Personal injury lawsuit funding allow victims who have suffered serious
injury or the loss of a family member obtain a cash advance against the
expected settlement of their lawsuit. The intent of personal
injury lawsuit funding is to help victims in difficult circumstances
who have exhausted their other financial resources. The cash advance on
your personal injury case can be used anyway you choose, but the
advances are usually used for the following.
- mortgage payments
- rent payments
- medical expenses
- car payments
- utility payments
- food expenses
- expert witness fees
There are no upfront fees and no monthly payments while you wait for
your case to settle. If there is no recovery in your case, then
you owe nothing back. You do not need to have a job. In fact many
personal injury victims either are unable to work or have lost their
jobs as result of the time taken off to get treatment for their
injuries. Your credit score does not matter as long as you are not
currently in Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy.
Some of the types of personal injury situations for which
lawsuit funding can be obtained include
(but are not limited to) the following.
The types of injuries that qualify for personal injury lawsuit
funding
include (but are not limited to) the following.
- herniated spinal disks

substances in the air such as mold or chemicals
- shoulder injuries (e.g. rotator cuff and torn muscles)

- head injuries
- an injury requiring surgery

are usually
smaller if these are the most serious injuries in the case because the
overall case value is lower)
