Wrongful Imprisonment
Claim Funding.
A civil claim connected to alleged wrongful imprisonment or wrongful incarceration can take significant time to investigate and resolve. FCA may review qualifying represented plaintiffs with pending claims for non-recourse, case-based legal funding.
FCA does not determine whether an imprisonment was wrongful, whether a conviction was invalid, whether a claimant is entitled to compensation or whether any government entity or individual is liable. Those legal issues are handled by the claimant's attorney and the applicable legal process.
Non-recourse legal funding. Approval, amount, cost, terms and availability depend on the individual claim and jurisdiction.

Quick Answer
Can you get funding for a wrongful imprisonment claim?
Potentially. FCA may review qualifying represented plaintiffs with a pending civil claim arising from alleged wrongful imprisonment, wrongful incarceration or a related compensable legal claim.
Eligibility depends on the specific legal claim, jurisdiction, case posture and potential recovery. An overturned conviction or release from custody does not by itself establish civil liability or guarantee funding.
