Pre-Settlement Funding for VA Lawsuits (FTCA)

When you’re hurt because of medical negligence or malpractice at a VA hospital, the road to justice is long and often exhausting. Veterans and their families already carry enough burdens—mounting bills, lost income, and the stress of ongoing treatment shouldn’t add to the weight.

At Baker Street Funding, we provide non-recourse pre-settlement funding for VA lawsuits filed under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA), giving you financial support you need while your case moves through the legal system.

What Is an FTCA Lawsuit?

The Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) allows individuals to sue the United States government for negligence by federal employees—this includes care received at VA hospitals. If a VA doctor, nurse, or staff member caused injury due to medical malpractice, the FTCA gives you a path to compensation.

FTCA cases fall under federal law, not state court, which means they follow specific rules like filing an administrative claim with the Department of Veterans Affairs before you can file a lawsuit.

Fun fact 💡 Under the FTCA, you usually have two years from the date of injury to file your administrative claim. That deadline is strict, so timing is everything.

Why VA Lawsuits Take Time

FTCA claims are known for being complex and slow-moving. Before filing in court, you must go through an administrative review process with the VA. Even after that, if your claim is denied or underpaid, the lawsuit itself can drag on for years.

Meanwhile, medical bills pile up, income is lost, and the stress on you and your family builds. Insurance doesn’t always cover the full scope of injuries, especially future medical care.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps

This is where pre-settlement funding for VA lawsuits becomes a lifeline. At Baker Street Funding, we offer non-recourse cash advances against your potential settlement. That means:

• No win, no repayment. If your case doesn’t succeed, you owe us nothing.
• Immediate relief. Use the funds for medical bills, housing, or everyday living expenses.
• Stay in the fight. Don’t feel pressured to accept a lowball government settlement offer because of financial stress.

This isn’t a loan in the traditional sense—it’s an advance tied only to your future settlement. That’s what makes it safe and consumer-friendly.

Who Qualifies for FTCA VA Lawsuit Funding?

You don’t have to be a veteran to bring an FTCA claim involving a VA hospital. What matters is who provided the care and whether negligence occurred.

Here’s who may qualify:

• Veterans receiving treatment at a VA hospital or clinic
• Active-duty families if spouses or dependents were treated in a VA facility
• Civilian patients in limited situations, such as community care or specialized treatment programs offered through VA hospitals

In short, if a VA-employed doctor, nurse, or staff member provided negligent care that caused injury, you may have a valid FTCA claim—even if you’re not a veteran.

In addition, you need:

• A filed a personal injury lawsuit.
• An attorney working on a contingency fee.
• A strong case with clear fault and significant damages.

What Makes a Strong FTCA Case?

While every lawsuit is unique, certain factors often make VA malpractice cases stronger:

• Clear medical records showing negligence and harm
• Expert testimony linking the VA’s mistake to your injury
• Catastrophic or permanent damages requiring lifelong care
• Compliance with FTCA deadlines (the two-year claim filing window)
• Experienced attorneys handling the complex federal process

The stronger the evidence and the higher the damages, the better your chances of recovery—and the more likely your case is eligible for pre-settlement funding.
