If you have been injured due to the negligence of someone else, you deserve to be compensated. Unfortunately, many plaintiffs will struggle financially until a case settles because they are unable to work and the bills continue to mount. Defendants know it’s just a matter of time before the bills and expenses get overwhelming. When this happens, many plaintiffs will settle for far less than they deserve. They will rationalize that “something is better than nothing.” Accepting a less-than-favorable settlement will only result in further financial suffering.
There is an alternative solution that gives plaintiffs a chance to stay the course and see their case through to a final verdict or settlement!
If you are a plaintiff in a personal injury case, litigation funding can help you stand up for your rights and fight your case. A lawsuit cash advance is very different than a typical bank loan. There are no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no employment history necessary to obtain approval. The only requirements are attorney representation and a strong case.
The application process is quick and straightforward; it takes less than five minutes to complete a funding application. Once you apply, your attorney will provide documentation on your case so a funding decision can be made. After a case is approved, funds are typically available via direct deposit or overnight mail within 24 – 48 hours. Repayment of the cash advance is made at the time the lawsuit settles. If the case is lost, the lawsuit funding is forgiven. You owe Litigation Funding Corporation nothing!

Whether an auto accident was due to driver negligence or poor road conditions, innocent victims may be able to recover compensation for damages by filing a personal injury lawsuit. Litigation funding can be a financial lifesaver if you need help paying your bills while your case is pending.
A personal injury lawsuit can take a long time winding through the courts, time many plaintiffs might not be able to afford. Injuries can result in time out of work and medical bills can put an extra strain on already reduced finances. Insurance companies know this and will present a lowball offer. Although it may be a long road to achieving a fair settlement, it doesn’t have to be a financially bumpy one. With litigation funding, there is no reason to settle for less than full case value.
While many refer to litigation funding as a “lawsuit loan”, it really isn’t a loan in the customary sense. It is a cash advance against the proceeds you expect to receive when your case settles. The money can be used to pay medical bills, day-to-day living expenses, or any other financial obligations. Unlike a bank loan, there is no employment or income verification and credit score doesn’t matter; funding is based solely on the strength of the case. Additionally, there are no upfront fees or monthly payments, and no out of pockets expense. Repayment only occurs once the case successfully settles; if lost, the repayment is completely waived.
At Litigation Funding Corporation, we have streamlined the application process; it takes less than 5 minutes online or over the phone. Next, we will contact the plaintiff’s attorney for case documentation to determine eligibility for funding. If approved, cash can be available in as little as 24 hours, via direct deposit or overnight mail. If you are in need of short-term cash during your pending claim, contact Litigation Funding. We provide a free, no-obligation consultation and our professional staff will guide you ever step of the way to ensure the litigation funding process is not only timely, but hassle-free.

While most slip and fall accidents are simply ‘just accidents’, there are some accidents that happen due to the negligence of the cruise line or its employees. Establishing negligence by the cruise line and then proving that negligence can be quite difficult. Injured passengers should seek legal advice from an attorney experienced in maritime laws (the laws of the seas).
A passenger aboard one of Princess Cruises’ ships has filed a lawsuit resulting from a slip-and-fall accident aboard while vacationing with her husband last year.
According to the complaint, the cruise ship was docked for repairs to its sewage system. The plaintiff claims she went to a public restroom aboard the ship, but the toilet was overflowing with sewage and she slipped and fell, striking her face on the door. She says that she was knocked unconscious, laying on the contaminated bathroom floor. The lawsuit states that as a result, the woman had to get a tetanus shot and was placed on various antibiotics. The lawsuit claims the cruise company is responsible for her permanent injuries and emotional distress.
Maritime laws apply not only to injured workers, but, also to passengers. The cruise ship is obligated to keep areas free from hazards and alert passengers as well as employees about dangerous conditions. A cruise ship company will generally be liable to its guests and passengers for injuries sustained that are a result of negligence when the operator knew or should have known about the dangerous condition. The most common injuries include slip and fall accidents.
Whether you are injured as a passenger or an employee at sea, it is highly recommended that you retain the services of an experienced maritime attorney to pursue your case. Litigation Funding Corporation has strategic relationships with attorneys all over the country who specialize in this area of the law. Our attorney referral program promises to locate a legal specialist in any area of the law, including Maritime law, with 48 hours of your request.
Often times, those involved in a cruise ship accident lawsuit eventually face financial hardships. Many can’t work and the legal process is long and drawn out. Some cases take many years to resolve. At times like this, Litigation Funding Corporation can help. We can provide litigation funding to pay your extraordinary medical expenses, mortgage or rent payments, car payments, food, utilities or other important expenses.
Once we received a funding application, we will request some case documentation, evaluate the lawsuit to determine funding, and if approved, direct deposit or overnight mail funding within 24 – 48 hours. There is no need for a credit check or employment verification; we are simply repaid once the case settles. If there is no recovery on the case, no money is repaid. It’s that simple!
If you have been injured on a cruise ship due to negligence of the crew or cruise line, you may have a potential claim. Once you file a lawsuit, if you are financially strapped, leverage our money into a larger case settlement. Contact us at 1.866.LIT.FUND to learn more or apply online to get started.

