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.

We have worked with thousands of people that have immediate financial needs and without pre settlement funding, many would be forced into smaller settlements.

Lawsuit Settlement

If you are searching for funding against a lawsuit settlement, contact LawLeaf today. LawLeaf a leading legal funding company provides plaintiffs with lawsuit settlement funding throughout the United States and Canada.  Whether you are searching for a cash advance against a recent lawsuit settlement or you have a pending lawsuit and need pre settlement funding, LawLeaf can work with you.

A lawsuit settlement is an agreement reached between two parties, the plaintiff & defense, against a pending lawsuit. The plaintiff also referred to as a claimant files a lawsuit based upon negligence or wrongdoing. When the claimant files a lawsuit and there is clear liability, oftentimes the defense will opt to settle the case out of court without having to take on the burden of paying legal fees and proven negligence didn’t exist. A lawsuit settlement allows both parties the ability to settle for a reasonable amount without having to further proceed into legal hearings.

A lawsuit settlement will typically cover the costs of damages to the plaintiff. Based upon the lawsuit settlement some of these costs may include medical expenses, out of pocket expenses, pain and suffering, property damages and financial loss. While lawsuit settlements are suppose to appease both sides oftentimes people find themselves in a situation where they have to settle their lawsuit due to financial circumstances. In this event, LawLeaf is able to offer pre settlement funding against pending lawsuits.

When a lawsuit settlement is reached its very common the plaintiff will not receive their cash award for several weeks or months. If you have been going through the rigor and random of a long legal process and have recently reached a lawsuit settlement, you may not have weeks or months to wait. At LawLeaf we offer another funding program for clients that have recently reached a lawsuit settlement and waiting for compensation. For these clients, LawLeaf is able to offer post settlement funding against their lawsuit settlement. This type of lawsuit cash advance provides our clients with a financial stop gap between the settlement date and payment on the lawsuit settlement. This type of settlement funding is typically more affordable than pre settlement funding because there is less risk for the company providing the settlement loan.

The two main methods of receiving a lawsuit settlement are through a lump sum cash award and structured settlement. If you choose to receive a lump sum all proceeds are paid up front. If you decide on a structured settlement against your proceeds the payments will be arranged over a set period of time. At LawLeaf we can provide lawsuit funding against both lump sum cash awards and structured settlement buyouts.

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.

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.

Flexible Creditors & Lawsuit Funding Helps

When a person is involved in an accident which results in a personal injury, it’s not unusual it quickly becomes a financial burden on the victim. As a result the injured person may be unable to work increasing the likelihood of financial distress. In fact those victims unable to meet their monthly financial obligations will fall deeper in debt and sometimes the threat of losing a home or being evicted from their apartment becomes a reality.

Contact your creditors

If you have been involved in a personal injury and out of work, it’s highly recommended you contact your creditors and request they hold payments until your able to return to work. While not all creditors may be flexible most will work out a payment arrangement that works for both you and the creditor. By being proactive it could save you thousands of dollars in monthly interest and late payments. It can also help you focus on the injury and not the monetary aspect resulting from the accident.

Obtain a lawsuit cash advance

While some creditors are able to hold monthly bills others may not be as flexible. Lawsuit funding can assist you in paying those creditors that are unwilling to work with you as well as your daily living expenses. Lawsuit funding can also help you catch up with your monthly credit card bills decreasing the risk of lapse payments and increased interest and penalty fees.

Pay for the necessities

While most hospitals and medical institutions are able to work out payment plans, a victim may still need money to cover the cost for rehabilitation and physical therapy, prescription drugs and medication, transportation to and from the doctors and living expenses. The main objective for most personal injury victims is to financially sustain and get healthy enough to return to work.  By having a financial outlet such as lawsuit funding, it can certainly relieve the burden of these types of expenses.

If you are searching for pre settlement funding against your personal injury proceeds, contact LawLeaf today.

The Underwriting Process for a Lawsuit Cash Advance

If you are searching for a lawsuit cash advance you are probably unclear on how your case will be evaluated. When LawLeaf receives an application for lawsuit funding its our responsibility to get your information over to an underwriter immediately. We go through the necessary processes ensuring your application and documentation is received in the appropriate manner. Once the information has been obtained from your attorney the underwriting process begins.

An underwriter is typically an attorney or insurance adjuster that works for the investor or hedge fund. An underwriter can be a full time employee of the fund or work or provide services on a case by case. The underwriter’s main responsibility is to review the documentation presented by your attorney and make a decision if the case is viable. The underwriter will be interested in the following:

Liability - An underwriter will review the claim and make a judgment based upon liability. If there is clear liability there is a good chance you will get approved for a lawsuit cash advance.

Length of case or time frame - An underwriter will also be interested in the amount of time a case will take to settle. If the case is less than a year from settlement the likelihood of an approval increases. Hedge funds typically like cases in which a settlement is near. If they believe there is clear liability and a settlement is not far off, they will be more likely to extend an advance to a client.

Settlement offer - If you have received a settlement offer in writing this can improve your chances of getting an approval. While you may not agree to the settlement offer it shows the underwriter the defense has admitted liability and interested in settling the case out of court.

Contingency fee basis - You must be represented by an attorney that is hired on a contingency fee basis. If you are paying an attorney an hourly rate etc. a fund will not approve your for a lawsuit cash advance.

