Lawsuit Funding

Attorneys Recommend Lawsuit Funding

Many of our clients contact LawLeaf because they were referred by their attorney. In fact a  large percentage of applicants come from attorneys searching for lawsuit funding for their client. So why are more attorneys now considering lawsuit funding for their clients? Several years ago many attorneys frowned upon those companies that offered pre settlement funding. When pre settlement funding first emerged into the legal industry many companies got away with charging exceptionally high rates. The industry has come a long way from where it started.

As the demand for legal funding continues to spiral upward more investors are entering into the marketplace. This has created an influx of new companies and hedge funds entering into the litigation financing space. Increased competition is good news for plaintiffs because more companies are now adjusting their rates to keep up with their competitors. As a result rates have declined over the last several years making it much more affordable.

Because of these rate adjustments attorneys are now feeling more comfortable recommending their clients to this form of financing. When an attorney takes on a new client they have a fiduciary responsibility to obtain the maximum amount of compensation for their client. Most attorney will provide their services on a contingency fee basis meaning you pay them once the case settles. The attorney will provide the up-front costs throughout the litigation process for a percentage of the proceeds once compensation is paid. A lawsuit can be very expensive and it can take a great deal of time. In fact the discovery costs alone have greatly increased over the last several years alone. The challenge that most attorneys face is figuring out whether a case will be profitable. Once they’ve committed to a case they will spend the time and money needed to get a positive result for their client.

As the economy continues to spiral downward more plaintiffs are anxious to get compensation sooner than later. In some cases they are willing to settle for much less than the fair value of their case. While the attorney may be convinced they can eventually win full compensation for their client, they are sometimes forced by their client to settle the case early. This can result in a net loss for the attorney because of the resources and money spent on the case.

Lawsuit funding can balance out the need for money and the ability to continue the litigation process. By securing a lawsuit cash advance for a client, it will provide the time needed to fully litigate the case. The end result can be a larger payout to the client and the attorney. When an attorney refers a client to LawLeaf oftentimes they are faced with this very situation. They want to buy their client more time because they are convinced they will receive a much larger payout against the claim.

What is Legal Cash

What is considered Legal Cash? For a lack of a better term legal cash is considered an advance of money against a legal case. The case can be a personal injury or commercial litigation claim and can come as pre settlement funding (before a case settles) or post settlement (after a case settles but before the first payment is received). If you are searching for legal cash begin by applying online with LawLeaf. LawLeaf is a leading legal cash advance company that provides plaintiffs with more options. The company provides legal cash advances throughout the United States. Most recently the company has begun offering
legal cash services to personal injury victims located in Canada.

Legal cash can be a tool used to help the plaintiff “level the playing field” during a lawsuit. When the defense or insurance company offers an initial settlement offer to a plaintiff, more than not the settlement is lower than the value of a claim. Legal cash is a way to counter a lower settlement because you are now able to secure monies against a lawsuit without having to settle.

Prior to the legal cash industry people that had financial troubles may have settled their case prematurely without giving thought of the repercussions of doing so. Many people that were going through tough financial times would settle their cases without considering ongoing expenses related to an accident or incident. This created havoc to families that were counting on fair compensation to pay for the
negligence of another.

Today legal cash is used to leverage a claim. A plaintiff will secure legal cash as a way to hold out for larger payouts. Legal cash has become very popular amongst plaintiffs unwilling to settle for less than the full value of their claim. If you are currently in this position and interested in finding out more information about legal cash, begin by applying online with LawLeaf today. LawLeaf a leading lawsuit funding and structured settlement company can assist you today.

Different Options & Different Rates

If you are going through the lawsuit funding process for the first time you may have questions regarding different options and rates that can be offered to you. A lawsuit cash advance is similar to many other financial transactions. The client is searching for different options which could result in different rates. At LawLeaf we are experts at looking at the different cases and providing more options for our clients. This also can have a direct effect on the rates you can secure for a pre settlement advance or structured settlement purchase.

What are the different available options?

It is important to understand the case. Is the client searching for pre settlement, post settlement or structured settlement funding? Pre settlement funding is before a claim has settled, post settlement funding soon after a case has reached a settlement and a structured settlement is when the claimant is receiving annuity payments over a specific time period. The different type of options will depend upon the funding type.

