Legal Funding

Legal funding has quickly become an important asset to both plaintiffs and attorneys involved in personal injury and commercial litigation lawsuits. Legal funding which is still considered in its infancy has provided the financial staying power for many people involved in tough and drawn out legal processes. When this type of financing first became available in the legal markets, there were only a few companies that were offering related services. Over the last several years, legal funding has become increasingly popular to plaintiffs, attorneys and investors.

The Legal Funding Company

The way legal funding is handled is similar to other financial investment vehicles. A company will generally raise capital through  private investors or banks. The money is generally lent to the company at a yearly, quarterly or monthly premium. The legal funding company will take the responsibility of lending the borrowed money to plaintiffs and attorneys that have pending lawsuits or cases which recently have been settled. Not all companies will borrow money at the same rate. The companies that borrow money for a higher premium will generally charge higher rates to their clients.

The difference between this financial vehicle compared to others is that the money that is borrowed by the plaintiff is typically done as non recourse. This means at any point of time, if the plaintiff loses a lawsuit and does not receive proceeds from their case, they are not responsible for paying back the advance. The complaint of high rates within the legal funding industry is typically due to non recourse funding. Most legal funding companies have around a 92%+ close ratio. This means that 92% of the deals they fund will eventually pay back. The other 8% is the cost of loaning money in the legal markets. The investors will take the loss.

In order for a legal funding company to stay profitable they must take in consideration the lost deals. They have to charge higher rates than other standard financial vehicles to make up for their loses. While rates tend to be higher than some other financial vehicles over the last several years the rates have become more competitive. We believe this is due to more competition and better underwriting.

Required documentation obtained by a legal funding company through your attorney

In order for a legal funding company to provide lawsuit funding to a client they must obtain documentation on the case. This documentation is used during the underwriting process of the case. A legal funding company will contact your attorney and request documentation through a fax or email. Below is an outline of the different documentation they will request by case type:

Personal Injury

• Police/Accident/Incident Report:  If none was taken, any of the following:  an internal investigative report, pictures of scene, witness statement or a description of the incident on your firm’s letterhead describing causation and theory of liability.
• Copy of the Complaint
• Important Medical Records (not all, just MRI, X-Ray & narrative reports)
• Defendant’s Insurance Information

Medical Malpractice

• Copy of Complaint
• Expert Report
• Defendant’s Insurance Information

Wrongful Termination

• Copy of the Complaint
• Proof of Damages
• Last offer made by the defendants
• Defendant’s Insurance Information

Commercial Litigation

• Copy of the Complaint
• Expert reports that address causation and the theory of liability
• Economic report of damages
• Proof of the defendant’s ability to pay this claim

Underwriting a Lawsuit

A legal funding company will generally have an underwriter(s) on staff or they will outsource the underwriting to a third party company. The underwriter will evaluate a lawsuit based upon different aspects of a case. For pre settlement funding, an underwriter will generally be interested in 3 areas of the lawsuit:

• Liability
• Ability for the defense to pay
• Amount of time it will take to reach a settlement or verdict

If you were to research lawsuit funding you would consistently hear the term “strength of case” which means the likelihood the plaintiff will receive compensation. If liability and negligence is easily identified, the defense has the money to pay compensation to plaintiff and the amount of time a settlement or a judgment will be reached is within a year, the plaintiff’s likelihood of receiving legal funding increases.

If a case has already settled or a favorable judgment has been reached

Almost all legal funding companies will provide lawsuit cash advances for cases that have already reached settlement. The term that is most commonly used for this type of financing is referred to as post settlement funding. The need for financial relief after a lawsuit settlement also exists. When a person gets a favorable ruling or a claim reaches a settlement with the defense or insurance company, proceeds will need to be paid within a certain time period. While most people believe once they win a case they will receive compensation immediately, its quite possible you may have to wait months before you receive your money. Post settlement funding is oftentimes used in dire emergency situations. A person may be in risk of losing their home or having their car repossessed. They may not have the financial capacity to continue without getting some sort of financial relief.

