Legal-Bay Pre Settlement Lawsuit Funding Expects Numerous Multi-million Dollar Settlements In Defective Takata Airbag Cases

MIAMIMarch 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Legal-Bay, The Pre Settlement Funding Company, reports today that the ongoing legal saga concerning Takata airbags isn’t over yet. Plaintiffs are still filing suit against major car manufacturers including Ford, Mazda, and Toyota, citing injuries that have resulted from faulty airbags in their vehicles.
The automotive giants have come under fire in recent years for manufacturing, distributing, and/or selling certain vehicles which contained allegedly defective air bags manufactured by the Takata Corporation. The faulty devices have ruptured upon inflation, causing damage to the vehicle and/or not deployed at all, causing injury—and in some cases death—to car occupants. Four major car manufacturers concluded a class action lawsuit against Takata with over $550 million in payouts in 2017, but additional lawsuits are currently being filed.
If you are a prospective plaintiff for that has sustained injuries due to faulty airbags or other car or truck accidents, Legal-Bay can help you. Chris Janish, CEO of Legal-Bay, says, “The Takata Airbag cases have been lingering for some time.

Burford’s Q2 Profits Surge on New Capital

By John Freund |

Burford Capital has delivered its strongest quarterly performance in two years, buoyed by a swelling pipeline of high-value disputes and a fresh infusion of investor cash.

A press release in PR Newswire reveals that the New York- and London-listed funder more than doubled revenue and profitability in the three months to 30 June 2025. CEO Christopher Bogart credited “very substantial levels of new business” for the uptick, noting that demand for non-recourse financing remains “as strong as we’ve ever seen.”

The stellar quarter follows a lightning-quick, two-day debt offering in July that raised $500 million—capital Burford says will be deployed across a growing roster of commercial litigations, international arbitrations, and asset-recovery campaigns. Management also highlighted significant progress in portfolio rotations, underscoring the firm’s ability to monetise older positions while writing new ones at scale. Investors will get a deeper dive when Burford hosts its earnings call today at 9 a.m. EDT.

Burford’s results arrive amid heightened regulatory chatter in Washington and Westminster, yet the numbers suggest the industry’s largest player is unfazed—for now—by talk of disclosure mandates and tax levies. The firm emphasised that its legal-finance, risk-management and asset-recovery businesses remain uncorrelated to broader markets, a pitch that continues to resonate with pension funds and endowments hunting for alternative yield.

For litigation-finance insiders, Burford’s capital-raising prowess and improving margins could have ripple effects: rival funders may face stiffer competition for marquee cases, while law-firm partners might leverage the firm’s deeper pockets to negotiate richer portfolio deals.
