What We Do
If you’ve been injured and are waiting for your personal injury lawsuit to settle but need money now, you’re in the right place.
TriMark Legal Funding is one of America’s oldest pre-settlement funding companies. Since 2003, TriMark has provided pre-settlement funding to injured plaintiffs so they can access a portion of their expected recovery before case resolution.
Pre-settlement funding, often referred to as lawsuit loans, is non-recourse and is repaid only if the case is successfully resolved.
Pre-Settlement Funding is a Smart, Risk-Free Alternative to Credit-Based Loans
If your injuries were caused by another party’s negligence, pre-settlement funding may be the right fit. Unlike credit cards and traditional loans, legal funding does not require good credit, a job, income verification, or monthly payments. Instead, approval is based primarily on the strength of the underlying legal claim.
That difference matters because traditional loans create debt that must be repaid, regardless of injuries or financial hardship. By contrast, pre-settlement funding provides cash now from a future recovery without incurring new debt, with repayment contingent on the outcome of the case.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Requests Are Evaluated
TriMark Legal Funding evaluates each settlement funding request by reviewing the specific facts, liability, strengths, and risks of the underlying personal injury lawsuit or legal claim.
Because non-recourse funding approval depends almost exclusively on the merits of the plaintiff’s lawsuit or legal claim, low credit scores, bad credit history, and even income verification and unemployment are irrelevant in most cases.
Credit History Exception: Open, active bankruptcies and outstanding, unpaid child‑support liens will generally render applicants ineligible for legal funding due to their potential impact on the future collectability of lawsuit loans.
Attorney Participation Is Required
Upon receipt of each funding request, our underwriters contact the plaintiff’s attorney briefly to review the case, discuss the theory of liability, and obtain case-related documentation. After approval, the attorney must also sign an acknowledgment in the funding agreement before any disbursement is made to the plaintiff.
Pre-Settlement Funding Is A 3-Step Process
Whether you need pre-settlement funding or post-settlement funding, our review and approval process works the same way.
After you apply, we’ll reach out to your attorney to quickly evaluate your case and injuries. Once approved, funds are wired directly to your bank account so they’re available for immediate use.

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ: Lawsuit Loans & Pre-Settlement Funding
📄 What is legal funding and how does it work?
Legal funding is also known as pre-settlement funding or a lawsuit cash advance. It is designed for injured plaintiffs who need access to money while they wait for a settlement that may still be far away.
Unlike a traditional loan, lawsuit funding is non-recourse. In most cases, that means repayment is only owed if the case results in a recovery. If the case is lost, the plaintiff typically owes nothing.
That difference matters because it makes legal funding a plaintiff-oriented option rather than a standard debt obligation. It is intended to reduce financial pressure during litigation, not add to it.
Here’s how the process usually works: you apply online or call (877) 932-2628, and TriMark contacts your attorney to collect the case information needed for review. There are no credit checks, no employment requirements, and no invasive questions about your personal finances.
Approval is based on the strength of the claim, including liability, damages, and the likely settlement value. If the case is approved, funding may be available in as little as a few hours.
Many plaintiffs seek legal funding because insurance companies often use delay tactics to pressure injured people into settling before their cases are fully valued. When bills are piling up, that delay can make a fair settlement harder to hold out for.
Legal funding helps create breathing room so the plaintiff and attorney can focus on the value of the case rather than immediate financial stress. In that sense, it can help balance negotiations when the other side is trying to take advantage of time.
The money can usually be used for everyday expenses such as rent, groceries, medical bills, childcare, or transportation. There are generally no monthly payments, and repayment is handled automatically from the settlement if the case succeeds.
Legal funding is not traditional debt. It is a risk-based financial tool that can help plaintiffs stay afloat while pursuing compensation through the legal process.
For many people, pre-settlement lawsuit funding can mean the difference between accepting a quick low offer and waiting for the outcome their case may deserve.
📄 How does pre-settlement funding work?
Lawsuit loans and pre-settlement funding are non-recourse lawsuit cash advances that allow injured plaintiffs to access a portion of their future settlement before their case resolves.
In practice, that means a lawsuit funding company reviews your personal injury, employment, or other civil case and advances funds today in exchange for repayment from your settlement or verdict once the case is resolved. If your case is lost, you typically owe nothing. That is why these products are often called “non-recourse” lawsuit loans and settlement loans.
