When a pedestrian accident disrupts your life, it is normal to feel uncertain and worried about how to handle the legal challenges ahead. At our firm, we understand how overwhelming it can be to navigate the aftermath of an accident, especially when injuries, medical bills, and lost wages add to your stress. If you find yourself in this difficult situation, know that you are not alone. Fast Funds is here to provide the legal guidance you need to pursue justice and compensation while addressing your immediate financial concerns.

Understanding Pedestrian Accidents and Their Consequences

Pedestrian accidents often lead to devastating injuries due to the lack of protection for those walking on foot. Whether you were struck by a distracted driver, encountered a poorly marked crosswalk, or were hit in a parking lot, the impact of such an event can be life-changing. Victims frequently face broken bones, spinal injuries, traumatic brain injuries, and significant emotional distress. Recovery can take months or even years, leaving individuals unable to work and struggling to pay medical expenses.

The financial and emotional toll of these accidents can feel insurmountable. However, Florida law allows injured pedestrians to seek compensation for their damages. Pursuing a legal case can provide financial relief and a sense of justice. Yet, the process is not without challenges, particularly when dealing with insurance companies and legal expenses.

What is Litigation Financing and Why is it Important

Litigation financing, also known as legal funding, is a resource that can provide financial support to accident victims while their case is ongoing. This type of funding is particularly beneficial for those involved in pedestrian accident cases where the legal process may take months or even years to resolve. With litigation financing, you can secure the money needed to cover immediate expenses, such as medical bills, rent, or utilities, without the burden of waiting for a settlement or verdict.

Unlike traditional loans, litigation financing does not require monthly payments or collateral. Instead, the funding is repaid only if you win your case. This structure ensures that victims are not further financially strained during an already challenging time. It is a practical option for those who need financial stability while focusing on their recovery and legal claims.

- 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.

C.F.

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.

How Litigation Financing Supports Your Case

Pursuing justice after a pedestrian accident requires time, dedication, and resources. Litigation financing can play a critical role in leveling the playing field between accident victims and large insurance companies. With this funding, you can retain skilled legal representation, gather evidence, and build a strong case without worrying about upfront costs.

The funds can also alleviate personal financial pressures, enabling you to focus on your recovery and the legal process rather than immediate financial worries. By reducing stress and ensuring that you have the resources necessary to proceed with your claim, litigation financing increases your chances of a favorable outcome.

Steps to Access Litigation Financing

If you are considering litigation financing, the first step is to connect with an attorney who can evaluate your case. Once your legal team determines that your case has merit, they can assist you in exploring funding options. Legal funding companies work closely with attorneys to assess the strength of your claim and determine your eligibility for financing.

The process is straightforward and often involves providing documentation of the accident, medical records, and any relevant evidence to the funding company. After reviewing your case, the company will determine the amount of funding you qualify for. If approved, the funds are typically disbursed quickly, allowing you to cover your immediate expenses while your case progresses.

Key Considerations When Choosing Litigation Financing

When exploring litigation financing, it is essential to work with a trusted legal team that prioritizes your best interests. Your attorney can guide you in selecting a reputable funding company and ensuring that the terms of the agreement are fair and transparent. Understanding the repayment structure and any associated fees is crucial to making an informed decision.

Litigation financing is not a solution for every case, so it is important to discuss this option with your attorney to determine if it aligns with your needs. A knowledgeable legal team can help you weigh the benefits and potential risks, ensuring that your decision supports your overall legal strategy and financial well-being.

The Importance of Legal Representation in Pedestrian Accident Cases

Navigating a pedestrian accident case requires more than just filing paperwork and presenting evidence. It involves understanding complex legal procedures, negotiating with insurance companies, and advocating for fair compensation. An experienced attorney can provide the support and guidance you need to successfully navigate this process.

With legal representation, you can focus on your recovery while your attorney handles the legal complexities of your case. From investigating the accident and gathering evidence to negotiating settlements and representing you in court if necessary, a dedicated legal team can make a significant difference in the outcome of your case.

Protecting Your Rights After a Pedestrian Accident

After a pedestrian accident, it is important to take immediate steps to protect your legal rights. Seeking medical attention is a top priority, even if your injuries seem minor at first. Medical records play a vital role in supporting your claim for compensation, as they provide clear documentation of your injuries and the treatment you received. It is also crucial to report the accident to local authorities and obtain a copy of the police report, as this serves as an official record of the incident. Your next step should be to consult with an attorney who can guide you through the legal process and ensure your rights are fully protected.

Your attorney will investigate the accident, gather evidence such as eyewitness statements, surveillance footage, and accident reconstruction reports. This evidence strengthens your case and demonstrates the other party’s liability. With strong evidence in hand, you have a better chance of negotiating a fair settlement with the insurance company. Without an attorney, you risk being pressured into accepting a settlement that does not fully cover your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Protecting your rights from the beginning can significantly impact the final outcome of your case.
