Product Liability Cases: How Funding Helps You Fight Big Corporations

David vs. Goliath
When you are injured by a defective product—whether it's a dangerous drug, a faulty car part, or a toxic chemical—you aren't just suing a person; you are suing a massive corporation. These companies have unlimited budgets and armies of lawyers whose only job is to delay your case.
Their strategy is simple: "Starve the plaintiff." They know that if they drag the case out for 3 or 4 years, you might run out of money and accept a tiny settlement just to pay your bills. Pre-settlement funding destroys this strategy by giving you the financial resources to wait them out.
Mass Torts and MDLs
Many product liability cases become part of a "Mass Tort" or "Multi-District Litigation" (MDL). This is when thousands of people sue for the same defect (like the Roundup or Earplug lawsuits).
While these cases often result in large payouts, they move at a glacial pace. It is common for an MDL to take 3 to 5 years to resolve. Funding is often the only way for a plaintiff to survive financially during this long silence without giving up their claim.
What We Look For
To approve funding for a product liability case, we generally look for a "Recall" or a history of similar settlements. If the product has already been recalled by the FDA or CPSC, your case is much stronger.
We also check to see if your attorney has filed the lawsuit in the proper court. Once we verify that your specific injury is linked to the defective product, we can typically approve funding quickly.