For instance when a client is requesting pre settlement funding they will be best suited working with an underwriter that has experience in looking at their type of lawsuit. Some underwriters are more versed in different areas of law and can make the difference of getting funding or getting denied. The underwriting company that provides the financing to plaintiffs may have experience in handling personal injury claims while others prefer commercial litigation disputes. By applying with a company that is unfamiliar with your type of lawsuit could make the difference between getting funded or getting denied.

In terms of structured settlement financing. Pre settlement and post settlement funding are oftentimes offered as a non recourse loan. Structured settlement purchased are offered through a full purchase or a partial purchase of the annuity. There are companies that offer structured settlement purchases but not pre settlement funding and vice versa. The problem that most clients run into is finding which company offers the better rates, larger payouts in the shortest amount of time.

When discussing rates for funding:

  • What type of case are you submitting?
  • What is the likelihood of winning your claim?
  • Does the defense have the financial backing to pay the claimant?
  • Is the applicant applying for pre settlement or post settlement funding? There is more risk involved with pre settlement funding.
  • How quickly will the case settle?
  • Personal injury or commercial litigation? Comfort at looking at a specific claim.
  • Pre settlement & post settlement vs. structured settlement

Understanding which financial institutions offer better rates for specific cases can mean the difference of more money in your pocket. If you are searching for structured settlement cash it can be the difference of thousands of dollars for your annuity payments. It is imperative prior to applying with for funding with any company they have a track record of getting their clients into competitive rates.

If you are searching for a partner through the funding process that has processed thousand of applications for its clients, begin by applying online with LawLeaf today. We are just not another lawsuit funding company, we are a partner in the funding process.

Settle Early or Pre Settlement Funding

If you are considering an early settlement you may be thinking about pre settlement funding. Prior to an early settlement you should always consider the full value of your claim. If the amount that was offered by an insurance company or defense is a fraction of what you are suing for perhaps pre settlement funding may be an option to a smaller settlement.

When a person decides to accept a settlement offer they should be aware they can’t seek additional monies at a later date. This means a plaintiff will not receive money associated with ongoing expenses related to an accident or claim. This would also include ongoing medical expenses. Prior to a settlement your attorney may advise you to accept an offer or wait for a better offer from the defense. While some people may be in the financial position to wait on a fairer settlement offer, others are not. Pre settlement funding can be used at this stage of the suit. Pre settlement funding is oftentimes used as an alternative to an early settlement as it puts money in your pocket without having to settle for less. If you are considering pre settlement funding as an alternative to settling your case early consider the following:

  • Does the company offer different payment options?
  • Will the company provide non recourse funding?
  • Does the company provide more than one underwriting source?
  • How quickly can the company turn around an application?
  • What types of cases does the company offer?
  • Does the company focus its business to the pre settlement funding process?
  • What is the reputation of the company?
  • Will the company put your financial interests ahead of its own?

If you are considering an early settlement and would like to find out if pre settlement is for you, begin by applying online with LawLeaf today. LawLeaf is an online lawsuit funding company that provides services throughout North America. If you are looking for a partner contact us today.

Pending Lawsuit Loans

You have now applied with LawLeaf for a lawsuit loan now what? This is common question we hear from our applicants on a daily basis. Part of the benefit of our service is our ability to streamline the process in order to speed up the advance. This is something that we are experts at because we do it often.

The longest part in obtaining a lawsuit loan is waiting for case documents to arrive from an attorney. There are certain things you can do as the plaintiff when applying for lawsuit funding with any company, including ours. It is only fair that you should make your attorney aware that you have applied for pre settlement funding and a representative at LawLeaf will be reaching out. If your attorney is aware that one of our representatives will be in contact with their office we are more likely to get the information we need the same day of the request. There may be some lag time gathering the documentation as most attorneys are consumed with helping other clients. If this is the case we can also obtain documents from an office manager, paralegal or secretary.

You may be waiting for a pending lawsuit loan due to documents or possibly underwriting? At LawLeaf our greatest asset is our ability to get the case documents through underwriting in a judicious manner. We believe the underwriting process while can be lengthy for some clients, should be handled immediately upon the receipt of the case docs. In fact LawLeaf has been successful in getting cases funded the same day the application is submitted. This also includes those clients whom contact LawLeaf without case documents in which we have to obtain the documents from your attorney, get the request through underwriting and request a wire transfer of funds that day.

