Burn injury pre-settlement funding.
Fire accidents, burn injuries and legal funding
Most people who have visited the beach on vacation have experienced sunburn at least once in their life. While sunburn can be painful, they are still considered minor burns. Other, much more severe burn injuries can cause muscle pain, damage to skin and bones, as well as pain from catastrophic burn injuries. Severe burn injuries can also require skin grafts and surgeries to help repair the affected area. Some damage from burn injuries may never be repaired.
When another party’s reckless or careless behavior causes someone to suffer a severe burn injury, they should be held accountable for their actions. Whether it is carelessness, or intentional misconduct, the defendant is required to reimburse the affected individual for medical expenses, pain, and suffering, as well as lost wages.
However, the more serious the burn, the more time consuming and costly your recovery could be. The truth is that burn injury lawsuit settlements that come insurance companies take a long time and rarely they even cover the medical treatment and all the time you lost from work.

Pre-settlement loan benefits for burn injury victims.
Settlement and pre-settlement funding is an investment into the outcome of your lawsuit.
At Baker Street Funding, we understand how difficult it is to get through life when one is severely hurt while your settlement takes an incredible amount of time to go through. You can take advantage of our pre-settlement funding solutions for burn victims.
Non-recourse means there is no risk
Burn injury pre-settlement funding is based on the outcome of your burn injury lawsuit settlement. There is no obligation for you to reimburse us should you lose your lawsuit, as this is not a loan. Only when you win your case or your injury lawsuit settles, whether by jury or with a settlement agreement, your attorney will repay the cash advance from the proceeds of the compensation, and you will receive the balance.
No monthly payments, no credit or employment verification
There are no monthly payments, credit checks, or job checks for you to access cash. Our investment is strictly based on the merits of your case.
Low capped simple rates
At Baker Street Funding, we are providing you with a cash advance that carries low simple interest rates. Our interest rates don’t add up on the interest every month like other companies that provide compounding rates. Our rates are also capped, meaning, if your lawsuit doesn’t settle in 3 years, the rate charge will stop in the three year mark.
Baker Street Funding’s exclusive approach has made us a leader in the settlement funding and litigation finance industries as we strive to provide, for both attorney and client, an exceptional experience.

Burn degrees.
1st degree
These normally burns only affect the top layer of your skin. These can mostly be treated at home and will turn your skin bright red.
2nd degree
These burns are more serious and not only burn through the top layer of skin but multiple layers underneath as well. The skin will also blister, which will require you to seek medical treatment for proper care.
3rd degree
These burns are the most serious type of burn and always require immediate medical care. These burns go through your skin layers and affect muscle, tissue, and even bone. Because of the extensive damage, there may be minimal pain with these types of burns, but it is imperative to immediately seek emergency medical attention.
