Wrongful Death Funding

Wrongful Death Pre-Settlement Funding

Losing a loved one due to someone else's negligence is devastating. Pre-settlement funding helps surviving families pursue justice without added financial hardship.

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

What Is Wrongful Death Funding?

Wrongful death lawsuits are filed when a person dies due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions of another party. These cases can arise from car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace incidents, defective products, and criminal acts. Surviving family members — typically a spouse, children, or parents — bring the claim on behalf of the deceased and the estate. Wrongful death cases are among the highest-value personal injury claims, but they are also emotionally and financially draining for families who have lost their primary breadwinner. Pre-settlement funding provides compassionate financial support during what is often the most difficult period of a family's life.

Common Injuries in Wrongful Death Cases

Medical malpractice resulting in death

Why Do Wrongful Death Victims Need Pre-Settlement Funding?

When a family loses its primary income earner, the financial impact is immediate and severe — mortgage payments, childcare costs, and daily expenses do not stop. Wrongful death litigation can take 2 to 5 years, and defense teams use this time to their advantage. Pre-settlement funding ensures families can maintain financial stability, avoid foreclosure, and give their attorneys the time needed to pursue full compensation for their loss.

Typical Case Timeline

Wrongful death cases typically take 2 to 5 years to resolve. Cases involving criminal proceedings, multiple defendants, or complex liability may take longer. Funding approval takes 24 to 48 hours.

FAQ

Wrongful Death Funding Questions

Who can apply for wrongful death funding?

The person or persons who filed the wrongful death lawsuit can apply for funding. This is typically the surviving spouse, adult children, parents, or the personal representative of the estate.

How is wrongful death case value determined for funding?

Wrongful death case value is based on factors including the deceased's age, earning history, future earning potential, number of dependents, and the circumstances of the death. Our underwriting team evaluates these factors along with your attorney's assessment.

Can I get funding if there are also criminal charges pending?

Yes. A criminal case against the defendant can actually strengthen your civil wrongful death claim. The pending criminal proceedings do not disqualify you from pre-settlement funding.

How much funding is available for wrongful death cases?

Wrongful death funding typically ranges from $10,000 to $1,000,000. These cases generally qualify for higher funding amounts due to their significant settlement values.
