Suffering a severe burn injury changes everything—your routines, your sense of security, and your finances. More than 450,000 people in the U.S. are treated for serious burns each year, and the journey to recovery can be long and unpredictable. Between extended hospital stays, ongoing treatments, and the emotional toll, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed—especially when bills keep coming, even while you wait for your lawsuit to settle.

That’s why Baker Street Funding is here. Pre-settlement funding for burn injury lawsuits provides the financial support you need right now. With Baker Street Funding, you can access a non-recourse cash advance to cover your essential expenses, so you can concentrate on rest and healing while your attorney fights for justice.

Understanding Burn Injury Lawsuits

Most serious burn injuries are the result of someone’s negligence—whether it’s a landlord ignoring unsafe wiring, an employer skipping safety steps, or a defective product catching fire. These cases typically fall under personal injury or product liability laws.

Common causes of burn injuries include:

  • Residential or apartment fires from faulty wiring or poor construction
  • Workplace explosions in factories or construction zones
  • Vehicle fires due to defective parts or crashes
  • Faulty consumer products like e-bikes or lithium-ion batteries
  • Gas leaks and chemical fires causing extensive damage

Burns can range from first- to third-degree, each with increasing severity. Moderate to catastrophic burns can affect your entire body and often result in serious, costly complications. The American Burn Association reports that over 40,000 Americans are hospitalized each year for serious burns—many needing multiple surgeries and long-term care.

Besides the obvious, like permanent scarring, nerve damage, and muscle or tendon injuries, you could also face harm to your bones, lungs, and even your vision. These injuries require a team of experts, including surgeons, wound care and pain specialists, therapists, and social workers to support recovery, emotional trauma and adjustment.

Expenses can include medications, blood transfusions, wound care, and pressure bandages. A stay in a burn treatment center can add even more costs.

Because of the lasting suffering and high cost of treatment, victims involved in these cases often obtain significant settlements. Still, even strong claims can take many months or even years to resolve.

The Financial Strain of Burn Recovery

Burn victims are burdened with overwhelming medical costs: emergency care, graft procedures, rehabilitation, and ongoing pain management. Meanwhile, many can’t work and must cover rent, utilities, and family needs while waiting for a settlement.

Insurance companies know this and often drag their feet or offer less than you need, hoping you’ll give in early. Pre-settlement funding helps you avoid that trap. It gives you access to a portion of your expected settlement now, providing financial relief while your attorney continues the legal fight.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Works

Pre-settlement funding isn’t a typical loan — it’s a non-recourse advance against the pending settlement of your fire, explosion or burn injury lawsuit. That means:

  • You don’t make monthly payments.
  • You only repay if you win or settle your case.
  • If you lose, you owe nothing back.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Apply Online or by Phone (888) 711-3599 – Tell us about your case.
  2. Attorney Cooperation – We contact your lawyer for the required documentation.
  3. Case Evaluation – Our team reviews the liability, injuries, and expected recovery.
  4. Quick Approval – Once approved, funds are wired directly to you within 24–48 hours.

We’ll never ask for credit checks or employment verification. Our funding process is straightforward and transparent, based on your case, not your financial history.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Supports Your Burn Injury Case

Severe burns can have long-term effects, and your funding can also help you prepare for what’s ahead, such as:

Medical Care and Recovery

  • Wound care supplies like dressings, ointments, and graft materials.
  • Follow-up procedures such as skin grafts, reconstructive surgeries, or scar revisions.
  • Compression garments to manage swelling and improve healing.
  • Pain management treatments, including medications or alternative therapies.

Daily Living Expenses

Burn injuries often make it difficult to work, leading to a loss of income. Pre-settlement funding helps you stay on top of:

  • Rent or mortgage payments to keep your home secure.
  • Utility bills, groceries, and other household essentials.
  • Childcare or family support during your recovery.

Transportation and Future Planning

  • Transportation costs, including gas, rideshares, or public transit.
  • Vehicle modifications to accommodate mobility challenges.
  • Vocational training if you need to transition to a new career.

How to Qualify for a Burn Injury Lawsuit Pre-Settlement Loan

Baker Street Funding looks at the strength of your claim and the likelihood of recovery – not your credit or income. You can qualify if:

  • You’ve hired an attorney. Your lawyer should be working on a contingency basis, meaning he/she only gets paid if you win your case.
  • Your lawyer is on board. Your attorney needs to work with us, share some key documents, and sign our legal funding agreement after you’re approved.
  • You have a strong lawsuit. Your burn injury case needs to show evidence that someone else’s negligence caused your burn injury.
  • Your case has a solid value. We typically look for cases valued at $50,000 or more, which your medical and legal records will help confirm.
  • The other partys insurance. The defendant should have insurance or other assets to cover a settlement.
  • You’re over 18 and live in a state where we offer funding.

And remember, our funding is non-recourse. That means if you don’t win your case, you owe us nothing. It’s our promise to you.

How Baker Street Funding Evaluates Your Burn Injury Lawsuit

At Baker Street Funding, we understand how devastating burn injuries can be. That’s why we carefully review every aspect of your case to help you get the funding you need.

Here’s what we examine:

  • Burn Severity and Medical Care: We review the extent of your injuries, including second- and third-degree burns, skin grafts, surgical procedures, and infection risks. ICU or burn-unit records help us understand the level of care you’ve received.
  • Liability Evidence: Whether your injury was caused by a product defect, unsafe property conditions, electrical failure, or workplace negligence, we work with your attorney to identify clear evidence of responsibility.
  • Long-Term Impact: We consider the lasting effects of your injury, such as scarring, nerve damage, or permanent disability, to ensure your case value reflects the true extent of your suffering and future needs.

Baker Street Funding provides you with the cash you need to focus on recovery while your legal team fights for the compensation you deserve.
