  • Quick funding, often the same day you are approved.
  • Simple process, we work with your attorney
  • Cancellation window / rescission (you mention 5 days)
  • Low rates starting at 2.95% monthly

How personal injury settlement loans work.

A personal injury loan, also known as a lawsuit cash advance or legal funding, provides a risk-free cash advance against your future settlement. This type of funding helps you manage living expenses, medical bills, and other costs while awaiting your injury claim resolution.

All financing from Baker Street Funding is non-recourse, meaning your attorney repay us from your personal injury settlement or judgement. If your case doesn’t result in compensation, you keep the money—no strings attached.

The application process.

Need cash before your personal injury settlement? Our lawsuit loan process is quick and easy, with funds available within hours of approval.

Apply

Apply online or by calling (888) 711-3599. Provide basic data about your accident and personal injury case. A funding expert will then contact you to complete the qualification. No credit checks.

Review

Upon acceptance, underwriting will contact your attorney to review your damages and evaluate the case strength and potential settlement amount. This takes 24 to 48 hours.

Funds

After approval, you and your legal representative will sign the funding contract. Upon execution, you’ll receive the funds the same day.

Documents we typically require are:

  • Police report, expert reports.
  • Doctor visits and medical records (e.g. ER, injections, MRI, surgery).
  • Defense insurance policy.
  • Potential liens attached to your settlement.

How much can I get from a personal injury settlement loan?

A personal injury settlement loan (also called a lawsuit loan or pre‑settlement funding) is based on your case value — not your credit score.

Most funding companies advance only a portion of what your claim may be worth, because the case still has risk.

Your offer usually comes down to a few real-world factors:

  • Liability: How clear it is that the other party is at fault.
  • Insurance coverage: Policy limits and available coverage matter more than “what feels fair.”
  • Damages: Medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how well they’re documented.
  • Treatment status: Ongoing treatment can affect both value and timeline.
  • Case stage: Demand sent, negotiations, lawsuit filed, trial date, etc.
  • Liens and prior advances: Medical liens, child support liens, and other claims can reduce what’s available.
  • Attorney cooperation: Most companies need basic case info from your lawyer to underwrite responsibly.

A straightforward way to think about it

If your estimated case value is $50,000, your funding amount is usually a fraction of that (10% or $5,000 as a settlement advance), not the full number.

That’s intentional — it helps keep the advance reasonable so you’re not boxed in later.

Smart tip: don’t take more than you need

With any personal injury lawsuit loan, the payoff typically grows over time. So the safest move is usually to take what covers the immediate pressure, then consider a second advance later (if available) instead of over-borrowing upfront.

What does a personal injury lawsuit loan cost?

Here’s the clean truth: a personal injury lawsuit loan isn’t priced like a bank loan.

It’s typically a non-recourse cash advance — meaning repayment usually comes from the case recovery, and if there’s no recovery, you may owe nothing (based on your agreement and state rules).

How pricing usually works

Most settlement advances use one (or a mix) of these:

  • Monthly rate (simple or compounding)
  • Flat fee schedule (set fees by time period)
  • One-time processing / origination fees (sometimes)
  • Payoff caps (sometimes)

What matters is not the label — it’s the payoff over time.

Simple vs compounding (this is where people get burned)

Simple means the cost increases in a straight line each month.

Compounding means fees can grow faster because the fee gets charged on prior fees too.

If your terms are non‑compounding, say it clearly here. If not, be direct about compounding.

Below is an example using a $5,000 advance and a 3% simple monthly rate.

Estimated payoff (simple monthly pricing):

Time Since FundingEstimated Payoff
6 months$5,000 + ($5,000 × 0.03 × 6) = $5,900
12 months$5,000 + ($5,000 × 0.03 × 12) = $6,800
18 months$5,000 + ($5,000 × 0.03 × 18) = $7,700
What you’re comparing Why it matters in personal injury cases What you should ask
Interest type (simple vs compounding) PI timelines can stretch with treatment and negotiations “Is it simple or compounding, and how often?”
Repayment cap Protects you if the case takes longer “Is there a cap, and when does it kick in?”
Fees Fees change the payoff more than people think “Any origination, underwriting, wire, or monthly fees?”
Lien awareness Liens can reduce net proceeds “Do you factor liens into the offer?”
Payoff transparency You should know the math before signing “Can I see a written payoff estimate?”

The safest move: take what you need, not what you can

With personal injury lawsuit funding, costs usually grow with time. So the most protective approach is often to cover essentials first (rent, utilities, car payment, groceries), then reassess later if your case progresses and you qualify for additional funding. Bottom line: a “good” personal injury settlement loan isn’t just a low advertised rate. It’s clear math, clear caps, no surprise fees, and terms you can understand before you sign.

Quick tips on managing finances while waiting for a personal injury settlement.

The period following an injury can be incredibly tough. Reduced income and mounting expenses can quickly erode your financial standing. Being smart with your finances can save you a lot of headaches.

1. Create a Budget and Reduce Non-Essential Spending

  • Write down all sources of income and monthly expenses.
  • Separate basic expenses (rent, utilities, groceries) from non-essential ones (entertainment, dining out) and prioritize essential payments.
  • Look for cheaper alternatives for subscriptions and shopping, such as using free streaming services or shopping during sales.

2. Negotiate with Creditors

Explain your situation to creditors and ask for payment plans or temporary relief. Some may reduce interest rates or waive fees if you demonstrate financial hardship.

3. Utilize Community Resources

  • Look for local charities, churches, or community organizations that offer financial aid, food banks, or utility assistance programs.
  • Check if you qualify for government assistance programs such as SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) or Medicaid.

4. Plan for the Future

  • Once you win, save a portion of your settlement to create an emergency fund for future unexpected expenses.
  • Consider consulting a financial advisor to help manage your personal injury settlement wisely.
