What We Understand

You shouldn't have to think about money right now.

We know that. But we also know that funeral costs, lost income, medical bills, and daily expenses don't pause because you're grieving. Families dealing with wrongful death cases often face financial pressure at exactly the moment they have the least capacity to handle it.

Pre-settlement funding exists so families don't have to make decisions about their case based on short-term financial pressure. Because we're only paid from a successful outcome, our interests are aligned with yours: we want your family to hold out for the result your loved one deserved.

  • Cover funeral and burial expenses
  • Replace household income the deceased provided
  • Pay mortgage, rent, and daily expenses
  • Give your attorney time to build the strongest case

Wrongful Death Cases We Fund

The most common causes of wrongful death cases.

Wrongful death cases arise from a wide range of causes. What matters for funding is that your family has an attorney and a valid legal claim against a party whose negligence or wrongful conduct contributed to your loved one's death.

01

Fatal Auto & Trucking Accidents

Fatal collisions caused by drunk driving, distracted driving, commercial vehicles, or negligent operators. These are among the most common wrongful death cases.

02

Medical Malpractice

Deaths caused by surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, or hospital negligence. Medical wrongful death cases often have some of the highest case values.

03

Workplace Fatalities

Construction accidents, machinery malfunctions, falls from height, or industrial accidents caused by third-party negligence. Often involves both workers' comp and third-party liability claims.

04

Nursing Home Negligence

Preventable deaths in nursing homes due to neglect, abuse, medication errors, or failure to provide adequate care. These cases have received increasing attention in recent years.

05

Defective Products & Drugs

Deaths caused by dangerous consumer products, faulty vehicles, defective medical devices, or harmful pharmaceuticals. Product liability cases can have substantial damages.

06

Premises Liability & Negligent Security

Fatal falls, drownings, or violence on properties where the owner failed to provide reasonable safety measures. These cases require careful investigation but often succeed.

What We Underwrite

How we evaluate wrongful death cases.

Wrongful death cases share the core underwriting factors of any personal injury case, but with important additions specific to fatal claims — including who has legal standing to bring the case and how damages are calculated for surviving family members.

Wrongful Death FAQ

Common questions from families.

Questions we frequently hear from families with wrongful death claims. For our complete FAQ, see our full FAQ page.

See our full FAQ →
Who can apply for wrongful death funding?
Generally, the person legally authorized to bring the wrongful death claim on behalf of the estate or surviving family — typically the estate's personal representative or executor, or in some states a surviving spouse, adult child, or parent. Your attorney can confirm who has standing under your state's law.
How much funding can we get on a wrongful death case?
Wrongful death advances typically range from $1,000 to $250,000+, with the highest advances reserved for cases involving clear liability, substantial economic damages, and strong attorney representation. Case value depends on the deceased's earning capacity, age, dependents, and the circumstances of the death. Your specialist can give you an amount range once we review the case.
How long do wrongful death cases take?
They vary, but expect a longer timeline than most personal injury cases. Two to four years is common. Cases against corporations, hospitals, or insurance companies tend to be more contested and take longer. Simple auto accident wrongful death cases can move faster if liability is clear and coverage is sufficient.
Do we need to have already filed the lawsuit?
Ideally, yes. Funding is easiest to approve when a complaint has been filed. In some cases we can review pre-litigation matters where your attorney has completed necessary pre-suit requirements and is preparing to file — but our underwriting is generally strongest after a case has been filed.
What can the funding be used for?
Anything. Funeral and burial expenses, mortgage or rent, replacing lost income the deceased provided, medical bills, childcare, education for surviving children, everyday expenses. There are no restrictions on how you use the money.
What if the case settles for less than we hoped?
Our payoff amount is fixed at the time of funding. In the rare situation where a settlement comes in dramatically below expectations, our team works with your attorney to reach a fair resolution — we never take the entirety of a settlement. This is something we discuss openly during underwriting.
What if the case is dismissed or lost?
You owe us nothing. That's the entire point of non-recourse funding. If your family's case doesn't result in a recovery, the advance is written off entirely. There's no clawback, no fine print, no attempt to collect. The risk lives with us.
Will pre-settlement funding affect our case?
No. Pre-settlement funding is entirely separate from the legal handling of your case. Your attorney continues to represent your family the same way, negotiate on your behalf, and control case strategy. Our funding is simply a financial bridge — it doesn't change how the case is prosecuted or settled.