When you have been involved in an auto accident, especially one that results in serious injuries, it is important to understand your rights and the process of seeking compensation. Many victims are under the pretense that when filing a claim the insurance company will be on their side. Unfortunately, the opposite is true – the insurance adjuster number one interest is paying the least mount as possible in claims. They will deny, delay, and defend the claim as long as possible. They know that if they hold out long enough, you may become financially desperate to settle for less than full case value.
An auto accident attorney can significantly improve the chances of your claim resolving successfully. However, even with the help of an attorney, many auto accident claims don’t settle quickly. Being injured is bad enough, but when you are unable to work, life becomes much harder. As bills begin to pile up and you start feeling pressure to settle, what other options do you have?
At Litigation Funding Corporation, we provide financial assistance to plaintiffs in need of short-term financial relief. Our litigation funding services are a fast cash lifeline to give you and your attorney all the time necessary to achieve the best settlement results.
A lawsuit cash advance can be used for anything you need. While there are not restrictions, most victims use the money to pay the mortgage/rent, medical expenses, auto payments, utility bills, and daily household needs such as groceries. The best part of obtaining litigation funding is that repayment is only made if you settle or win your lawsuit. If the case is lost, you are under no obligation to repay the cash advance.
If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in a motor vehicle accident you may have a right to financial compensation. Begin by scheduling a free case consultation with an experienced attorney to ensure your rights are protected and you receive fair and just compensation that you are entitled. Once you have retained an attorney, if you need financial assistance to see your case through to the end, contact Litigation Funding Corporation at 1-866-LIT-FUND for a free, no obligation consultation with one of our experienced lawsuit funding specialists.

A deceased woman’s family has filed a lawsuit against a Chicago long-term care facility, accusing them of failing to appropriately caring for a hip fracture until several days after the fall that caused the fracture.
According to the suit, the plaintiff alleges that the patient fell on January 29, while under the defendant’s care and the defendant did not seek medical treatment until February 6. The plaintiff holds the defendants responsible for allegedly failing to hire adequately trained registered nurses and failing to appropriately monitor the quality of care the decedent received. The plaintiff seeks judgment against the defendants in an amount of more than $50,000.
It may take some time and effort to settle this case. In the meantime, if the family is facing financial hardship, Litigation Funding may be able to support them with a lawsuit cash advance, known as litigation funding.

