The Situation: Pressed Against a Wall
Meet "John" (name changed for privacy). John was injured in a rear-end collision that left him with a back injury and $15,000 in medical bills. Because he couldn't work for two months, he fell behind on rent and was facing eviction.
The insurance company offered him a quick settlement of $12,000. It was tempting. It would pay off most of his immediate debt, but it wouldn't cover his future medical needs or his pain and suffering. He felt he had no choice but to take it.
The Solution: Buying Time
John's attorney advised him not to settle but knew John couldn't wait. They applied to World Legal Funding. We reviewed the case and approved a $2,000 advance within 24 hours.
This $2,000 didn't make John rich, but it paid his rent for two months. It stopped the eviction. Most importantly, it removed the desperation. John told his lawyer, "I'm okay for now. Let's keep fighting."
