Legal Funding vs. Lawsuit Loan

Fund Capital America is California’s leading personal injury plaintiff lawsuit funding specialist. Our years of experience with the personal injury legal process led us to develop a Financial Relief Program that assists both the plaintiff and the law firm in obtaining funds to cover the plaintiff’s everyday expenses until their case settles.

Wronged parties are often pressured into settling lawsuits sooner at much lower settlement sums than what they actually deserve. With our Los Angeles lawsuit funding and personal injury cash advance, we keep this from happening to our clients by taking the pressure off the claims process so our clients have a much better chance at obtaining fair compensation.
This is not a loan! You don’t pay back monthly, only when and IF the case settles.

FAQS

No fees are charged to apply for legal funding. Just submit your application along with all relevant information and our underwriter will review your case. Fund Capital America has made the process as simple as possible. There are no hidden fees, no upfront payment, and no out-of-pocket payment.

No. A pre-settlement cash advance is not credit based. You don’t need credit, so no credit check is required, nor does poor credit affect your eligibility for lawsuit funding in California. Acceptance and the funding amount are determined by the facts of the case, not your finances, so you need not submit any personal financial information to us. A lawsuit loan, on the other hand, often requires an extensive credit check and examination of your financial circumstances, both past and present.

Pre-Settlement Funding Vs. Lawsuit Loans

If for some reason you don’t win, you don’t repay the funds. You don’t have to worry about paying monthly installments and have the full access to money you receive upon approval. There is no risk involved. Repayment is based only on the length of recovery and the time of your case to settlement.

You may receive a second round or possibly monthly installments, and/or advances as your case progresses through the life of the claim as a a settlement funding depending on your situation. Just apply again and we’ll get back to see if you qualify. Recent personal injury clients have received funding twice, including an individual who was left unable to work after an automobile accident and later required surgery, which resulted in further time off and a need for financial support. Prior funding does not impact your eligibility to apply a second time.

The money may be used to pay the rent or bills that have been piling up. An accident may leave you unable to work, which can make it difficult to pay for basic essentials, let alone bills.

Hospitalization, medical treatments, and a variety of obligations after an accident and while pursuing legal action can take up valuable time, and the bills may keep piling up. You may need to pay to fix your car, make car payments, or need funds to travel to treatments or manage family obligations.
