How Taxotere Legal Loans Can Help Bridge the Gap

Drugs that are approved by the FDA must pass through rigorous testing and review processes before they are prescribed to patients. Clinical testing is supposed to ensure that pharmaceuticals will be both safe and effective for patients, but in many cases, it is discovered later on that a drug had undesirable or dangerous side effects.

Such is the case with Taxotere (docetaxel), which is a chemotherapy drug that is manufactured and marketed by Sanofi-Aventis. Now, the manufacturer is facing increasing numbers of Taxotere lawsuits filed by patients who argue that the drug caused permanent and disfiguring hair loss, or alopecia.

Since product liability litigation can take years to resolve, some of these plaintiffs may benefit from lawsuit loans.

How lawsuit loans work

Lawsuit loans are a non-recourse form of litigation funding. In other words, they are completely unlike traditional loans one might obtain from a bank or credit union. A lawsuit loan is a cash advance that is made against the promise of a future jury award or settlement. If the plaintiff obtains a favorable resolution in the case, reasonable payments may be made on the lawsuit loan. If the plaintiff loses the case, then the plaintiff will not have to repay the lawsuit cash advance.

This is similar to how some attorneys work on a contingency basis. With this arrangement, the attorney does not collect legal fees on the case unless he or she obtains a favorable jury verdict or a settlement for the client, in which case the legal fees are subtracted from the compensation.

Is a pre settlement loan right for you?

A personal injury lawsuit loan might not be right for every plaintiff. But for some who are involved with Taxotere litigation, this funding may mean the difference between continuing to pursue just compensation or settling for less than what they deserve. To determine whether a lawsuit loan might be appropriate in your situation, ask yourself the following questions:

  • Have you had trouble working since you experienced complications from Taxotere?
  • Are you still dealing with significant medical bills from your treatment?
  • Are you considering bankruptcy as a means to get out of your financial situation?
  • Are you having trouble paying everyday expenses or putting food on your table?
  • Have you felt pressure to prematurely settle the lawsuit or perhaps drop it altogether?

If you’ve answered “yes” to any of those questions or you are otherwise experiencing financial strain because of your lawsuit, then it might be worth your time to investigate legal loans. The application is free and there’s no obligation to proceed.
