What Types of Legal Funding Are Available?
There are two basic types of legal funding available: recourse and non-recourse.
Types of funding available:
- Recourse funding allows the lender to collect not only the underlying asset that was used for collateral on the loan but also any additional money to satisfy the amount owed.
- Non-recourse funding is that which a lender cannot collect beyond the collateral that was used to secure the loan.
While recourse funding tends to favor a lender, non-recourse funding favors the borrower. It lowers the risk for the borrower. Most pre-settlement legal funding is considered non-recourse in that a lender cannot pursue action against the borrower if the case is not successful.
What Types of Cases Is Pre-settlement Legal Funding Available For?
Pre-settlement legal funding can be used to help you avoid the financial hardship associated with litigation. Cases can take months or years to settle. Unfortunately, many people cannot afford to wait for a settlement or verdict.
Pre-settlement legal funding can be used for:
- Medical malpractice
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Maritime accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Construction accidents
- Slip and fall accidents
- Specialty surgery
To be eligible for pre-settlement legal funding, you must have an attorney. An attorney can help provide the information that an underwriter needs to determine whether you are able to receive legal funding and the amount of the cash advance.
What Is Attorney Funding?
It is not only injury victims that may be eligible for legal funding. Attorneys may also apply for legal funding to help them cover litigation costs. Attorney funding can help ensure that you can fully litigate a case on behalf of your client. It can provide the financial assistance you need to make sure that your client never settles for less than what their case is worth. As with all pre-settlement legal funding, attorney funding is non-recourse.
