Pre-settlement lawsuit loans

Lawsuits can end up being long and exhausting legal processes dragging victims to one of the most challenging times of their lifetime. If you are a plaintiff with a personal injury, wrongful imprisonment, or corporate litigation, it is more than likely that you are going through financial upheavals that weren’t accounted for. Unfortunately, while waiting for your pending settlement award, your financial situation could break apart your wallet. Certain factors can lead to a long settlement, such as insurer delays, court/attorney scheduling conflicts, litigation, arbitration, etc. One thing is for sure; you should not settle for less than you deserve. Many times, the offered settlement is not enough, and eventually, plaintiffs who are struggling financially end up accepting a low valued compensation. Once you receive a low ball settlement offer in this phase of your lawsuit, you forfeit the right to pursue further financial compensation.

What are the advantages of  lawsuit loans?

While we often think of borrowing from our lawsuits as a wrong move, the reality is that there are advantages to getting lawsuit loans. Some benefits include no monthly payments, no risks and potentially lower interest rates with reputable funders, and the ability to meet expenses you might otherwise have trouble covering due to your lawsuit. Lawsuit loans are not suitable for every plaintiff involved in challenging litigations, but they can be a smart move, depending on your situation. Below is what you need to know about loans against lawsuits and the potential benefits of getting one. 

Lawsuit funding has advantages that are very appealing to legal consumers who may have previously had trouble borrowing from family members or financial institutions. 

Lawsuit loans can be used for the most essential purposes.

The pre-settlement funding industry was invented roughly two decades ago – to help people like you, involved in severe cases, in your time of need. When you get a lawsuit loan, it can be used for household and emergency expenses. However, while you can use the funds for essential matters, it’s still an investment made into your lawsuit, and you might want to be wise about using your pre-settlement funds. It’s simply not smart to use them for things you want like clothes or vacations. It’s best to use your loan on your needs rather than something you don’t need; remember, this loan is coming from your lawsuit, and the money must be used accordingly.

Some of the ways you can use your lawsuit settlement loans are:

  • Pay off a credit card bill
  • Family expenses
  • Car repossession
  • Business expenses
  • Rent or mortgage

Medical expenses.

Lawsuit advances are extremely popular with personal injury victims who find themselves injured while their case is being litigated or fought in court. They can be beneficial in personal injury cases where severely hurt victims cannot work during the court process. For example, a medical malpractice victim who finds himself hurt and out of work will seek financial relief due to the sustained injuries that have caused him or her an economic fall.

Suppose you have a medical emergency or medical bills you cannot pay due to your personal injury lawsuit and are unable to pay the full cost in cash upfront. In that case, financing your litigation can be a temporary solution to keep you afloat while your case settles in court. 

You can qualify for a higher loan amount if your injuries are severe, which may be necessary for your health expenses and any other emergency matters at hand.

Fast lawsuit loans

Borrowing legal money is free of risk.

Pre-settlement loans are non-recourse loans provided to plaintiffs involved in less risky litigations. This is because if, under any circumstance, your lawsuit does not settle favorably, you won’t have to repay the funds. Not all legal loans have no risk, and some companies will charge up to 200% a year. 

You may prefer to take out a loan from a company that charges non-compounding interest rates at no more than 3.4% a month. In addition, using your lawsuit as collateral is less attractive to the defendant —that may end up questioning why you are borrowing from your lawsuit. 

Remember, just because a lawsuit loan doesn’t have any risks doesn’t mean the consequences are less dire when your settlement reaches a successful conclusion. Choose a company that won’t eat up your whole settlement when you finally get your payout. Lawsuit funders can still take all legal measures to collect from you if you sign a contract with 100-200% interest rates.

No monthly payments.

We see loans as the money we borrow that we will have to pay back monthly. Your credit history may not be good and this may affect your eligibility to get a loan from a traditional financial institution. Even if you get approved for a personal loan or a credit card loan, monthly payments and fees will put additional stress on a plaintiff that is not currently working. Legal funding advances work differently. 

These loans do not have to be paid monthly, so this takes a lot of pressure off the victim’s shoulder. The legal advance is only paid back when and if the case settles in your favor. 

Settle for more.

It’s common knowledge that insurance companies fund certain news outlets to advertise against lawsuit funding due to very few companies’ high exaggerated costs. These tactics mislead plaintiffs to settle their case for an undervalued settlement or, even worse, lose the case. One of the advantages of loans on lawsuits is that you may not have to feel pressured into settling your case for much less than you deserve because you don’t have the money to get by with your finances. 

Lawsuit funding can be a great tool to help you fight for the settlement you deserve, so you don’t settle for a lowball amount. Many times, when victims are in the middle of a lawsuit, they run out of financial options to support themselves so they can keep their cases moving forward. A loan from your lawsuit is a resource that could help you support yourself while the lawsuit goes to trial or a better payment is awarded. They could be useful as long as you understand the rate is fair for the risk that a financier takes.

Acquiring funding from your lawsuit enables you to effectively deal with the defendant’s delays, allowing you to wait for fair compensation so your attorney can negotiate a better offer.
