Pre-Settlement Funding.
If you were injured in a maritime or offshore accident and have a pending claim with an attorney, you may be able to access a portion of your anticipated recovery before the case is resolved.

Funding availability, approval, amount, cost and terms depend on the individual claim.

Quick Answer
What is maritime and offshore accident pre-settlement funding?
Maritime and offshore accident pre-settlement funding is a cash advance based on the potential proceeds of a pending legal claim. FCA reviews the claim with the plaintiff's attorney and, if approved, can provide funding before the matter is resolved. Qualification focuses primarily on the underlying claim rather than a traditional credit-based loan application.