If you have questions regarding our services please contact LawLeaf today. If you are interested in applying for a lawsuit loan, begin by applying online today.

Reasons for pending lawsuit loans include:

  • Waiting for case documents
  • Case documents may be incomplete

Money for a Lawsuit

If you are searching for company that can provide money for a lawsuit begin by applying for lawsuit funding with LawLeaf.

We received quite a few questions today and one we would like to specifically respond to on the site. The question was how much money can you secure on a lawsuit? It is a question that we hear often and a question we feel we should explain. When searching for answers regarding the amount of money you can borrow against your lawsuit you must consider a few items.

1. How much is your lawsuit worth? - Lets assume a plaintiff has a lawsuit that is worth X amount of dollars. The value of your lawsuit will depend upon damages. This will be an important factor when determining the total amount one can borrow for their lawsuit.

2. What is the strength of your lawsuit? - If there is clear liability the chances are you will be able borrow money against your lawsuit.

3. What type of lawsuit? - LawLeaf provides funding for an array of different types of lawsuits. We provide funding for personal injury and commercial litigation claims. A personal injury claim could be anything from a slip and fall to a car accident. A commercial litigation lawsuit could be a copyright infringement to a discrimination claim. This can also be a factor when a company offers you money for your lawsuit.

4. What type of funding? - Are you applying for pre settlement funding or post settlement funding. This means are you seeking money for your lawsuit before the case has reached settlement or after a settlement has been reached.

Before a company offers a plaintiff a settlement advance they will need to know what type of case, the strength of the case, estimated worth and the type of funding ie. has the case reached a settlement or not. This information will be gathered during a conversation and through the case documentation from your claim. To fully understand how much money you may borrow consider the following:

Each lender has a set of cases they prefer. Some companies like personal injury cases while others may prefer commercial litigation. It typically depends upon the underwriters looking at a case. Again each company may evaluate a case differently. Regardless of the company they will look at all four questions above. They will determine if a case deserves to be funded if there is liability and the guilty party has the capability to pay back damages to the plaintiff (Insurance companies etc.).  The more the case is worth the higher amount a company will fund. If a case has already been settled the more likely a company will advance a higher amount. If it is a strong case the amount may increase. If the company underwrites a lot of personal injury cases the chances are they will increase the amount for personal injury cases.

If you were looking at percentages its safe to say a company may lend anywhere from 3%-25% against a claim. This means if a case is worth $100,000 and the lender likes the case you may receive anywhere between $3,000 to $25,000 against the case. Keep in mind each company may offer a different amount.

When LawLeaf evaluates an applicant we have a pretty good idea once we’ve received and processed the information who will offer the requested amount and who may not. We also have an idea of which lenders prefer a specific case and which lender may not. Whether you are looking for more money against your lawsuit or a better rate, LawLeaf can help. We are experienced at finding the money you need at competitive rates, higher payouts and faster. If you are searching for money for your lawsuit begin by applying online with LawLeaf today.

Lawsuit Loan Funding & Why

There are specific reasons why someone would apply for lawsuit loan funding. A common theme to most lawsuit loan funding requests is “I need money immediately and how can I help speed up the process?”  The main and most obvious reason is the plaintiff needs money to help pay for their bills while their case is reaching a settlement. Some clients apply for lawsuit loan funding because the case is in the early stages and a settlement offer has not yet been made. There are other clients that will apply for a lawsuit loan because the settlement offer from the insurance company is less than expected. These plaintiffs will not accept the low offer and have made a decision to continue down the path of fighting for more compensation for their claim.

We have received requests from people that need money to pay for medical expenses, mortgages and rent, investment purposes, food, car payments, divorces, vacations and even for a down payment on a home.

We recently worked with a client that had serious financial problems as a result of an accident. It was a necessity to receive a lawsuit loan to help pay of credit card debt. It was used not so much for the principal but for the high interest rates from the credit card company. By getting lawsuit loan funding the client was able to pay off his credit cards without further harming his credit score.

There is no question that insurance companies understand that Americans are financially hurting. The unemployment rate is increasing and people are now looking for ways to stay afloat until finding new jobs. We have some clients that are on the verge of losing their homes or getting evicted from their apartments because they are so far behind in payments. As a result insurance companies continue to take advantage of  our financial positions by offering lower settlement offers with the understanding without settlement, they will force the case into a long litigation process.