When you apply for pre-settlement funding, the lawsuit loan company will usually ask for basic information about your claim and your attorney’s contact details.
When they evaluate your case for funding, a process commonly referred to as underwriting, they do not consider your credit score, income, or job history like a bank. Instead, they focus almost entirely on the strength of the claim, liability, damages, insurance coverage, types of injury, and the expected value of your lawsuit.
Your attorney is often asked to share documents, updates, and their professional assessment so the funder can estimate risk, likely case value, and the approximate timeline to settlement or trial.
After approval, many plaintiffs receive funds within 2 to 48 hours, typically via wire transfer to their bank accounts. The money can be used for rent, medical bills, car payments, childcare, or to keep the lights on while the case progresses.
Because pre-settlement funding is non-recourse, the funding company’s repayment is tied directly to your case’s outcome, and they bear the risk of nonpayment if the case fails.
That benefit comes with a cost: fees are higher than traditional bank loans, and regulations vary by state.
Reputable lawsuit funding companies should provide a written funding agreement that clearly details all rates and terms, and they should encourage you to review the contract with your attorney.
That way, you understand the total payback, how the lien will be repaid from your settlement proceeds, and whether a lawsuit loan or pre-settlement funding advance is appropriate for your situation.
📄 How much money can I get with a pre-settlement loan?
How much your settlement advance request is approved for will depend on several factors, including the extent of your injuries, overall case value, strength of liability against the defendant, available insurance coverage, the amount you request, and the expected outcome of your case.
TriMark Legal Funding can typically advance up to about 20% of a plaintiff’s estimated net settlement value (gross settlement less attorney fees, case costs, medical liens, etc.), though some cases—especially those involving severe or catastrophic injuries or high insurance limits—may qualify for significantly more.
TriMark evaluates several key factors when determining your funding amount:
🔸 The severity of your injuries
🔸 The clarity of liability
🔸 The available insurance coverage
🔸 Your attorney’s litigation strategy
🔸 The expected timeline to settlement
Because legal funding is non-recourse, the funding company must ensure your case has strong recovery potential. But TriMark’s goal is always to provide enough funding to meaningfully improve your financial stability without overleveraging your future injury settlement.
Most plaintiffs receive between $1,000 and $100,000, depending on case type. Auto accidents, slip and fall settlements (with or without surgery), workplace injury claims, and settlement funding for medical malpractice cases often fall within this range.
High-value cases—such as wrongful death, commercial litigation, or severe traumatic injuries—may qualify for six or seven-figure funding.
TriMark works directly with your attorney to determine a responsible funding amount that supports your immediate needs while preserving your long-term financial outcome.
The goal is not to “max out” your case. It’s to provide strategic, ethical, and sustainable support, customized to your particular circumstances, that can help you stay afloat while your attorney fights for maximum compensation.
Legal funding is designed to help you survive the wait—not sacrifice your future. With the right amount of funding, you can stay financially stable, avoid predatory lenders, and give your attorney the time they need to secure the settlement you deserve.
📄 What types of cases are eligible for legal funding?
Pre-settlement legal funding is available for a wide range of personal injury and civil litigation cases, and eligibility is based on the strength of your claim—not your credit, income, or financial background.
If you were injured due to someone else’s negligence and you have an attorney representing you on a contingency fee basis, there is a strong chance your case qualifies.
The most common types of cases that qualify include:
🔸 Car accidents
🔸 Truck accidents
🔸 Motorcycle accidents
🔸 Pedestrian accidents
🔸 Slip and fall accidents
🔸 Premises liability claims
🔸 Workplace injuries involving third-party liability
🔸 Legal funding for workers’ compensation
🔸 Medical malpractice
🔸 Product liability and defective products
🔸 Wrongful death cases
TriMark also funds more complex or high-value cases, including:
🔸 Mass torts
🔸 Construction accidents
🔸 Nursing home abuse and neglect
🔸 Commercial litigation
The key requirement is simple: you must have an attorney, and your case must have clear liability and strong recovery potential. TriMark evaluates the facts, evidence, injuries, and insurance coverage—not your personal finances.
Lawsuit loans exist because plaintiffs often face financial hardship while waiting for a settlement. Insurance companies know this and use delay tactics to pressure injured people into accepting less-than-fair settlement offers.
