Legal Funding FAQ

❓ Q: What Is Legal Funding?

A: Legal funding is a risk-free cash advance that provides immediate financial relief to injured plaintiffs. They’re easy to qualify for, there are no credit checks, and they are only repaid after the case is resolved successfully.

❓ Q: How Much Does Legal Funding Cost?

A: If you’re thinking about getting a lawsuit cash advance on your case, it makes sense to be concerned about the cost.

The short answer is “it depends”. Read more

Did you file a charge of discrimination against a current or former employer with the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission)? If so, the amount of time it is taking to resolve might be cramping your style in a big way.

Generally, the EEOC requires 180 days to investigate your complaint. If they decide in your favor, they will issue a Notice of Right to Sue. Once they do, you must file your employment discrimination lawsuit within 90 days.

If you still work for the same company, it has undoubtedly disrupted your work environment. If you quit or were terminated, it also probably disrupted your financial situation as well. The mandatory, nationwide COVID-19 quarantine might have even made things worse.

Discrimination itself may already have brought you untold pain and suffering, especially in intangible ways like emotional and psychological. Some may have experienced physical harm. But economic damages tend to exacerbate all the others.

Fortunately, you can turn to an option called lawsuit settlement funding if you are searching for financial assistance while your attorney negotiates your lawsuit settlement.

Those with an EEOC case, active or on standby for settlement, may be eligible for EEOC lawsuit funding.

Go ahead and check if it’s compatible with your case and situation.

Types of Discrimination Lawsuits Eligible For Legal Funding

Here are the different types of discrimination that TriMark currently offers litigation funding on. EEOC considers retaliation and sexual harassment as forms of discrimination, which is why they are listed here also.

What Is Employment Discrimination Pre-settlement Funding?

Offering funding options to plaintiffs is one of the trends that emerged in the law landscape in the late 90s. It remains today at your service in case you are strapped for cash but don’t want to create additional debt. 

It’s important to understand what it is to know if it’s the right solution for you before you sign an application form.

  • Fast and reliable: This has got to be one of the quickest ways to access liquid funds in times of urgent or emergency needs.
  • Affordable: It features low rates, which are often difficult, or impossible, to expect from the bank or payday loans.
  • Non-recourse cash advance: A litigation financing firm will base their approval of your application on your claim’s merits. When you pass, they will advance you a portion of your settlement money’s net value. So it only makes sense if you’re asked to pay the advance once you receive your settlement check.
  • Risk-free: In connection with the above, you won’t have to even get anxious about where to source your monthly payments. You’ve already suffered enough, and you need a kind of breather.

What if your case does not settle or lose in a final trial? You can keep your advanced money. There’s no need to pay it back.

What Is Discrimination in the Workplace?

Different types of harassment, retaliation, and bias in hiring, job assignment, promotion, termination, and compensation constitute what we consider work-related discriminatory practices. 

They are illegal. Federal and state laws exist to protect job applicants and employees from these acts.

When these rights are violated, a person or group can file a claim with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The agency, created based on the Civil Rights Act, is in charge of investigating allegations, settling confirmed cases, and filing a lawsuit for unsuccessful ones.

Unfortunately, race claims are still the most common among those filed with the EEOC. Yet, they also have the lowest success rate.

That says a lot when those who get their desired result, such as money or change in work conditions, make up only 18% of the total yearly cases of 100,000.

Some have confidence in the EEOC and chosen to pull out their case and go to trial on their own.

It’s not a problem of fairness, however, but a lack of budget and manpower that makes the EEOC less effective in its job. Still, if the fundamental issues are addressed, it can assign more resources to every case. More allegations can be confirmed. 

Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

The EEOC enforces anti-discrimination laws, including Retaliation, the Equal Pay Act, Age Discrimination in Employment Act, and American with Disabilities Act. 

Filing a charge with the agency can be done online or in person. If your case involves the Equal Pay Act, you can go directly to court without seeking aid from the EEOC.

The rest must take note of the filing deadline based on where the discrimination happened. In general, you have 180 days from the last time of incident before forfeiting your right to take legal action.

Some nuances exist, such as follows:

  • The time limit is extended to 300 days if there is a state law prohibiting discrimination on the same basis and a state or local agency enforcing it.
  • Age discrimination can only be extended to 300 days if there’s a state law prohibiting this workplace discrimination basis, as enforced by a state agency or authority.

Filing as soon as possible is recommended, of course. Weekends and holidays are counted toward the 180 or 360 days. But you have until the next business day if the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday.

