Lawsuit Funding Is Available For Many Different Types of Cases

Lawsuit funding companies can provide litigation financing for virtually every type of case. Perhaps the most commonly funded type of case is personal injury lawsuit funding. Plaintiffs who have been injured by the carelessness, negligence, or intentional acts of another may require assistance during the course of their lawsuits. Similarly, attorneys prosecuting personal injury cases for their clients often receive lawsuit funding. This is because such cases take a lot of time and financial outlay. 

Many plaintiffs and attorneys also receive lawsuit funding for auto accident cases. This is a sub-category of personal injury lawsuits. Auto accident lawsuits result in personal injury, medical bills, and long recovery time. All of these factors make it very common for those with auto accident cases to seek lawsuit funding. 

Similarly, slip and fall lawsuit funding and premises lawsuit funding is also available from lawsuit funding companies.  Slip and fall cases involve just that; plaintiffs falling and being injured in places where they have a duty to receive safe conditions. Those responsible for maintaining their premises in safe conditions are subject to premises lawsuits. 

Quite often, employees are injured on the job, usually when they have physically demanding jobs which can put their bodies at risk. Through a variety of laws, employers are required to provide safe working conditions and not to discriminate against their employees or job applicants. When something goes wrong and employees suffer personal injuries or feel they have been discriminated against, they lawsuit funding companies often provide labor law lawsuit funding. 

Construction lawsuits are a sub-category of labor lawsuits which often receive lawsuit funding. Construction workers often suffer on-the-job injuries which make them unable to perform their previous jobs, or to work at all. At the same time, medical bills and other bills can pile up. Lawsuit funding can help construction workers pay their expenses while waiting for their construction lawsuits to come to fruition. 

Patients sometimes suffer injuries or harm during the course of medical treatment. In those cases, they sometimes bring medical malpractice lawsuits against their health care providers and insurers. Because they may have high medical bills and be unable to work, such plaintiffs often seek medical malpractice lawsuit funding from lawsuit funding companies. 

In addition, class action lawsuits also commonly make use of lawsuit funding, particularly in the post-settlement phase. It can take a long time between the time a class action settlement is reached and when the attorneys and plaintiffs actually receive their settlements. Therefore, class action lawsuit attorneys are increasingly turning to lawsuit funding companies to provide an advance on their attorneys’ fees. Similarly, in large-recovery class action cases, class action lawsuit plaintiffs are also increasingly using lawsuit funding in the post-settlement period. 

Patent infringement lawsuits often take years to come to resolution. As a result, intellectual property attorneys who represent plaintiffs in patent infringement lawsuits often make use of lawsuit funding. Expert testimony and discovery can require a significant cash outlay, even when liability is clear. 

Plaintiffs and attorneys in virtually any type of contingency fee case may be eligible for lawsuit funding. Some of these additional types of cases which receive lawsuit funding are: assault cases, wrongful death lawsuits, toxic substances lawsuits, worker’s compensation, Jones Act cases, FELA cases, dog bite cases, breach of contract lawsuits, and aviation accident lawsuits among others.  

Lawsuit funding is useful to contingency-fee plaintiffs and contingency-fee attorneys in that it helps them build the best case possible without having to settle for less than the case merits. Lawsuit funding is available in contingency-fee lawsuits in both the pre-settlement and post-settlement stages. As the comments of LawCash clients quoted above illustrate, lawsuit funding can be a lifesaver.
