Ted is like most Americans.  He works hard to provide for his family.  However, life sometimes throws a curve-ball and temporarily limits one’s ability to fully provide for their family. 

In the case of Ted, an hourly worker from Illinois, an on-the-job shoulder injury limited his ability to work full time.  Through some workman compensation benefits, and what he thought was continued health insurance coverage, he knew he could sustain some of the financial burdens he would incur from his injury and his temporary inability to work. 

It wasn’t until several months had passed when Ted shockingly discovered his health insurance had been canceled by his employer.

Upon contacting his employer about the cancellation of his health insurance policy, Ted was given two options:  Pay the exorbitant amount of $8,000 dollars in back payments, or sign up for a COBRA policy for nearly $2,000 dollars per month.  These options, of course, were financially impossible for Ted’s family to meet

With no other options to secure health insurance for his family, Ted found out about consumer legal funding through Oasis Legal Finance.  Through consumer legal funding, Ted was easily able to secure the proper resources to re-acquire health insurance for him and his family until he could get back on his feet. 

Ted, as you can imagine, was relieved, saying “[T]he entire process was effortless and was a HUGE weight lifted off [my family’s] shoulders. Thank you so much for your help. The entire process was effortless. Without your service my family would have been without health insurance for God knows how long.”

Time and time again folks are put into precarious financial situations due to injuries that often limit an employee’s ability to work while awaiting a fair and just settlement.  Thanks to consumer legal funding, these folks now have a financial lifeline.      

Funding people. Funding lives. Funding families like Ted’s. That’s consumer legal funding.

Meet Robyn – “Forever Grateful”

 Funding lives, not lawsuits.

 Consumer legal funding is about funding people and funding lives. Not lawsuits.

 Consumer legal funding can often be the only financial lifeline that exists for a citizen awaiting resolution of a legal claim or settlement. That was certainly the case for Robyn, a woman from Indiana who was injured in an auto accident.

 Working for a company that offered no short-term disability nor having accumulated enough paid leave, her recovery began to take a tremendous financial toll on Robyn and her family. Constant doctors’ appointments and a surgery that required her to take two months off from work meant that Robyn’s bills began to mount.

There were remaining payments on the car that was totaled in her accident. There was a constant threat of foreclosure on the family home. Utility bills started to pile up. And finally, a husband who unexpectedly lost his job.

Fortunately for Robyn and her family, there was consumer legal funding.  Robyn was able to obtain the resources she needed to make sure a roof stayed over her family’s head, the lights stayed on, and food was put on the table while her attorneys were able to properly finalize her settlement.

But don’t just take our word for it, take Robyn’s:  “I have no idea what I would have done without them (Oasis Legal Finance) being as attentive as they have been in seeing that our financial needs are taken care of in an expedited manner.  I’ve never worked with such a well-organized group of people when it comes to financial difficulties and finances.  They seem very sincere and always helpful when it comes to personalizing their efforts for the good of others. I’m forever grateful they are there when I need them and wish them all the best.”