By providing fast, risk-free financial support, legal funding helps level the playing field and gives your attorney the time needed to pursue maximum compensation.
If you’re unsure whether your case qualifies, the fastest way to find out is to apply online or call us at (877) 932-2628. TriMark can typically determine eligibility within minutes of speaking with your attorney. Most personal injury cases qualify, and if yours does, you could receive funding very quickly.
📄 What can I use lawsuit funding for?
Legal funding is designed to help injured plaintiffs cover essential living expenses while they wait for their case to settle.
Once approved, the funds are yours to use as you choose. There are no restrictions, no spending requirements, and no oversight. TriMark understands that when you’re injured, out of work, and facing financial pressure, you need flexibility—not rules.
Most plaintiffs use legal funding to cover urgent or everyday expenses, such as:
🔸 Rent or mortgage payments
🔸 Medical bills and prescriptions
🔸 Groceries and household essentials
🔸 Utilities, phone, and internet
🔸 Childcare and school expenses
🔸 Transportation, gas, or car repairs
🔸 Past due bills or emergency expenses
Some plaintiffs also use funding to avoid predatory lenders, payday loans, or high-interest credit cards. Legal funding is non-recourse, meaning repayment only happens if your case settles successfully. There are no monthly payments and no personal liability.
The purpose of legal funding is simple: to help you stay financially stable so you don’t feel pressured to accept a lowball settlement.
Insurance companies often delay cases intentionally, hoping financial stress will force you to settle early. Legal funding removes that leverage by allowing you to wait for a fair offer.
Whether you need to catch up on rent, keep the lights on, pay for medical treatment, or simply breathe easier, legal funding gives you the freedom to focus on healing—not financial survival.
Once the funds are disbursed, they are yours to use in whatever way best supports your life and recovery.
📄 What happens if I lose my case?
One of the biggest concerns plaintiffs have when considering legal funding is, “What happens if my case doesn’t settle or I lose in court?”
The answer is simple, and it’s one of the reasons legal funding is considered one of the safest financial tools available to injured plaintiffs: If you lose your case, you owe absolutely nothing.
Legal funding is non-recourse, meaning repayment is tied entirely to the outcome of your case.
If your attorney does not recover compensation on your behalf, the legal funding company absorbs the loss—not you. There are no collections, no credit damage, no wage garnishments, and no personal liability of any kind.
You keep the money you received, and the funding company bears the loss.
This structure exists to protect plaintiffs during one of the most stressful periods of their lives. After an accident, many people are unable to work, face medical bills, or struggle to cover basic living expenses.
Traditional lenders won’t help, and even if they do, they require repayment regardless of outcome. Legal funding is the opposite. It is designed to remove risk, not create it.
Here’s what does not happen if you lose your case:
🔸 No repayment of the advance
🔸 No interest owed
🔸 No fees or penalties
🔸 No impact on your credit score
🔸 No collections or legal action
Legal funding gives you the financial breathing room to pursue justice without fear. It allows your attorney to negotiate from a position of strength, not desperation. Most importantly, it ensures you never incur additional financial harm for standing up for your rights.
If your case is lost, you walk away owing nothing. That’s the promise—and the protection—of non-recourse funding.
📄 Will a lawsuit loan affect my settlement?
Legal funding does not reduce the value of your settlement, change the outcome of your case, or interfere with your attorney’s strategy.
What it does affect—positively—is your ability to hold out for a fair settlement instead of accepting a lowball offer because you’re under financial pressure.
Insurance companies know that injured plaintiffs are often struggling financially. They use delay tactics, hoping you’ll become desperate enough to settle early for far less than your case is worth.
Legal funding removes that leverage by giving you the financial stability to wait for a fair offer.
Here’s how legal funding can actually strengthen your settlement outcome:
🔸 You gain time for your attorney to build a stronger case
🔸 You avoid financial desperation, which leads to better negotiation leverage
🔸 You can continue medical treatment, which increases case value
🔸 You avoid predatory lenders, which protects your settlement from unnecessary debt
Legal funding is not debt. It does not appear on your credit report, does not require monthly payments, and does not create long-term financial obligations. Repayment happens only if your case settles successfully, and it is handled directly by your attorney.
