Losing a loved one is painful, and the financial shock can arrive just as quickly as the grief. If you’re coping with funeral expenses, unpaid bills, or lost income, Wisconsin wrongful death pre-settlement funding can help you cover urgent costs while your case moves forward.
At Pegasus Legal Capital, we explain how Wisconsin personal injury pre-settlement funding works, who qualifies, what it costs, and how Wisconsin law can affect a wrongful death claim. You’ll also see how we coordinate with your attorney and how to get started without risk or upfront fees.
Financial Strain After a Wrongful Death
Most families face immediate expenses after a fatal accident or malpractice event. Funeral and burial costs, final medical bills, and mortgage or rent can stack up fast. If the person who passed away supported the household, that loss of income adds more pressure.
Wisconsin pre-settlement funding is designed to bridge that gap. You can request a non-recourse cash advance based on the expected value of your wrongful death claim. If the case resolves in your favor, the advance and costs are repaid from the settlement. If the case does not resolve with a recovery, you owe nothing.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps Families
Legal funding gives you breathing room so you and your attorney can focus on building the strongest case possible. There are no monthly payments and no credit checks because approval is based on the strength of the claim, not your credit history.
You can use the funds for everyday needs or one-time expenses related to your loss. Many families use an advance to:
- Cover funeral and burial expenses
- Pay rent, mortgage, or utilities
- Keep up with car payments and insurance
- Handle childcare or eldercare costs
- Pay for counseling or grief support
Who Qualifies For Wisconsin Wrongful Death Pre-Settlement Funding?
Eligibility centers on your active claim and your role in the case. In Wisconsin, a wrongful death claim is typically brought by the personal representative of the estate for the benefit of eligible survivors such as a spouse, domestic partner, children, or parents. If you are an eligible beneficiary or the representative working with a licensed Wisconsin attorney, you can apply.
We look at several factors when reviewing an application. These include liability facts, insurance coverage, available damages under Wisconsin law, and your attorney’s plan for the case. We do not run a credit check or ask for employment verification. If the case has merit and there is a path to recovery, you may qualify.

Wisconsin Wrongful Death Law: Deadlines, Damages, and Fault
State law shapes both the value and timing of a claim. Wisconsin allows recovery for economic losses such as medical bills and funeral costs, along with loss of financial support. Families can also pursue loss of society and companionship, which is subject to statutory caps: up to $500,000 for the death of a minor and up to $350,000 for the death of an adult.
Time limits apply, and they can vary based on the underlying cause and whether a government entity is involved. Your attorney can discuss the right deadline for your case and any notice requirements. Missing a deadline can end a claim, which is why we review timing early in the funding process.
Fault matters in Wisconsin. The state follows a modified comparative negligence rule. The decedent’s percentage of fault can reduce a recovery, and if fault exceeds the legal threshold of 51%, the claim can be barred. We factor these rules into our evaluation so the advance amount aligns with realistic outcomes.
Costs, Fees, and Repayment For Legal Funding
We believe in plain, written pricing with no hidden charges. You pay nothing up front. If your case resolves with a recovery, our portion comes from the settlement proceeds after attorney’s fees and case costs. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
Rates reflect the risk and timeline of a wrongful death case. Longer cases cost more than shorter ones, which is why many families take only what they need now and can request additional Wisconsin wrongful death pre-settlement funding later if circumstances change. Before you sign, you’ll receive clear payment examples in writing so you can make an informed decision.
Working With Your Wisconsin Attorney and Estate
Your attorney remains in control of litigation strategy and settlement talks. We never ask you to accept a quick settlement. Our role is to provide financial relief so you can afford to proceed on your timeline.
In many wrongful death matters, the personal representative of the estate manages the lawsuit, and any settlement proceeds are distributed to beneficiaries according to Wisconsin statutes and the court’s orders.
We coordinate with your attorney so that any funding agreement aligns with probate or estate procedures.