Second rounds of funding - If you have already received funding on the case it can be harder to receive additional monies on the case. At LawLeaf we have been successful at getting second and third rounds of funding for some clients.

Conversation with the attorney - The last step in the process is typically a conversation with an attorney. An underwriter may have additional questions about the lawsuit. If the underwriter is considering funding the case a conversation with the attorney can sway them to approve funding against your claim.

The underwriting process is probably the single most important part in the lawsuit funding process. Ultimately the underwriter will make the decision of whether or not the case is worth funding.

If you have additional questions about the underwriting process, contact LawLeaf today.

Slip & Fall Litigation Financing

If you are currently searching for slip and fall litigation financing, begin by applying online with LawLeaf today. Slip and fall litigation financing is an advance against a pending or already settled claim. The money is borrowed from a hedge fund or investor with an agreement the loan will be paid back with interest after the case has reached a settlement. Litigation financing is non-recourse meaning if you lose your case, you don’t pay back the lender.

At LawLeaf we receive inquires from clients each week that have been involved in slip and fall cases. The most common question we receive is how much money can be obtained through an advance in regards to a slip and fall.

Slip and falls are classified as personal injury related cases. This means that the person that was injured they may receive compensation for damages resulting in the injury. When determining the amount of money you may borrow against a slip and fall it’s important to first understand the total worth of your claim. Slip and fall litigation financing can provide a plaintiff a percentage of the total worth of a claim. The percentages typically range from 5%-20% for pre settlement cases and upwards of 25% for slip and fall cases that have already been settled.

What does this mean? If your attorney estimates the dollar amount of the case is worth $100,000 and liability is clear, the plaintiff may receive upwards of $20,000 for a claim that is going through the litigation process i.e. pre settlement funding. If the claimant recently won a verdict or a settlement was reached for $100,000 a person may receive $25,000+ also referred as post settlement funding.

Slip and fall litigation financing is oftentimes used by plaintiffs that are unwilling to settle their case for less than fair compensation. If the insurance company or defendant is unwilling to settle the case for the total amount requested by the plaintiff the case could go on for months or years. If the claimant is not in the financial position to wait they may consider an early settlement or perhaps litigation financing.

If you are considering litigation financing for a slip and fall lawsuit, begin by contacting LawLeaf today.

About Settlement Funding

If you are searching for settlement funding begin by visiting LawLeaf today. Settlement funding is a term that is used throughout the litigation financing industry. The term has several different meanings depending upon the type of case and funding request.

Prior to a case reaching a settlement:

Settlement funding can be used by a plaintiff who is seeking money before their lawsuit reaches a settlement. If a plaintiff is involved in a personal injury or commercial dispute and has the representation of an attorney, they may be eligible to receive settlement funding before compensation is paid. The concept of securing settlement funding before a claim reaches a settlement is to allow the attorney more time to litigate a case. It provides financial relief to the plaintiff without having to settle for less money against the claim.

After a case reaches a settlement:

Settlement funding can also be used by a plaintiff who has recently won a judgment or reached a settlement. The plaintiff was involved in a personal injury or commercial dispute and is waiting for compensation from their claim they may be eligible to receive settlement funding while waiting for their cash award. People that are interested in securing settlement funding after a case reaches a settlement are typically in need of their money now. People tend to secure post settlement funding when they have immediate financial obligations such as credit card debt, purchasing a new home or for investment purposes.

Structured settlement:

If a plaintiff received their cash award as a structured settlement they may have the option of pulling out portions of future payments or the full amount. The person may be searching for either a full or partial buy out against their annuity.

Settlement funding is being used by thousands of people each month. LawLeaf is an experienced company that provides our clients with competitive rates and faster approvals.

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.

Pre Settlement Loans For Injury Cases

If you are searching for a pre settlement loan for an injury case begin by applying today with LawLeaf. We receive questions on a daily basis regarding the lawsuit funding process and today we received a question regarding non recourse funding for a personal injury case. A pre settlement loan is one term to describe an advance against a pending or already settled claim. The term “loan” is used very loosely within the litigation financing industry. In fact, lawsuit funding is not technically a pre settlement loan because it’s non recourse.

What is a pre settlement non recourse loan?

A non recourse loan is an advance against a lawsuit in which the plaintiff will pay back only if they are successful in winning their claim. If the plaintiff is unsuccessful in winning their personal injury claim they do not pay back the pre settlement loan. This is similar to hiring an attorney on a contingency fee basis as you only pay the attorney for their services if successful in winning compensation.

The rates for a pre settlement loan vary depending upon the case. When an underwriter reviews the claim they will determine the rates based upon the strength of the case. If the underwriter believes the claimant will receive compensation for the claim they will be in a better position to get the advance. The process can take several hours to several days depending upon the availability of an attorney and the information gathered during the process. When an underwriter reviews a case they need to be sure the claim is valid and compensation will be paid out because its non recourse.

Do cases get funded that never settle?

Although the underwriters look at each claim there are always cases that receive funding that never settle. In this event the company will take a loss.

What type of injury cases will LawLeaf accept?

LawLeaf will look at almost all personal injury cases. We will also provide each of our clients with a pre settlement non recourse loan.
