Losing a loved one in a preventable incident brings grief, shock, and sudden bills. If you’re facing funeral expenses, household costs, and months without income while a case moves forward, Massachusetts wrongful death pre-settlement funding can provide timely support.
At Pegasus Legal Capital, our team provides Massachusetts personal injury pre-settlement funding so you can cover the costs you have lost after your loved one passed.
How Wrongful Death Claims Impact Family Finances
After a fatal crash, medical error, workplace incident, or unsafe property condition, families often experience an abrupt loss of income along with new expenses. Probate filings, funeral arrangements, counseling, and day-to-day bills can stack up before any settlement is within reach.
Insurance carriers often contest liability, the value of future earnings, or the scope of non-economic losses. That dispute can delay settlement negotiations for months or longer.
Massachusetts pre-settlement funding steps in as a cash advance tied to the future case outcome, giving you breathing room without monthly payments.

Massachusetts Wrongful Death Law Basics You Should Know
While your attorney guides the legal strategy, it helps to know a few Massachusetts-specific points about wrongful death claims. Here’s what you should know:
- Who files: In Massachusetts, the personal representative (executor or administrator) of the decedent’s estate files the wrongful death action. Beneficiaries receive distributions according to state law.
- Time limits: Massachusetts generally allows three years from the date of death or from when the personal representative knew or should have known of the cause of action. Deadlines vary by case, so speak with your attorney about timing for your claim and potential survival actions.
- Damages: Recoverable losses can include lost income and services, loss of companionship, funeral and burial costs, and sometimes punitive damages if the conduct involved gross negligence or willful behavior. A related survival claim may address conscious pain and suffering between injury and death.
- Comparative fault: If the fault is shared, Massachusetts applies modified comparative negligence rules. The decedent’s share of fault may reduce an award, and recovery may be barred if that share is above 51%. Your attorney can explain how this affects case value.
- Insurance and defendants: Cases may involve auto insurers, property owners, manufacturers, medical providers, or employers/third parties. Available coverage often shapes case value and settlement timing.
Funding doesn’t change your legal rights or your attorney’s control over case strategy. It simply gives your family breathing room while the claim progresses.
What Pre-Settlement Funding Means in Wrongful Death Cases
Massachusetts wrongful death pre-settlement funding is a non-recourse cash advance based on the expected value of a pending wrongful death claim. Non-recourse means you only repay from the settlement or verdict proceeds. If the case does not recover money, you owe nothing back to us.
This is not a bank loan and does not require credit checks, employment verification, or collateral. Approval is driven by case strength and potential value, which we review with your attorney’s cooperation. Funds can be used for any household need, such as funeral costs, groceries, rent, transportation, childcare, or catching up on medical or credit card bills.

Eligibility For Massachusetts Wrongful Death Pre-Settlement Funding
To qualify in Massachusetts, you must have an active wrongful death claim handled by an attorney. Since state law requires the personal representative to file a wrongful death action, we work with that representative and the attorney of record to confirm case details.
We look at liability, available insurance, damage evidence, and the status of the case. If approved, wrongful death pre-settlement funding in Massachusetts can be available as soon as your attorney returns the required documents.
Once you apply, we contact your attorney to review case materials. A straightforward file tends to move fastest. We keep paperwork limited and use plain-language funding agreements.