Underwriting a settled case

The underwriting for post settlement funding is quite easy and can be done in a very short period of time. In fact a legal funding company that provide post settlement lawsuit funding can underwrite a settled case fairly quickly. The documentation required for a lawsuit that has already settled or for a verdict includes:

• Settlement Agreement
• Net letter to client detailing what your client will receive after all liens, etc. are paid

If you are considering legal funding it should be important to contact a company that can provide you with the lawsuit funding you need at a competitive rate. Because there are a great abundance of new companies within this space, it will be advantageous to you to shop your lawsuit amongst the top legal funding companies available. There are private funds and hedge funds that may charge different rates for the same cases. Some companies prefer personal injury cases while others will look at commercial litigation claims. A legal funding company may have underwriters that prefer certain types of lawsuits while others only will fund cases in which settlement offer has been presented.

If you are considering legal funding contact LawLeaf today. We have provided legal funding services to clients throughout the United States and Canada. We have secured lawsuit funding for clients seeking as little as five hundred dollars and others that need six and seven figure advances.

Pre Settlement Funding Company

If you are searching for a pre settlement funding company begin by applying online with LawLeaf today. Pre settlement funding is a term that is referred to a cash advance against a lawsuit that has yet been settled. A company that offers pre settlement funding is oftentimes backed or partnered with hedge funds, private investors and/or banks. The money which is used to advance on such cases is done to as non recourse. This means a plaintiff will accept the loan with the understanding if he or she never receives compensation they owe nothing.

A pre settlement funding company makes money when a client receives compensation from a case and money is paid back with interest. Over the last several years we have seen many new companies enter into the industry while others that have closed their doors. There are some pre settlement funding companies that prefer personal injury claims while others will offer both personal injury advances and commercial litigation financing. A more aggressive approach which has been common amongst pre settlement funding companies is the willingness to purchase books of business from other companies. This means a company will buyout portfolios from other companies with interest. These portfolios oftentimes come from companies that have lost their funding source and are planning an exit strategy out of the litigation financing areana.

Understanding the rates:

If you decide to apply for pre settlement lawsuit funding you want the best rates available. Rates are based upon several different variables. It typically depends upon the strength of your case (is liability eminent) and how quickly a company believes the plaintiff will receive compensation. The best rates will be obtained by those cases that are about to settle, already settled or a settlement offer has been received.

If you are searching for a pre settlement funding company that can provide you with better rates and faster approvals begin by applying with LawLeaf today.

Helping Clients Obtain Settlement Advances

If you have ever gone through the litigation process before you may already know that attorneys are prohibited to lending money to their clients. If you have asked your attorney for a settlement advance and the attorney said no, there is a reason.  Attorneys are not technically allowed to loan their clients money on a pending or even settled case. It is deemed unethical and in some cases could result in disbarment from practicing law.

If you are an attorney and have been approached by your client about a lawsuit settlement advance, LawLeaf wants to work for you. At LawLeaf we understand that while litigation financing may not be the best option it certainly can provide the financial stop gap needed so you can continue on with the case. By helping your client obtain a lawsuit cash advance it will allow you more time to get full compensation for the client. Attorneys already know the games insurance companies play. Insurance companies are well aware the average person is struggling to pay their bills from day to day. They will entice the plaintiff to take the quick offer with a substantial amount than what the client deserves. In some cases they can force a plaintiff into taking a smaller amount because they aren’t financially capable of waiting.

When you work with LawLeaf you are working with a partner throughout the funding process. LawLeaf is proud to have a large network of attorneys that continuously refer their clients to our service. We provide immediate follow-up and will always do our best in obtaining the best rate for your client. We can provide your clients with funding for soft tissue injuries, catastrophic injuries, workers compensation and commercial litigation financing. There is no minimum or maximum we can obtain for your client.

