If you or a loved one has been affected by nursing home abuse in Georgia, you are likely feeling overwhelmed, confused, and unsure of where to turn for help. These emotions are entirely understandable as you try to navigate the complexities of legal action. At this point, you may also be wondering about the financial burden that a legal case might bring. The good news is that you don’t have to face this challenge alone, and there is a solution available to you. Litigation funding can provide the financial support you need to pursue justice without worrying about the cost of your case.

Understanding Nursing Home Abuse in Georgia

Nursing home abuse is a serious issue that affects thousands of individuals each year in Georgia and across the United States. It can take many forms, including physical abuse, emotional abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. The elderly, particularly those who are vulnerable due to health conditions, are at high risk of suffering from abuse in nursing homes or assisted living facilities. If you have discovered that a loved one has been the victim of such abuse, you may feel a mix of anger, frustration, and helplessness. These emotions are natural, but it’s important to understand that there are legal options available to seek justice.

The Legal Process Can Be Intimidating

Taking legal action against a nursing home or facility responsible for abuse can be a daunting process. The legal system is often complex, and navigating through it can seem overwhelming, especially when you are already dealing with the emotional stress of a loved one being harmed. Furthermore, the expenses related to filing a lawsuit and gathering the necessary evidence may seem out of reach for many individuals. In these situations, litigation funding can play a crucial role in providing the financial support needed to move forward with a case.

What is Litigation Funding?

Litigation funding, also known as lawsuit funding, is a financial option that helps plaintiffs, such as victims of nursing home abuse, cover the costs of pursuing legal action. In a typical litigation funding arrangement, a third-party company provides a cash advance to cover the costs of a lawsuit. This can include attorney fees, court costs, expert witness fees, and other related expenses. In return, the third-party company is repaid from any settlement or judgment awarded in the case. The key advantage of litigation funding is that it provides immediate financial relief, allowing the victim and their family to focus on seeking justice without the added burden of financial concerns.

- 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.

Why is Litigation Funding Important for Nursing Home Abuse Victims?

For victims of nursing home abuse, seeking justice can be a long and challenging road. Often, victims and their families are already dealing with the emotional toll of the abuse, along with the costs of medical treatments and other expenses related to the incident. The financial pressure can make it difficult to pursue a case, especially when faced with mounting legal fees and the uncertainty of how long the legal process may take.

Litigation funding offers a lifeline by providing the necessary resources to move forward with the case. It allows you to hire experienced attorneys, gather the necessary evidence, and ensure that your case is presented in the best possible light. Without this financial support, many victims of nursing home abuse might be forced to abandon their case, leaving them without the justice they deserve. With litigation funding, you can proceed with confidence, knowing that the financial aspects of your case are taken care of.

The Process of Securing Litigation Funding

If you are considering litigation funding for your nursing home abuse case, it’s important to understand how the process works. First, you will need to speak with your attorney, who will evaluate the strength of your case. Your attorney can then help you connect with a litigation funding company. The funding company will assess the details of your case, including the evidence, the likelihood of success, and the potential settlement amount. Based on this evaluation, the company will offer a cash advance to help cover your legal expenses.

One of the key benefits of litigation funding is that it is non-recourse. This means that if you do not win your case or receive a settlement, you do not have to repay the funding. This is an important factor, as it reduces the financial risk for victims and their families. The funding company only receives repayment if your case is successful.

How Litigation Funding Helps You Focus on Your Case

With litigation funding, victims of nursing home abuse can focus on what truly matters: securing justice for their loved ones. When financial concerns are taken off the table, you can allow your attorney to handle the legal complexities of the case while you focus on supporting your loved one’s recovery and well-being.

In many cases, victims and their families experience a sense of relief knowing that the financial aspects of the lawsuit are taken care of. This peace of mind can make it easier to navigate the emotional challenges that come with pursuing a case against a nursing home. It also helps ensure that the lawsuit can proceed without unnecessary delays, as the financial resources are available to cover all of the costs associated with the legal process.

Choosing the Right Attorney for Your Case

While litigation funding can provide vital financial support, it is equally important to have the right attorney on your side. Your attorney plays a crucial role in helping you understand the legal process, negotiating on your behalf, and ultimately fighting for justice. In nursing home abuse cases, it is essential to choose an attorney who has experience in handling such cases and who understands the unique challenges that victims face.

The Impact of Litigation Funding on Case Outcomes

As a result, victims are more likely to receive a favorable outcome in their case, whether through a settlement or a court judgment.

Additionally, litigation funding helps level the playing field when dealing with large nursing home chains and their legal teams. These organizations often have extensive resources to fight claims, but litigation funding provides the financial means to compete with them effectively. With the right funding and legal representation, you can ensure that your case is given the attention it deserves.
