In order to be eligible for Lawsuit funding, you must have an attorney representing your case.  A case where a plaintiff represents themselves in considered per se representation. We do not fund “per se” cases.  In addition you will usually need a retainer agreement with the attorney that is on a contingency basis.  Clients often ask the reason for this requirement. In a nutshell the reasons are as follows.

1. Lawsuit Funding companies need a mechanism to be repaid when the case settles.
2. A contingency agreement between a plaintiff and attorney usually stipulates that the proceeds from the lawsuit will pass through the attorney trust account before distribution.
3. The attorney after paying him or herself, is “trusted’ to honor the existing liens on the case.
4. In general a lawsuit funding company will not be comfortable relying on a plaintiff to repay the loan with out an attorney having the responsibility on distributing case proceeds.

In addition to the benefits of having access to lawsuit funding, there are other benefits of having an attorney on board to pursue your claim.

1. Professional representation – The opposing Insurance companies will know that a qualified attorney expects to earn a contingency fee for representing the case. Therefore the case can be considered worthy of merit in at least one professional opinion.
2. If a lawsuit needs to be filed, a profession is already available to go through what may be a very detailed an complicated process in order to pursue the case further.
3. Having a trusted source to answer plaintiff questions. Often plaintiffs have questions about their case that they need answered.  One of the best sources of information on your case is your personal injury attorney.
4. Help in Building your case. Your personal injury attorney is trained in the best way to present your case to the defendant and to the courts

Lawsuit funding is a way to get cash now to plaintiffs suffering from the financial demands inherent in pursuing his or her lawsuit claim.  The terms of the lawsuit cash advance or “lawsuit loan” is dependent on the size and nature of the incident that the case is based upon. The amount of insurance coverage is also a factor.  Often unaccounted for by the plaintiff seeking lawsuit funding is the maturity of the lawsuit under review.  This is definitely a variable that also affects the size of the advance that is suitable at any given time.

State by state laws may differ when applying a lawsuit advance, so it is very important to do your own research and obtain clarification from your attorney representing your case for more information.  Amongst plaintiffs seeking lawsuit funding, car accidents are a frequent type of claim.  The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has published that there are around 5.5 million car accidents on and annual basis.  Many of these accidents lead to serious injury and even death.

A lawsuit advance on personal injury is one of the options to overcome financial distress until settlement.  You get an upfront sum before your case settles.  Once you case settles and you win, it is only then that you pay off the amounts you owe.  If you do not win a settlement, then you do not owe anything. The proceeds of the lawsuit is the only collateral on the case.  Bad credit is ok.

Like all lawsuits, your case increases in value with documentation showing liability of the defendant, damages and adequate insurance.   If there is an offer to settle the case, this also enhances the chances of getting a pre settlement advance.
