Lawsuit Loans: Does Your Case Qualify? Part I

Monday, October 19th, 2009

Why do we even refer to it as a lawsuit loan? It is clearly not a loan in any sense of the word! To be precise, we should refer to it as settlement funding, a form of funding provided in advance of your settling your claim. One may even go so far as to refer to it as venture-capital.

An important aspect of this form of funding is the fact that the applicant bears no risk in this transaction, a benefit of having a non-recourse loan.

An agreement is made between the applicant and the settlement loan lender. Once the agreement is made, if you don’t win your case, you are not required to repay the amount funded. This is an aspect of settlement funding that may be used to provide a no-risk resource of financial help during a pending proceeding.

Lawsuit loans may be provided for numerous types of cases. It is often instructive to understand not only the types of cases for which settlement funding may be obtained, but also some of the quirks involved with the specific type of case.

Lawsuits involving motor vehicle collisions: Personal injury suits frequently arise from these incidents. In addition to property damage to your vehicle, there are often hospital and other medical bills to pay. These cases are often protracted, running on for several years.

Cases involving injuries to children: Pre-settlement loans are often difficult to procure in these cases. As a result of many guardians attempting to settle these claims to satisfy their own interests, often at the expense of the injured child, the Court will occasionally appoint an attorney ad litem. The attorney ad litem is charged with representing the child’s interests, even when those interests are out-of-synch with the guardian’s.

Slip-and-Fall: This mechanism of injury is the most common type of personal injury. Due to their prevalence, many retailers are extremely aggressive, frequently unreasonably so, in fighting such claims. In many instances, it will be found that video-surveillance of the incident is available, and must be procured. Furthermore, it is very important clearly describe the surface on which the slip occurred, items that created obstacles in your path that produced your fall, etc. If witnesses observed the incident, elicit testimony from them if necessary to support the claim made. Details regarding the mechanism of injury should never be left to chance!

Can You Increase Your Odds of Getting Lawsuit Loans Accepted?

Friday, October 16th, 2009

Would you like to have the keys to getting lawsuit loans accepted? It is relatively simple, assuming you’ve found a broker who works with reliable lenders.

It is important to realize that in virtually all cases, the lender has no idea who the applicant is and must rely on the information provided. So, step into the lender’s shoes for a moment. What do you look for in determining whether you are making a sound-investment by loaning money to an individual?

A critical component, therefore, to obtaining settlement funding is the application! Partially-completed applications are frequently submitted to us, only to be followed shortly thereafter with an inquiry as to why the applicant has not received the lawsuit loan requested. High on my list of priorities certainly is not loaning money to an individual who is too lazy to complete a one-page application!

It is essential that you grab the lender’s attention with a strong case. Your chances of obtaining settlement funding are virtually zero if you fail to let the lender know what it is on which you base the claim for which a pre-settlement loan is requested.

Two actual cases for which applications were submitted in an effort to obtain a pre-settlement loan have been submitted to enable you to assess, from your perspective, which applicant is likely to succeed. Do you find either of the following incidents sufficiently compelling for you to offer a lawsuit loan?

Good Will Store Incident: I was at a Goodwill store, sorting through the clothes when a coat hanger jumped out and smacked me on the bridge of my nose.

Motorcycle Incident: Accident occurred in June of 2007. I was on a motorcycle. The car driver was traveling in the opposite direction and turned left in front of me. The car driver was cited for failure to yield.

Yes, the incident occurring in the Goodwill Store is humorous, but, to no one’s surprise, the applicant did not obtain the requested funding. The applicant presenting the case regarding the motorcycle incident did obtain funding. Did either outcome surprise you?
