A pre-settlement lawsuit advance provides plaintiffs with access to cash while their legal case is still pending. Instead of waiting months — or sometimes years — for a case to resolve, individuals can receive funds upfront to help cover living expenses, medical bills, rent, or other urgent financial needs. This type of funding is not a traditional loan; it is an advance against the potential proceeds of a future settlement.
What makes pre-settlement funding unique is that it is non-recourse, meaning repayment is contingent upon a successful outcome. If your case settles or results in a recovery, the advance is repaid from the proceeds. However, if you lose your lawsuit, you are not personally obligated to repay the advance.
