Pre-settlement funding offers a solution, providing immediate financial support so victims can focus on recovery while their attorneys fight for fair compensation. This article explains how pre-settlement funding works for dog bite and animal attack cases, and how Instabridge helps plaintiffs through the process.
The Impact of Dog Bites and Animal Attacks
Animal attack injuries can range from minor wounds to life-altering trauma. Common consequences include:
Deep lacerations and puncture wounds
Infections or nerve damage
Scarring and disfigurement
Emotional trauma such as anxiety or PTSD
Lost wages during recovery
In severe cases, long-term medical care, cosmetic surgery, or counseling may be required—all of which add to the financial strain.
Why Dog Bite Cases Take Time to Resolve
Although many dog bite cases involve clear liability, insurers often challenge claims to limit payouts. Common tactics include:
Arguing the victim provoked the animal
Disputing the severity of injuries
Delaying settlement negotiations to pressure plaintiffs
When damages include scarring, long-term treatment, or psychological harm, these cases often require expert testimony and thorough documentation—slowing down the process even further.
How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps Victims
Pre-settlement funding provides a non-recourse cash advance based on the projected value of your case. This means:
You receive money upfront to cover expenses
You repay only if you win or settle
If your case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing
Funding can be used for:
Medical bills and ongoing treatment
Rent, mortgage, or utilities
Everyday expenses such as groceries or childcare
Counseling or therapy costs
Benefits of Pre-Settlement Funding in Animal Attack Cases
Financial Stability: Cover essential bills while waiting for settlement.
Access to Care: Pay for necessary medical or psychological treatment.
Negotiation Leverage: Avoid settling early for less than your case is worth.
Peace of Mind: Focus on healing instead of financial stress.
