Washington Litigation Funding Services

Many lawyers who do not work for large, multi-partner law firms can occasionally find it difficult to finance their caseload. This should not discourage the individual or freelance attorney from doing everything possible to provide their clients with the diligent and meticulous counsel they deserve. Your clients deserve the professional and skillful advocacy they need to aid in rebuilding their lives after the significant disruption that severe injuries bring. 

Rockpoint Legal Funding is pleased to offer the financial support that small firms and independent lawyers need to provide their clients with unmatched, thorough advocacy to rival Big Law. With the litigation funding we can offer to our clients, you can support your clients by securing expert witnesses, sourcing forensic specialists, and resourceful investigators. Contact our well-versed representatives today to learn more about the Washington law firm services that we can offer.

A Short Outline of the Litigation Services We Can Provide 

The benefits of financial support offered by our Washington legal funding can propel solo attorney and their clients onto a level field with some of the largest law firms. Like the desire to shop at local, family-owned businesses, some clients prefer to hire smaller firms or individual attorneys so they may avoid feelings of insignificance or unimportance. When your clients are trying to recover from catastrophic injuries and damages, making them feel valued and respected can assist the merit of your client’s case.  

Litigation Funding for Law Firms

Increasing your effectiveness as an attorney, litigation financing can help your ability to serve your client on par with large corporate practices. Solo lawyers and smaller firms can often be concerned that their credit score may make it difficult to secure the necessary resources to provide the defense their clients deserve. Rockpoint Legal Funding prides itself on our ability to adequately support freelancers and smaller practices by offering non-recourse loans that will only need to be repaid if and when they are victorious in court. 

Pre-Settlement Funding and Lawsuit Loans

Your clients may find themselves suffering even more than their injuries due to their inability to provide for themselves and their families. Non-recourse lawsuit loans from Rockpoint Legal Funding can help boost their spirits so they can pay rent, cover their utility expenses, and put food on their tables. These loans can increase their confidence in you since the loan will only need to be paid back when you win their case. 

Post-Settlement Loans

As an attorney, you know that after you are successfully in court, insurance companies and defendants sometimes drag their feet in remitting the payment they are legally obligated to pay. Our post-settlement legal funding can hold your clients over until you eventually receive their compensation. Once that payment is deposited, you can accept your attorney’s fees and repay their loan so they can finally begin to rebuild their lives.

The Application Process and Legal Concerns to Be Addressed 

To apply for litigation funding services, you only need to meet a few basic requirements. As a plaintiff, you must be 18 years of age, have retained a dedicated and reputable lawyer, and have a pending case with the expectation of financial compensation. The requirements for attorneys seeking financial support to aid your client are similar and can be discussed with our representatives. 

Statute of Limitations in Washington 

As an attorney, you are likely already aware of Washington’s RCW §4.16.080, which states that personal injury lawsuits must be filed within three years of the incident’s date. You are probably also aware that this time limit can be tolled or paused if your client is under 18 years of age or your client’s injuries were not diagnosed until later. This can potentially extend that limit to the date of your client’s diagnosis or when they reach the age of 18. 

Washington State Follows the Doctrine of Pure Comparative Negligence 

Also known as Contributory Fault, your client should be informed that if the defendant can prove your client was partially responsible for their injuries, their compensation could be reduced by a rate corresponding to their percentage of responsibility. This is outlined in the Washington State Legislature’s Chapter 4.22 RCW and should certainly be considered when filing legal action. This may affect the amount of litigation financing you can receive to assist your client.