A slip and fall accident can happen anywhere, inside or outside. It could be at the mall, grocery store, restaurant, or even someone’s home. It could be a sidewalk, parking lot, or city road. Wherever or however it takes place, slip and fall accidents can result in broken bones, brain injuries and paralysis. Because the burden of proof in these cases is difficult to overcome, premise liability claims typically require the assistance of an experienced personal injury attorney. However, the wheels of justice turn very slowly and compensation sought could be months, even years away. A seriously injured or disabled person is at a significant disadvantage against a powerful, well-financed insurance company. Pre-settlement litigation funding is designed to provide an emergency financial lifeline.
An 88-year-old man has filed a lawsuit against Wal-Mart alleging failure to maintain their premises in a reasonably safe condition led to his injuries. The plaintiff alleges the superstore negligently chose not to repair the cart corral and failed to provide any warning about the danger of using it.
According to the complaint, on May 17, after returning a shopping cart to the cart corral, the man caught his foot on a disconnected metal ground plate and fell, striking his head on the ground and sustaining serious injuries. The lawsuit states the elderly man will continue to experience medical expenses, pain and suffering and loss of enjoyment of life as a result.
The plaintiff seeks trial by jury and judgment for all damages he has sustained.
Litigation Funding Corporation is a reputable litigation funding company, with over 17 years’ experience helping personal injury plaintiffs with short-term financial needs. After filing a lawsuit, as long as the plaintiff has serious injuries and a strong case, we can often put cash in hand within 24 – 48 hours.

Litigation funding allows plaintiffs to pay the necessary bills – mortgage/rent, car payments, medical expenses, utilities, groceries, and other important financial obligations. This lawsuit cash advance is made against the future proceeds of the case and not valuable assets.
Litigation funding is similar to a loan, but better! There are no credit checks or employment verifications required to obtain funding and there are no monthly payments. Funding is approved solely on the strength of the case. We are repaid from the proceeds of the settlement, but if it is lost, we completely waive repayment of the cash advance – no principal, no interest, nothing!

When trees cause harm in a weather related event, liability is a gray area. Since no one controls the weather, it is often not an issue of liability for the tree owner. On the contrary, if the property owners were negligent in caring and maintaining a tree, they can be held liable for serious injuries or death.
It was a stormy, windy night on December 11, 2014 when an Oregon woman’s car was struck by a tree. Investigators said after the tree fell on the vehicle, the female driver swerved and hit another tree. She and her 11-year-old son were trapped in the vehicle for some time before emergency responders could extricate them. The young boy died at the scene. The woman suffered serious injuries that led to multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation. She has not been able to return to work.
Two lawsuits have been filed against the property owners. The first suit was made on behalf of their son’s estate. The lawsuit seeks $500,000 for the boy’s pain and suffering, as well as $2 million for medical expenses, funeral expenses and future earnings over his expected lifespan. Recently, the woman filed a claim seeking $5 million for her emotional suffering, medical expenses, lost wages, counseling and other costs. Both lawsuits claim the property owners knew or should have known the cedar tree was dead and a grave risk to public safety. The suits allege the dangerous condition of the tree was obvious to any “reasonable person” who looked at it because it showed signs of “damage or decay, including substantial discoloration.”
Seeking compensation will not bring this child back or take away the pain and suffering this woman has endured, but it will help cover funeral expenses, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and lost wages. Unfortunately, tragedies like this will often cause family members to struggle financially because such cases can be contentious and often take years to resolve. With a solid lawsuit as collateral, the couple could apply for a litigation funding; an emergency cash advance to keep afloat financially while awaiting a settlement.
Applying and receiving a lawsuit cash advance can all take place in less than 48 hours, contingent upon receipt of case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. The reason we can fund case so quickly is because there is no need for a credit check or employment verification; we only care about the strength of the case. Best of all, there are no payments until the lawsuit settles, at which time we are repaid from the case proceeds. Should the plaintiff lose the case, we completely excuse the obligation to repay.

