If you are the plaintiff in a lawsuit or legal claim, you know it may take several months or years to settle your case. If your ability to work is hampered or your bills are unable to be paid, Plaintiff funding might be an important option for you.

The first step in Plaintiff Funding is for the plaintiff to contact a lawsuit funding company, often at the suggestion of their attorney. Based upon that information provided, the funding company estimates the value and likelihood of an eventual settlement, and offers a cash advance to the plaintiff based upon that estimate. The fee typically is a monthly charge that accrues each month the advance is outstanding. When the case settles, the advance and associated fees are paid to the funding company.

Funding advances generally are approved for about 10% of what your attorney may think your case will settle for. Therefore, most Funding Companies will offer pre-settlement advances in amounts between $500 and $25,000. Funding companies will generally charge a fixed cost between 2% - 8% monthly, depending on the information provided on the plaintiff's specific case. This whole process often takes between 2 and 15 business days to get your money from your initial contact.