Lawsuit loan funding is a way for the plaintiff to get money without having to settle for less. Whether you need the money to pay off credit card bills, using the money for rent or mortgage payments or need a new car, the money can be used as an alternative from taking an early settlement.

If you are currently searching for a lawsuit cash advance for any reason, LawLeaf wants to work for you.

Trial Versus Settlement of Case

If you are currently evaluating a settlement offer from an insurance company you may be facing a hard decision. A plaintiff may consider a settlement rather than taking a case to a trial. At LawLeaf we understand these decisions can mean a difference in getting full recovery or settling for less compensation. If you are considering a trial versus a settlement for your case you may be evaluating lawsuit funding. A lawsuit cash advance can help a plaintiff get through a lengthy trial without having to settle the case.

Case settlement vs. Trial

If you are considering a case settlement rather than going through a trial you should consider the following. How much is your case valued at and how much is the offer? Prior to a settlement you should talk to your attorney and discuss the likelihood of reaching full compensation for your claim if you decide to take the case to a trial. If you attorney believes the final offer is worth taking you may consider the settlement. If your attorney advises you that the settlement offer is much less than what you deserve you may consider taking the case to a trial.

The trial process can be very lengthy. It can take months or even years before a case reaches closure. If you committed to taking your case to trial but having financial difficulties you may consider a lawsuit advance. A lawsuit advance is best used by those people who have been offer less than fair compensation for their case but don’t have the financial resources to wait months or possibly a year or longer. If you are taking your case to trial and you need money to help pay for bills while waiting for your recovery, begin by applying online with LawLeaf today.

Obtaining Lawsuit Documents

If you are currently evaluating lawsuit funding as an option you may already know about obtaining lawsuit documents. Below are a few questions and answers regarding obtaining case documents for a lawsuit advance.

What type of documents are required by your company?

When we begin looking at an application we will determine which documents are needed in order to process the application. The documents are different for certain cases such as a personal injury vs. commercial litigation.

How do you obtain documents for a case?

Once a representative has spoken with you regarding your request we will be in contact with the attorney. Our company will contact your attorney and request the required documentation from your attorney. This documentsation will be used to assess your claim.

My attorney is rarely available. If you can’t reach my attorney how will you obtain the documents?

LawLeaf can work with your attorney or others within the law firm. We sometimes will receive documents from a secratary or paralegal. While we will continue trying to contact your attorney regarding your claim its no necessary that the case documents come from the attorney.

What if my attorney is not cooperating?

We are very successful in obtaining documentation from law firms. We will follow-up with your attorney on your behalf and explain the importance of a lawsuit cash advance for your case. We will also answer any questions regarding LawLeaf and our underwriters. If the attorney is still unwilling to cooperate with our request we can coach you on getting your attorney to cooperate.

How does the attorney know which case documents to send?

We will immediately fax over an attorney a case documentation request. The request will include the types of documents needed to begin processing an application.

What if the documents don’t exist?

Settlement Cash

If you are searching for a company that offers settlement cash before or after a claim has settled begin by applying online with LawLeaf. LawLeaf provides settlement cash to clients that have been involved in personal injury and commercial litigation claims. The settlement cash industry is booming due to the slow down in the economy and the unwillingness of insurance companies to provide fair settlement offers to claimants. Settlement cash is oftentimes used as a stop gap between a full payout or less than adequate settlement offer. By securing settlement cash the plaintiff will have the ability to wait longer in hopes of more compensation giving the attorney more leverage to fight for fair compensation for their client.

LawLeaf is a company that believes every person should have the right to seek fair compensation for their claim. We believe if a person is hurt physically, emotionally or financially they should be entitled to full compensation for damages. What we frown upon is insurance companies taking advantage of claimants and forcing them into smaller settlement offers. The insurance industry is making record breaking profits because they have a formula that has been working for years. They intend to take in more than they disburse. This means smaller payouts to claimants regardless of the damages. It is no coincidence that while the rest of America is hurting these insurance companies are generating record breaking years on our expense. A Settlement cash advance can now play a major role in the ability for the claimant to hold out for a larger settlement offer.

At LawLeaf we are committed to providing our clients with the best rates available to us. We believe that our clients are best served by competitive rates and faster approvals. If you are currently searching for a settlement cash advance begin by applying online with LawLeaf today.

