Tide You Over
With more and more families living paycheck to paycheck, any interruption to that paycheck can put a family in crisis.
My Uncle Mike was on his way home from work back in June when another driver crashed into his car and put him in the hospital for a week. He has been going to physical therapy three times a week and taking lots of medications. And obviously he isn’t able to work right now. So in cases like this, who pays the bills while he can’t work?
People seem to think that the car insurance companies are going to help you. In reality, the insurance company might help get the car fixed, but they aren’t going to help make the house payment and keep the utilities on, buy the prescription medications and take care of all the daily things for my Uncle.
At least Uncle Mike found out about a company that helps front you some money while your lawsuit is pending. They work with your lawyer to evaluate your case and if they think you are going to win in court they provide pre-settlement funding so you have money to pay the bills and get by until you can go back to work. You can apply right online and get an answer quick, and for lots of people this is a lifeline for desperate times.
Not everyone has access to a lot of cash for emergencies and of course accidents can happen at the worst possible time. So at least there are some places that can help tide you over. I’m writing about it here so if I ever have a problem I can come back here to find the link and get in touch with this company.
