There is no other financial product in the market that will allow a person to borrow against the chances their lawsuit will settle; that was until pre settlement funding entered into the law markets. Pre settlement funding is provided by hedge funds and/or investors that gamble on a set of cases, in hopes of a positive gain. While their investment is secured through an underwriting process, there are some cases which the investor will lose.
You may have heard of the word contingency fee basis, considering you are probably going through a lawsuit. This is also true for plaintiffs that borrow against their lawsuit. If no recovery, no payment.
The nature of pre settlement funding is dynamic. There is no other financial tool like it. You can have bad credit or no credit, be without a job, be in debt and own no assets and still get $10's of thousands of dollars through a legal advance. Try this with a bank. This is because pre settlement funding is provided using the future proceeds from the case as collateral. In return the plaintiff will agree to a contract with the lender to pay back, if and when the win, the principle plus interest.