The only impact legal funding has on your settlement is the repayment amount itself, which is deducted from your settlement proceeds.
This is similar to how attorney fees, medical liens, and other case-related expenses are handled. TriMark prioritizes transparency, so you always know exactly what will be repaid at settlement.
In short: legal funding doesn’t hurt your settlement—it protects it. It gives you the breathing room to pursue the full value of your case without being forced into a premature, unfair resolution.
📄 Is pre-settlement funding safe?
Yes. Legal funding is one of the safest financial tools available to injured plaintiffs and is specifically designed to protect people already in a vulnerable position.
Unlike traditional loans, legal funding is non-recourse, meaning you only repay the advance if your case settles successfully. If you lose your case, you owe nothing—no fees, no interest, no repayment of any kind. This structure eliminates the financial risk typically associated with borrowing.
Legal funding is also safe because it does not involve your personal finances. There are:
🔸 No credit checks
🔸 No employment verification
🔸 No income requirements
🔸 No personal guarantees
🔸 No monthly payments
Your credit score is never pulled, never affected, and never reported. Legal funding will not appear on your credit report, and it will not impact your ability to borrow in the future.
Another reason legal funding is safe is that your attorney is involved throughout the process.
They review the funding agreement, confirm the accuracy of case details, and ensure the terms are fair and appropriate. This protects you from predatory lenders and ensures you receive funding that aligns with your best interests.
TriMark has been providing legal funding for more than two decades and is known for its transparency, ethical underwriting, and plaintiff-first approach.
Every funding agreement clearly outlines the terms, repayment amounts, and your rights as a plaintiff. There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no confusing fine print.
Legal funding is not debt. It is not a loan. It is a strategic financial tool designed to help you stay afloat while your attorney fights for the full value of your case.
When used responsibly—and with a reputable company like TriMark—it is one of the safest, most plaintiff-friendly financial solutions available.
📄 Will applying for lawsuit funding delay or slow down my case?
No. Applying for legal funding will not slow down your case, interfere with your attorney’s strategy, or impact the legal process in any way.
The legal funding process proceeds independently and requires minimal involvement from your attorney—usually just a few documents, a brief conversation about the case, and a signature on the funding documents.
TriMark’s team is experienced in working efficiently with law firms, and the entire process is designed to be fast, simple, and unobtrusive.
Here’s what your attorney typically provides:
🔸 Basic case details
🔸 Medical records or treatment summaries
🔸 Insurance information
🔸 Liability documentation
🔸 Estimated settlement value
This information is usually already in your attorney’s possession, so providing it does not require additional work or delay. Once TriMark receives the documents, underwriting typically takes less than an hour.
Legal funding companies understand that attorneys are busy and that plaintiffs need fast support. That’s why the process is streamlined to avoid unnecessary back-and-forth. Most cases are approved the same day, and funds are delivered within hours.
Legal funding also does not influence your attorney’s strategy. Your attorney remains in complete control of your case, and TriMark does not interfere with negotiations, litigation decisions, or settlement timing.
The funding exists solely to support your financial stability—not to shape the legal outcome.
Legal funding can indirectly help your case by giving your attorney more time to negotiate. When you’re not under financial pressure, you’re less likely to push for a quick settlement, which allows your attorney to pursue the full value of your claim.
Applying for legal funding is fast, safe, and completely separate from the legal process. It will not slow your case down—it will simply help you survive the wait.
📄 Is a lawsuit loan a good idea, and what risks, costs, and protections should plaintiffs understand before taking one out?
A lawsuit loan—often marketed as a pre-settlement lawsuit loan, lawsuit cash advance, or non‑recourse legal funding—is not a traditional loan at all.
It is usually structured as a non‑recourse cash advance secured solely by your pending claim, meaning the funding company is repaid only if your case settles or you win at trial.
If you lose, you typically owe nothing back, and the funder cannot pursue your personal assets, wages, or bank accounts to collect.
This non‑recourse structure is the defining characteristic that separates a lawsuit loan from bank credit and is one reason financially stressed plaintiffs find it attractive.
Whether a lawsuit loan is a good idea depends on your situation, the strength of your case, the terms you’re offered, and most importantly, your underlying financial situation.
The core benefit is immediate liquidity: you can use a lawsuit loan to cover medical treatment, rehabilitation, rent or mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, transportation, or to replace income lost while you’re unable to work.
