Fast Funds, Inc. understands that personal injury cases can extend far longer than anticipated, leaving plaintiffs facing mounting bills and financial uncertainty. Extended timelines often occur due to medical treatment requirements, attorney scheduling, insurance negotiations, and court delays. Summer months can worsen these delays as courts may operate on lighter schedules, jurors are harder to secure, and opposing counsel may slow proceedings. Litigation funding provides a practical solution, giving plaintiffs the financial stability to cover daily expenses, medical bills, and legal costs while their cases progress, allowing them to focus on recovery without compromising their quality of life.

Why Personal Injury Cases Extend Into Summer

Personal injury claims rarely follow a predictable timeline. From the moment an accident occurs to the final resolution, a case can stretch into months or even years. Delays often occur due to the complexity of medical evaluations, the gathering of evidence, and the need for expert testimony. During the summer, courts frequently operate with reduced schedules, making hearings and trials more difficult to schedule. Jury availability can also decrease, prolonging the trial phase. Plaintiffs may experience additional setbacks when insurance adjusters negotiate slowly, request further documentation, or dispute claims. While the season itself does not directly cause delays, summer’s scheduling nuances can contribute to extended case timelines.

Recognizing the Financial Strain

Extended case timelines can create substantial financial burdens for plaintiffs. Medical expenses, ongoing rehabilitation costs, rent or mortgage payments, and everyday living expenses do not pause because a case is delayed. Even with partial insurance coverage, patients may face co-pays and deductibles that accumulate rapidly. Plaintiffs may also need to cover transportation costs for medical appointments, therapy sessions, or legal consultations. When financial stress mounts, it can affect decision-making, prevent full recovery, and even impact the ability to maintain legal representation effectively. Without access to funding solutions, plaintiffs risk financial instability while waiting for compensation.

Litigation Funding Options to Consider

Litigation funding, also known as pre-settlement funding or lawsuit cash advances, offers a solution for plaintiffs dealing with extended timelines. Fast Funds provides options tailored to these needs.

- 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.

Pre-Settlement Advances

Pre-settlement advances provide plaintiffs with funds upfront, based on the expected settlement. These funds are typically non-recourse, meaning repayment is only required if the case is successful. This type of funding allows plaintiffs to cover medical bills, rent, utilities, or other pressing expenses without accruing additional debt. By relieving immediate financial pressure, pre-settlement advances enable plaintiffs to focus on recovery and legal strategy.

Case Cost Funding

Certain funding solutions are designed to pay legal expenses directly, such as attorney fees, court filing costs, or expert witness fees. This ensures plaintiffs can pursue their cases effectively without being limited by financial constraints. Covering legal costs upfront helps maintain momentum in the case, reducing the likelihood of delays caused by funding shortages.

Multiple Advances

Some funding companies offer multiple draws throughout the course of a case, allowing plaintiffs to access additional funds as needed. This flexible approach aligns with ongoing medical or legal costs, ensuring continued financial support without waiting for a single lump sum.