Property owners have a duty to maintain and inspect their premise for problems and to warn of hazardous conditions. If they shirk these responsibilities, owners are responsible for any injuries that occur due to the properties’ hazardous conditions. Injuries sustained due to slips, falls and trips could result in physical, psychological, and financial distress. Litigation funding can ease the financial burden during a pending lawsuit and allow the slip and fall victim to stay the course and receive the compensation deserved.
A woman has filed a lawsuit against a hotel chain, alleging insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries, liability and negligence. The complaint file earlier this month alleges that the defendant used carpet to conceal a hole in the floor of their property. The plaintiff contends that she sustained physical injuries to her head, body and limbs as a result. She seeks judgment against the defendant in an amount greater than $50,000.
The combination of loss of wages and mounting medical bills can prove financially devastating to the injured and their families, especially when a lawsuit is not quickly resolved. Property owners often deny responsibility by placing the fault on the plaintiff. This common line of defense often results in litigation that can last several years.
Litigation funding is a simple, easy way to get fast cash from your pending slip and fall lawsuit, as long as you have serious injuries and strong case. In fact, we can often put cash in your hands within 24-48. A cash advance can help pay immediate financial obligations such as mortgage/rent, medical bills, car payments, utilities, and food. Applying for funding is quick and easy; it takes less than five minutes to apply, with no credit checks or employment requirements. The money is provided against the expected future settlement; we only expect repayment when you recover damages for your injuries. If you lose your case, you owe us absolutely nothing.
Don’t wait for your premise liability case to settle. Get the cash you deserve today with the help of Litigation Funding Corporation!

When pursuing money damages in personal injury lawsuits, corporate greed can often prevent a fair settlement from being reached quickly. Insurance companies and deep pocket defendants always have significant economic advantages over injured plaintiffs; they are infamous for delaying proceedings and denying fair resolution. They are not the injured. They are not the one out of work. They can feed their families and take care of life’s necessities. Plaintiffs, on the other hand, will typically face financial hardship as the case drags on. Savings are quickly depleted, credit card debt may climb, or borrowing money can quickly jeopardize relationships with family and friends. While typically not approved, some may apply for a traditional bank loan. All these means of obtaining quick cash are risky options because the litigation process is often a long and unpredictable road to settlement or a verdict. And, sometimes the settlement is not favorable resulting in further financial setback. For plaintiffs with lost income and mounting expenses, a more viable, risk-free, option is litigation funding.
Since a financially desperate plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations, it stands to reason that removing financial pressure to settle early, and for too little, will result in increased settlement proceeds for the plaintiff. Litigation Funding Corporation provides the freedom to wait for the highest possible settlement in the form of a lawsuit cash advance. We do this without the need for a credit check, employment verification, or monthly payments. In fact, no payment is made until the case settles. If the case is lost, the repayment is completely waived.
Plaintiffs who apply, and are approved, for litigation funding can receive the funds within 24-48 hours. Although there are no restrictions on how the money is spent, traditionally, the cash advance is used to pay immediate expenses, such as unexpected medical bills, the mortgage/rent, or daily living expenses.
If you have been injured, disabled, or lost a loved one due to the negligence of someone else, if the bills are piling up, and if your life has been interrupted in a way nearly impossible to recover from without significant financial help, contact Litigation Funding Corporation online or toll-free at 1-866-LITFUND. We may just be the one to bridge the financial gap until you receive the compensation you deserve.

The litigation process is often quite complex. Plaintiffs wait years for a settlement, and often financial relief. A financially desperate plaintiff is not in a favorable position regarding settlement negotiations; this person will often settle for too little, too soon. For those needing short –term financial assistance, lawsuit funding is a valuable solution.
Lawsuit funding is a cash advance in exchange for a portion of the future proceeds of the case. Securing lawsuit funding can help pay medical bills, mortgage/rent, credit card debt, daily household living expenses, and other out of pocket expenses.
The application takes less than five minutes to complete. Then, we obtain case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney to make a funding decision. If the case is approved, we can direct deposit or overnight mail the cash advance within 24 – 48 hours. There is no credit check, employment verification, or restrictions on how the money is used and it is only repaid once the claim is settled. If the case is lost, the lawsuit cash advance is waived in its entirety.
Do you have a personal injury lawsuit case pending? Are you in need of fast cash? In the right situation, for the right plaintiff, lawsuit funding is clearly a service that plaintiffs should consider at a strategic time in the litigation. Call Litigation Funding Corporation to learn more.
