When you go to a hospital, you trust that you or your loved one will be cared for—not left worse off. When that trust is broken through negligence, the fallout can be overwhelming: serious injury, long recovery, unexpected loss, and a stack of medical and household bills that don’t slow down while your lawsuit moves forward.

If you’re in the middle of a hospital negligence lawsuit, you may be waiting a long time for a settlement. In the meantime, you still have to live your life, pay your bills, and manage your recovery or grief. That’s where hospital negligence lawsuit funding can help.

At Baker Street Funding, we provide non-recourse pre-settlement funding, which means repayment comes only from your settlement or verdict. If there’s no recovery, you owe us nothing.

What Is Hospital Negligence?

Hospital negligence happens when the hospital, as an institution, fails to provide safe, reasonable care and that failure causes injury or death. It’s related to medical malpractice, but the focus is on hospital systems and policies, not just a single doctor’s mistake.

Examples of hospital negligence include:

  • Understaffing that leads to missed signals or delayed care.
  • Failure to monitor patients after surgery or during recovery.
  • Poor communication between departments or staff.
  • Inadequate training, supervision, or hiring practices.
  • Unsafe infection control practices leading to serious infections.
  • Failure to have or follow basic safety protocols.

In these cases, lawsuits are often brought against the hospital entity itself, not only individual providers.

How Baker Street Funding Helps Victims of Hospital Negligence

Hospital negligence lawsuits can drag on for months or even years—meanwhile, the costs don’t let up. Insurance companies know this and often use delay tactics or lowball settlement offers to get you to settle fast, counting on your bills to pile up. It’s real pressure when you’re left covering medical care, rent, utilities, and daily expenses after a system failure that wasn’t your fault.

At Baker Street Funding, we give you access to a portion of your potential settlement up front. That means you can keep up with your financial needs while your attorney continues to fight for a fair result. This is not a traditional loan—it’s non-recourse legal funding. You only pay it back if you win or settle your lawsuit, and repayment comes straight out of your settlement proceeds. No monthly payments. No credit checks. No out-of-pocket costs ever.

You stay in control—no more pressure to accept less than you deserve just to keep the roof over your head. We work directly with your attorney, keeping the process simple, confidential, and focused on your needs. Pre-settlement funding helps you get through the wait, puts you back in command of your financial situation, and lets you focus on what matters: your health and your case.

Common Hospital Negligence Lawsuits That May Qualify for Funds

While every case is different, here are some of the types of hospital negligence claims that may be eligible for pre-settlement funding:

  • Post-surgical neglect – failure to monitor vital signs or respond to complications.
  • Medication errors at the hospital level – incorrect dosing, wrong medication, or systemic pharmacy issues.
  • Falls and lack of supervision – high-risk patients left unattended, leading to serious injury.
  • Infections and sepsis – poor hygiene or infection-control practices causing severe complications.
  • Emergency room failures – delayed triage, missed red flags, or sending a patient home who should have been admitted.
  • Wrongful death due to hospital systems failures – multiple breakdowns in care leading to a preventable loss.

In many of these cases, the hospital carries significant insurance coverage, and the lawsuit may take time to resolve. Pre-settlement funding is there to help you manage life in the meantime.

How You Can Use Pre-Settlement Funding in Your Hospital Negligence Lawsuit

Hospital negligence cases are usually complex. They involve medical records, expert witnesses, and often a large, well-defended hospital or health system. That means your case may be strong—but it may also be slow.

While your attorney builds the case, you can use pre-settlement funding to:

  • Keep your home and family secure.
  • Continue necessary medical care or therapy.
  • Cover travel to specialists, appointments, or court.
  • Handle funeral or burial costs in wrongful death cases.
  • Reduce the pressure to “take whatever the insurance company offers” just to stop the financial bleeding.

Because the funding is non-recourse, you only repay from the settlement or judgment. If the case does not result in a recovery, you don’t pay the money back.

How We Evaluate Hospital Negligence Lawsuits

We know you’re not just a file. But to fund your case responsibly, we do need to clearly understand what happened and how strong your claim is. We work directly with your attorney and review:

Medical Evidence

  • Hospital records, charts, and nursing notes.
  • Timing of events, including admissions, surgeries, and responses to complications.
  • Expert reviews or opinions your attorney may already have.
  • Documentation of the injuries, complications, or death tied to the hospital’s actions or inaction.

Institutional Liability

  • Whether the claim is against the hospital entity, not just an individual doctor.
  • Allegations of systemic failures—like staffing issues, policy failures, or poor supervision.
  • Any internal incident reports or investigations, when available.

Damages and Case Value

  • Medical expenses and projected future care needs.
  • Loss of income or earning capacity.
  • Pain, suffering, and loss of quality of life.
  • In wrongful death cases, the impact on surviving family members.
  • Insurance coverage or the hospital’s ability to pay a settlement.

This underwriting review helps us decide if we can offer funding and how much makes sense without overburdening your future settlement.

Eligibility for Hospital Negligence Lawsuit Funding

You may qualify for hospital negligence lawsuit funding if:

  • You have an active hospital negligence or medical malpractice lawsuit.
  • You are represented by a personal injury attorney on a contingency-fee basis.
  • Your attorney is willing to share information and sign the funding documents.
  • The case involves clear hospital-level negligence that caused serious injury or death.
  • Your attorney believes your case has strong merit and meaningful settlement potential, typically $50,000 or more.
  • There is insurance or a hospital entity with the ability to pay a settlement.
  • You are 18 or older and live in a state where legal funding is available.

We don’t base approval on your credit, income, or job history. We look at your case, not your credit score.

FAQ: Hospital Negligence Lawsuit Funding

Is hospital negligence the same as medical malpractice?

Hospital negligence is a type of medical malpractice, but it focuses on the hospital’s systems and staff, not just one provider. Many cases involve both—doctor errors and hospital-level failures. We typically fund cases where the hospital itself is a named defendant or clearly involved.

Do you fund wrongful death cases involving hospital negligence?

Yes, if there is a qualifying wrongful death lawsuit or estate claim with an attorney and strong evidence of hospital negligence, the case may be eligible for funding.

Do I have to repay if my hospital negligence case loses?

No. Our funding is non-recourse. If your attorney doesn’t recover money through a settlement or verdict, you owe nothing back.

Can I apply if my case is still being investigated and not filed yet?

We generally need an active lawsuit and a retained attorney to consider funding. If you haven’t filed yet, the best next step is to speak with a medical malpractice or hospital negligence lawyer first.

How long does it take to get funds?

Once we have the necessary information from your attorney, many cases are reviewed and decided in about 24–48 hours. After approval and signed documents, funds can be sent shortly thereafter.

What can I use the money for?

You can use the funding for essential expenses—medical bills, housing, utilities, groceries, transportation, childcare, and similar costs. The money is meant to help you stay stable while your case continues.

Will this affect my relationship with my attorney?

No. We work with your lawyer to handle everything on the funding side. Your attorney stays in control of your legal strategy. Repayment is handled from the settlement at the end of the case.
