WE MAKE IT EASY
Funding Simplified
At DMS Funding, we believe financial challenges shouldn’t stand in the way of justice. Our mission is straightforward: to provide fast, reliable funding so you can focus on your recovery, not the stress of your bills.
Why You May Need a Pre-Settlement Loan
Wrongful death cases are among the most emotionally and financially draining legal battles a family can face. Funeral expenses arrive immediately. Income from the deceased stops. Mortgage payments, utility bills, and childcare costs don’t pause for grief or litigation. Wrongful death lawsuits regularly take 12 to 36 months to resolve, and insurance companies often exploit that timeline, pressuring bereaved families into quick, undervalued settlements.
Pre-settlement funding from DMS Funding changes that equation. With lawsuit loan funding secured against your expected settlement, your family can meet immediate financial obligations without abandoning the fight for full and fair compensation. Because our funding is 100% non-recourse, if your case doesn’t win, you owe us absolutely nothing.
What Does Wrongful Death Pre-Settlement Funding Cover?
DMS Funding helps you cover:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of the deceased's income and financial support
- Mortgage or rent payments
- Medical bills incurred prior to death
- Childcare and dependent care costs
- Day-to-day living expenses during the legal process
- Transportation to attorney and court appointments
How Much Funding Can You Get?
Funding amounts are based on the estimated value of your wrongful death claim and the strength of the evidence. DMS Funding works with your attorney to determine a fair advance.

What Our Clients Say
Frequently Asked Questions
My attorney hasn't filed the lawsuit yet. Can I still apply?
Yes. You do not need a case formally filed in court to get started. As long as you have an attorney actively working your wrongful death claim on a contingency basis, DMS Funding can evaluate your situation and move quickly. You can learn more about how the process works and apply at any stage of your case.
Will taking a cash advance reduce what my family receives from the settlement?
The advance plus the agreed funding fee is repaid from your settlement proceeds when the case resolves. Your attorney handles that repayment at closing, so it comes out of the settlement rather than your pocket. Because our funding is non-recourse, you only repay if there is an actual recovery. Visit our FAQ page for a full breakdown of how repayment works.
Can more than one family member apply for funding on the same wrongful death case?
This depends on how your case is structured and your attorney’s guidance. When multiple surviving family members are co-plaintiffs, funding is typically coordinated through the lead attorney. Apply online and our team will work directly with your legal counsel to determine what is possible for your specific claim.
Does accepting lawsuit cash advance affect my eligibility for Medicaid or SSI?
A lump-sum cash advance could, in some cases, temporarily affect means-tested benefit programs depending on your state. We strongly recommend speaking with your attorney before accepting any funding if you currently rely on these programs. DMS Funding provides your attorney with full funding structure details so they can advise you properly before you commit to anything.
What happens if my wrongful death case settles faster than expected?
You simply repay the advance and the agreed fee from your settlement proceeds at closing and keep everything else. There are no prepayment penalties for settling early. Many of the cases we fund also involve other injury types, so if your family has related claims, explore our full range of funding options to see if additional support applies.
Does the defendant's insurance company find out I received funding?
No. Pre-settlement funding is a private arrangement between you, your attorney, and DMS Funding. The opposing party and their insurer are not notified and have no access to that information. It does not affect your case strategy or your attorney’s ability to negotiate the strongest possible settlement.
Is wrongful death lawsuit funding available in my state?
DMS Funding works with clients across the United States. Eligibility can vary slightly based on state regulations around litigation funding, which is another reason we collaborate closely with your attorney from the start. If you are unsure about your state, call us at 866-595-5726 and we will confirm availability immediately. You can also browse all the case types we support to get a sense of the full scope of what we fund.
What if the wrongful death case is currently in the appeals process?
Yes, we can fund cases on appeal provided you have legal representation and a reasonable basis for recovery. Appeals can take a year or more, and families should not have to wait that long for financial relief. Other families in prolonged legal battles have also found our cash for settlements option helpful when a settlement offer is already on the table but acceptance feels premature. Reach out and we will evaluate your situation directly.
