Washington laws, settled cases, accidents, and legal funding.
Post-settlement funding in Washington (settled cases)
Not many plaintiffs are aware that they can apply for lawsuit loans even after their case has been settled — but now you do. The signing of the settlement agreement and getting payment or check usually don’t come as easily as you expect. It takes time too. While you await your award’s payment, the chances are that you may need money for personal or home expenses and emergencies.
We offer up to 50% of the settlement gross value as a non-recourse cash advance to help you cater to any such needs whenever they arise. Settlement loans for settled claims are not limited to plaintiffs alone. Attorneys can also benefit from them. Post-settlement loans for attorneys in Washington who work on contingency could also face financial setbacks because they only get paid if the plaintiff wins the case.
Even when they win the case and a settlement is accepted, attorneys won’t get their fees until the money is paid.
Post-settlement funding brings instant financial relief to attorneys seeking that capital post-settlement — our litigation loans can be used to pay employees, do adverts, expand their firm, etc.
Post-settlement funding could help attorneys have a steady cash flow and keep their law firms running successfully.
Statute of limitations
Like virtually every other state in the U.S, Washington also has time limits within which plaintiffs are expected to file their claims. If, by any chance, this time limit is exceeded, the plaintiff can no longer file their case and also don’t stand a chance of winning any compensation that may have been awarded. These time limits are called the Statute of Limitations, and they differ with different cases.
These time limits help to maintain the integrity of witness testimony and evidence. It also prevents the parties involved from threatening each other with lawsuits. Here are the statutes of limitations for different lawsuits in Washington.
- Injury to Person — 3 years
- Libel/slander — 2 years
- Fraud — 3 years
- Injury to Personal property — 3 years
- Trespass — 3 years
- Professional malpractice — 3 years
Other cases, including written contracts and collection of debts, are allotted six years; you have ten years to file judgments in Washington.
If you are wondering if there are exceptions, there are. However, they are only applicable in a few circumstances – depending on when the injury was discovered.
Also, keep in mind that there are special considerations for medical malpractice claims against governmental entities like public and district hospitals. Likewise, special requirements must be met before suing the federal government under the Federal Tort Claims Act. Before you proceed to initiate your litigation, you should get a good attorney and ensure that your case meets relevant criteria.
