Funding for medical negligence claims
Medical negligence claims are some of the longest-running in Australian personal injury law. We provide funding so financial pressure doesn’t force a poor settlement.
What this funding is for
Med-neg matters often require multiple expert reports, specialist liability opinions and protracted negotiations. 2–5 year claim durations are common. Lawfunder steps in to cover essentials while the case runs — with non-recourse terms so you carry no financial risk if it doesn’t resolve in your favour.
Common situations we fund
- Failed or delayed diagnosis affecting your ability to work
- Surgical or anaesthetic complications requiring ongoing care
- Birth injury claims where the family’s normal income has collapsed
- Aged care or hospital negligence affecting a dependent
- Cosmetic or dental procedure that went wrong
Frequently asked questions
Can you fund while expert reports are still being obtained?
Yes — in fact this is often when funding helps most. Your lawyer’s assessment of the case is the key input to our decision.
How is repayment handled if the case settles in stages?
Repayment of the loan plus accrued interest happens at the final settlement distribution under the Irrevocable Authority your lawyer signs. Interim payments don’t trigger repayment.
What if I’m bringing a claim on behalf of a child or family member?
Talk to us. We can fund claims under guardianship or litigation-guardian arrangements; the loan agreement is structured accordingly.