If you are searching with a company that is fully transparent and can get the job done, so you can in turn get the job done for your client, begin by applying with LawLeaf today.

Pending Lawsuits

Did you know if you have a pending lawsuit you can acquire a non recourse advance against your case? There are many types of different cases that qualify for lawsuit funding for pending lawsuits. At LawLeaf we can provide funding against pending lawsuits related to most personal injury and commercial litigation claims. Pending lawsuits can take months or even years before they reach settlement, which can spell financial disaster for the victim.

The fees charged by lawsuit funding companies throughout the United States greatly vary. Companies may charge plaintiffs compounded monthly fees or a flat rate fee. If you can determine which fee makes sense for your lawsuit, you could ultimately be saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars when your case settles.

LawLeaf is one of the most experienced companies in the litigation financing marketplace. We specialize in placing clients into the best rates available to them.

When To Secure an Advance

Although many plaintiffs have secured lawsuit cash advances over the last several years the concept is still fairly new. There are tens of thousands of lawsuits filed each year and a large majority of plaintiffs and attorneys are unfamiliar financing exists. Lawsuit funding is typically used by plaintiffs that have a financial circumstance that needs immediate attention. This means they need money to pay off debt, medical expenses and in some cases for mortgage and rent. At LawLeaf we have worked with plaintiffs who’ve used their advances for all three reasons.

When to secure a lawsuit cash advance?

If a person is financially struggling or incapable of paying for everyday living expenses, a lawsuit advance may be an option. Lawsuit cash advances are typically used when all other financial options have been closed. If a person is going through a lawsuit they may be hoping for a large settlement offer. While full & fair compensation would seem fair, oftentimes it’s not the case. If a person is involved in a personal injury lawsuit they may be going through medical or rehabilitation treatments. It is not uncommon and most of the times recommend you go through the necessary treatments in order to get a better understanding of the overall costs associated with the injury. The attorney will make this recommendation because they do not want their clients to be stuck with ongoing medical expenses after a settlement has been reached.

It could be 6 months or even a year before a settlement is reached. In some cases the defense will decide the amount requested is more than they are offering to pay. In this event the case could go into litigation, extending the amount of time compensation is awarded. If a plaintiff receives a favorable verdict the defense may decide to appeal the case again extending out the payout.  At LawLeaf we have worked with clients that have been going through the legal process for years.

If you are not in the financial position to wait for a fair settlement or go through a long and tedious litigation process, you may be considering an advance.

A plaintiff may secure an advance for a personal injury case or commercial litigation dispute. LawLeaf talks to clients on a daily basis that are going through long and tedious lawsuits with no end near. If you are a plaintiff going through this process and interested in a lawsuit loan so you are not forced to settle for less, contact LawLeaf today. We are ready to assist you.

Is Plaintiff Funding Right For You?

We understand that being involved in an accident and not having the financial resources in place to sustain, can be stressful time in anyone’s life. As bills begin piling up and the unwillingness of the the defense to settle the claim out of court, many people have no where to turn. The idea of settling a case for less than the fair value may become an option, although not the option you may prefer. At LawLeaf a large majority of cases we review on a daily basis come from plaintiffs stuck in this very situation. The question you may be asking yourself today is if plaintiff funding is right for you.

Plaintiff funding is a way to help pay for bills while a case is still pending. It gives the plaintiff the leverage of not entering into early settlement by allowing them a cash advance against future compensation from their case. Plaintiff funding is also non recourse meaning if you happen to lose your claim you don’t have to pay back the money borrowed. Plaintiff funding can also serve as a financial resource to cases that have already been settled and compensation is on its way. This type of advance is called post settlement funding. When a person reaches a settlement with the defense or wins a verdict, payment may be months out. As a result some plaintiffs can’t wait months before compensation is paid. They may also be provided with funding against future compensation. Post settlement funding generally provides the best rates of all cases within the legal funding industry.

