Personal Injury

Personal Injury & Pre Settlement Funding

The most common of all lawsuit funding types is pre settlement funding for personal injury lawsuits. There are millions of personal injury claims filed throughout the United States each year. These claims consist of car accident to trip and falls. If you have suffered an injury due to the negligence of another party, you may have legal recourse through a personal injury lawsuit.

There is a process which takes place prior, during and after filing a personal injury lawsuit. This process is typically handled by an attorney that specializes in a specific injury type. For instance, if you have been involved in an automobile accident you will probably hire an experienced personal injury lawyer that specializes in traffic accidents. The attorney will be responsible for gathering information regarding your accident. It is important if you have been involved in a personal injury you write down everything you remember about how the accident occurred. If possible you should also take photos of the scene of the accident and gather contact information from witnesses.

Once you have filed a lawsuit for your personal injury you can apply for pre settlement funding. It is important to understand that pre settlement funding for a personal injury lawsuit can only be secured if you have legal representation and a lawsuit has been filed.

Because the personal injury process can take so long, some plaintiffs will consider pre settlement funding. Pre settlement funding can be acquired anytime during the personal injury process. It can be secured once a claim has been filed, a settlement has been offered, a case going through the appeals process or a judgment has been awarded.

If you are currently evaluating personal injury pre settlement funding, begin by applying with LawLeaf today. We have worked with thousands of people that have immediate financial needs and without pre settlement funding, many would be forced into smaller settlements. For additional information on pre settlement funding and personal injury funding, contact LawLeaf today.

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. By contacting LawLeaf you will be hiring a company that can get you the money you need at a competitive rates. We also provide some of the quickest services within the legal funding industry.

SUV Rollover Lawsuit Funding

If you have been involved in an SUV Rollover and searching for lawsuit funding, begin by applying with LawLeaf today. LawLeaf provides pre settlement funding and lawsuit cash advances for settled cases to victims of SUV rollovers. It terms of auto accidents, SUV’s tend to be the vehicle most prone to rollovers. A large percent of motor vehicle fatalities are due to rollovers from an SUV. In fact 1000’s of people die each year due to these related accidents.

While there are other vehicles that tend to roll over, sport utility vehicles have the highest rate of deaths each year due to rollovers.

The most common reasons for SUV rollovers include:

  • Most vehicles are top heavy or a high center of gravity
  • Poor suspension
  • Defective tires
  • Poor road conditions
  • Mechanical failures
  • High speed

While accidents occur as a result of driver negligence, oftentimes a rollover may occur due to a deficiency of a vehicle. It is important prior to purchasing a sports utility vehicle you check to make sure the make and model of the vehicle has not been recalled by the manufacturer.

The most common SUV vehicles that have the highest percentage of rollovers include:

  • Cherokee
  • Chevrolet Suburban
  • Chevy Tahoe
  • Chevy TrailBlazer
  • Ford Escape
  • Ford Expedition
  • Ford Explorer
  • Ford Ranger
  • GMC Jimmy
  • Honda CR-V
  • Honda CR-V
  • Honda Passport
  • Hyundai Santa Fe
  • Isuzu Hombre
  • Isuzu Rodeo
  • Jeep Liberty
  • Jeep Wrangler
  • Jeep,
  • Lincoln Navigator
  • Mitsubishi Montero
  • Nissan Xterra
  • Pathfinder
  • Rav4
  • S-10 Blazer
  • Suzuki Samurai
  • Toyota 4Runner
  • Toyota Land cruiser
  • Toyota Sequoia
  • Yukon

Prior to purchasing or operating an SUV consider the following:

  • Check statistics on rollovers
  • Do not drive aggressively
  • While SUV are oftentimes a vehicle of choice for bad weather condition, such as snow and ice, you must operate the vehicle with great caution.
  • Make sure to keep the vehicle well maintained. This means always check the tire pressure to make sure there is a balance of air fill in each tire.
  • If you are carrying a load, make sure to balance the load.
  • To minimize injury, it’s always recommended to wear a seat belt. Oftentimes when a rollover occurs, those individuals not wearing a seat belt may receive severe injury to their body and sometimes it can result in death.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, or a loved one has died, as the result of a rollover accident, you should consider contacting an attorney immediately to discuss your legal rights. If you believe you were injured as the result of a vehicle defect it is important that you contact an attorney immediately prior to discussing your case with the insurance company.

