Funding For
Legal Cases
If you are involved in any phase of a lawsuit we
can potentially provide funding. In general there are three
classifications for our present funding modes;
Pre-Settlement, Appellate, and
Structured Settlements.
Pre-Settlement
Pre-Settlement
funding is best described as an ADVANCE on a POTENTIAL FUTURE SETTLEMENT.
This mode of funding generally occurs, but not restricted to, while your case is
still in discovery or early stages of the actual trail, however, judgment has
not been rendered. Funds are available for both the plaintiff and/or
attorney.
This can be used for a wide range of case related
expenses such as; securing an Expert Witness, Attorney Fees,
Out-of-Pocket Expenses which could help you with your case.
BENEFITS:
 |
FUNDING BEFORE SETTLEMENT
Funds are paid out in most cases before the trail every begins.
Often you find the discovery and pre-trails phases take weeks and months.
Meanwhile, you are incurring cost associated with lawsuit as well as
unexpected cot related to the accident or injury that triggered the lawsuit.
Funding is available to help with these cost so that you do not feel you
have to settle the case early.

|
NOT
A LOAN
Pre-settlement Funds is an advance on a potential future award and not a
loan. A loan requires monthly installment payments along with accruing
interest. These funds are repaid when the settlement payment has been
issued. If you lose the case then you do not have to repay the funds,
we take the lose.
|
|
NO
RISK
To
the plaintiff or attorney, that is. Again if you are not granted a
settlement you are not required to repay the funds that were advanced you.
As you can see we take all the risk in your case.

|
TIME
ADVANTAGE
Pre-settlement Lawsuit funding levels the playing field. Time is a
leveraging tool for the defendant. They are generally in no hurry to
settle the case because if they loose they have to pay. Therefore,
they will drag the case out as long as possible. Meanwhile, you need
to replace your car, pay medical expenses, make the mortgage payment but you
can not work because of the accident. A long trail may create
financial hardship for you since you are the one incurring additional debt
because of the circumstances that start the lawsuit. In many cases you
may be pressured by mounting bills to settle early just to get relief.

- There
are various advantages for utilizing Pre-Settlement funds, among them is the
leveling of the playing field. Remember that this is not a loan and
you do not have to pay the money back if you lose the case. As you can
see our funders are taking all the risk. This is why all cases are
looked at carefully and why fund are generally limited to a percentage of
the potential settlement. Fill out a contact

Appellate Funding
<top>
Appellate Funding
- Is were you have won the original trial and granted a judgment,
however, the defendant is appealing the case. Again money advanced at this
stage is not a loan and if you should lose your appeal you would not have to
repay any of the funds that were advanced.
Structured Settlement
<top>
Structured Settlements - In most cases
settlements are not paid out in one lump sum, they are dispersed over months and
even years. These payment can vary in size and frequency.
We can
advance fund on a couple of these payments or even all of the payments.
These funds can be used for anything you need money for, like a vacation,
college tuition, automobile, or monthly expense.