If you are currently in a financial bind and need money in order to keep your case alive, plaintiff funding may be right for you. At LawLeaf we provide plaintiff funding for both personal injury and commercial litigation claims.

Is Lawsuit Financing For You?

Lawsuit financing is a term that is used throughout the lawsuit funding industry. When reviewing a lawsuit financing company it will be important to work with a company that has your best interest at heart. This means a company that is interested in securing their clients the most competitive rates and fastest approvals. While lawsuit financing is used by more plaintiffs now than ever before how do you know if it’s right for you?

Lawsuit financing can be used in both a personal injury or commercial litigation dispute. If you are a plaintiff in a claim you may be eligible to receive an advance. Prior to applying for lawsuit financing you should first consider your financial position. If you are in need of money now an can’t wait for a settlement you may be a good candidate for lawsuit financing.

Lawsuit financing has become increasingly popular amongst plaintiffs throughout the United States. For years plaintiffs were settling for far to less because they weren’t in the financial position to continue the litigation process. As a result the insurance industry was making out with record breaking profits while plaintiffs were being compensated for a fraction of the case worth. Why? Because they needed money and couldn’t wait to go through a long and tedious process.

Lawsuit financing may be beneficial to you for the following reasons:

You are unwilling to settle for less than what your case is worth. By securing lawsuit financing it will give you the time you need without having to fall victim of a less than fair settlement from an insurance company or defense.

• The plaintiff needs money to pay for house payments, car payments and food
• The money will be used to put a child through college
• The plaintiff needs money for repairs to damaged property
• The advance is used to start a new business or for investment purposes
• A settlement offer has not been yet made by the defense

We recently helped one client secure close to a million dollars because he needed the money to help build his business. If you are not in the financial position to move ahead with the litigation process you may be a good candidate for lawsuit financing. If you have questions regarding the lawsuit funding and would like to discuss your situation with one of our representatives begin by applying with LawLeaf today.

How Lawsuit Loan Rates Are Determined

We receive questions on a daily basis regarding lawsuit funding rates. “If I apply for lawsuit funding with LawLeaf can you give me a general range of the types of rates I’m borrowing against?”  This is a very tough question to answer because each case tends to be different. If we had to give a general range of the rates we get our clients they would fall anywhere from 2.5% to 3.5% compounded monthly. This is just an average range based upon our approval process.

We do not have one underwriter that can give us an exact number for our clients without looking at the claim. We may be able to ball park a rate but we can’t and shouldn’t ever give a set rate without evaluating the claim. The main reason is at the end of the process the rate could be higher. Quite frankly it’s almost impossible without looking at the case documentation.

When an underwriter looks at a request they will make a decision on an approval based upon the strength of the case. This means if there is clear liability there is a strong likelihood you will receive a cash advance against the lawsuit. If there is clear liability chances are you will also receive lower rates on the advance. The only way an underwriter can determine liability is by reviewing the case documents and speaking with the attorney.

The reason why our underwriters put so much stock into case documents is because all pre settlement lawsuit loans are non recourse. This means you only pay back the settlement loan if you win compensation from your claim. If they incorrectly look at a case they could be putting money into a lawsuit that may never settle. This means they will lose their investment. It may be surprising on how many of our clients have gotten advances against their lawsuit and the case never settled or they lost the verdict.

We work with an array of different underwriters who all look at claims differently. For instance there are some underwriters that will look at commercial litigation cases while some won’t. There are underwriters who will take about 50% of all personal injury claims while others may be interested in the other 50%. The areas in personal injury and commercial litigation are extensive and some underwriters may be familiar with different types of cases such as car accidents and wrongful death claims. There may be others who are more versed in slip and fall and workers compensation claims. The understanding that each underwriter may look at a claim differently should provide you with the understanding that the rates for each underwriter could be different as well as the approval itself.