Injury Settlement

If you have been involved in an accident due to the negligence of another you may be seeking an injury settlement. An injury settlement is oftentimes the quickest and easiest way of handling a lawsuit for both the plaintiff and the defense. When a person is a victim of negligence and is injured they may seek compensation to help pay for their medical bills, loss of wages and pain and suffering. Prior to reaching an injury settlement an adjuster will look at the case and determine based upon different variables how much the settlement is worth. They may account for medical expenses, time away from work and ongoing expenses directly related to the accident. If the settlement offer is fair and both the plaintiff and defense agree upon a dollar amount the process will be much shorter, eliminating a lengthy legal process. The expenses that the defense may incur by extending out the claim may also play a part on the settlement amount.

If the plaintiff and defense can’t come to a manageable number the plaintiff has the right to hold out until the case reaches a trial. The defense and the plaintiff would rather put closure to the case however if compensation isn’t paid out in full, the plaintiff may have no choice but to decline the lower offer. Today, plaintiffs are now waiting for larger payouts because they have an option of applying for pre settlement funding. Pre settlement funding can give the plaintiff a little breathing room until an injury settlement has occurred or the case goes to court. The best thing about pre settlement funding is the monies is non recourse meaning the plaintiff is only obligated to pay back the advance if they win the case.

Insurance companies have fought against pre settlement funding because they understand having this option available a plaintiff may be more likely to not settle for less. If the claim makes it to court and the insurance company loses they will not only have to pay the claimant more money, but they will also incur legal expenses increasing the overall cost of the claim.

An injury settlement will always be the best option for a plaintiff but only if the compensation is fair and will cover both expenses incurred and potential expenses in the future such as loss of wages or ongoing medical expenses.

If you are currently searching for lawsuit funding because you are waiting for a larger injury settlement, begin by applying online with LawLeaf today.

Lawsuit Capital

Lawsuit capital is a term that describes a plaintiff’s ability to secure monies before or after a claim has been settled. A plaintiff in a pending lawsuit may be eligible to pull capital out of the lawsuit without adversely affecting the outcome of a settlement. If you are currently looking to secure lawsuit capital begin by applying online with LawLeaf.

LawLeaf provides plaintiffs the ability to pull monies out of their claim. The monies can be used as a way to leverage their position in a lawsuit.

Example: A plaintiff is requesting more than a quarter of a million dollars from an insurance company. The insurance company is only willing to pay 50% of the value of the claim, leaving the plaintiff with excess bills and out of pocket expenses. Instead of settling the claim a plaintiff requests lawsuit capital from LawLeaf in hopes for a full payout. By securing lawsuit capital with LawLeaf the plaintiff is able to continue the legal process giving the attorney more time to seek full compensation for the claim. While the plainiff pays fees in securing lawsuit capital out of the case, the fees are minimum compared to the value of the claim. As a result the plaintiff puts himself in the financial position to hold out for full compensation for his claim.

If you are considering lawsuit capital out of your claim only consider non recourse funding. This means you only pay back the capital if you win compensation from your claim.

Other terms that describe lawsuit capital include:

A client may request lawsuit capital for a personal injury or commercial litigation claim. If you are currently searching for lawsuit capital begin by applying online with LawLeaf.

At LawLeaf we can handle lawsuit funding for our clients throughout the United States, however, workers compensation lawsuit funding is limited to the following states: Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont and West Virginia.

What if you are not located in one of the states above?

If you are not located in one of these states but have a pending personal injury lawsuit against the negligent party, we can help. A client that has been hurt at work may have two different lawsuits: They may be seeking compensation through workers compensation and against the negligent party.

For instance: If a client is working as a carrier in Los Angeles, California and involved in a car accident he may still be eligible to receive a lawsuit cash advance against the personal injury claim.  The driver may have both a workers compensation lawsuit and a lawsuit against the other drivers insurance company. While LawLeaf can’t provide funding services against the plaintiffs workers compensation suit, we can provide similar services against the personal injury suit.

Another example: If a highway worker is hit by a passing car the worker may file a workers compensation claim and a personal injury claim for a pedestrian accident. If the accident didn’t occur in one of the states above we can still work to get a lawsuit cash advance against the pedestrian accident.

If you are currently searching for lawsuit funding begin by applying with LawLeaf today. While we may not provide workers compensation funding in your state if you have an additional personal injury lawsuit pending, we can still help.
