Bus accidents can result in severe injuries, costly medical bills, and significant emotional stress. If you are considering a lawsuit or have already filed one, it is important to understand how litigation funding can help ease some of the financial burdens while you focus on your recovery.

Understanding Bus Accident Lawsuits in Michigan

Bus accidents can be complicated due to various factors, including the involvement of public transportation companies, private bus operators, and often, multiple parties. Michigan law allows victims of bus accidents to file personal injury claims to seek compensation for their injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. However, these lawsuits can be complex and lengthy, often taking months or even years to reach a resolution.

In Michigan, the process of pursuing a bus accident lawsuit typically involves gathering evidence, such as accident reports, witness testimonies, and medical records, to prove fault and demonstrate the extent of your injuries. This is where the legal system can feel overwhelming. If you’re not familiar with the process, it can be hard to know where to start or what steps to take next. This is where legal professionals like those at our firm can make a difference. We are here to help guide you through each stage of the case.

How Litigation Funding Helps in Bus Accident Cases

One of the biggest challenges people face after being involved in a serious bus accident is the financial strain. Between medical expenses, rehabilitation costs, and the inability to work while recovering, the costs can quickly add up. Additionally, the time it takes to resolve a bus accident lawsuit can further delay financial relief. Litigation funding provides a solution to these financial hurdles.

- 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.

Litigation funding is a process that allows individuals to secure financial assistance while their legal case is ongoing. Essentially, it provides funds to cover immediate expenses in exchange for a portion of the settlement or judgment from the case. This can be a crucial lifeline for those who are struggling to make ends meet while waiting for the legal process to unfold.

In the context of bus accident lawsuits, litigation funding can help cover a wide range of expenses. These can include medical bills, transportation costs, legal fees, and even day-to-day living expenses. Without this assistance, many plaintiffs are forced to settle their cases for less than they deserve just to make ends meet. With litigation funding, you can focus on your recovery without the constant pressure of financial hardship.

How Does Litigation Funding Work

The process of securing litigation funding is straightforward. First, the funding company will evaluate your case to determine if it is a good candidate for funding. This evaluation typically includes reviewing the details of the accident, the severity of your injuries, and the likelihood of a successful outcome. If the funding company approves your case, they will provide you with an upfront payment, which you can use to cover your immediate expenses.

The great thing about litigation funding is that you only have to repay the funds if you win your case. If your case is unsuccessful, you are not required to repay the loan. This “no win, no fee” structure helps to ease the financial pressure on plaintiffs, allowing them to pursue their case without the fear of further financial loss.

It’s important to note that litigation funding is not a loan in the traditional sense. Instead, it is an advance on your future settlement or award. This distinction is crucial because it means you are not required to make monthly payments or deal with interest rates, as you would with a traditional loan.

The Benefits of Litigation Funding for Bus Accident Victims

For bus accident victims, the benefits of litigation funding are clear. First and foremost, it allows you to pursue your case without having to worry about the financial impact of the ongoing litigation. With litigation funding, you can afford to pay for medical treatment, cover your living expenses, and avoid settling your case too early out of financial desperation.

Litigation funding also provides you with the flexibility to hire the right legal representation for your case. In many situations, plaintiffs feel pressured to accept an inadequate settlement offer just to get money quickly. With funding in place, you can afford to be patient and wait for a fair settlement or judgment. This allows your attorney to fight for the full compensation you deserve.

Another benefit of litigation funding is that it can help you maintain your quality of life during the litigation process. Recovering from a bus accident can be physically, emotionally, and financially draining. Having access to funding ensures that you can focus on your health and well-being instead of worrying about how to pay for the essentials.

The Role of Your Attorney in Securing Litigation Funding

While litigation funding can significantly help with your financial challenges, it’s important to remember that it’s not a solution that works on its own. The role of an attorney is critical in securing the funding you need. Your attorney will help you understand whether litigation funding is right for your case and assist you in finding the right funding company.
