Guide
Losing a loved one is devastating under any circumstance. When the death is caused by negligence, malpractice, or misconduct, the emotional toll is compounded by financial strain. Families may face funeral costs, medical bills, and the sudden loss of household income—often while pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit that can take years to resolve.
Pre-settlement funding provides families with critical financial relief during this difficult time. By offering immediate cash advances against the expected settlement, funding helps survivors focus on healing and justice without being forced into premature, undervalued settlements.
The Financial Challenges After a Wrongful Death
In addition to grief, families often struggle with overwhelming expenses, such as:
Funeral and burial costs
Outstanding medical bills from emergency treatment
Mortgage or rent payments
Childcare or dependent support
Loss of income from the deceased loved one
These challenges can quickly drain savings, forcing families into debt while waiting for their case to resolve.
Why Wrongful Death Cases Take Time
Wrongful death lawsuits are complex, requiring:
Thorough investigation of liability
Expert testimony on cause of death and damages
Calculation of long-term financial impact (lost wages, benefits, services)
Negotiations with powerful insurance companies or corporations
Because of these factors, wrongful death claims often take years before reaching a fair settlement or trial verdict.
How Pre-Settlement Funding Supports Families
Pre-settlement funding is a non-recourse cash advance—not a loan. Families can access funds now to cover urgent expenses while their case is still pending.
Key benefits include:
Immediate Financial Relief: Cover funeral expenses, household bills, and medical costs without delay.
No Risk If You Lose: Repayment is only required if your case succeeds. If the case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing.
No Credit Checks: Approval is based on case strength, not financial history.
Flexibility: Funds can be used for any expense your family faces.
Preserving Case Value and Negotiation Strength
Insurance companies often pressure grieving families into quick settlements, counting on financial desperation to lower payouts. With pre-settlement funding, families can:
Avoid accepting early, undervalued offers
Give attorneys time to build the strongest case possible
Focus on healing, not financial stress
This strengthens negotiation leverage and improves the likelihood of a fair resolution.
