How Litigation Financing Works For You

Litigation financing is a very flexible form of financing–one that can easily help plaintiffs in personal injury, wrongful death settlement and related lawsuits get control of their finances. If you have been injured or suffered a loss, and you are awaiting a settlement of your claim, you could be facing temporary financial problems, especially if your injuries resulted in lost income from your inability to work. At the same time, in addition to regular bills, you may need to pay for additional medical care or treatment costs related to your injury and recuperation from that injury. Few creditors are willing to give injury victims and lawsuit plaintiffs additional time to pay their bills, and it often takes months, or even a year or longer, for a lawsuit to be resolved. Legal financing can be the solution that helps you pay your living expenses while you wait for your accident settlement.

With LawMax legal financing, you receive a check or a wire transfer to your bank account. Your advance is completely liquid and delivered to you in full, so that you can use it immediately as you see fit. There is no waiting for additional payments and no delaying your bills until you get more money. With easy access to money, you can catch up very quickly on any past-due obligations. It is important to apply for legal financing quickly, as soon as you realize that there is a need. If you have already fallen behind on payments, legal financing can help you immediately take control of your finances!

To quality for litigation financing, there is no employment requirement and no credit check. Your lawsuit claim is sufficient collateral for legal financing, and the only lien incurred by the financing is a lien against the proceeds of your pending lawsuit.

There are no up-front or hidden costs for legal financing: No application or processing fees, and no other charges except a risk premium that is periodically added to the balance. And there are no monthly payments. Your legal financing obligation is paid off in full by your attorney in a single payment from the proceeds of your lawsuit.

While you are free to spend the funds from litigation financing anyway you chose, the purpose of legal finance is to provide cash to pay crucial bills and cover living expenses. You should not think of the money as a windfall and spend it irresponsibly. Legal financing cash should be spent judiciously since your financial survival may depend on it. The money received from a lawsuit advance should be used only to keep your bills current and to cover necessary expenses. The more carefully you spend the money you receive from litigation financing, the more of your eventual settlement you will have to spend and invest.
