Losing a loved one is one of the most painful experiences anyone can endure. If the death was caused by someone else’s actions, the emotional pain is often accompanied by confusion, frustration, and even anger. It is normal to feel overwhelmed by the thought of pursuing a legal case. However, it is important to understand that you do not have to navigate this process alone. At Fast Funds, we are here to support you and help you take the necessary steps toward securing financial justice for your loved one’s passing.

In Florida, wrongful death cases are serious matters that require careful attention. If your loved one’s death was caused by someone else’s negligence, it may be time to explore your legal options. With the right approach, you can hold the responsible party accountable and potentially recover compensation for your loss. One key aspect of this process is litigation funding, which can provide the financial security needed while you pursue a case. In this blog, we will walk you through how litigation funding works and how it can help you get through the legal journey with peace of mind.

What is Litigation Funding and How Does It Work?

Litigation funding, also known as legal funding or lawsuit funding, refers to financial assistance that can be provided to plaintiffs who are involved in a legal case, such as a wrongful death lawsuit. It allows individuals to receive financial support for legal expenses, living costs, or other necessary expenses while waiting for the outcome of their case.

In a wrongful death case, the grieving family may face considerable financial strain due to lost income, medical bills, funeral expenses, and other costs. Litigation funding is designed to alleviate these financial burdens by providing a cash advance to help cover these expenses as the case progresses.

This type of funding is typically provided by third-party companies that specialize in offering financial assistance to individuals involved in legal disputes. The process involves an application where the lender reviews the case’s merits, the likelihood of success, and other relevant factors. If the case is strong, they will approve the funding and disburse the necessary amount to the plaintiff. Importantly, litigation funding is non-recourse, meaning you only repay the loan if you win your case. If the case does not result in compensation, you are not obligated to repay the money.

- 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.

Why Consider Litigation Funding in a Wrongful Death Case

Pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit can take time. While the case is ongoing, the financial pressures of daily life can become overwhelming. With litigation funding, you no longer need to worry about how to pay for medical bills, funeral costs, or legal fees. Litigation funding can provide the breathing room necessary to focus on your case without the added stress of financial hardship.

Additionally, wrongful death cases can sometimes involve lengthy court processes. You may have to wait several months or even years for the final resolution. Litigation funding ensures that you can maintain financial stability during this waiting period, allowing you to concentrate on healing and pursuing justice for your loved one’s death.

Another reason to consider litigation funding is the protection it offers against settlement pressure. In some cases, insurance companies or defendants may try to settle quickly, often for an amount that is far lower than what you deserve. With the financial support from litigation funding, you are not forced into accepting an unfair settlement simply because you need immediate cash. This gives you more time to ensure that your case is settled fairly and justly.

How Litigation Funding Can Help Strengthen Your Wrongful Death Case

When it comes to wrongful death cases, having the right resources is crucial. Litigation funding helps level the playing field by ensuring that your legal team can focus on the facts of the case without worrying about financial limitations. Legal representation in wrongful death cases often involves detailed investigations, testimonies, and extensive trial preparation. All of these elements can be expensive, and without litigation funding, some families may find it difficult to afford them.

By securing funding, you enable your attorney to gather the necessary evidence, hire witnesses, and cover other critical expenses that can ultimately make a difference in the outcome of your case. The ability to fully invest in your case and prepare for trial can increase your chances of a successful outcome.

Moreover, litigation funding can give you access to a support system that ensures your case gets the attention it deserves. With the added financial security, your legal team can focus their efforts on building a compelling case rather than worrying about financial constraints. This can make a significant difference in the overall strength of your case and its likelihood of success.

Is Litigation Funding Right for Your Case

Before applying for litigation funding, it is important to consider whether it is the right choice for your wrongful death case. Litigation funding can be a valuable resource if you need financial assistance to cover the costs of pursuing your case. However, like any financial decision, it is essential to weigh the pros and cons.

In general, litigation funding works best for cases that have strong merits and a high likelihood of success. This is especially true in wrongful death cases, where the chances of securing a favorable outcome can be significant, depending on the circumstances of the death. Additionally, if your case involves complex legal issues, testimonies, or lengthy trials, litigation funding can provide the necessary resources to ensure that your case is prepared thoroughly.

It is also important to understand the terms and conditions of litigation funding before agreeing to it. While it can be a great tool for securing financial stability, it is essential to have a clear understanding of the repayment process, especially in terms of the interest rates and fees that may apply.
