Questions, answered

It's okay to ask.

This is probably your first lawsuit — and your first time hearing about lawsuit funding. Here are the questions people ask us most, in plain words.

Request funding →
What is lawsuit funding?+

It's money you can get now, while you wait for your case to settle. You may also hear it called pre-settlement funding or plaintiff funding. It's repaid out of your settlement when your case resolves.

Is it a loan?+

Generally, no. In most states it isn't considered a loan — we purchase an interest in the potential settlement of your case. There are no monthly payments to make while you wait.

What if I lose my case?+

If you don't win, you don't pay. The funding is non-recourse — you keep the money you received, regardless of the result of your claim.

What can I use the money for?+

Everyday life: groceries, rent or mortgage, car payments, utilities and other personal bills — as well as medical bills and transportation to and from your doctor.

How much can I get?+

It depends on the strength and size of your claim, and on what you actually need. We'll talk it through with you and your attorney.

Who can request funding?+

Anyone with a pending legal claim — like a car accident or a slip-and-fall injury — who is represented by an attorney.

Will this affect my credit?+

The decision isn't credit based. We evaluate your case, not your credit history.

Give your case the time it needs.

A fair settlement takes time. Lawsuit funding helps you wait for it — without falling behind on the bills that can't wait.

"Lawsuit loans" is a commonly used term for legal funding; however, in most states legal funding is not considered a loan. Some states do treat the funding as a loan. Funding amounts and availability depend on your case and your state.
