Truck Accident Claims in Texas The Role of Litigation Funding

Why Truck Accident Claims Are Different

When a car hits a truck, it’s rarely a fair fight. Trucks are much bigger and heavier, and they can cause serious damage even at slow speeds. But what makes these cases harder isn’t just the crash. It’s the layers of people involved. You may be up against the driver, the trucking company, their insurance, and maybe even the company that owns the load. That’s a lot of folks who don’t want to pay what’s fair. And they have lawyers.

These cases often take time to settle. Sometimes a year. Sometimes more. And while they delay, you still have rent, food, and doctor bills to pay. You might want to settle fast just to make the pain stop. But fast money is often far less than what you deserve.

What Is Litigation Funding and Why Does It Matter

Litigation funding is money you can use while your case is still going on. It’s not a loan in the usual sense. You don’t pay it back if you lose. It’s more like getting an advance on what you’re likely to win. This kind of help can be a lifeline when your back is against the wall.

For people with truck accident claims in Texas, litigation funding gives you room to breathe. It means you don’t have to take a lowball offer just because you’re out of options. It means you can give your lawyer time to fight for more. And it means your life doesn’t have to stay stuck just because your case is slow.

- 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.

Who Can Get Litigation Funding

Not everyone can get this kind of help. You usually need to have a lawyer already working on your case. The funding company will look at the facts and decide how strong your claim is. If they believe you’re likely to win or settle for a good amount, they may offer you money to use right now. It can cover bills, rent, car payments—whatever is pressing on you the most.

And remember, you don’t owe anything back if you lose. That’s the key difference from a loan. They take the risk because they believe in your case.

How Litigation Funding Changes the Game

When you’re no longer desperate, you can take your time. That’s what litigation funding gives you. Time. Time for your lawyer to gather more evidence. Time to find out how much care you’ll need. Time to negotiate the right way. And time means better settlements.

Insurance companies know when you’re under pressure. They count on it. But with litigation funding, that pressure lets up. You get to stand your ground. You don’t have to accept less just because you’re broke.

What to Watch Out For

Litigation funding can be a blessing, but like anything, it’s important to read the fine print. Some companies charge very high fees. Others aren’t clear about how much you’ll owe when your case settles. Always ask questions. Ask how much you’ll need to pay back if your case wins. Ask what happens if it drags on. Ask if your lawyer supports the deal.

You want a funding company that’s honest, fair, and upfront. And you want your lawyer involved every step of the way.

Why Texas Cases Need This Help

Texas has a lot of trucks. From the oil fields to the shipping hubs, 18-wheelers are part of daily life. And with that comes risk. When crashes happen, the people hurt most are often the ones in smaller cars. And many families don’t have savings to fall back on. They need help, and they need it soon. Litigation funding helps level the field. It gives regular folks a fighting chance against big trucking companies. And it helps families stay afloat while justice moves slowly.

What Happens Behind the Scenes in Truck Accident Lawsuits

Truck accident claims in Texas often move slower than other cases. That’s because more steps are involved. After the crash, your lawyer needs to gather reports, photos, video, and witness statements. They may need to bring in people who know about trucks—like experts who understand braking systems or safety checks. They’ll also review the driver’s record, the truck’s maintenance logs, and the company’s history.

The trucking company’s lawyers may try to delay things. They know time is on their side. The longer it takes, the more pressure you feel. But when you have litigation funding, that pressure lifts. You don’t have to rush. And when you don’t rush, your lawyer can build a stronger case.

How the Funding Process Works

If you’re thinking about getting help through litigation funding, the steps are simple. First, your lawyer sends your case details to a funding company like Fast Funds. Then the company reviews it. They don’t need every detail, just enough to see if the case has good chances.

If they decide to move forward, they offer you an amount. If you agree, you get the money. It usually comes fast—sometimes in just a day or two. Then you use it however you need. When your case settles, the funding amount and fees are taken out of the money you win. If you lose, you keep the money and owe nothing back.

What You Can Use the Money For

There are no limits on how you use the money. Some people use it to pay rent or mortgages. Others use it for groceries, medical bills, or to fix their car. Some use it just to make sure their family stays afloat until the case ends. The point is, it’s your money to use as you need. You don’t need to explain yourself. You just need to get your life back on track while your lawyer keeps working.
