Why Litigation Funding is Essential for Georgia Slip and Fall Injury Plaintiffs

Why Litigation Funding is Essential for Georgia Slip and Fall Injury Plaintiffs

You didn’t expect to fall. One minute, you were shopping, walking through a parking lot, or heading into work. The next, you’re hurt. Maybe you can’t walk without pain. Maybe you lost time from work. Maybe medical bills are stacking up, and you’re not sure how you’re going to keep up. In Georgia, when you fall on someone else’s property because they didn’t fix a danger, you have the right to seek help through the courts. That’s what a slip and fall lawsuit is for. But here’s what most people don’t realize. Just because the law is on your side doesn’t mean the path is easy. It takes time. It takes patience. And it takes money—money most folks don’t have sitting around.

Lawsuits Take Time But Bills Don’t Wait

When you file a lawsuit after a fall, you’re not getting money the next day. Insurance companies don’t rush to help. They fight to pay less. They wait. They make you wait. That’s their strategy. They know most people don’t have the money to sit around for months—or even years—without settling. So they use time as a weapon. And what happens? Many people settle early, even for far less than they deserve. Not because they want to, but because they have no choice. They’re trying to keep the lights on, keep groceries in the house, and avoid losing everything while they wait for justice.

This Is Where Litigation Funding Comes In

Litigation funding gives you some breathing room. It’s not a loan in the way most people think. You don’t make monthly payments. You don’t pay it back unless you win your case. That’s what makes it different. It’s money you use now to pay for everyday life while your case moves forward. Things like rent, utilities, food, gas to get to the doctor—it helps with all of it. And the best part? It doesn’t affect your case. Your lawyer still fights for the full amount you deserve. Litigation funding doesn’t come from your attorney. It comes from a third party who believes in your case, just like you do.

You Shouldn’t Have to Choose Between Fairness and Survival

Think about this. Would you tell someone who just got hurt at work to stop getting medical help because it costs too much? Of course not. Then why should someone who slipped and fell because a business didn’t take care of their property have to walk away from a case just to keep from going broke? It’s not fair. And that’s why litigation funding matters so much. It levels the playing field. It lets regular people stand their ground against big insurance companies. It buys time. And in this process, time is what makes the difference between a rushed settlement and real justice.

People All Across Georgia Are Using It

In cities like Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, and Columbus, more and more injured folks are learning about this option. Maybe they fell in a grocery store. Maybe it was a broken step at a hotel. Maybe a slick floor in a gas station. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that the property owner didn’t fix the problem—and that failure caused real harm. Litigation funding gives these folks a way to hold on through the legal fight. It gives them a chance to pay the bills while their lawyer works the case. And in Georgia courts, that time can mean everything.

- 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.
R.J.F.

 

Insurance Companies Count on You Giving Up

Let’s be honest. Insurance companies aren’t in the business of doing the right thing quickly. They’re in the business of saving money. That means when they see a slip and fall claim come in, they don’t rush to pay. They push back. They delay. They look for reasons to say no. And the longer they drag it out, the more they hope you’ll break. They’re betting that you’ll get tired, worried, and desperate enough to take whatever they offer, even if it doesn’t begin to cover your pain, your lost wages, or your medical bills.

They know how this works. They know if you can’t afford your bills, you might cave. They’ve seen it before. But when you have litigation funding, you don’t have to play their game. You have options. And when you have options, you have power.

Your Story Matters More Than Their Delay Tactics

Too many times, people who are hurt start to doubt their own story. They think, maybe the fall was partly my fault. Or maybe the insurance adjuster is right and the injury isn’t that serious. That’s what long waits and legal stress can do—they wear you down. But if you slipped and fell because someone didn’t fix something dangerous on their property, you’re not at fault. And your injury is serious, especially if it’s changed how you work, how you move, or how you live day to day.

Litigation funding helps remind you of that. It tells you, your case matters. Your story matters. And it’s worth fighting for the outcome that truly reflects the damage you’ve been through.

A Bridge to Justice, Not a Shortcut

This funding isn’t a handout, and it’s not a shortcut to get rich. It’s a bridge. A bridge that takes you from today’s struggle to tomorrow’s fairness. Maybe your injury kept you from working. Maybe your savings are gone. Maybe your credit cards are maxed out just trying to cover co-pays or physical therapy. You don’t have to keep falling deeper into debt while the legal process unfolds.

With litigation funding, you can press pause on financial panic. You can wait for your lawyer to do their job. And when a fair offer comes in, you’ll be able to say yes—or no—without feeling trapped by money stress.
