COVID-19 Settlement Loans

Once upon a time, lawsuit loans and pre-settlement funding were used only by injured plaintiffs in dire financial straits. Legal funding existed to provide the money they needed to pay bills while their attorneys negotiated the most appropriate lawsuit settlement for their injuries.

But on March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) officially declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. Two days later, on March 13, 2020, President Donald Trump followed suit and declared a national emergency for COVID-19.

California was the first state to issue a statewide stay-at-home order on March 19, 2020. And in the days that followed, a cascade of other states issued their own stay-at-home orders:

By April 7, 2020, the United States was engulfed in a nationwide lockdown, and over 90% of its residents were confined to their homes. The following states did not order statewide stay-at-home orders during the pandemic: Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming.

Legal Funding To The Rescue

With the global pandemic in full swing and statewide stay-at-home orders in effect in 43 of the 50 states, millions of businesses were forced to close and, literally overnight, tens of millions of Americans found themselves out of work. Many began running out of money; there was no end in sight, and, for a time, it seemed like just about everyone was in dire financial straits.

The last thing anyone needed right then was more empty platitudes about how “we’re all in this together.” What people needed was money. Rapidly.

TriMark Legal Funding has the money injured plaintiffs need, so as one of America’s foremost pre-settlement funding companies, TriMark chose to lead by example and stepped up to help.

Automatic $3,500 Pre-Settlement Loan Approval

Since its inception in 2003, TriMark Legal Funding has been one of America’s most innovative pre-settlement funding companies.

Effective March 21, 2020, TriMark Legal Funding is proud to announce that we are the first lawsuit funding company in America to provide automatic-approval, no-document, COVID-19 lawsuit loans.

Note: On April 29, 2020, due to its overwhelming popularity, the program was extended indefinitely. This program was officially ended on May 10, 2023, five days after the World Health Organization declared the pandemic over.

Our goal for this COVID-19 relief program is to approve all new, qualified plaintiff funding requests and provide a $3,500 emergency pre-settlement loan to every eligible applicant who wants one.

To achieve that goal, we have streamlined our review process down to the bare minimum so that we can automatically approve every legitimate, qualified applicant who applies for lawsuit funding.

You read that right:

  • Automatic $3,500 approval on all qualifying cases to any plaintiff who needs money now
  • Funding target is 4 to 24 hours
  • No credit checks
  • No case documents
  • No underwriting fees

TriMark’s rate for this exclusive offer is 2% per month, non-compounding, and capped at 2X for your safety.

Lawsuit Funding Requests Over $3,500

TriMark added this program to provide as many people as possible with immediate cash. At the same time, we are still processing all of our regular funding requests.

TriMark provides non-recourse settlement loans from $500 up to $250,000+ on a wide variety of cases.

All requests over $3,500 must still undergo our standard underwriting review, which typically takes about 24 hours.

Recently, however, we’ve been getting the same question repeatedly:

No More Paper Contracts

All funding transactions are now 100% contactless. We will now process funding agreements using eSignature (DocuSign) to comply with the CDC’s social distancing guidelines. If you are not familiar, DocuSign is the world’s #1 way to sign documents securely and electronically.

How Coronavirus Lawsuit Loans Work

All plaintiffs with a qualifying case * and no prior funding are encouraged to apply for an immediate $3,500 lawsuit cash advance. Existing clients and anyone who has received funding from another company are not eligible for this offer.

To simplify and expedite approval and processing, TriMark will not require any case-related documentation from your attorney. We are also waiving our regular underwriting fee.

Here is all we need:

🔸 Completed application
🔸 Copy of your driver’s license or state-issued ID
🔸 A brief conversation with your attorney

Once we receive the executed funding agreement from you and your attorney, we will wire funds directly to your checking account.

Qualifications

Standard eligibility and ineligibility requirements for this offer:

🔸 Applicant must be the plaintiff in a pending civil lawsuit or claim (defendants and criminal cases are ineligible).

🔸 Plaintiff must be 18 years of age or older (if the only injured plaintiff is a minor, the case is ineligible).

🔸 Plaintiff must have representation by a contingent fee attorney (Pro Bono, Pro Se, and hourly-billed representation arrangements are ineligible).

🔸 Plaintiff must have sustained significant physical, emotional or financial injuries (no-injury and minor injury-only cases are ineligible).

🔸 Applicants with either open or recently discharged bankruptcies are ineligible.

🔸 Applicants with open or unpaid child support liens are ineligible.

🔸 Defendant must have had sufficient insurance coverage in force at the time of the incident.

🔸 The settlement check must pass through the plaintiff attorney’s trust account (if payment is sent directly to the plaintiff, the case is ineligible).

Restrictions and Exclusions

Unfortunately, some restrictions and exclusions apply on a state-by-state or case-by-case basis, so not everyone will qualify for this offer.

The following case types are ineligible for this offer:

▪️ Workers’ compensation settlements
▪️ Commercial litigation
▪️ Mass tort litigation
▪️ Multidistrict litigation

All funding requests above $3,500, all existing clients, and all applicants with prior legal funding from another company are ineligible for this offer. (If any of these conditions apply, the funding request will be subject to our standard underwriting procedure and fees).
