Understanding Florida Wrongful Death Lawsuits

A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil case that is filed when someone loses their life due to the negligence or wrongful actions of another person, company, or entity. This can include cases such as car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, or even criminal acts. In Florida, the personal representative of the deceased’s estate, often a family member, has the right to file a wrongful death lawsuit on behalf of the surviving family members.

These lawsuits are often filed to seek compensation for funeral costs, medical bills, lost wages, and the emotional pain and suffering caused by the loss of a loved one. It is important to understand that while the legal process can provide financial relief, the cost of pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit can sometimes feel like an additional burden during an already difficult time.

Financial Challenges of Pursuing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

The emotional toll of losing a loved one is already immense, but the financial strain can make it even harder to navigate this challenging time. Many families are concerned about the costs associated with hiring an attorney, paying court fees, and covering the expenses required to prepare a wrongful death lawsuit. The financial burden of these cases can be overwhelming, especially when you are already dealing with the loss of your loved one.

- 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.

R.J.F.

However, it is important to know that you do not have to face this alone. There are options available to help you fund your case without adding further stress to your situation.

Understanding these options can empower you to make the right decision for your family while pursuing the justice your loved one deserves.

How Lawsuit Funding Can Help You

One option to help cover the costs of a wrongful death lawsuit is lawsuit funding. Lawsuit funding, also known as legal funding or litigation financing, allows plaintiffs to receive financial assistance while their case is ongoing. This type of funding is provided by third-party companies that specialize in providing loans to people who are in the middle of a lawsuit.

With lawsuit funding, you can receive money to cover your legal fees, living expenses, and other financial needs while your wrongful death case progresses. The funding is typically provided in the form of a non-recourse loan, meaning that if your case does not result in a financial settlement or verdict, you do not have to repay the loan. This makes it a risk-free option for families who may not have the resources to pay for legal costs upfront.

Why Lawsuit Funding is an Attractive Option for Families

For many families, lawsuit funding can be an attractive option because it allows them to pursue their wrongful death lawsuit without worrying about how to pay for the costs involved. Legal fees and court expenses can quickly add up, and without lawsuit funding, some families may feel compelled to settle their cases prematurely to avoid further financial hardship. This can result in a lower settlement than what the case is truly worth.

With lawsuit funding, you can continue your case without feeling pressured to accept a low offer. This means you have the opportunity to fight for the full compensation that your family deserves, which can help cover funeral costs, lost wages, and other financial losses caused by the wrongful death.

What You Need to Know About Lawsuit Funding

Before considering lawsuit funding, it is important to understand how the process works. Typically, lawsuit funding companies will assess your case to determine whether it has a strong chance of success. If they approve your case, they will provide you with the funds you need to cover your expenses.

It is important to remember that lawsuit funding companies usually charge fees or interest for providing this service. The cost of the funding will depend on the terms of your agreement and the specific company you choose. While these fees can add up, they are often a small price to pay compared to the financial relief they provide during a challenging time.

If you choose to pursue lawsuit funding, make sure you fully understand the terms of the agreement and work with a trusted, reputable funding company. This will ensure that you are getting the best possible deal and that you are not burdened with hidden fees or unfavorable terms.

Other Options for Funding Your Wrongful Death Lawsuit

In addition to lawsuit funding, there are other ways you can manage the financial costs of a wrongful death case. One option is to hire an attorney who works on a contingency fee basis. Many personal injury and wrongful death attorneys offer this type of fee arrangement, which means you do not have to pay any upfront legal fees. Instead, the attorney takes a percentage of the settlement or verdict if you win the case.

This can be a great option for families who may not have the financial resources to pay for legal representation upfront. It also allows you to pursue your case without worrying about how to pay for an attorney out of pocket.

Another option is to explore state or federal assistance programs for victims of wrongful death. These programs may provide financial help to cover medical costs, funeral expenses, and other related expenses. However, the availability and eligibility requirements for these programs can vary, so it is important to research what options are available in Florida.