The challenge that any plaintiff faces is figuring out which company will provide them with the lowest rates against their case. If you have never gone through the lawsuit funding process you may be hard pressed to find an exact match. If a person has immediate needs and counting on a lawsuit cash advance, time is surely not on their side. One of the main reasons why LawLeaf has been successful is our ability to distinguish between the different types of lawsuits. We have a pretty good idea based upon the preliminary information we receive which lender(s) will provide the better rates and faster turnarounds for your request. We also understand which lender(s) will actually look at your case.

We know if a company provides you with an up front rate and the rate comes back twice as much as what was quoted it could turn into a very ugly process. This is because plaintiffs that are searching for lawsuit funding typically have an immediate financial need. A company that provides them with a lower quote upfront understands the plaintiff is less likely to shop their claim. When the approval comes back and the rate is higher there is still a strong likelihood the client will accept the loan because the client needs the money now.

LawLeaf is a client centric company that understands the needs of our customers. We have been and will always be a company that demands the lowest rates for our clients. We have gained our reputation because we are always up front with our clients throughout the lawsuit funding process. We feel if we provide set rates to our prospective clients that are lower than the approval it could negatively affect our reputation within the legal financing industry. We pride ourselves in making all of our customers happy with our process and whether we lose prospective clients because we can’t provide concrete rates before the process, we know we will gain many others because of more competitive rates and an all around better experience.

If you are interested in finding out what type of rates we can get for your claim we ask you to simply apply online or contact us today. Because our process is without obligation, it can’t hurt.

Appeal Funding

We have worked on this case for over a year. My attorney and I decided not to settle the case. This is a business litigation issue. We are now going through phase 2 of this claim. I was fortunate enough to get a favorable outcome for the claim. The case is now going through an appeal process which means another 6 months to a year before I see any money out of the lawsuit. I have searched around to several different companies and I’m running into your company. I don’t see much in terms of your company providing funding for appeals nor do I see anything about the type of rates for cases 6-12 months out. I am thinking that it may be that time to consider funding for my case. Can you first tell me if you handle funding for appeal cases and if so how much money will it cost me to be locked in for 6-12 months? I wouldn’t mind talking to someone regarding my case but I don’t want to give my attorneys name out just yet. I’ve talked to my attorney about going out and getting money and he is not for nor against the idea. His recommendation was to first talk to a company and get a general idea of the rates. I just left a message with someone from your company and would like some sort of response about the rates. I understand I’m not getting a call back tonight so if you could answer my question (rep told me someone would be getting back to me) I would appreciate it.

Partnership Embezzlement Lawsuit

A good friend of mine has an Internet company with a friend of his or shall I say ex-friend. Last year the company was audited and more than a half of million dollars was unaccounted. His friend and the accountant had been embezzling money out of the company for more than a year. The company currently employs 5 people and while they still have money in the bank, its been very tough meeting payroll and expenses this last past year. The partner was charged with embezzlement along with the accountant.

I have stepped into the role of getting new sales for the company as a personal favor. We have been maintaining this last year but things are slowing down. He is beginning to think we may have to start laying a few people off which is not what he wants to do. We have looked at different avenues and we are struggling to raise money through the standard means. I suggested to him we should consider a lawsuit loan. He told me he applied with a company last year and he was not approved. I would like to know if there is something that your company could do to help out?

I don’t know the specifics of why the application was denied I just know the company wasn’t willing to invest the money in his case.

Large Lawsuit Settled Need Money

My lawsuit was against my former employer for a breach in contract with various components attached. This was a very large lawsuit and we’ve been successful. I tried to hire a company to provide plaintiff funding before my case was settled but because I have an attorney hired on an hourly rate, no agencies were interested in looking at my options. I applied with your company several months back and your company at least made an effort because the case was so far along. My situation has not changed much at all. While I won my case I’m not going to get money out of it until October of this year which is not what I had in mind.

