When facing financial distress while your lawsuit is ongoing, seeking legal funding can help you achieve the much-needed relief. However, before accepting any financial support during a lawsuit, it’s important to understand the true cost. Essentially, not all funding options are created equal, and some come with hidden fees or confusing repayment terms.
Furthermore, lawsuit loans are not totally free, but they are designed to be risk-free. At High Rise Financial, we believe in transparency. We want you to know exactly what you’re agreeing to, how fees are calculated, and what makes our funding different from traditional loans. This is because knowing what to expect helps you avoid surprises and choose a reliable legal funding provider that puts your needs first.
Is Lawsuit Funding the Same as a Traditional Loan?
Not at all. Lawsuit funding is very different from a bank loan or personal line of credit. When you borrow from a bank, you’re expected to make monthly payments, pay interest over time, and repay the full amount no matter what happens.
With High Rise Financial, it’s different. Our pre-settlement funding is non-recourse. That means you only repay if you win your case. If your lawsuit is unsuccessful, you owe us nothing. There are no monthly payments, no compound interest, and no personal risk.
Additionally, we don’t look at your credit score or income when you apply. We base our decision entirely on the strength of your legal case and expected settlement. Once you are approved, we will send you the lawsuit loan quickly, so that you can cover urgent expenses and achieve financial stability.
What Types of Costs Are Involved?
Here are some of the typical costs associated with lawsuit funding, and what you can expect when working with High Rise Financial.
Straight Fee for Taking Out Lawsuit Funding
At High Rise Financial, we don’t charge interest in the traditional sense. Instead, we apply a one-time, low-rate fee for the cost of taking out the lawsuit loan. This fee is agreed upon upfront and paid out of the lawsuit funds. You don’t make monthly payments, and you don’t pay anything out of pocket. This fee is simple, predictable, and built into your funding agreement. It’s designed to be fair and affordable, especially for injured plaintiffs who are out of work or facing financial hardship.
No Loan Origination Fee
Some companies charge a loan origination fee just to process your application. At High Rise Financial, we never do that. There’s no fee to apply, and no hidden charges for starting the funding process. We believe that injured plaintiffs shouldn’t be penalized for seeking help. That’s why we keep our process simple and free of unnecessary costs.
No Monthly Payments
Unlike traditional bank loans, you don’t have to make monthly payments with High Rise Financial. We understand that you may not have a steady income while your case is pending. That’s why repayment only happens at the end, when you receive your financial compensation. This gives you breathing room and peace of mind. You can use the funds to cover medical bills, rent, groceries, or anything else you need—without worrying about falling behind.
No Compound Interest
However, some funding companies charge compound interest, which means the amount you owe grows over time. At High Rise Financial, we don’t do that. Our fee is fixed and does not increase month after month. This protects you from surprise costs and ensures that your repayment amount stays predictable. You’ll know exactly what to expect when your case settles.
No Upfront or Out-of-Pocket Fees
Additionally, we never ask you to pay anything up front. You won’t be asked to write a check, submit a deposit, or cover any costs out of your own pocket. All fees are deducted from your settlement only if you win. This makes our funding truly risk-free. You get the financial support you need now. Also, repayment only happens from an agreed portion of your settlement payout.
How Are Rates Calculated?
Every case is different, and so is every pre-settlement funding agreement. Our low-rate fee is based on several factors, including:
- The type of case you’re pursuing.
- The expected settlement amount
- The complexity of your claim
- The timeline for resolution
Also, our dependable team will work closely with your attorney to understand your case and offer a fair, transparent funding amount. Our goal is to help you stay financially stable while your legal team fights for the compensation you deserve.
When Do You Repay the Pre-Settlement Funding?
As mentioned earlier, our lawsuit loans are non-recourse. Hence, repayment happens only if your case settles or wins in court. The funds are repaid directly from your settlement payout. There are no monthly payments and no out-of-pocket costs during the case. Your attorney will handle the repayment process. Once your settlement is finalized, the agreed portion is sent to High Rise Financial, and the rest goes to you. It’s simple, secure, and stress-free.
What Happens If You Lose Your Case?
If your case is unsuccessful, you don’t repay the funding. That’s what makes our lawsuit loans non-recourse and totally safe. We take on the risk so you don’t have to. This means you can apply with confidence, knowing that you won’t be stuck with debt if things don’t go your way. We believe in supporting injured plaintiffs and not adding to their burden.
How Can You Review the Terms Before Accepting?
At High Rise Financial, we provide a clear, easy-to-understand funding agreement before anything is finalized. You’ll have time to review the terms, ask questions, and speak with your attorney. We want you to feel comfortable and informed every step of the way.
What’s more, our team is here to explain the fee structure, repayment process, and any other details you’d like to discuss. We’re committed to transparency and fairness. Above all, we’ll never pressure you to accept funding you’re unsure about.
