Ocean County Lawsuits

The sheer number of Ocean County visitors brings economic stability and diverse experiences to the area. Unfortunately, large amount of people in a small area has its downside. At the Jersey Shore, visitors and residents alike can expect more dangerous conditions on roadways and thus more accidents. This is especially true in the summer months when Ocean County tourism is at its peak. According to the NJ Department of Transportation, Ocean County had almost 12,000 crashes in 2020 and almost 15,000 in 2019. Of those crashes, over 2,600 reported injuries in 2020. Also, the large amount of business patrons in the area can lead to an increase in slip and fall type negligence claims during the tourist season.

Accidents can result in serious injuries and inevitably result in lawsuits where injured parties seek compensation for their conditions. The legal process is time consuming since the large number of cases overwhelms the courts’ ability to judge them. This condition is known as a “crowded docket” as plaintiffs can wait years before their claims resolve even if the elements of negligence are easily proven.

Unfortunately, many injured plaintiffs are no longer able to work leaving them in financial straights while they wait out the process. Insurance companies know this situation well. They often use a plaintiff’s financial condition as leverage in forcing plaintiffs to accept low-ball settlement offers simply to ease immediate financial concerns.

Ocean County lawsuit loans attempt to level the playing field and are a solution to this problem.

What is a Ocean County Lawsuit Loan?

Lawsuit loans are financial transactions where plaintiffs sell a portion of their lawsuit settlement prior to receiving them. Lawsuit funding companies advance money prior to settlement so plaintiffs can pay for living and other expenses while they wait for the case to progress. Other uses for the settlement advances might include paying for:

• past debts
• surgical and other medical treatment
• mortgage or rent
• car payments or other transportation costs
• and more. . .

In truth, lawsuit loans can be used in any way plaintiff see fit. It’s their settlement money after all, plaintiffs are just getting it prior to settlement.

Differences between loans and lawsuit loans

Lawsuit loans are not “loans” in the traditional sense since repayment depends on the plaintiff winning the case. Instead, they are a partial assignment of rights to the settlement proceeds. If the case is lost, the lawsuit loan is not repaid. The lawsuit proceeds must be the source of the repayment. A lawsuit lender cannot pursue the plaintiff personally for repayment. Ocean County lawsuit loans are non-recourse funding.
