Lawsuit Loans and Personal Injury Lawsuits Go Hand-in-Hand
Typically, lawsuit loans are given to plaintiffs who are involved in a personal injury lawsuit and awaiting settlement. These cases are known for dragging out indefinitely – often for months or even years. While you may be tempted to just “give in” and accept what the insurance company is offering, litigation financing can help you avoid this. How? By offering you an advance against your pending settlement, so that you can pay those household bills, medical expenses and other obligations that are piling up.
With lawsuit loans, your expected settlement is your collateral, so there is no need to put up your home or other valuable assets. You only repay the litigation financing company at the time you have your money in hand; if you have a structured settlement, the payments you receive can be used to repay the funding company. This way, you are never burdened with out-of-pocket expenses or monthly payments.
Since lawsuit loans are non-recourse, you have no worries about how you will repay the litigation financing company should you lose your case. In this event, you owe absolutely nothing at all. Funding companies carefully review the merits of your lawsuit, and do not accept frivolous suits; therefore they are reasonably certain you will be awarded your settlement before approving your application.
Personal injury lawsuits tend to drag out indefinitely; while your attorney is fighting hard to ensure that you are justly compensated, you find that your money is fast dwindling away and you are having a tough time paying the bills. Because of the time spent in court or loss of ability to work due to your injuries, your income is reduced, but the bills are still there – including additional medical expenses. Lawsuit loans are a good way to overcome the financial stress and live normally while awaiting your settlement.
No up-front costs to you, no risk. There are no credit or background checks or employment verification to worry about – the only criteria used in determining whether you qualify are the merits of your case. If approved, you can have the money you desperately need, usually the next business day. When you need money immediately and do not want to settle with insurance companies for less than you deserve, talk to your attorney about lawsuit loans. Litigation financing is one option for those who want to avoid financial disaster, and who want to make those responsible for their injuries pay in full.
