Quick Answer

What is catastrophic injury pre-settlement funding?

Catastrophic injury pre-settlement funding is a cash advance based on the potential proceeds of a pending legal claim. FCA reviews the case with the plaintiff's attorney and, if approved, can provide funding before the lawsuit is resolved. Qualification focuses primarily on the underlying claim rather than a traditional credit-based loan application.
