Funding for Michigan plaintiffs and attorneys with settled cases
Post-Settled Case Funding for Plaintiffs.
Take advantage of our post-settlement funding services while you await settlement. Depending on how much compensation you are entitled to, we offer up to 50% of its value. We are always available to approve your application and provide you with prompt post-settlement funding for your case.
Post-Settled Case Financing for Law Firms.
Baker Street Funding’s settled case funding is not limited to plaintiffs alone; it is also available to attorneys. Attorneys working on contingency will only get paid for their services if they win the case. Even when the court grants settlement, there is usually a long-time gap between when the compensation is awarded and paid. Rather than letting your law firm suffer, law firm funding can help you pay for case expenses and more. Sometimes, attorneys may have a series of court cases simultaneously, and their finance gets overstretched. Legal funding can help law firms stand up against firms with deeper pockets. Reach out to us anytime, and a Baker Street Funding expert will guide you on the process.
Michigan roads and car accident rates
Michigan is one of the few state that allows u-turns on specific roads. Distracted drivers, drunk driving, over-speeding or excessive speeding, bad weather, and falling asleep at the wheel are major causes of car accidents in Michigan. Especially on these roads.
According to the Michigan government, major roads include:
- US-2 (Sault Ste. Marie area);
- Route 31;
- I-94 (from Detroit to Port Huron);
- Interstate 696;
- I-75 (Detroit metro area);
- Interstate 96 (from Detroit to Grand Rapids);
- US-41 (from L’Ansea Area).
With car accidents claiming at least 700 lives and causing over 70,000 injuries annually, it has become a thing of worry to residents of the Water Winter Wonderland state. The pain and financial stress that accident victims and their families undergo is tremendous.
Getting compensation for car accidents is a big feat to achieve, but proving that the accidents happened as a result of the defendant’s negligence makes such a case a bit complex. Like most lawsuits, car accident litigations could drag on for months and even years – and they can be expensive.
Victims of crimes, car accidents, and personal injury in Michigan find it hard to access cash – but that is a thing of the past because Baker Street Funding is here to assist you in your time of need. Both plaintiffs and attorneys can reach out to us for fast pre-settlement and post-settlement loans today.

Crime rates
Like every other state in the U.S, Michigan has its societal challenges, including safety and security. Common crimes in Michigan include robberies, carjacking, and shootings.
Time has always been a major factor to consider when filing your claim in court.
Statute of limitations
The statute of limitations spans between one (1) year and six (6) years – depending on the nature of the claim.In Michigan, crimes like arson, burglary, and assault have six years statute of limitations. What does this mean? It means that if you are a victim of burglary, arson, or assault, you have up to six years to present your case and sue whoever is responsible for damages. If this time elapses, the defense attorney can get your case dismissed as untimely.
While your attorney debates your case in court, bills will keep piling up – rents, utility bills, and legal fees.
At such times, the defense attorney will attempt to pressure you into settling for less and drop the case. Often, (personal injury) plaintiffs will fall for this trick and take meager settlements to offset bills.
