Lawsuit Loans: Does Your Case Have What it Takes to Qualify? Part I
Why do we even refer to it as a lawsuit loan? It is clearly not a loan in any sense of the word! To be precise, we should refer to it as settlement funding, a form of funding provided in advance of your settling your claim. One may even go so far as to refer to it as venture-capital.
Settlement loans have an advantage, in that they carry no risk for the applicant, hence, the term, "non-recourse."
An agreement is made between the applicant and the settlement loan lender. Once the agreement is made, if you don't win your case, you are not required to repay the amount funded. This is an aspect of settlement funding that may be used to provide a no-risk resource of financial help during a pending proceeding.
Lawsuit loans may be provided for numerous types of cases. It is often instructive to understand not only the types of cases for which settlement funding may be obtained, but also some of the quirks involved with the specific type of case.
Personal injury suits very frequently occur as a result of motor vehicle collisions: Personal injuries of many types occur as result of incidents out of which this type of claim arises. On top of damage to the vehicle you occupied, there are, on many occasions, hospital bills, ambulance bills, and other medical expenses to pay. Due to the stakes involved in such cases, they are often not settled for years.
Injuries children sustain: Obtaining a pre-settlement loan for these cases is often difficult. History teaches us that, sadly, guardians often pursue a claim to benefit them, without considering the injured child's interests, creating the need for the Court to appoint an attorney ad litem. The child's interests may be antithetical to that of the guardian's, resulting in the attorney ad litem representing the child in an adversarial manner.
Slip-and-Fall: This mechanism of injury is the most common type of personal injury. Due to their prevalence, many retailers are extremely aggressive, frequently unreasonably so, in fighting such claims. In many instances, it will be found that video-surveillance of the incident is available, and must be procured. Furthermore, it is very important clearly describe the surface on which the slip occurred, items that created obstacles in your path that produced your fall, etc. If witnesses observed the incident, elicit testimony from them if necessary to support the claim made. Details regarding the mechanism of injury should never be left to chance! - 16931