How to File an Employment Discrimination Charge with the EEOC

You have several options to take when filing for a discrimination charge with the EEOC:

  • Online: Fill out the form here.
  • In person: Go to the closest or any EEOC field office. A staff member can listen to and assess your complaint, helping you file a claim based on the information you provide.
  • State or local FEPA: Find a nearby Fair Employment Practices Agency, which is a state or local agency enforcing employment discrimination laws. Both the FEPAs and the EEOC practice protection of charging party rights at federal and state levels through dual filing, which is governed by worksharing agreements.
  • By mail: You may send a letter containing all the information stated here to the EEOC.

The federal agency does not take charges through calls. But you may contact them at 1-800-669-4000 to discuss your situation and get advice on how to proceed with your case.

Make Timely Complaints About Ageism
Imagine this: work colleagues regularly taunt you about your age. They call you names, laugh at how you walk and ignore your input. On the one hand, you don’t want to complain because you don’t want to play the victim or make things worse. On the other hand, you wake up every morning feeling anxious about going to work. You’ve noticed how exhausted you feel at the end of the day. And you know how deeply this harassment impacts you mentally, emotionally and physically. Does this behavior sound ridiculous in today’s workplace? Yes, it does. But sadly, it is real. Last month, a lawsuit against toymaker Mattel revealed some of the most noxious, blatant behavior, including a barrage of ageist taunts, mocking and harassment. The question is, what do you do about it? “When someone experiences harassment or discrimination on the basis of their age, speaking up is difficult in… Read more
A Small Business Owner’s Guide to Federal Employment Laws
You want to treat your employees fairly and provide a healthy work environment for all. But in the real world, things sometimes get messy. You have an employee who needs time off, but he's the only person who can do his job. Someone is upset about being passed over for a promotion. Another employee is allergic to a coworker's perfume. And someone is “dishing the company tea" on social media. Now what? In human resources (HR) training, every ethical challenge has a tidy answer. In practice, it's often quite difficult to find solutions that everyone agrees are fair and right. Federal employment laws are nice, tidy guide rails for your business. While they don't resolve every HR dilemma, they give you a framework for handling many of the complexities involved in employing people. This article covers nine types of federal labor laws you need to know and when they apply… Read more
A Guide on How to Avoid Wrongful Termination Claims
At-will employment doesn't necessarily mean you can fire employees at will. Know how to protect your business from wrongful termination complaints. Most employment relationships are at-will, meaning you can fire employees at any time for any legal reason or no reason at all. Often, employers hear "at-will" and "any reason" and skip over the "legal" part. In fact, there are many illegal reasons for firing an employee, and it's important to understand them before you let someone go. How easy is it for a snap decision to turn into a wrongful discharge complaint? Consider the well-known case of EEOC v. Walgreens, in which a diabetic employee with an 18-year record of excellent service ate a $1.39 bag of chips because she was hypoglycemic. She tried to pay for the chips when her sugar rebounded, but her supervisor, perhaps under the influence of a particularly strident presentation on shrink prevention, fired… Read more
A SMB Guide to Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) in 2022
EEO compliance is more than the law: it's good business. This article breaks down equal employment opportunity laws and how to make them work for your small business. The best reason to cultivate a diverse, inclusive workforce is that it helps your business succeed, as demonstrated by two recent studies by McKinsey & Company. An inclusive work environment broadens your talent pool, enhances the employee experience, improves customer service, and drives innovation. If you're like many business owners, you might think equal employment opportunity (EEO) is a given. Why wouldn't you bring the best and the brightest on board? Yet it takes more than a commitment to the idea of equal opportunity to promote an inclusive workplace. It takes careful planning, a solid framework, and active engagement. This article will help you translate good intentions into concrete actions to create an inclusive workplace. Overview: The history and evolution of equal… Read more
Employment discrimination laws and their complexities
Speaker Christopher Kleps, a professor at Ohio State University, discussed the ambiguity of employment discrimination law in front of students and faculty on Feb. 10. The event was the first of the Law and Society Speaker Series. “Employment discrimination law, as written, is inherently ambiguous,” Kleps said. According to Kleps, employment discrimination law “leaves a lot of room for judicial discretion” and it is often up to a judge’s perception of a case in whether or not discrimination took place. The premise of his talk started with legal constructionism, which is the legal approach he uses in his research. “The law itself is socially constructed and constructed by specific parties in specific contexts,” he said, explaining that law should be looked at in terms of … Read more
Signs That Age Equity Is Gaining Workplace Relevance (At Last)
While progress toward workplace age equity has been slow, this past year shows definite signs of improvement. As a result, there is an elevated awareness of workplace age bias and discrimination and the need for companies and organizations to address it. Earlier this year, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) made it very clear: job postings conveying preference — for example, “recent graduate,” young,” “energetic,” are examples of a recruiting practice that may involve systemic age discrimination. The update provided transparency by explaining the use of administrative and litigation tools used to identify and pursue systemic discriminatory practices.  … Read more
