Lawsuit Loans - Your Lifeline!

By Dr. Tom Rhudy

Many issues must be considered before providing settlement funding. The cost to the borrower is determined by the risks involved in making a lawsuit loan. Individuals who sustain injury and promise to repay the loan if they win their case may be eligible for a cash advance. You don't have to repay if you lose your case because most such advances are non-recourse.

Individuals who suffer injury or loss may feel overwhelmed by the litigation process. When this happens, it may be time to discuss the need for a lawsuit loan with your attorney. The lender and attorney stay in close contact with one another, discussing your case.

The cost of settlement funding is predicted from the communications between the lender and your attorney, and the offer for your lawsuit loan will be based on that assessment. In some cases, attorney's fees and in virtually all cases, court costs are often the defendant's, i.e., the one against whom you file your claim, responsibility, if you win your case. Furthermore, the defendant may also have to repay fees related to your settlement funding.

The litigation processes may take years to settle. Injured individuals must pay all expenses related to the case, irrespective of how long the case is pending. If you are unable to work, you may find it impossible to hold-out for a reasonable settlement. Of course, that is exactly what the defendant is hoping. It is in just such cases that lawsuit loans may be your lifeline.

Obtaining financial assistance may seem more and more necessary as time goes on and you wait for either a fair settlement offer or a trial date. Your success or failure may be determined by the reliability of the lender/broker with whom you work.

Settlement funding, however, would be appropriate and should only be considered, in most cases, as a last resort. They may be ideal for you if other funding sources are not available. Individuals are wise to carefully consider the costs for obtaining these advances prior to taking the plunge. When you are considering a lawsuit loan, check all available options. The best deal will result from your diligent efforts. - 29969
