Legal Funding For A Lawsuit

What is legal funding for a lawsuit?

Legal funding for a lawsuit is a way to get part of your expected settlement money before your case ends, so you can pay bills and stay financially stable while your claim moves through the legal process. With Presettlement Funding, you receive cash based on the strength and value of your case—not your credit score or employment status—and repayment only happens if your case succeeds.

Who can get presettlement funding?

Presettlement funding is generally available to adults (18+) who have an active civil or personal injury case and are represented by an attorney. Presettlement Funding reviews your claim with your lawyer to confirm the case type, liability, and projected settlement range. If your case is strong enough, you may qualify even if you are not working or have poor credit.

Why do I need an attorney before I apply for legal funding?

You need an attorney because legal funding is based on your case value and settlement timeline, and your lawyer is the one who confirms those details. Presettlement Funding must coordinate with your attorney to verify case facts, understand expected case outcomes, and arrange repayment from your settlement once your case resolves.

How does presettlement funding work?

Presettlement funding works by evaluating your lawsuit, estimating the likely settlement, and approving a cash amount you can use now. 

After you apply, Presettlement Funding contacts your attorney, reviews the case file, and makes a funding decision. If approved, you receive money quickly in 24 hrs, and repayment comes only from your future settlement.

How much legal funding can I get and how are fees calculated?

The amount you can get ranges from $500 – $1000,000. Funds depends on your case value, liability strength, insurance coverage, and expected timeline. 

Presettlement Funding authorizes a safe portion of the projected settlement so your case can still close fairly for you after repayment. Fees are disclosed up front in a clear contract, and you only repay if you win or settle your case.

How fast can I receive presettlement funding?

You can receive your presettlement funding directly into your bank account once your application and attorney review are complete. Presettlement Funding approves cases within hours and funds in about 24 hours. 

Timing depends mainly on how quickly your attorney can provide case documentation.

Is legal funding non-recourse and does it affect my credit?

Yes, Legal funding is non-recourse, meaning if you do not win or settle your case, you do not repay the advance. Because approval is based on your lawsuit rather than your financial profile, Presettlement Funding does not require a credit check, and your credit score is not a factor in your approval.
