Lawsuit Funding

There are many different terms that refer to lawsuit funding. This term refers to litigation funding, litigation financing, lawsuit settlement funding, pre settlement lawsuit funding, lawsuit cash advance and settlement funding. The term can be defined in many different ways depending upon the type of funding that is being requested.

When we refer to lawsuit funding for car accidents we refer to a lawsuit loan or lawsuit loans. Car accident lawsuit funding is that of pre settlement funding or loan against future compensation against a settlement. Unlike a standard loan, lawsuit funding for a car or automobile accident is paid back by the plaintiff only if he or she receives a cash settlement. This is also commonly referred to as non-recourse funding.

When LawLeaf processes applications for lawsuit funding for car accident victims we understand the importance of getting cash immediately, however, we also understand that people are always looking for the best type of funding possible. That is why LawLeaf works with a network of lawsuit funding lenders that actively compete for your funding.

When a lender look at car accident cases they look at several different areas which include:
  • Whom was at fault
  • Have you hired an attorney
  • What were the extend of the injuries resulting from the accident
  • What is the estimated case worth
  • Have you received lawsuit funding in the past for the same accident
  • How long will the case take to settle
  • What is the strength of your case
Our lenders will also request information from your attorney. This information may include:
  • Police reports
  • Medical reports
  • Accident reports
  • Witness statements
Depending upon the lender will depend upon what information is mandatory and which is not. The most important part to understand is that our lenders receive this information directly from your attorney. This means you don't have to be involved in the process.
