Lawsuit Loans vs Legal Funding

If you’re here, you’ve probably been searching for a “lawsuit loan,” but what you may really need is legal funding. At first glance, many people confuse the two terms due to misusage, but they operate very differently and can have a BIG impact on how your financial future looks.

But no worries—you’re not alone. By the end of this article, you will have a clear understanding of lawsuit loan vs legal funding. Let us break it down for you:

Lawsuit Loan (aka personal loan)

/ˈlɑː.suːt loʊn/ noun

Money you borrow from the bank, corporation or individual for your lawsuit. Repayment required.

Legal Funding (aka presettlement funding)

/ˈliː.ɡəl ˈfʌn.dɪŋ/ noun

Money funded by Cartiga to help carry you through your lawsuit. If you don’t win, you don’t pay.

Personal Loan: Money borrowed from the bank must be paid back (with interest) whether you win or lose the case. 

Legal Funding: Repayment (with higher rates) is required only when you win the case. If you lose, no repayment is needed.

Personal Loan: Your credit score decides your qualification for the loan. Lower credit scores result in higher interest rates.

Legal Funding: We assess your lawsuit and decides your qualification based on the merits of the case. No credit check needed.

Personal Loan: Your credit score will greatly drop if you cannot repay the bank.

Legal Funding: Legal Funding does not have any negative impact on your credit score.
