When a plaintiff files a personal injury lawsuit, they hope to win a settlement or a judgment. It can take months, or even years, to go through the appropriate legal channels to finalize your case. Meanwhile, you need cash to cover your living expenses. You can use pre-settlement funding, a cash advance, to pay your bills on your pending case instead of applying for a loan.
Pre-Settlement Funding Basics
A loan is money you would borrow from a financial institution with the expectation that it will be paid back in a certain period of time. Pre-settlement funding is when a portion of the expected court award or settlement is sold in exchange for an advance. This means that the pre-settlement funding company will give the plaintiff money now with the understanding that the money will be repaid once the case has settled. The case’s expected outcome will determine how much funding a plaintiff can receive as part of their pre-settlement advance. This type of funding is also non-recourse. If the plaintiff cannot settle their case or lose the case entirely, they will not have to repay the settlement company.
Financial Assistance When a Plaintiff Needs It Most
If you are planning to file a lawsuit or have already filed, it may be years before your case is resolved in court. Litigation is not only time-consuming and stressful, but it is also a significant financial burden. A plaintiff may be accruing daily living expenses and medical bills while they are waiting for their settlement check. They may also be incapacitated and not able to work. Until their case is resolved, they will have trouble making ends meet due to lost wages.
You can’t ignore your financial obligations while you are waiting for a personal injury case to move through the courts. Life stops for no one, regardless of a person’s ability to pay their bills.

Choosing the Right Funding Company
When selecting a pre-settlement company to work with, there are several things you need to consider:
- Make sure the company operates in your state. They should be licensed to do business in your state, even if they aren’t located there.
- Compare offers from several different companies. All pre-settlement companies offer different percentages of predicted settlement amounts.
- Prior to receiving your settlement funds, you need to ask each company how much interest you will be charged every month. This is very important as it will directly impact the amount of money you could receive after your case has been resolved.
- Compare how frequently the interest is compounded. A weekly or daily compounded interest term will cost you more than an extended compounded term, even if everything else is equal.
Regardless of how bad your financial situation is, you want to compare offers to ensure that the decision you make best suits your needs. If you’re unsure about what everything means, you can speak with a financial advisor or an attorney. A respectable pre-settlement funding company should also have a five-star customer service team that can clearly explain everything in a way that will help you make sense of it all, so you will have a better understanding about what you are getting into.
