Lawsuit Loans Provide Breathing Room!

By Dr. Tom Rhudy

Providing settlement funding requires consideration of many issues. In making a lawsuit loan, the risks involved determine the cost to the borrower. You may be eligible for such a loan if you suffer loss or injury and you are willing to agree to repay the loan if you win your case. Because most of these loans are non-recourse, you pay nothing if you lose your case.

Individuals who suffer injury or loss may feel overwhelmed by the litigation process. When this happens, it may be time to discuss the need for a lawsuit loan with your attorney. The lender and attorney stay in close contact with one another, discussing your case.

The cost of settlement funding is predicted from the communications between the lender and your attorney, and the offer for your lawsuit loan will be based on that assessment. In some cases, attorney's fees and in virtually all cases, court costs are often the defendant's, i.e., the one against whom you file your claim, responsibility, if you win your case. Furthermore, the defendant may also have to repay fees related to your settlement funding.

Arriving at settlement in the litigation process may require years. No matter how long the case is pending, all expenses related to your case must be paid, and remain the injured person's responsibility. Holding out for a fair settlement if you are injured an unable to work may prove impossible. This is the defendant's dream come true. Lawsuit loans are often the very lifeline required to hold out just a little longer.

Obtaining financial assistance may seem more and more necessary as time goes on and you wait for either a fair settlement offer or a trial date. Your success or failure may be determined by the reliability of the lender/broker with whom you work.

In most cases, settlement funding should only be considered, and is only appropriate, as a last resort. However, if other sources aren't available, they may prove ideal. Prior to taking the plunge, you would be wise to carefully consider the cost of obtaining a lawsuit loan. Review all available funding options when considering lawsuit loans. It is your diligent efforts that will produce the best deal.
