You know that you have attorney-client privilege with your lawyer, but you may be worried if pre-settlement legal funding will affect that. The answer is a resounding NO.
At High Rise Financial, we are bound by client privilege as well. We will not share the details of your personal injury claim with parties involved in your case, the media, or anyone else. We abide by a strict code of ethics, and we always maintain strict client confidentiality.
If you’re considering applying for pre-settlement legal funding, you’re smart to be asking questions and doing your homework. Personal injury cases can cause mounting bills and mounting financial anxiety.
You’ve already done the hard work of starting your recovery and filing a personal injury claim with the help of your lawyer. Now it’s time to look for some financial solutions.
You May Have to Divulge that You Received Legal Funding
While the details of your case remain confidential, if you go to court rather than negotiate a settlement, the fact that you have applied for and received legal funding may need to be divulged to the court. Lawyers for the other side may use this information to try for judicial disqualification or to eliminate someone from the jury pool.
The laws concerning personal injury cases and the regulation of legal funding are both changing. This is because some state legislatures are moving to make litigation funding more transparent.
Examples include:
Wisconsin
In 2017, Wisconsin Act 235 became law. This law requires legal funding arrangements to be disclosed in civil cases like personal injury lawsuits. Simply put, if anyone has entered into a contingent fee agreement with you where they may be paid through settlement funds, the other side has a right to know.
Utah
In April of 2020, Utah lawmakers passed the Maintenance Funding Practices Act. This law is designed to protect plaintiffs like yourself. It requires legal funding companies like High Rise Financial to register with the state and be fully transparent in our pre-settlement legal funding agreements.
Some states, such as California, have yet to adopt statewide legal funding disclosure mandates, meaning you may not have to report legal Financing for auto accidents in Los Angeles to the court. However, you will want to check on any local laws or rulings that require you to do so.
Divulging that you applied for and received legal funding is nothing to be ashamed of. If you have exhausted your savings and need cash now, an advance on your settlement could be the perfect solution.

Your Pre-Settlement Legal Funding Agreement
Your financial agreement clearly spells out that this is not a lawsuit loan. In fact, it is not a loan at all. Learn more about car and bus accident lawsuit loans for free consultation. You will not need to make monthly payments, and we do not charge any interest on the amount of your pre-settlement legal funding. Your agreement will list our one-time flat-rate fee, and the amount you owe us when you win your case will never be impacted by high-interest rates.
And to protect you, if you lose your case, you do not have to pay us back.
We go to great lengths to make sure you and your lawyer understand all the terms of the agreement. As another way to protect your interests, we do not work with personal injury plaintiffs unless they are represented by legal counsel.
We make applying for legal funding free, fast, and easy. Just fill out the form on the Apply Now page to get started. Once we receive your application, we can generally let you know if you’ve been approved within an hour, and definitely the same day.
