NVC participates in pre-litigation settlement funding. Litigants and/or their attorneys, prosecuting personal injury, wrongful death, medical malpractice and products liability lawsuits, are often faced with financial constraints while a case is pending, which frequently causes a plaintiff to accept an early settlement offer for less than the value of a case. Advancing funds to a plaintiff allows a plaintiff and his/her attorney to hold out for a more favorable settlement or verdict. Cases are evaluated by consultants and experienced attorneys and funds are allocated amongst a number of cases, minimizing risk. And where funds are advanced, an irrevocable lien and security interest are granted against claim proceeds. Pre-Litigation Settlement Funding is a short term alternate asset deployment strategy, which can generate a steady, fixed income stream.
