Litigation Funding Fills a Need Caused by Settlement Delays


Are you a personal injury victim anxiously waiting for your case to settle, but need a cash to pay medical bills and basic living expenses? Financial needs and pressure can drive plaintiffs and attorneys to settle for less than they deserve. Ideally, you would be able to turn to credit cards or a bank loan. The problem with these options is that you are required to make monthly payments and even if your lawsuit is unsuccessful, you are still required to pay back your debt. You may be able to turn to family or friends, but what happens to the relationship if your case is lost and you can’t repay the money borrowed? One other alternative is litigation funding.
Litigation funding is a financial transaction where a plaintiff sells a portion of the future proceeds of his/her lawsuit in exchange for immediate cash. While a lawsuit cash advance can be a very valuable resource to someone who can’t get the money they need, it is more costly than other means and should only be used as a last resort.
Here are a few advantages of litigation funding:
  • Approvals based on strength of case only
  • No need for a credit check
  • No need for employment verification
  • No collateral required
  • No monthly payments; the cash advance is repaid from the proceeds of the case
  • Approvals typically within 24 – 48 hours
  • Money sent by wire transfer or overnight mail within 24 – 4 hours of approval
  • No risk. If your case is unsuccessful, you will never be required to pay us back
Don’t walk away from your case with anything less than the best settlement amount, and don’t spend months, or even years waiting for the money that you are entitled to for your pain and suffering. When you need litigation funding to meet financial obligations, Lawsuit Financial is here to help. Case we fund include, but are not limited to:

Three Fatalities in Key West Offshore Powerboat Races


The first fatal accident happened on November 8 at the Key West World Championship races has raised questions about how sturdy the cockpit capsules are that protect the racers. The capsule may have failed from either a substandard canopy or a substandard job of attaching and reinforcing it. Although this accident is still under investigation, families of the victims may wish to consult an experienced attorney to determine if they can receive compensation for damages.

On November 11, another racer was critically injured when a 38-foot catamaran rolled over twice during a turn in the final lap of the race. Medical examiners said the cause of death was from drowning, not injuries resulting from the accident.  This victim’s family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming emergency crews with Super Boat International (SBI) were negligent and didn't respond in time.

The lawsuit claims that it took three and a half minutes for the trained divers to rescue him, but it was too late.  Rescue boats are always nearby in case of an accident.  Their job is to be the first responders and a rescue helicopter is the second responder.  In this case, the rescue boat did not respond causing the delayed rescue by the helicopter team.  Michael Allweiss, director of the American Power Boat Association and the plaintiff’s attorney, said that the incompetence and lack of professional training by the rescue boat divers caused the man to drown.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a boat racing accident, you may have the right to compensation for your injuries or loss. Filing a lawsuit will depend on a number of factors; it is important to contact an attorney who specializes in these types of cases.

Often times, a boat racing accident lawsuit is difficult to prove and takes years to settle.  These cases will need to take into account the negligence of the defendant - failing to adhere to safety guidelines, failure to provide adequate medical care after an injury, or failure to correct an unsafe working condition.

Lawsuit funding can give plaintiffs the money they need now to cover immediate bills and expenses.  There are no upfront payments, no credit checks, no employment requirements, no monthly payments, and no repayment if you lose your case; litigation funding is 100% RISK-FREE for plaintiffs. You only repay the advance if, and when, you win your case. To find out if your boat accident lawsuit qualifies for lawsuit funding, call Lawsuit Financial or apply online.