By stabilizing your finances, pre-settlement funding can reduce pressure to accept an early, lowball settlement simply because you are desperate for cash.
An appropriately sized lawsuit loan may empower you to manage your finances, support your legal strategy, and give your attorney more time to negotiate a full value settlement.
However, plaintiffs should go in with eyes wide open. Because the funding company bears significant risk—especially in non‑recourse arrangements—expect fees to be substantially higher than those you might see in traditional credit-based and real estate-secured transactions.
Before signing any lawsuit loan agreement, make sure it includes a clear written breakdown of all fees, simple, compound, or tiered rates, and projected payoffs for different settlement timelines.
Review the contract with your attorney, confirm they are willing to cooperate with the funder, and make sure the total potential repayment still leaves you with a meaningful net recovery after legal fees, case expenses, and the lawsuit loan are paid.
Used carefully, a non‑recourse lawsuit loan can be a lifeline; used blindly, it can erode the very compensation you fought to obtain.
📄 Isn’t legal funding really just a loan?
No—legal funding is not a loan. There are several important differences, and understanding them is crucial.
Traditional loans require repayment irrespective of the outcome of your personal injury lawsuit.
Loans typically involve credit checks, income verification, personal guarantees, and long-term financial obligations. Lawsuit funding is the opposite. It is a non-recourse cash advance tied exclusively to the future proceeds of your settlement. If your case does not settle or you lose in court, you owe absolutely nothing, and you have no obligation to repay the advance.
This structure protects plaintiffs from financial risk. Because repayment is contingent on a successful outcome, the funding company—not you—assumes the risk. That means no debt, no monthly payments, no credit reporting, and no impact on your credit score. Legal funding never appears on your credit report and never affects your ability to borrow in the future.
Lawsuit funding approval is based solely on the merits of your case. TriMark evaluates liability, damages, your injuries, total insurance coverage available, and your attorney’s strategy—not your financial history. This makes legal funding accessible to people who are unemployed, under financial strain, or dealing with poor credit.
The purpose of legal funding is not to create debt; it’s to give plaintiffs the financial stability they need to pursue justice. Insurance companies often use delay tactics to pressure injured people into accepting low settlements. Legal funding removes that leverage by empowering you to wait for a fair offer.
In short, loans create risk. Legal funding eliminates it.
Loans require repayment regardless of outcome. Legal funding requires repayment only if you win. Loans can damage your credit. Legal funding never touches it.
For plaintiffs, the difference isn’t just technical—it’s transformational.
📄 How long does it take to get a cash advance on a lawsuit?
Most plaintiffs receive legal funding the same day or the next, often within a few hours of receiving their approval and signing their funding agreement.
TriMark’s process is intentionally streamlined because injured plaintiffs typically need fast, reliable financial relief—not more paperwork, delays, or uncertainty.
The timeline depends primarily on how quickly your attorney can provide the necessary case documents. Once TriMark receives all the information needed to evaluate your case, underwriting typically takes an hour or two.
There are no credit checks, no employment verification, and no personal financial review. The only thing that matters is the strength of your case.
Here’s the typical process:
• Submit a simple online application
• TriMark contacts your attorney for case details
• Underwriting reviews liability, damages, and insurance
• Approval decision is issued
• Funds are delivered via wire, ACH, or prepaid debit card
Many plaintiffs apply in the morning and have money in hand by the afternoon. For urgent situations—such as eviction notices, utility shutoffs, or medical needs—TriMark prioritizes rapid processing.
Legal funding is designed to remove financial pressure, not add to it.
Providing fast access to cash allows plaintiffs to stay afloat while their attorney negotiates for the full value of their case. Instead of accepting a lowball offer because you’re desperate, you gain the breathing room to wait for a fair settlement.
Speed matters. Stability matters. And TriMark delivers both.
📄 Do I need good credit to qualify for settlement funding?
No. Your credit score does not affect your eligibility for pre-settlement lawsuit funding.
Unlike traditional loans, legal funding does not involve credit checks, income verification, employment history, or personal financial documentation. Approval is based solely on the strength and merits of your case—not your financial past.
