Legal Funding: Leveling the Playing Field and Giving Victims a Fair Chance
August 8, 2011
It’s hard to play a baseball game with one arm tied behind your back, but that’s often how accident victims feel when they’re trying to make ends meet. Consumer legal funding exists to help plaintiffs have a fair shot at the game. Legal funding gives money to consumers to help them pay for critical expenses such as: groceries, rent payments, car payments, and tuition when no one else is there to help. We also know that not everyone has sparkling credit. That’s ok. Oasis is going to work hard to get you the money you need.
There is a secondary benefit that consumers obtain from legal funding. That benefit is “leveling the playing field” between the plaintiff and the defendant. Unfortunately, sometimes our legal system is such that “only the strong survive.” Large companies just want to wear down the little guy until the little guy is forced to take what is offered, even when it’s not fair. It’s just business to them, but it is deeply personal to you who are involved with the case.
The other side knows that plaintiffs often will accept an offer far less than what they deserve to settle their case quickly rather than wait it out until they can settle for a fair value. Consumer legal funding enables plaintiffs to solve their immediate financial problems and wait for their attorneys to settle their cases for what they deserve and not what the other guys wants to give.
No one can play their best with one hand tied behind their back.
