Vioxx recall lawsuit cash advances
Several people have written to us asking for advice on the Vioxx (sold as Ceoxx in some countries) lawsuit cash advance offers being made (e.g. by companies like Oasis Legal Finance and Vioxx lawyers working with such firms).
How does the lawsuit cash advance system work?
The financing firm will evaluate your case to determine if you have a high possibility of receiving compensation from Vioxx class action lawsuits. If they are satisfied and you also meet other criteria related to your credit report, they will extend an advance to you based on their calculations. Based on the time from extending a cash advance to you to the date of settlement, they will collect a fee.
Should you get a cash advance in Vioxx related litigation?
- Remember that there is no such thing as a free-lunch. For instance, if you borrow $1,000 from Oasis Legal Finance and your case takes about a year to settle, you will have to pay $1,600 to them.
- What if you do not receive any compensation? While the firm is unlikely to extend an advance to you if they have any doubt that you will not get a single penny and extend the advance much lower than the Vioxx recall lawsuit settlement, you still have to be prepared to give the money back, if need be.
- Have you considered other sources of financing if you badly need the money? May be you need to consider asset management and debt consolidation options? There are cheaper sources of money out there. If Vioxx lawsuit settlement results in a big payment for you, just wait for it to happen and then you can use that money wisely. Do not forget that several victims of mesothelioma or asbestos cancer and victims of Bhopal tragedy have yet to receive anything after more than 10 years.
- Finally, if you absolutely must, then this is an option you should explore but do your homework. Spend some time on their website analyzing their terms and conditions and only when you are satisfied you should begin the application process.
