Medical Malpractice Pre-Settlement Funding

Medical malpractice cases are among the most expensive and time-consuming to litigate. Get the financial support you need while your attorneys build your case.

Typical Funding Range: $10,000 — $1,000,000

What Is Medical Malpractice Funding?

Medical malpractice lawsuits are uniquely demanding because they require proving that a healthcare provider deviated from the accepted standard of care. This means hiring expensive medical experts, reviewing thousands of pages of medical records, and often battling hospital systems with deep-pocketed insurance defense teams. The average medical malpractice case takes 3 to 5 years to resolve and costs $100,000 or more in litigation expenses alone. Meanwhile, victims are often dealing with worsened medical conditions, additional treatment costs, and inability to work. Pre-settlement funding provides the financial stability needed to sustain this lengthy fight.

Common Injuries in Medical Malpractice Cases

Surgical errors and wrong-site surgery
Misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis
Medication errors and adverse drug reactions
Birth injuries (cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy)
Anesthesia errors
Hospital-acquired infections
Failure to treat or monitor

Why Do Medical Malpractice Victims Need Pre-Settlement Funding?

Medical malpractice cases are a war of attrition. Hospitals and their insurers have massive defense budgets and routinely use delay tactics knowing that plaintiffs are under financial pressure. Many med mal victims cannot work due to the very injuries caused by the negligent care. Pre-settlement funding eliminates the financial pressure to settle early and gives your attorney the resources and time needed to build an airtight case with proper expert testimony.

Typical Case Timeline

Medical malpractice cases typically take 3 to 5 years to resolve. Cases involving complex medical issues, multiple defendants, or caps on damages can take even longer. Funding approval usually takes 24 to 72 hours.

FAQ

Medical Malpractice Funding Questions

Why do medical malpractice cases take so long?

Medical malpractice cases require extensive expert testimony, review of complex medical records, and often face aggressive defense from hospital legal teams. The discovery process alone can take 1 to 2 years. These cases also frequently go through mediation and sometimes trial.

Can I get funding for a birth injury case?

Yes. Birth injury cases, including cerebral palsy, Erb's palsy, and brain damage caused by medical negligence during delivery, are among the strongest cases for pre-settlement funding due to their high settlement values.

Do damage caps affect my funding amount?

Some states cap non-economic damages in medical malpractice cases. Our underwriting team factors in your state's specific rules when evaluating your case and determining the funding amount.

What if my medical malpractice case is still in the early stages?

You can apply for funding at any stage of litigation. Cases that have passed the certificate of merit stage or have strong expert support may qualify for higher amounts, but early-stage cases with clear merit are also funded.
