Defective Product
Claim Funding.

Defective product claim funding is case-based legal funding that may be available to qualifying represented claimants with pending product-related civil claims. FCA reviews funding eligibility with counsel and does not determine whether a product is legally defective.

Potentially. FCA may review qualifying represented defective product claims on a case-by-case basis. Approval, amount, cost, terms and availability depend on the individual claim and jurisdiction.

Qualifying represented matters may involve allegations concerning defective design, manufacturing defects, inadequate warnings or instructions, consumer products, automotive products, machinery, equipment or other allegedly defective products.

Potentially. Claims involving industrial machinery, workplace equipment or commercial products may be reviewed when there is a qualifying third-party civil claim. The applicable legal theory and available remedies depend on the facts and jurisdiction.

Applicants generally need to be represented by an attorney because FCA coordinates with counsel to verify information about the pending claim.

No. FCA evaluates funding eligibility. The claimant's attorney determines the legal theories, defendants and remedies that may apply to the underlying product claim.

FCA's legal funding review focuses primarily on the underlying pending claim rather than traditional consumer credit underwriting. Eligibility is evaluated case by case.

Available funding varies by matter and may depend on anticipated recovery, potential liability, damages, available recovery sources, case status, existing advances and other case-specific factors.

Timing depends on the individual matter and how quickly required information can be verified with counsel.

FCA reviews qualifying matters across its service network. Product liability law, funding availability and permitted terms vary by jurisdiction, so eligibility is determined for the individual claim.
