Wrongful death lawsuit funding is not a traditional loan. It's a cash advance against the anticipated proceeds of your wrongful death claim. If your case is unsuccessful, you typically owe nothing—making it a non-recourse financial solution designed specifically for families in litigation.

Here's how it works: Once you apply, we coordinate with your attorney to evaluate your case. If approved, you receive funds that can be used for any essential expenses—funeral arrangements, mortgage payments, medical bills, childcare, or daily living costs—while your lawsuit progresses.

This funding model differs fundamentally from bank loans. There are no credit checks, no employment verification, and no monthly payments. Repayment occurs when your case settles and the amount is deducted directly from your settlement proceeds.

The goal is simple: remove the financial pressure that often forces families to settle prematurely for less than their case is worth.

By providing immediate access to funds, wrongful death lawsuit funding allows your legal team the necessary time to build a compelling case and negotiate from a position of strength rather than desperation.

Not every wrongful death case qualifies for funding, but many families pursuing valid claims can access financial support if they meet basic eligibility requirements. Approval is based on the merits of your case—not your credit score, income, or employment status.

To qualify, you must:

1. Have an active wrongful death lawsuit filed by the estate or surviving family members
   Your claim must be in progress with clear legal standing.
   
   
2. Be represented by an attorney
   We work directly with your legal counsel to review case details and determine funding eligibility.
   
   
3. Have a case with identifiable liability and damages
   The stronger your case—with clear evidence of negligence and substantial damages—the more likely you are to qualify for funding.
   
   

Common types of wrongful death cases we fund include:

• Motor vehicle accidents (car, truck, motorcycle)
• Medical malpractice and hospital negligence
• Workplace accidents and construction site fatalities
• Premises liability (unsafe property conditions)
• Assault, violent crimes, or intentional harm

If your case meets these criteria, you may be able to access funds quickly to help your family maintain financial stability while pursuing justice for your loved one.

Common Uses for Wrongful Death Lawsuit Funding

Losing a family member creates both emotional and financial upheaval. While a wrongful death lawsuit seeks justice and compensation, the legal process can take months or years—time during which bills continue to arrive and expenses mount.

Wrongful death lawsuit funding provides families with the financial breathing room they need to stay afloat while pursuing the compensation they deserve. Here are some of the most common ways families use these funds:

1. Funeral and Burial Expenses

The immediate costs of laying a loved one to rest can be substantial. Funding can cover funeral services, burial or cremation costs, memorial arrangements, and related expenses so families can honor their loved one without financial strain.

2. Mortgage or Rent Payments

If the deceased was a primary income earner, maintaining housing payments can become difficult or impossible. Lawsuit funding helps families keep up with rent or mortgage obligations while the case is pending.

3. Medical Bills from Final Care

Many wrongful death cases involve significant medical expenses incurred before the victim's passing. Funding can help settle these outstanding bills and prevent collections or liens.

4. Replace Lost Income

When a family loses a wage earner, the financial impact can be immediate and severe. Lawsuit funding can help replace lost income and cover essential household expenses like groceries, utilities, and childcare.

5. Legal and Expert Fees

While many wrongful death attorneys work on contingency, some cases require upfront costs for expert witnesses, depositions, or case preparation. Funding can help cover these expenses so your attorney can build the strongest possible case.

6. Reduce Pressure to Settle Early

Insurance companies and defendants often make lowball settlement offers early in the process, hoping financial desperation will lead families to accept inadequate compensation. With funding in place, families can resist these tactics and give their attorney time to negotiate for the full value of the case.

By addressing these critical needs, wrongful death lawsuit funding allows families to focus on healing and justice rather than financial survival.

Understanding Wrongful Death Case Timelines and Settlement Values

Wrongful death cases are among the most emotionally complex and legally intricate types of litigation. Understanding what affects case duration and settlement value can help families set realistic expectations and make informed decisions about funding needs.

Factors That Influence Case Duration

Several variables determine how long a wrongful death lawsuit takes to resolve:

• Case complexity and evidence: Cases involving multiple defendants, disputed liability, or extensive medical records typically require more time to develop.
• Insurance company cooperation: Some insurers negotiate in good faith, while others employ delay tactics to pressure families into settling for less.
• Court schedules and backlogs: Litigation timelines depend partly on court availability, which can vary significantly by jurisdiction.
• Need for expert witnesses: Medical experts, accident reconstructionists, economists, and other specialists often require time to prepare thorough reports and testimony.

While some wrongful death cases settle within six months, others can extend beyond two years—particularly if they proceed to trial.

Factors That Influence Settlement Value

The compensation available in wrongful death cases depends on multiple factors:

• Economic damages: Lost income, benefits, and financial support the deceased would have provided to dependents over their lifetime.
• Medical and funeral expenses: Costs incurred before death and burial or cremation expenses.
• Non-economic damages: Loss of companionship, guidance, and emotional support—particularly significant when children lose a parent.
• Punitive damages: In cases involving gross negligence or intentional harm, courts may award additional damages to punish the defendant.
• Available insurance coverage: The defendant's insurance policy limits often cap the maximum recoverable amount.

Strong cases with clear liability and substantial damages tend to settle for higher amounts, but reaching that outcome requires patience and thorough legal preparation—both of which lawsuit funding helps facilitate.

Protect Your Family's Financial Stability While Pursuing Justice

The loss of a loved one due to negligence is a tragedy no family should endure. While a wrongful death lawsuit cannot undo that loss, it can provide accountability and financial security for those left behind.

Wrongful death lawsuit funding bridges the gap between loss and compensation, helping families cover essential expenses without sacrificing the quality or outcome of their case. With Best Call Funding, families receive fast approvals, transparent terms, and compassionate support throughout the legal process.
