PRE-SETTLEMENT LAWSUIT LOANS: FAST, SIMPLE, EASY

Often referred to as “settlement loans,” “lawsuit loans,” or “pre settlement funding,” non-recourse legal funding is an innovative way to access a portion of your future lawsuit settlement money.

Lawsuit funding is a unique form of finance. Unlike traditional financing alternatives, it does not create debt and does not require good credit, monthly payments, or absolute repayment.

It is the non-recourse nature of lawsuit funding that makes it so attractive because the transaction is 100% risk-free to plaintiffs. “Non-recourse” means that the money must only be repaid after the underlying case is resolved successfully, either by settlement or jury verdict.

If it is not, the plaintiff gets to keep the money and has no obligation to repay it.

Most civil lawsuits are eligible for pre settlement funding and post settlement funding, provided the following conditions are met:

1. The plaintiff incurred significant injuries
2. The injuries were caused by someone else’s negligence
3. The plaintiff is represented by a contingent fee attorney
4. There is clear liability against a sufficiently insured defendant

Apply: You can apply online or call (877) 932-2628 and we will take your application over the phone.

Approval: We will contact your attorney’s office and request some case-related information. An underwriting attorney will review the information provided. After approval, a funding agreement is emailed to you and executed via DocuSign.

Receive Cash: Funding can occur within in 1 to 24 hours after we receive your executed agreement. Funds can be sent via wire transfer, FedEx Overnight, or MoneyGram.

Receiving multiple pre settlement loans is common. Eligibility for multiple advances is determined by how much your case is estimated to be worth. after it settles TriMark can then fund up to a predetermined percentage of that amount.

During their review, the underwriter will make two estimates for your case worht: gross value and net value. Both are explained below.

Net will dictate how much pre settlement funding you can get.

Gross Value: This is an estimate of how much your case will likely settle for. Many factors go into this calculation including:

– What are your injuries and how severe are they?
– Are your injuries permanent or can they be corrected?
– How much have similar cases with similar injuries settled for?
– How clear is liability against the defendant?
– Has liability has been accepted or admitted by the defendant or is it being contested?
– How much total insurance coverage is available for this incident?
– How much insurance coverage is available to you? This is relevant if multiple parties were injured.
– Has the defendant already offered to settle? If so, for how much?

Net Value: This figure is reached by subtracting attorney fees, case costs, medical liens and any other deductions from the gross amount.

TriMark can advance:
– Up to 20% of net on pending cases
– Up to 50% of net on settled cases

TriMark offers pe settlement funding and post settlement funding on hundreds of different types of lawsuit. This is far more than virtually any other lawsuit funding companies.

Funding cases on appeal depends on who filed the appeal and why.

1. If the plaintiff lost the first trial and appealed the decision, no.
2. If the defendant lost the first trial and appealed the decision, probably yes.

We will need to know specific details about the case before eligibility can be determined. The best way to find out for sure is to call us at (877) 932-2628.

No, you cannot get a loan from your attorney. Attorneys are prohibited from loaning money to clients, except for advancing litigation costs.

Attorneys have a fiduciary duty to their clients. BAR associations, courts, and other agencies have repeatedly opined that due to a potential conflict of interest, it would be unethical to get a loan from your attorney.

No. Settlement loans without attorney representation or attorney participation are not possible. Representation by a contingent fee attorney is mandatory.

Pro bono (free attorney representation) and pro se (self-representation) are also ineligible.
