What Are Pre-Settlement Loans in South Dakota?

Pre-settlement loans, sometimes referred to as “lawsuit loans,” give folks in South Dakota some breathing room while they wait for their cases to settle. These funds are designed to help with everyday costs—rent, groceries, that unexpected car repair—during what can be a stressful (and often lengthy) legal process.

What makes Northstar’s pre-settlement funding in South Dakota different is our non-recourse structure. This means if your case doesn’t pan out in your favor, you won’t owe us a penny. It’s our way of taking the financial risk off your shoulders, so you can focus on your recovery and legal battle without that nagging sense of “What if it doesn’t work out?”

Types of Cases We Fund in South Dakota

We help fund a range of personal injury and civil cases, including:

  • Car Accidents: Especially serious on high-traffic corridors like I-90 and US-83.
  • Truck Accidents: Unfortunately common near major transport hubs in Sioux Falls.
  • Motorcycle Accidents: Riders often frequent scenic stretches in the Black Hills or near Mount Rushmore National Memorial.
  • Slip-and-Fall Incidents: Injuries that can happen in busy tourist areas such as Deadwood or Custer State Park.
  • Workplace Injuries: An all-too-frequent concern in South Dakota’s agricultural and construction industries.

We also fund cases involving medical malpractice, product liability, wrongful death claims, and employment disputes. Our lawsuit loans in South Dakota are designed to help you hold out for the compensation you rightly deserve.

South Dakota Laws and Legal Funding Regulations

South Dakota has specific guidelines that may affect your case—and by extension, your funding:

  • Statute of Limitations: There’s a 3-year limit on filing personal injury claims (see South Dakota Codified Laws § 15-2-14). If you’re approaching that deadline, you’ll want to act sooner rather than later.
  • Comparative Fault Rule: Under South Dakota’s modified comparative negligence system, you can still collect damages as long as you’re less than 50% at fault for the accident.

At Northstar, we’re careful to follow all South Dakota consumer finance laws. We pride ourselves on fair, upfront practices that meet every legal requirement.

Loan Amount and Usage

Depending on your case’s worth, we offer lawsuit loans in South Dakota ranging from $1,000 to $1,000,000. You can use the money for:

  • Medical bills (including physical therapy or follow-up visits)
  • Rent, mortgage payments, or utility bills
  • Groceries or other everyday needs
  • Vehicle repairs or loan payments

We won’t tell you how to spend your funds. Our priority is to help you stay afloat until your settlement comes through—so you can focus on your health, family, and case.

Flat Interest Rates & Transparent Terms

Our interest rates start at 2.5% per month, with none of those hidden fees that seem to materialize out of thin air. And in the event your case does not lead to a settlement, you owe us absolutely nothing. It’s that simple.

Repayment Process

We like straightforward. Once your case settles, your attorney will send us the agreed-upon repayment from your settlement. You’ll never have to mail checks or keep tabs on confusing payment schedules. If you don’t win, there’s nothing to repay.

Legal Funding vs. Traditional Loans

When you’re deciding how to handle a financial squeeze during a pending lawsuit, here’s how our pre-settlement funding compares to a traditional bank loan:

 

Traditional Loan Legal Funding (Non-Recourse)
Requires credit checks No credit check required
Fixed repayment obligations Pay only if you win your case
Affects your credit score No impact on credit score
Requires proof of income/assets No income or asset verification

How to Choose the Right Legal Funding Company

Picking a provider isn’t just about rates. It’s also about trust. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  1. Reputation: See what past clients have to say, and look for testimonials related to South Dakota cases.
  2. Transparency: Companies that hide fees or duck questions aren’t worth your time.
  3. Local Expertise: It helps if the funding company understands South Dakota’s legal landscape and the nuances of local courts.
