Wrongful death lawsuit financing

Losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult experience, and pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit can add to the emotional and financial burden. You’re likely dealing with a mix of emotions right now—grief, anger, and perhaps even financial uncertainty. While it may not be within your power to reverse the hands of time and restore the presence of that particular person, you can pay tribute to your cherished one’s memory by seeking retribution.

At Baker Street Funding, we understand the delicate nature of your situation and the financial strain that often accompanies these tragic circumstances. Our approach is centered on compassion and transparency.

Although no amount of money can ever make up for the loss of your loved one, our pre-settlement funding for wrongful death lawsuits can provide you with a means to handle financial pressures and give you breathing space to grieve in peace and seek justice.

What Is Pre-Settlement Funding for Wrongful Death Lawsuits?

Pre-settlement funding for wrongful death lawsuits provides financial support to families pursuing legal action after the loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct. This type of funding helps ease financial stress by offering a cash advance based on the potential settlement of the lawsuit.

  • Financial Assistance without Recourse. Unlike traditional loans, pre-settlement funding for wrongful death lawsuits is non-recourse in nature. The loan is contingent upon your future settlement and you won’t be held liable for repayment if you lose the case.
  • Empowering and Supportive. Lawsuit funding provides the means to persist in your legal battle by alleviating the financial struggle that can otherwise compel you to settle for less.
  • No Impact on Credit. Since legal funding is tied to your expected lawsuit settlement, it doesn’t affect your credit score. That means that your financial past doesn’t dictate your eligibility for this type of funding.
  • Immediate Access to Funds. The loss of a primary household income due to a tragic wrongful death can be severely detrimental, and the lawsuit process can take months or even years. Legal funding is quick, and provides you with the financing you need almost immediately.

How You Can Use Legal Funding for Wrongful Death Litigation

Lawsuit funding can help cover essential expenses, such as:

  1. Funeral and Burial Costs. These immediate expenses can be substantial and are often a significant burden on grieving families.
  2. Outstanding Medical Bills. Any medical expenses incurred before your loved one passed away, including hospital stays, surgeries, or emergency care.
  3. Grief Counseling and Therapy. Funds can be used to pay for mental health services to help family members cope with the emotional trauma and loss.
  4. Loss of Income Support. This could be very important if the deceased person was the primary breadwinner.
  5. Living Expenses. Everyday living costs such as rent or mortgage payments, utility bills, groceries, and other household expenses to maintain the family’s standard of living.
  6. Estate Administration Costs. Cover fees associated with administering the deceased’s estate, including probate court fees, executor fees, and other related expenses.
  7. Special Commemorative Events. Funding for memorial services or commemorative events that help family and friends honor the memory of their loved one.
  8. Relocation Expenses. If you or your family needs to move due to economic hardships or to be closer to other relatives for support, the lawsuit loan can cover moving costs and related expenses.
  9. Pet Care. You can also cover expenses for pet care if the person you lost was responsible for pets, including veterinary bills, food, and boarding.
  10. Bereavement Travel. You may use the funds to pay for travel expenses for family members to attend grief support groups, or to visit places of significance to the one you lost.
  11. Home Maintenance and Repairs. You can manage any immediate home maintenance needs or repairs that the person you lost may have managed in the past.

Are You Eligible?

If you find yourself in need of some financial help during wrongful death litigation, you may be wondering if you qualify for pre-settlement funding. Here’s what you need to know:

Valid Wrongful Death Case.

Firstly, you must have a valid wrongful death claim. This means that you genuinely believe a loved one’s passing was due to the negligence or misconduct of another party and are taking legal action against the responsible party.

Attorney Representation.

Having an experienced attorney who specializes in wrongful death lawsuits is absolutely necessary. Your lawyer will work tirelessly to build a strong case on your behalf, gathering evidence, interviewing witnesses, and negotiating with the other party’s insurance. Legal representation demonstrates your commitment and determination to seek reparation and increases the chances of a favorable outcome.

Strong Case Evidence.

To qualify for wrongful death pre-settlement funding, your case needs to have solid proof to back up your claim. These might include concrete evidence of negligence, causation, and the damages to demonstrate the validity and seriousness of your claim, making it more likely to succeed.

Coroner’s Report or Death Certificate.

You’ll need an official document, like a coroner’s report or death certificate to confirm the cause and circumstances of the death.

Expert Report (if applicable).

In some instances, an expert report may be necessary. Whether it is a medical expert’s opinion on the cause of death or a specialist’s analysis of the defendant’s negligence, this expert testimony contributes to the credibility and strength of your case.

Insurance Information.

You’ll also need details about the insurance policies of both the defendant and the victim. This helps assess the potential value of your claim and the likelihood of a successful settlement.

FAQ

Do You Provide Funding for Settled Wrongful Death Claims?

Yes. Whether your wrongful death case is still in progress or already resolved, we provide pre-settlement and post-settlement lawsuit advances to assist you during the times you need it the most.

How Much Money Can I Borrow?

Great question! It all depends on your case. You can get up to 10% of the potential settlement value if your case is still ongoing. If it’s already settled, you can borrow up to 30%. So, for instance, if you’re waiting on a $1,000,000 payout from a settled claim, you could get up to $300,000 in advance. Or, if your current pre-settlement value is $80,000, you might be eligible for up to $8,000. It’s all about your case’s value.

What Happens If I Lose My Case?

Lose your case? No worries. What we offer isn’t a traditional loan. It’s a non-recourse cash advance designed to support you during and after your wrongful death lawsuit. And here’s the best part: if you don’t win, you don’t owe us a dime. That’s right, our lawsuit loans are non-recourse, meaning you only pay us if you win. Otherwise, we take the loss. It’s our way of standing by you, no matter what.
