Chemical fires are among the most catastrophic accidents a person can experience. They don’t only cause physical burns — they destroy lives, homes, and livelihoods. According to the Coalition to Prevent Chemical Disasters, in 2023, there were at least 270 hazardous chemical incidents in the U.S., which is nearly 22.5 times a month.

Whether it started at a chemical plant, job site, or from a defective product, the aftermath is devastating.

If you’re waiting for your settlement and struggling to manage bills or recovery costs, chemical fire pre-settlement funding can provide immediate financial relief. Baker Street Funding offers non-recourse cash advances that help you stay afloat while your attorney pursues full compensation.

Understanding Chemical Fire Injury Lawsuits

Chemical fires are not like ordinary fires, and happen when flammable, toxic, corrosive, or reactive materials ignite or interact under unsafe conditions. These incidents can occur anywhere — on industrial sites, at work, in transportation accidents, or even at home due to defective products.

From a legal perspective, most chemical fire cases fall under personal injury or product liability law. Common causes include:

  • Industrial and Plant Explosions: Refineries, warehouses, and factories handling flammable chemicals can explode when safety procedures or equipment maintenance fail.
  • Workplace Chemical Fires: Construction sites, laboratories, or manufacturing facilities often use hazardous substances. If protective measures or OSHA standards were ignored, injured workers may have a third-party claim.
  • Transportation Accidents with Hazardous Materials: Trucking or freight companies hauling chemical cargo can be liable when a crash or leak leads to a fire or explosion.
  • Defective Products: Household or commercial products — like aerosol sprays, cleaning agents, or lithium-ion batteries — can ignite or explode due to design flaws or manufacturing defects.

Victims of chemical fires often suffer third-degree burns, lung damage, and chemical poisoning. In severe cases, injuries require multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and lifelong care. Settlements in these cases can reach six or seven figures depending on the extent of injury, negligence, and long-term disability.

The Financial Strain After a Chemical Fire

Burn and chemical injury recovery is expensive — specialized surgeries, ongoing wound care, and long-term rehabilitation often exceed insurance limits. Add lost wages, temporary housing, and daily expenses, and the waiting game for a settlement becomes unbearable.

Pre-settlement funding bridges that gap. It gives you access to a portion of your expected settlement now, helping you cover essentials and concentrate on recovery instead of financial strain.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Works

Pre-settlement funding, sometimes called a “lawsuit loan,” isn’t a loan in the traditional sense. It’s a non-recourse advance on the expected settlement of your chemical fire lawsuit. You repay only if your case settles successfully. If you lose, you owe nothing back.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Apply Online or by Phone (888) 711-3599 – Share basic details about your case.
  2. Attorney Cooperation – We contact your lawyer for documentation about your claim.
  3. Case Evaluation – Our underwriters review the strength and value of your case withon 24-48 hours.
  4. Receive Funds Fast – Once approved, you can get your money the same day.

No credit checks, no income requirements, and no monthly payments. If your case doesn’t settle, you owe nothing back.

How to Qualify for a Hazardous Chemical Incident Lawsuit Pre-Settlement Loan

To qualify for chemical fire lawsuit loan, the following criteria must be met:

  • Legal Representation: You must be represented by a personal injury attorney.
  • Attorney Cooperation: Your lawyer is willing to share pertinent case documents and execute an agreement contingent upon approval of funding.
  • Active Lawsuit: An ongoing lawsuit seeking compensation for injuries sustained in a chemical fire is required.
  • Strong Claim: There must be a strong expectation that the settlement will be at least $50,000.
  • Insurance Coverage: The defendant must have insurance coverage with sufficient limits to cover a potential settlement. Higher insurance limits may result in greater funding availability.
  • Age and Residency: Applicants must be at least 18 years old and reside in a state where legal funding is permitted.

We do not require credit checks or employment verification. All of our pre-settlement funding is non-recourse, meaning repayment is only required if your case is successful.

How We Evaluate Your Chemical Fire Case

We know that recovering from a chemical fire injury is overwhelming, and the legal process can feel just as daunting. That’s why we take a thorough approach to evaluating your case, working hand-in-hand with your attorney to ensure no detail is overlooked.

Here’s how we assess your claim:

  • Understanding Your Injuries: We carefully review medical records to evaluate the depth of your burns, respiratory injuries, and toxicology results. These details help us understand the full impact of the chemical fire on your health and daily life.
  • Identifying Liability: Whether it’s industrial negligence, workplace safety failures, or defective consumer products, we dig into OSHA reports, safety violations, and evidence of hazardous chemicals to pinpoint who’s responsible.
  • Building the Bigger Picture: Beyond the immediate injuries, we consider how this incident has affected your ability to work, your long-term health, and your financial stability.
  • Adequate Policy Limits: We analyze the defendant’s insurance policy to ensure it can cover your potential settlement or judgment.
  • Existing Liens or Settlement Offers: We assess any prior offers or liens to understand how they might affect your final settlement.

Our evaluation process is simple but thorough. Working directly with your attorney, we review your case details, liability, and injury documentation to determine eligibility. Since the funding goes on a lien, attorney participation is required. After receiving the necessary information, our team typically finalizes your evaluation within 24–48 hours.