This makes legal funding accessible to plaintiffs who are:
🔸 Unemployed due to injury
🔸 Facing eviction or repossession
🔸 Struggling with medical bills
🔸 Dealing with poor or no credit
🔸 Unable to work while recovering
Legal funding companies evaluate only one thing: the likelihood that your case will settle successfully.
TriMark reviews liability, damages, medical records, insurance coverage, and your attorney’s strategy—not your creditworthiness. Because repayment is contingent on winning your case, your personal finances are irrelevant.
This is especially important for injured plaintiffs who are financially vulnerable. Many people lose income after an accident, fall behind on bills, or face mounting medical expenses. Traditional lenders may deny them, but legal funding exists specifically to help people in this situation.
Your credit will not be pulled. Your credit score will not be affected. Legal funding will never appear on your credit report. There are no monthly payments, no debt obligations, and no personal liability. If your case is lost, you owe nothing.
Legal funding is designed to support plaintiffs—not penalize them. It gives you the financial breathing room to stay afloat while your attorney fights for the full value of your case. Whether your credit is excellent, poor, or nonexistent, it has no bearing on your eligibility.
📄 How does lawsuit funding repayment work?
Repayment for legal funding is simple, automatic, and completely risk-free.
You only repay the lawsuit advance if your case settles or you win at trial. If your case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing—no fees, no interest, no repayment of any kind.
This is what makes legal funding non-recourse, and it’s one of the most significant advantages for plaintiffs.
Here’s how repayment works:
🔸 Your attorney receives the settlement funds from the defendant’s insurer
🔸 They pay themselves and all outstanding medical liens, fees, and obligations
🔸 They repay the legal funding company directly from the settlement proceeds
🔸 You receive the remaining balance
There are no monthly payments, no credit reporting, and no personal liability. You never have to write a check or make a payment yourself. Everything is handled between your attorney and TriMark during the settlement disbursement process.
Because repayment is tied to the outcome of your case, TriMark assumes all financial risk. If your case does not settle or you lose in court, TriMark absorbs the loss—not you. This structure protects plaintiffs from debt, collections, and financial harm.
Repayment amounts are clearly outlined in your funding agreement, and TriMark prioritizes transparency. There are no hidden fees, surprise charges, or compounding interest. You will always know exactly what will be repaid at settlement.
Legal funding is designed to support you—not burden you. By eliminating monthly payments and tying repayment to a successful outcome, it gives you the financial stability to let your attorney negotiate for the full value of your case without pressure.
📄 Does my attorney need to be involved?
Yes. Your attorney must be involved in the legal funding process, and this requirement exists to protect you, ensure transparency, and maintain the integrity of your case.
Legal funding is tied directly to your future settlement, so your attorney plays a critical role in verifying case details, reviewing the funding agreement, and handling repayment at settlement.
Your attorney’s involvement ensures:
🔸 Accurate case evaluation
🔸 Proper documentation and verification
🔸 Ethical funding amounts
🔸 Clear communication between all parties
🔸 Smooth repayment at settlement
TriMark works directly with your attorney to gather essential case information such as liability details, medical records, insurance coverage, and expected settlement value. This allows underwriting to make an informed decision quickly—often within hours.
Your attorney also reviews the funding agreement to ensure it aligns with your best interests.
They confirm that the terms are fair, transparent, and appropriate for your case. This protects you from predatory lenders and ensures you receive funding that supports your needs without jeopardizing your future settlement.
During settlement, your attorney handles repayment automatically. You never have to write a check, make a payment, or negotiate anything yourself. The attorney receives the settlement funds, pays any liens or obligations—including the funding amount—and then distributes the remaining balance to you.
Legal funding is a team effort. Your attorney advocates for your legal rights, and TriMark supports your financial stability while your case progresses. Together, they help you stay afloat, avoid lowball offers, and pursue the full compensation you deserve.
📄 How much does pre-settlement funding cost?
The cost of pre-settlement funding varies based on the type of case, the strength of the claim, the expected settlement timeline, and the level of risk involved. Post-settlement funding generally costs less because settled cases carry lower risk.
Because legal funding is non-recourse—meaning repayment only happens if you win—rates reflect the risk the funding company assumes. Unlike traditional loans, there are no monthly payments, no compounding interest, and no personal liability.
