Plaintiff Legal Funding
When you’re injured, out of work, and your attorney is negotiating the lawsuit settlement you deserve, waiting isn’t easy. What is easy, however, is falling behind on your bills.
But your injuries weren’t your fault, so why should you have to suffer from stress or anxiety or go without the things you need?
TriMark Legal Funding is here to give you a hand up, right when you need it the most.
Legal Funding Options
Non-recourse accident loans, both post-settlement and pre-settlement, are available for hundreds of different types of lawsuits including car accident loans, employment litigation, slip and fall accident funding, legal funding for workers compensation, and settlement funding for medical malpractice, just to name a few.

Most attorneys agree that legal funding, when used responsibly, can be a game-changer that can help plaintiffs maintain positive financial control while they wait for their settlement.
How Lawsuit Loans Work
Plaintiff legal funding goes by many different names including lawsuit loans, settlement loans, and settlement funding. Whatever you choose to call it, it is actually not a loan*. Instead, it is an outcome-contingent lawsuit cash advance against a portion of your future anticipated settlement award.
Legal funding cash advances are approved based on the strengths and merits of your lawsuit rather than your credit score, so it’s easy to qualify. Plus there are no employment or income requirements like bank loans have, and there are no monthly payments to deal with either.
The advance is only repaid after your case is resolved successfully; either by settlement or jury verdict. And if you lose your case, you keep the money we advanced and owe nothing.
That’s what we mean by 100% risk-free.

Legal Funding FAQ
A: Legal funding is a no-risk cash advance to plaintiffs on a portion of their future anticipated settlements, either while the case is still pending or after it has settled. The money can be used to pay day-to-day living expenses until the plaintiff’s attorney has finished negotiating the lawsuit settlement.
Legal funding is not a loan. Instead, cash advances must only be repaid after the underlying lawsuit is resolved successfully; either by negotiated settlement or jury verdict. If the plaintiff loses, they are under no obligation to repay the advanced funds.
All plaintiff funding provided by TriMark Legal Funding is non-recourse.
A: TriMark Legal Funding’s rates start as low as 2% simple interest – capped at 2x for your safety – but not every case will qualify for that rate.

A: Litigation funding ranges from $1,000 to $10,000,000+.
❇️ Pending Cases: Up to 20% of the anticipated net settlement amount.

A: Lawsuit loans (pre settlement funding or post settlement funding) can help plaintiffs in several ways.
First, legal funding can provide immediate financial relief in as little as 12 to 24 hours. It’s money that can be used to catch up on bills, stop evictions, foreclosures, repossessions, etc., and pay day-to-day essential living expenses like rent or mortgage, car and insurance payments, utilities, groceries, and medical expenses.
Second, eliminating financial pressure means plaintiffs are no longer forced to accept the first lowball settlement offer they get. They can afford to hold out for a potentially larger settlement payout. At the same time, settlement funding can give attorneys extra time to negotiate the maximum compensation their clients deserve.
Even insurance industry insiders agree that litigation funding helps plaintiffs win bigger payouts.

A: Among other things, legal funding rates are determined by the degree of relative risk and uncertainty associated with a given case.
Risk is determined by the degree of case development i.e. how long the case has been open, how much work has been done on it, and whether the case is settled, pending, or on appeal. And if pending, whether liability has been accepted or is being contested by the defendant.
For example, a settled case where an agreement has been reached, the claim release has been signed and the plaintiff is just waiting for the settlement check to arrive has very little risk.
On the other hand, a case with accepted liability in the midst of active settlement negotiations still has inherent risks. But it is far less risk than a case where the defendant has denied liability and is dead-set on having his day in court before a jury.
Likewise, regarding case development, a case that was only opened a week ago has far more unknowns i.e. risk, than say, a case that has been open for 2 years and has depositions, expert reports, and a plaintiff who has had 2 surgeries and fully recovered from her injuries.
