You Deserve the Most from your Lawsuit



The most powerful weapon to overcome in any lawsuit is a defendant's financial advantage. Who has the most money should never come into play, but unfortunately it often does. When insurance companies deny, delay, and defend a claim, it can take years to reach a settlement. For a cash-strapped plaintiff, this can be devastating. Injuries may have left the plaintiff unable to work and unable to pay even daily living expenses. The longer the insurance company drags its feet, you begin to feel like David going up against Goliath. While our justice system may not be perfect, when you find yourself in financial straits and are ready to settle just to make ends meet, lawsuit funding may be the answer so you can continue the fight for justice and the compensation you deserve.

What is lawsuit funding? Lawsuit funding is a means to level the playing field with deep-pocket defendants. Simply put, a legal finance company provides you with a cash advance on the money you will receive once your case settles, without a long delay and no strings attached. This type of funding is known as non-recourse, meaning that you owe nothing until your case has settled, and if you lose your case, the repayment is waived.

Lawsuit funding is clearly worth consideration for any plaintiff struggling financially while waiting for a settlement or verdict in a pending personal injury lawsuit. All that is needed to qualify is legal representation, a strong case and a financial need. There are no upfront fees, no monthly payments and no interest charges. Furthermore, financial history has no bearing on whether or not you can receive funding. The fastest way to get started is by completing an online funding application. This takes five minutes or less. Once received, we will request case documentation from your attorney. After evaluating the case, if you application is approved, both you and your attorney will sign a funding agreement. We will, then, wire the money directly into your bank account within 24-48 hours. The cash advance is for you to use as you wish, and you don’t owe us anything until you win or settle your case and your attorney receives your case proceeds.

If you have a personal injury claim and urgent financial needs, take the first step to financial relief, and getting the most from your lawsuit, by applying for lawsuit funding.

A Lawsuit Cash Advance Helps Pay the Bills



While settling a personal injury lawsuits is gratifying, often times it does not come without feeling financially hopeless. To provide some relief during a lengthy litigation process, lawsuit funding may help pay the bills and get back on your feet.

Personal injury cases can go on for months, sometimes years. Your lawyer may be involved in lengthy negotiations with the insurance company or pre-trial discovery; the insurance company may be denying or delaying claims. Whatever the delay, life still goes on and bills must be paid. If injuries left you unable to work, you may be falling deeper and deeper into debt. While friends and family may be able to help, they can only do so much. Applying for a bank loan is an option, but that requires collateral, credit checks, employment, and monthly payments.  Litigation funding companies require none of these because a lawsuit cash advance is provide solely on case merit. Additionally, the funding company is only repaid once the lawsuit settles. If you lose the case, a reputable company will not require repayment.

Applying for a personal injury lawsuit loan is a relatively simple process; finding the right funding company for you may be a little more difficult. First you will need to have retained an attorney.  Your attorney may be able to recommend a funding company, but you should always do your own research select a reputable company with a long history of lawsuit funding. Be certain that the company you choose has experience and a good reputation.
The cash advance you are able to receive depends on your case – the projected settlement and how much is necessary to meet your critical needs until the case settles. It is always recommended that you accept only what you absolutely need. While there are no restrictions on how to use a lawsuit cash advance, the most important benefits are to help make the mortgage or rent payments, auto payments, and medical bills as well as daily living expenses such as transportation costs, groceries, and utility bills

Don’t keep struggling to make ends meet.  At Lawsuit Financial, our experienced underwriters will examine and review your case once we receive your application and supporting case documentation.  With our quick turnaround time, you can start paying outstanding bills in as little as 24 hours.

Litigation Funding When it Matters Most



Dangerous roads can be the cause, or one of several factors, leading to an auto accident.  Such conditions can include poor maintenance, poor design, hidden road signs, or the absence of signs and traffic controls. Proving a dangerous roadway caused an auto accident can be a long legal process and difficult to prove; government bodies have strong defenses put in place. It is imperative that you discuss your options with an experienced attorney. If it is determined that a cause of action exists for a lawsuit and you need financial assistance, litigation funding may be a short-term solution.

A two-vehicle accident in Oley Township, PA took the life of an 18-year-old less than two months before her high school graduation. The accident happened just before midnight at the intersection of Oley Turnpike Road and Route 662 when a 19-year-old traveling westbound on Oley Turnpike Road failed to stop at a stop sign, crossing into Route 662. His vehicle was struck by a car traveling southbound on Route 662 in which the 18-year-old was a passenger. She was killed on impact and pronounced dead at the scene. Both drivers and all other passengers escaped with minor to moderate injuries. The deceased victim was not wearing a seatbelt. The accident is still under investigation.

Residents said the intersection is known to be dangerous, yet neither the township nor PennDot have done anything. It has been the site of numerous accidents, including one in November 2006 that claimed the lives of five adults and an unborn child. Below shows the westbound approach to the intersection in which it appears the stop sign is hidden by a pine tree.  A motorist approaching the intersection at midnight may find it even more difficult to spot.

An experienced auto accident attorney would be beneficial to the victims involved in this incident.  In addition to investigating the liability of the drivers, an attorney can retain accident reconstruction specialists, roadway engineers, etc. to examine roadway conditions and determine if dangerous road conditions were a factor.  Whether driver negligence, dangerous road conditions, or a combination, an attorney can pursue a claim so victims receive compensation they deserve. A personal injury settlement can also help to offset funeral expenses and provide non-economic damages for pain and suffering.

While the case will most likely take time to reach a settlement, if the family of the deceased needs financial support, Lawsuit Financial is here when it matters the most. We understand that auto accident lawsuits can take months, even years to settle and many people on a fixed income won’t have enough money to keep the case going. Rather than struggling financially during an already difficult time, we can offer a non-recourse cash advance against the pending claim. Unlike a bank loan, Lawsuit Financial requires no credit check, employment verification or monthly payments. Our application take five minutes and funding approvals can be made in less than a day, provided we receive the necessary case documentation to determine case strength and make a funding decision. The only payment our clients make is when their case successfully settles. If the case is lost, the repayment is waived.
