Plaintiffs in lawsuits over Zyprexa get "no risk" lawsuit loans to make up for financial gaps
"No one cares much about how an injured person will get by while waiting for their case to be settled. The legal system tends to hurt people who can't afford to wait for their money."
- Gerry Cohen, head of the Boston Bar Association's Ethics Committee
With these words, millions of people in the U.S. get to see for themselves how accurate Mr. Cohen's assessment of the legal system is. This is especially true for the thousands of people who have been hurt by Ely Lilly's drug Zyprexa.
Merrit Salyer, a litigant, says, "Zyprexa ruined my life." She will be one of the first people to get a lump sum settlement from the new $700 million settlement announced last Thursday by Eli Lilly, the company that makes Zyprexa. Salyer says that in the two months he took Zyprexa, he went through "extreme physical and mental suffering." "All I can say is that Zyprexa stole my health, and it nearly killed me. I spent two weeks in a trauma unit from diabetic ketoacidosis, where I almost died, and now I live with complications from diabetes for the rest of my life," he says.
Salyer says that the costs that hurt plaintiffs have to pay are much higher than the pain and suffering "Your injuries change everything, including the way you live. You just can't keep making the same amount of money. When you add in future credit and borrowing, you start to see the real long-term effects that no one thinks about, which is why people who have been hurt need help in many ways to get better."
Is there a way out? 1st Choice Funding helps Zyprexa plaintiffs in many ways, and one is by giving them cash now, when they need it most, instead of when the settlement is finally reached. The programme is called "No Win...No Pay... No Risk" Lawsuit Loans, and it gives Zyprexa litigants the chance to get cash before the settlement, even if they have bad credit, don't have a job, can't make monthly payments, or have nothing to put up as collateral. This is true no matter how long the Zyprexa settlement takes.
"No Risk, No Win, No Pay" Lawsuit loans aren't a normal part of the way banks and other traditional lenders lend money. "1st Choice Funding's Lawsuit Loans aren't really loans at all, and that's why we don't use traditional methods to decide on funding," said 1st Choice Funding company president Timothy S. Gray. "Consumers call them loans, but they're really just advances on future settlements, and traditional lenders don't understand that."
What does Salyer, a person who was hurt by Zyprexa, think about the chance to get money now vs. the long time it will take for the plaintiffs to reach a settlement? Salyer says with conviction, "It's about time Zyprexa did something good for us. I think it's a great programme, and I recommend it to everyone who needs money like my family and I do. It's been a godsend for us."
1st Choice Funding's resources offer "No Win...No Pay...No Risk" Lawsuit Loans for all of these types of cases, so people who were hurt by Zyprexa aren't the only ones who can get money today.
