Pre-settlement funding for medical malpractice plaintiffs.
Medical malpractice cases are complex, expensive, and slow. Pre-settlement funding helps plaintiffs maintain financial stability during litigation that can span years.
Medical malpractice litigation is among the most resource-intensive and time-consuming areas of personal injury law. Cases typically require expensive expert witnesses, extensive medical record review, and multi-year litigation timelines. Plaintiffs managing ongoing medical care while their case progresses often face significant financial pressure. Pre-settlement funding provides non-recourse capital to cover living expenses and medical costs without forcing early settlement.
Not every claim is a fit for funding. The factors below are the ones our underwriting team weighs most heavily when evaluating this case type. Meeting them does not guarantee approval, but it indicates a claim well-suited for a pre-settlement advance.
Medical malpractice is among our most rigorous underwriting categories because liability turns on expert testimony, not on the existence of a bad outcome. We require confirmation that a qualified expert supports both the breach of the standard of care and causation. We then weigh the severity of the injury and the available coverage against the jurisdiction's damages framework, including any statutory caps, using outcome data for comparable med-mal claims.
Medical malpractice cases routinely take 24 to 48 months to resolve given the expert discovery and pre-suit requirements many states impose.
