Do You Need Your Attorney’s Consent for Pre-Settlement Funding?

You can contact Triumph Legal Funding and begin discussing your options on your own. To complete funding, however, Triumph Legal Funding will need to work with your attorney to review relevant case information and finalize the agreement.

Triumph Legal Funding’s process generally includes:

  1. Reviewing your application and available information about your case.
  2. Providing the funding agreement for you and your attorney to review.
  3. Releasing funds after the agreement is completed by all required parties.

Working with your attorney helps Triumph Legal Funding confirm relevant details about the case, evaluate the available information, and coordinate how repayment would be addressed from a qualifying recovery.

Why Does a Funding Company Need to Work With Your Attorney?

Your attorney has information about your case that may be needed during the funding review. Their involvement also helps ensure the funding agreement can be reviewed and coordinated with the case.

To Review the Strength and Status of the Case

Your attorney may be able to provide relevant information about the status of the case, available documentation, and other details Triumph Legal Funding may consider during its review. That information can help determine whether funding may be available and, if so, the amount that may be offered.

To Protect Confidential Case Information

Some information relevant to a funding review may be confidential or subject to legal protections. By working with your attorney, Triumph Legal Funding can request and review the information needed for the application in a manner consistent with the funding process.

To Confirm How Repayment Would Be Handled

Triumph Legal Funding’s pre-settlement funding is non-recourse, meaning repayment is due only from a qualifying recovery in your case. Your attorney’s participation helps coordinate the agreement and address how repayment may be handled when the case resolves, subject to the terms of the agreement and any applicable obligations.

What if Your Attorney Has Questions About Funding?

Your attorney may want to review the funding agreement, ask about the process, or discuss whether funding makes sense in light of your case. A direct conversation about your financial needs and the proposed agreement can help you make an informed decision.

Questions to Ask Your Attorney Before Applying

If you are considering funding, you may want to discuss the following questions with your attorney:

  • Is there information about my case that Triumph Legal Funding will need to review?
  • Are there existing liens, funding agreements, or other obligations that may affect my available recovery?
  • Can you review the funding agreement with me before I decide whether to sign it?
  • Are there other options I should consider based on my circumstances?

What if You Already Have a Funding Advance?

If you have an existing funding agreement with another company, tell your attorney and Triumph Legal Funding early in the process. Existing advances, liens, or other obligations may affect whether additional funding is available and the amount that may be offered.

How Pre-Settlement Funding With Triumph Works

Pre-settlement funding with Triumph Legal Funding begins when you apply for funding. Triumph Legal Funding then reviews your application and, when needed, works with your attorney to obtain relevant case information. 

If funding is approved, you and your attorney can review the agreement before funds are released. Funding is non-recourse, so repayment is due only from a qualifying recovery, subject to the agreement’s terms.

What Types of Cases May Qualify for Funding?

Triumph Legal Funding considers funding for qualifying personal injury matters, including cases such as motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, and slip-and-fall claims. Eligibility depends on the facts of the case and the available information.