Like many lawsuits, the litigation process for an SUV rollover can take months or even years. If you are currently involved in a lawsuit and you are considering a lower settlement due to your current financial situation, you may be considering a lawsuit loan. Lawsuit funding for an SUV accident is oftentimes used by those victims that are in need of financial relief. It can be utilized best by those plaintiffs that need a lawsuit cash advance so they aren’t forced to settle for less. Litigation financing is a form of funding that helps victims keep their case alive.

At LawLeaf we provide settlement funding for clients throughout the United States and Canada. We can provide each client a lawsuit cash advance that is non recourse. This means if you receive a settlement loan through LawLeaf and you are unsuccessful in winning your lawsuit, you owe nothing.

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.

Personal Injury Lawsuits that Deserve Funding

If you have recently filed a personal injury lawsuit or in the middle of the litigation process, perhaps you still have some unanswered questions. What exactly makes a good personal injury lawsuit? The three most important factors when determining a good personal injury lawsuit include: liability (who is at fault), damages (items for compensation), and the ability for the defense to pay. When one of these three items is missing the ability to get fairly compensated decreases.

When an attorney takes on a personal injury lawsuit the first item they will consider is liability. If liability exists chances are the attorney will take the case. The same is true when applying for lawsuit funding. If the underwriter feels comfortable that there is clear liability chances are they will provide a lawsuit cash advance against the case.

The second item is damages. If you were involved in an accident due to the negligence of another chances are you have paid out of pocket for expenses. These expenses may include thousands of dollars in medical expenses, transportation costs, physical therapy and other costs directly related to the accident. Along with out of pocket expenses you may be severely injured and as a result you have significant physical pain and suffering; your attorney will attempt to get you fairly compensated for all damages related to the accident. Damages will determine the worth of your claim and will ultimately determine whether to settle your case or proceed to trial. When applying for lawsuit funding you will be asked by a company how much money you are requesting. A lawsuit funding company will typically advance you between 5%-20%+ of the projected damages.

The third and final item is the ability for the defense to pay for damages. Most personal injury claims are fought between an attorney and the insurance company. Whether negotiating a fair settlement or collecting on a judgment if the defense does not have the money to pay the judgment or settlement the plaintiff will not be able to collect. There are cases in which the defense has a certain amount of insurance coverage however not enough to pay the full amount of the damages sustained. When evaluating a lawsuit the underwriter will also be interested in finding out whether the defense has the financial capability to pay on the lawsuit in the event of a favorable verdict.  If the result is that the defense indeed has the financial capability to pay the plaintiff chances are your chances of obtaining an advance will significantly increase.

Liability, damages and the ability to collect will play an important factor in both your lawsuit and lawsuit funding. If you are currently evaluating a pre settlement funding or post settlement funding against a personal injury lawsuit, begin by contacting LawLeaf today.

Personal Injury: Settlement Trial & Funding

Personal injury lawsuits can impact a victim both physically and monetarily. While we can’t help heel your wounds we can certainly assist you in obtaining personal injury funding for your case. If you need money to help you stay afloat, contact LawLeaf today.

If you have consulted with a personal injury attorney you may now understand that most cases don’t make it court. If fact the majority of personal injury cases settle out of court, saving money for both the attorney and defense. While this may be true there is no real guarantee that a case will reach settlement;  the attorney must always be prepared to take the appropriate steps in obtaining the best possible outcome, which sometimes can result in taking the case to court.

The reason why some people decide to secure lawsuit funding is because their case could be months away from a settlement or perhaps the defense won’t agree to a fair settlement amount. Initially a lot of work is done prior to the settlement. The attorney may gather information such as key witness statements, photographs, police reports, etc. This information is used to gain more information on how the accident occurred and to help establish liability. Another important factor is gaining the necessary information on the physical condition of the victim. An attorney will need to gather medical records, medical bills, employment records and other information necessary to document the expenses related to the accident. This information is also valuable in figuring out the total compensation a plaintiff may receive.

Once your attorney has gathered the necessary information and put a value on the claim, they will contact the insurance company for a formal offer. If the plaintiff is unable to obtain a fair settlement offer from the insurance company through the negotiation process, more than likely the attorney will file a lawsuit and demand arbitration.

The time between filing a lawsuit and requesting a trial date can take a month or longer. The trial date is set and unfortunately it’s out of the control of both the plaintiff and defense; it depends upon how busy the court is at the time the lawsuit was filed.

The amount of time that lapses between an accident occurring and the case to reaching trial can take several months to over a year. It can equally take as long to finally reach a settlement dependent upon the severity of the accident. In the event the plaintiff is not in the financial position to await settlement or trial they can secure a lawsuit cash advance against future proceeds from the case.
