Pre-Settlement Funding
This page will eventually explain how pre-settlement funding relates to active lawsuits where liability and damages are still being evaluated.
Pre-settlement funding is connected to the strength of the underlying claim, the evidence available, the applicable law, and the potential settlement or judgment value. Because many cases take months or years to resolve, understanding how these advances fit into the litigation timeline is important for both plaintiffs and their legal teams.

Pre-settlement funding is most commonly associated with personal injury and civil rights litigation, but it can be relevant in a variety of case types. This page will connect readers to related resources such as lawsuit loans, personal injury loans, civil rights lawsuit loans, and the broader legal funding hub.

These connections help illustrate how pre-settlement funding appears across different practice areas and case types.
Key Considerations in Evaluating Pre-Settlement Funding
