What is Litigation Funding?

Litigation funding, sometimes known as legal financing, is a financial option that allows individuals to obtain funds to pursue a lawsuit, even if they don’t have the necessary resources to cover legal fees or other expenses associated with the case. This funding helps families take legal action in nursing home abuse claims without worrying about immediate financial strain. It allows families to secure the resources they need to fight for justice while leaving the burden of repayment until a successful outcome is achieved.

In a nursing home abuse case, the costs of legal action can be significant. Investigations, expert witnesses, medical reports, and attorney fees can quickly add up. Many families are simply unable to afford the upfront costs of litigation. Litigation funding provides the financial support needed to help cover these expenses and ensure that the case can proceed to a resolution.

Why is Litigation Funding Important for Nursing Home Abuse Claims?

Nursing home abuse cases can be emotionally taxing for families. It is often difficult to navigate through the legal complexities and manage the stress of such a sensitive issue, all while dealing with the trauma of knowing that a loved one has been harmed. On top of the emotional toll, pursuing legal action can be expensive.

Without litigation funding, many families may feel compelled to abandon or delay their legal claims because they are unable to afford the necessary legal costs. This can lead to a denial of justice for those who are already suffering due to the abuse their loved one has endured. Litigation funding offers a solution that removes the financial barriers, making it easier for families to pursue the justice their loved ones deserve.

How Litigation Funding Works for Nursing Home Abuse Claims

When you secure litigation funding, you are essentially entering into an agreement with a funding company that will provide you with money to cover the legal costs associated with your claim. In return, the funding company will receive a portion of the proceeds if the case is successful. If the case does not result in a favorable outcome, you are not required to repay the funding, making it a risk-free financial option for families.

- 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.

The amount of funding you receive is typically determined by the strength and value of your case. A legal team may help you assess the potential of your case and determine how much funding will be necessary. Litigation funding providers will evaluate the likelihood of success based on the facts of the case, and they may advance money to cover things like attorney fees, investigation costs, and expert testimony. This allows families to move forward with their claim without worrying about the financial strain that can often derail such cases.

The Benefits of Litigation Funding for Florida Families

For families in Florida dealing with nursing home abuse claims, litigation funding offers numerous benefits. The most significant advantage is that it removes financial obstacles and allows you to pursue justice for your loved one. When you secure the financial support you need, you can focus on building a strong case rather than worrying about how to pay for it.

Another benefit is that litigation funding can help ensure that your case is given the attention it deserves. Without the need to rush or settle due to financial limitations, you and your attorney can take the time necessary to fully investigate the situation and build a compelling case. You will be able to secure the evidence needed to prove that your loved one was the victim of abuse and work towards holding the responsible parties accountable.

Additionally, litigation funding can give you peace of mind. Many families delay pursuing legal action because they are unsure if they can afford the cost of litigation. With litigation funding, that concern is alleviated, allowing you to move forward confidently and focus on getting the justice your family deserves.