TriMark prioritizes transparency and fairness. Before you sign anything, you’ll receive a transparent, easy-to-understand funding agreement that outlines:
🔸 The funded amount
🔸 The repayment amount at various time intervals
🔸 Any fees associated with the advance
🔸 Your rights and protections as a plaintiff
There are no hidden fees, no surprise charges, and no confusing fine print. Everything is disclosed upfront so you can make an informed decision.
Legal funding costs more than a traditional loan because the funding company assumes 100% of the risk. If your case is lost, the legal funding company absorbs the loss—not you.
This risk-free structure is what makes legal funding accessible to plaintiffs who cannot qualify for traditional financing due to unemployment, injury, or poor credit.
The goal is not to burden you—it’s to support you. TriMark works with your attorney to ensure the funding amount is appropriate, ethical, and aligned with your best interests.
The cost is always weighed against the value it provides: the ability to stay afloat financially, avoid predatory lenders, and give your attorney the time needed to secure maximum compensation.
Legal funding is an investment in your ability to pursue justice without sacrificing your financial stability. And with TriMark, you always know exactly what you’re agreeing to before you sign.
📄 Can I get additional pre-settlement funding later?
Short answer: It depends.
Pre-settlement funding approval is based on several factors, not the least of which is the anticipated future settlement value of a given legal claim. More specifically, the maximum approved funding amount is generally calculated as a percentage of the anticipated net settlement amount the plaintiff is expected to receive.
Personal injury lawsuits involving only soft tissue injuries and other non-permanent or non-surgical injuries will obviously settle for far less than claims with permanent, life-altering, or catastrophic injuries, as well as those requiring multiple surgeries and lengthy recoveries.
Many plaintiffs may qualify for additional funding as their case progresses, especially if new evidence emerges, medical treatment continues, the expected settlement value increases, or if they didn’t take the full amount they were approved for with their first advance.
Supplemental funding is common, and TriMark can evaluate additional funding requests quickly—often within hours.
To determine whether you qualify for more funding, TriMark reviews updated case information from your attorney.
This may include:
🔸 New medical records or treatment updates
🔸 Revised settlement estimates
🔸 Additional evidence supporting liability
🔸 Changes in insurance coverage or policy limits
🔸 Updated litigation strategy or case posture
Because legal funding is non-recourse, TriMark must ensure that any additional advance remains within a responsible percentage of your case’s projected value.
The goal is to support your financial needs without jeopardizing your future settlement.
Supplemental funding is invaluable for plaintiffs who:
• Are still unable to work due to injury
• Have ongoing medical expenses
• Are facing prolonged litigation delays
• Need additional support to avoid financial hardship
The process for additional funding is typically faster than the initial approval because TriMark already has your case on file. Once your attorney provides updated documentation, underwriting can issue a decision quickly.
There is no limit to the number of times you may request additional funding, but the strength and value of your case must support each request. TriMark works closely with your attorney to ensure all funding remains ethical, responsible, and aligned with your long-term financial well-being.
If your case value has increased or your financial situation has changed, supplemental funding may be available to help you stay stable while your attorney continues fighting for maximum compensation.

Get the Immediate Financial Relief You Need — Without Waiting For Your Settlement
Insurance companies use “Delay, Deny, Defend” tactics to pressure injured people into accepting lowball settlements. Insurance adjusters drag their feet. Defense attorneys stall. And at the same time, medical bills continue to pile up, and maybe you’ve fallen behind on your monthly bills, too.
Meanwhile, the never-ending challenge is that you’re fully expected to survive for months or years with limited or no income. It’s enough to transform an otherwise peaceful recovery into a recurring financial nightmare.
TriMark Legal Funding changes all that. We can provide a fast, affordable settlement advance with no restrictions on how you can use the funds.
Our legal funding can help you:
🔸 Cover rent, mortgage, utilities, groceries, and essential living expenses

Non‑Recourse Lawsuit Loans That Protect Injured Plaintiffs
Our non-recourse lawsuit cash advances are designed to protect you. Repayment ONLY comes from your settlement — never out of pocket.
Pre settlement funding is approved based on the strengths and merits of your case, not your credit score, so there are no credit checks, no income verification, no upfront fees, and no risk. If your case doesn’t settle, you owe nothing.
This is the fastest, safest, most trusted legal funding in America.
If you’re struggling and need immediate financial assistance, TriMark can put cash in your hands in as little as 24 hours.
