What Pre-Settlement Funding Means For California Wrongful Death Cases
Pre-settlement funding in California is a non-recourse cash advance tied to the future value of your wrongful death claim. It’s not a personal loan. We are paid back only from a settlement or verdict, and only if your case resolves successfully. If you recover nothing, you owe nothing.
Because repayment is based on the case, we look at facts such as liability, damages, and available insurance coverage. Your credit score and employment status are not part of our review. There are no monthly payments, and funds can be used for urgent needs like rent, utilities, or burial expenses.
In California, a wrongful death claim may be brought by the spouse or domestic partner, children, and other eligible heirs. You may also see a separate “survival” claim handled by the estate for losses suffered by the decedent before death. Our team can fund cases involving either or both, depending on the facts and anticipated recovery.

Who Qualifies In California And What We Review
Eligibility for funding centers on your case, not your credit. You must have a California wrongful death claim and be represented by a licensed California attorney. We coordinate directly with your lawyer so you can focus on your family.
Common factors we consider include:
- You have a pending or soon-to-be filed California wrongful death claim.
- You are represented by a California attorney who agrees to cooperate.
- There is evidence supporting liability for the death.
- There is insurance coverage or assets to pay a settlement or verdict.
- The projected value of the claim supports the requested advance.
We work with cases across California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, Sacramento, Fresno, and the Bay Area. Whether your case is early in the investigation or already in litigation, we can review it for potential funding.
Documents Your Attorney May Share With Us
After your attorney gives permission, we typically review case materials such as police reports, incident or accident reports, medical records related to the fatal injuries, the death certificate, insurance coverage information and policy limits disclosures, and any filed complaints or demand packages.
If a survival claim is included, your attorney may also provide probate or estate documents to clarify who has the authority to act in the survival claim.
Our California Funding Process From Application To Cash
Getting started is simple and free. You complete a short application online, and we contact your attorney for case details. We never ask you to track down documents on your own; our team handles that directly with the law firm.
Once we receive information from your attorney, our underwriters evaluate the case. Decisions are typically made promptly, often within 24–48 hours of receiving the file. If approved, we will send plain-language documents for e-signature to you and your attorney. After signatures, funds can be delivered by wire or ACH.
There are no upfront fees and no monthly payments. Repayment happens from settlement proceeds after attorney fees and case costs are resolved. If the case does not result in a recovery, you owe nothing back to us.

Costs, Rates, And Repayment On Non-Recourse Funding In California
Legal funding carries pricing that reflects our risk, since repayment only occurs if the case resolves with money for you. We offer straightforward terms with clear pricing. Rates are typically stated monthly, with accrual beginning after funding. Some clients choose smaller, staged advances to keep costs lower over time.
We do not charge application fees or require monthly payments. Repayment happens only from the proceeds of your settlement or judgment. If there’s no recovery, you owe us nothing. Before you sign, you and your attorney receive the agreement that sets out the funded amount, the fees, any caps or discounts, and how repayment works at disbursement.
Because fees grow over time, we encourage you to request only what you need now and discuss timing with your attorney. If your needs change, we can consider a supplemental advance once your attorney has case updates.

Practical Ways To Use Funding While Your California Claim Proceeds
Many families use wrongful death pre-settlement funding in California to stabilize their budget while the case moves forward. The goal is to reduce financial stress so you and your attorney can focus on the claim rather than quick, low offers.
Common uses include:
- Paying funeral and burial expenses
- Covering rent or mortgage payments
- Keeping up with utilities and household bills
- Paying health insurance premiums or COBRA
- Covering childcare and transportation costs
- Paying balances related to the decedent’s final medical care
There are no restrictions from us on how you use the funds. Your attorney can also help you plan around potential liens and the timing of disbursements when the case resolves.
