Financing of any kind always involves some amount of risk (for example, what happens if you can’t repay the loan), so it’s always important to ensure you look at all options. Turning to family and friends, government assistance, and traditional short-term loans are options we encourage clients to pursue before considering a settlement loan.

If you have exhausted other options for financial assistance, you should consider settlement funding if,

• You were injured due to someone else’s fault
• You have hired a lawyer and are suing the responsible party
• You need assistance covering living or medical expenses while your case is pending

Typical cases that qualify for settlement funding include,

• Personal injury cases (where you were injured due to someone else’s carelessness or negligence)
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Workplace/work-related accidents
• Medical malpractice
• Product liability that resulted in injury
• Premises liability (for example, you were injured due to an accident or incident in a store)
• Wrongful death (carelessness or negligence caused the death of a loved one)
