Litigation financing, also known as lawsuit loans or pre-settlement funding, allows injured plaintiffs to access a cash advance against their future settlement. If you have a case with a high likelihood of success and a cooperative attorney, you may be able to get a lawsuit loan, but not in every state.
Each state in the U.S. establishes its own laws regarding lawsuit loans, so what is legal in one part of the country may not be permitted elsewhere. High Rise Financial walks you through the highlights of how each state’s laws apply to this beneficial financing alternative.
