Facing the aftermath of a faulty medical device, such as Essure, a once-popular form of permanent birth control, has unfortunately led to health and financial complications for many women, resulting in lawsuits. However, Essure victims often don’t have the deep pockets that large corporations like Bayer Pharmaceuticals possess, making the litigation process incredibly difficult. The financial burden of medical expenses, and lost wages can quickly make you feel powerless and unable to keep pursuing justice.

At Baker Street Legal Funding, we have a strong understanding of the profound emotional struggles that women impacted by Essure complications experience, including chronic pain, emotional trauma, the heartbreak from fertility complications, and strained relationships and marriages. Ongoing health issues and uncertainty about your future only lead to chronic depression, and the financial burden of medical treatments and legal battles might be leaving you feeling helpless.

If you’re involved in an Essure mass tort litigation, pre-settlement funding from Baker Street Funding can provide you with lawsuit financial assistance upfront while your case is still pending. Our commitment is to offer compassionate financial support, so that you can focus on healing, rebuilding your life, and if desired, pursuing alternative paths to motherhood—all while pursuing justice.

And remember, you don’t have to repay Baker Street Funding if you don’t win your Essure lawsuit.

The Essure Device and its History

Imagine trusting a medical device only to have it turn your life upside down. That’s the story of many women and the Essure implant, leading to a battlefield in courtrooms: the Essure mass tort lawsuits.

Now, let’s take a step back to look at the Essure device itself. Essure is a permanent birth control device developed by Bayer. In 2002, Essure represented cutting-edge technology that didn’t require surgery. The idea was revolutionary — a device that could offer assurance in family planning, which made it through the FDA approval process and was widely used.

Fast-forward to over a decade later, and this promise took a drastic turn when thousands of women reported severe pain, complications like perforated organs, and other serious health effects linked to Essure. This led them to seek legal action against Bayer AG, the pharma giant behind Essure. Bayer AG faced over 39,000 lawsuits.

By 2018, Bayer announced that they would cease sales of Essure in the United States. In 2020, 90% of the lawsuits culminated in settlements.

Pre-Settlement Funding for Essure Birth Control Lawsuits

As you seek justice through lengthy Essure proceedings, financial stability often crumbles before your eyes. Many women who suffer from complications due to this faulty product continue to find themselves facing mounting medical bills, lost wages from being unable to work, and other financial hardships. The need for ongoing medical care, surgeries, and treatments can quickly drain your savings and put a strain on your finances. Thankfully, Essure pre-settlement funding can provide much-needed financial relief.

What is Pre-Settlement Funding?

Pre-settlement funding, also known as litigation funding, or a lawsuit loan, are non-recourse loans. What does that mean for you? Simply put, if you don’t win your case or receive a settlement, you aren’t obligated to repay the loan amount.

Pre-settlement loans are especially helpful when dealing with the financial burden of Essure-related health issues. They’re designed to help you cover immediate expenses like:

Medical bills
Rent
Mortgage payments
Childcare
Household help
Family counseling
Fertility treatments
Hormone replacement therapy
Mental health therapies such as CBT, DBT, or EMDR
Other important costs.

Furthermore, unlike traditional loans, lawsuit loans are accessible without the need for a credit check. The approval is based on the strength of your case, not your financial history.

How to Apply for Essure Funding

Here’s a step-by-step overview of the Essure lawsuit funding process:

Application Process: Start by filling out an online form or giving us a quick call at (888) 711-3599. Our team will then contact you and your attorney to start the process. Your lawyer must cooperate and provide relevant case documents; otherwise, the funding process can’t proceed.
Case Evaluation: Our team of underwriters will review your Essure case to assess its merits and potential settlement value. This evaluation examines the nature and extent of the injuries you’ve sustained from the permanent birth control device.
Agreement: If your case is approved, we’ll make you an offer and draft a legal funding agreement. This agreement needs to be signed by both you and your attorney.
Quick Access to Funds: Upon completion of the agreement, we’ll disburse the advance directly to your bank account or via check. This usually takes 2 – 24 hours.
Repayment: If you win your case, the repayment (including loan costs) is made directly from your Essure settlement by your attorney. This relieves you of the responsibility of making monthly payments using personal funds.

To qualify for legal funding, you need the following:

Respected and Cooperative Personal Injury Attorney
You Must Live in a Fundable State
No History of Fraudulent Claims.

Start Your Journey to Financial Relief

Constant pelvic pain that just won’t quit. Menstrual irregularities that throw life out of whack. Heavy bleeding that isn’t just inconvenient — it’s downright alarming. Ectopic pregnancies, which aren’t only life-threatening but can also be emotionally draining. Unintended pregnancies can happen even with birth control, but with Essure, some cases ended in baby fatalities. It’s a heartbreaking struggle, to say the very least. These severe side effects and health complications have sadly become a part of life for many who trusted Essure.
