Pre-Settlement Lawsuit Funding
is a term that is used by litigation finance companies throughout the
United States. Pre-settlement funding is a loan prior to a personal
injury case settling.
When a person is injured due to the negligence or wrongdoing of
another they have the legal right to file a personal injury suit
against the guilty party. The person that is injured and filing suit is
called a "plaintiff" and the person or entity that the suit is being
filed against is called the "defendant." When a person is injured
by another he or she may hire a personal injury lawyer to seek
financial compensation for damages and injuries directly related to the
accident or incident. These types of attorneys typically handle cases
on a contingency fee basis meaning they don't receive payment unless
they are successful in getting compensation for the claim. Once
you've hired a personal injury lawyer to handle your case the plaintiff
may qualify for a pre settlement funding prior to a case settling and
compensation awarded. Pre-settlement funding can be advanced prior,
during and even after a case has been won. Our lawsuit funding companies
understand even when a case is won there are always chances of appeals
which can delay a cash award. Unfortunately some insurance companies
and corporate America have deep pockets and experienced defense lawyers
that can hold up a settlement in hopes the plaintiff will accept less
money for their injuries. Like any standard loan pre settlement
funding comes with interest rates attached to the loan. However the
difference between pre settlement funding and a standard loan is that
pre settlement funding is non recourse, meaning you don't have to pay
back the lender if you don't win compensation from your personal
injury. People that apply for pre settlement advances will
oftentimes use the money to help pay for medical expenses, mortgage and
rent payments, car loans, credit card debt and living expenses. For
some plaintiffs getting a cash advance can help them keep their
personal injury case open without having to settle for less money. When LawLeaf receives an application for lawsuit funding
we immediately match you with those lenders that provide funding for
your specific case type as well as the requested amount of money you
are requesting. It is important to understand that not all lenders
provide funding for all personal injury case types as some specifically
deal with structured settlement annuity, commercial litigation funding and law firm loans. Pre
settlement funding can take less than 24 hours and in some cases
several days depending upon how quickly our lenders can get the
appropriate documentation from your lawyers. If you are currently
