If your case is past the demand stage and now in active litigation, lawsuit funding can advance cash against the settlement or verdict you're working toward. Non-recourse, with no payments until the case resolves.
Lawsuit funding applies to cases that have moved past initial settlement negotiations and into formal litigation. By this stage, your attorney has filed a complaint, the defendant has answered, and discovery is underway, in mediation, or scheduled for trial. Cases at this stage typically have stronger documentation, clearer damages, and a more predictable timeline — all of which often make funding easier to approve and on better terms.
The structure is identical to pre-settlement funding: a non-recourse cash advance against your future case proceeds, with no monthly payments and no obligation to repay if you lose. What changes is the underwriting picture. By the time a case is in active litigation, we usually have more documentation to work with, and we can often offer larger funding amounts.
Litigation is slow. Even straightforward car accident cases can take 12 to 24 months from filing to resolution, and complex cases (severe injuries, contested liability, commercial defendants) often run longer. During that period, the financial pressure on plaintiffs is unrelenting, and that pressure is exactly what defense attorneys and insurance companies count on to drive down settlements.
Funding is most valuable when you're facing a multi-month or multi-year wait, your medical treatment is ongoing, and the lowball offers are starting to feel tempting. With cash in hand, that temptation eases. You can let your attorney run the case the way it should be run, not the way your bills are forcing you to.
Lawsuit funding requires your attorney's cooperation. They sign an acknowledgment of the lien, provide case documentation for our underwriting review, and handle the disbursement at settlement. None of this involves them taking on personal liability or guaranteeing the funding — they're an administrative party to the agreement, not a co-signer.
Most personal injury attorneys are familiar with legal funding and have referred clients before. If your attorney has questions, we're happy to walk them through the process directly.
