Get Financial Help Before Your Legal Issues Settle

Pursuing a civil case can take months — even years. In the meantime, your bills, rent and living expenses can quickly pile up. If you’re involved in a civil suit and need money for bills and living expenses, we can help. We’ll connect you with a company that can get you pre-settlement funding to help you stay afloat until your legal case resolves.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Works

Pre-settlement funding is a way for you to use some of the money potentially coming to you from a personal injury claim early. We’ll put you in touch with a company that will review your case and offer to provide you with a portion of your expected settlement now. Since you won’t owe anything unless you receive a settlement, these are not loans. Instead, the company is purchasing a percentage of what they think you’ll receive once your lawsuit is settled.

After speaking with one of our agents about your case, we’ll put you in contact with a pre-settlement funding company. They’ll review your case and contact your attorney with an agreement to purchase a percentage of your expected settlement.

After going over the company’s offer, you send the signed agreement back to the pre-settlement funding company and then they send the funds directly to your attorney’s office. Once you finalize your settlement, the company receives the portion of the settlement that they purchased. The amount they receive varies on the deal you agree to.

If, for some reason, you don’t receive a settlement, you don’t have to pay the money back to the funding company. This makes pre-settlement funding an attractive alternative to traditional lending options.

How much assistance can my client request?

After legal fees, the companies we work with usually will not purchase more than 15-20% of your clients expected recovery. This is to help prevent hindering your ability to negotiate a settlement.
