Funding on a Verdict.

I believe one of the best times to fund a case is after a plaintiff's verdict. Obviously, an even better time would be after post-trial motions are resolved in plaintiff's favor. The point here is just because an appeal will ensue , it doesn't mean a case is not fundable.
When evaluating the case we'll look at the underlying merits of the case[liability and damages], size of verdict, last offer before verdict and whether anything raised at the time of the post-trial motions could result in the verdict being "thrown out" and the complaint dismissed. A funder is much more likely to fund a case on appeal where damages are at issue; rather than liability.
So if you have a verdict, which looks like defendants will engage in their regular pattern of delay...call me...I may be able to do something for you or your client.
