Defective consumer products injure thousands of people every year. From faulty household appliances to dangerous children’s products and defective electronics, these cases often involve powerful manufacturers, complex investigations, and aggressive defense teams. While the harm to victims can be immediate, compensation is rarely fast.
Product liability lawsuits take time—especially when corporations deny responsibility or attempt to minimize injuries. Pre-settlement funding helps injured plaintiffs maintain financial stability while their attorneys build strong cases against manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
What Is a Product Liability Case?
Product liability claims arise when a consumer product causes injury due to a defect. These cases generally fall into three categories:
Design defects – the product is inherently unsafe
Manufacturing defects – errors during production make the product dangerous
Failure to warn – inadequate instructions or missing safety warnings
Defective products can include:
Household appliances
Electronics and batteries
Children’s toys and baby products
Power tools and machinery
Medical devices
Automotive parts
Furniture and consumer goods
Even everyday products can cause catastrophic harm when safety fails.
Injuries Commonly Caused by Defective Products
Product-related injuries often include:
Severe burns or electrical injuries
Traumatic brain injuries
Lacerations or amputations
Spinal cord injuries
Internal organ damage
Poisoning or toxic exposure
Permanent disability
Many of these injuries require long-term treatment and prevent victims from working.
Why Product Liability Cases Take So Long
Product liability litigation is notoriously complex because it often involves:
Corporate defendants with extensive legal resources
Multiple responsible parties (manufacturer, distributor, retailer)
Engineering and safety experts
Product testing and recalls
Discovery of internal company documents
Regulatory and compliance issues
Manufacturers frequently delay proceedings to reduce financial exposure.
The Financial Strain on Injured Consumers
While cases drag on, injured plaintiffs often face:
Ongoing medical expenses
Lost wages or reduced earning capacity
Rehabilitation and therapy costs
Household bills and daily living expenses
Mounting debt and financial stress
Without financial support, many victims feel pressured to accept early settlements that don’t reflect the true extent of their injuries.
How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps Product Liability Plaintiffs
Pre-settlement funding provides a non-recourse cash advance, meaning:
You receive funds before your case resolves
You repay only if your case wins or settles
There are no monthly payments
If the case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing
Funding helps plaintiffs withstand long litigation timelines without sacrificing their financial stability.
Common Uses of Funding in Product Liability Cases
Plaintiffs often use pre-settlement funding to cover:
Rent or mortgage payments
Utilities and household bills
Medical co-pays and treatment
Physical therapy or rehabilitation
Transportation and daily living costs
Lost income during recovery
Funding allows injured consumers to focus on healing while their attorneys pursue accountability.
Why Funding Strengthens Product Liability Cases
Financial stability helps plaintiffs:
Continue consistent medical treatment
Avoid gaps in care that defendants exploit
Resist low settlement offers
Allow attorneys time to uncover corporate negligence
Negotiate from a position of strength
Without funding, financial pressure often becomes a manufacturer’s greatest leverage.
Responsible Funding Is Critical in Corporate Defect Cases
Because product liability settlements can be substantial—but slow—ethical funding providers evaluate:
Case strength and liability evidence
Number of defendants and insurance coverage
Medical damages and long-term impact
Attorney fees and existing liens
