing money. I now live in an apartment,I am walking on a prosthetic and otherwise getting my life back together, even though my attorney has not yet settled my lawsuit. I don't know what I would have done for money because the insurance company has offered nothing so far.
A.R.S.
I was involved in an auto accident which caused me to suffer a herniated disc. Because of this injury, I was forced to miss many months of work. I had no income and no place or person to turn to for money. My attorney told me he was unable to help with any financing and the insurance company was refusing to settle the case. I turned to a company called Fast funds. They immediately reviewed my file and took the financial pressure off by providing me with interim financing. I am now able to wait for as long as it takes for my lawyer to achieve a successful result in my case. Without the financial involvement of Fast Funds, I don't know what I would have done.
K.P.
I wanted to thank you for your sensitivity in helping me cope through a very difficult time in my life. Without your help, I would have been unable to pay my rent , forcing my wife and children to be put on the street. I have not been able to return to work and I was tempted to accept the insurance company's very low offer to settle, even though I knew it was not fair or reasonable. You have given me the ability to withstand the financial pressures. Thanks for your help. I will never forget it
C.S.
I have in the past referred clients to Fast Funds Inc., a non-recourse company. The experience of my clients
and my firm were totally positive. Fast Funds was responsive to the clients financial and emotional needs, provided the necessary emergency money and did not interfere in any manner with my handling of the cases. The clients, without my input, negotiated the advance directly with the company. In each case, they were completely satisfied with the final result of the case, including the amount of profit earned by Fast Funds. Non-recourse funding is clearly a valuable tool to the plaintiff's attorney.
M.J.L.
"I am writing to recommend the valuable assistance of the Fast Funds Inc., a company that provided interim funding to financially needy clients. They help to insure that a case will be brought to a successful resolution. A good case in point is when I was offered $75,000.00 for a seriously injured client. Had she not been able to take advantage of the advance financing offered by Fast Funds, I would have been forced to take the money. As it turned out, because my client now had the financial ability to withstand the pressures of time, I tried the case to a jury and received a verdict of $315,000.00.
M.S.D.
It is my belief that non-recourse companies, such as Fast Funds, the company to whom I refer my needy clients, perform an invaluable service to both the client and the attorney. Simply put, it is common knowledge that one of the tools negotiation utilized by insurance companies is time. Offering
considerably less money than the actual case value to a client in desperate need of funds while the case is pending, gives the insurance companies a tremendous advantage. This advantage is minimized and the playing field is leveled when the client has the ability to obtain funds for a minimal portion of the anticipated proceeds. Many times, with no prospects of income, an injured party will settle the case for whatever offer is made.

This can be a huge relief for premises liability plaintiffs who are worried about paying for day-to-day expenses while their case is ongoing. Instead of worrying about the financial burden, you can focus on getting better and letting your lawyer build the strongest case possible for you.

The Benefits of Litigation Funding

One of the key benefits of litigation funding is that it allows you to have the financial resources you need without having to take out high-interest loans or put your home or assets at risk. Since the funding is non-recourse, you don’t have to repay the money if you lose your case. This means you can pursue your legal claim without the added pressure of financial stress.

Another benefit is that litigation funding companies often evaluate your case based on its merits, rather than your current financial situation. This means that even if you don’t have the money to pay for the case upfront, you can still have access to the funds you need to cover expenses while your lawyer works to get a favorable result.

When Should You Consider Litigation Funding?

If you’ve been injured due to a premises liability accident, you may be facing significant medical bills, lost wages, and other financial burdens. If you are unable to work due to your injury, this can place a significant strain on your finances. In such situations, litigation funding can help provide the financial support you need while you await the outcome of your case.

It’s important to note that litigation funding is typically considered for cases where there is a strong chance of success. The funding company will evaluate your case and decide whether or not they believe it’s worth investing in. However, if your case is solid and likely to result in compensation, litigation funding can help ensure you don’t have to settle for less than what you deserve simply because of financial constraints.

How to Apply for Litigation Funding

Applying for litigation funding is a relatively simple process. First, you will need to discuss your case with a lawyer who can assess its merits and provide you with guidance on how to proceed. Your lawyer will then contact a litigation funding company to present your case. The funding company will review the facts of your case and determine whether they are willing to provide you with a cash advance.

Once approved, the funding company will provide you with the necessary funds. These funds can be used to cover medical bills, living expenses, or legal fees, allowing you to focus on the case without worrying about how to pay for everyday needs.

Things to Consider Before Using Litigation Funding

While litigation funding can be a great way to ease the financial burden during your premises liability case, it’s important to understand that it does come with costs. The terms of the funding agreement may include a fee or interest charged on the money provided. This is typically calculated as a percentage of the amount advanced and is due once your case is successfully settled or won.

Before deciding whether to pursue litigation funding, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the terms of the agreement and how much it will cost you if your case is successful. Your lawyer can help you navigate this process and ensure that you are making the best decision for your case.