I understand based upon a conversation with your company in the past that you were unable to provide plaintiff funding without the attorney being hired on a contingency fee basis but because this case has already settled and payment will be on its way, I’m hoping I could get a significant advance right now while waiting for my money to come in.

If you need additional information from me to help you begin by application again please contact me at XXXX.

I look forward to your response regarding this issue.

Large Settlement Funding Quotes

I recently won a verdict on a large copyright infringement case (I believe you call it commercial litigation settlement funding) and I would like to know if your company is in a position to provide funding for my case. There is an appeal on my case and I’m assuming 2-3 more months if not more before I know something more. Last week I applied with two other companies that were not in the position to loan me the requested amount of money I’m seeking. The companies both told me they would be willing to advance me a portion of the requested amount but not the full amount. I am looking for a 7 figure advancement on my case. I have read over several other websites that suggest they can advance on personal injury cases and copyright infringement cases up to a certain amount, none being larger than low 6 figure.

I spoke with my attorney today and he suggested I contact your company. I have read over your website and I see your company would be willing to fund copyright cases but I can’t locate the maximum amount of money that one may request on such case. I am assuming based upon other information it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility that your company could help.  I read something else on this website or another suggesting that your company could advance well over a million dollars for some cases. May I ask you if I apply with your company tonight would you be able to work for me giving the information I’ve provided. If you are unable could you please recommend another company that could help.

I appreciate a quick response to my inquiry.

Countersue Lawsuit Loan

I’m realy not sure how this program works and for sure my situation is unique. I have read over many questions on this site and I don’t see anything about someone searching for a lawsuit loan for counter suing someone. I will explain my case and please let me know if you can help.

I live in Hoboken, NJ but was employed in New York City for close to 20 years. I was working for one of the largest financial institutions in the country at the time of my employment. After 20 long years of service to the company they decided to terminate my position and outsource much of the work. I was in the process of building a software application which never ended up getting off the ground. This program was under development almost 6 years ago and was never brought to fruition due to other alternative methods in which I can’t fully describe. When I was terminated from my position about 4 years ago I had something written in my employment contract which I signed stating any work that I was programming at the time was the property of the company. The contract was null and void after two years which means if I wanted to I could have recreated the product.

This isn’t the point though. I was recently sued by my ex-employer after getting wind that I was working on an application that would help improve financial transactions (for example purposes not the real product). The product that was in development took me close a year and several hundreds of thousands of dollars to implement and develop. The company felt like it was their right to the product as it was written into the agreement. The company had me tied up in court for close to a year and without any luck they lost their case. I was paying for the defense of my whole case which ran me into the thousands of dollars. Once the case was ruled into my favor as they were completely in the wrong I immediately filed to countersue them for loss of time, attorney expenses, product development costs and so on. I have hired a very aggressive attorney and we are actively filing suit against this company.

The way the economy has been going and all these finanical institutions going out of business you can imagine my worries. While this company seems to be financially stable I am scared of something bad coming to the table as recent past has shown. My case is worth a fair amount of money and chances are we are going to win the countersuit. I am asking your company for assistance regarding this matter. Would your company be able to assist me in providing services for a lawsuit loan against my case?

Case Against Employer

I have a dispute that has not yet been resolved wtih a previous employer. I hired an attorney because the company will not release commissions that are owed to me in the sum of close to $100,000. I retained an attorney several weeks ago. I am currently unemployed and due to the job market I’m having a bit of a tough time trying to find another job. The case is a two part. The first is a wrongful termination as I was accused of something that I certainly didn’t do. The second is the commission part. I have several of my friends that still work for the company and based upon what they are telling me, they have no intentions of paying me money and no remorse they made a mistake and fired the wrong person. I would like to know the following: the company filed for bankruptcy about a year ago. They are still functioning but there are some talks that they will either merge or they will be bought out. I’m concerned that if this happens there is a good chance I won’t receive my back pay etc. If I were to apply for an advance would I still have a shot of getting the advance knowing this information?
