Oakland Victim of Police Action Wins $1.2 Million Settlement
todd bower - Tuesday, November 16, 2010
It took almost two years. but a seriously burned plaintiff in Oakland, CA finally won a $1.2 million settlement against the city. The victim was burned when Oakland police fired a flash-bang grenade into the home where she was sleeping.
In the two years since the event, the victim piled up more than $400,000 in medical bills. In these types of cases, the plaintiff is most often under extreme duress to settle their case quickly to get funds needed to pay these bills.
Lawsuit funding, also known as pre-settlement financing, can make an important difference for plaintiffs on these types of cases. Lawsuit funding provides cash to plaintiffs today, when it's needed to pay bills, but is only paid back if and when the case is successfully settled. If the plaintiff does not win the case, the legal loan does not have to be repaid.
Pre-settlement legal funding enables plaintiffs and their attorneys to pursue their case for a full and fair settlement instead of settling prematurely for a fraction of the case's true value.
