If you decide to apply for a lawsuit loan, the first step is to submit an application with some basic information about your case. Once your application is approved, the funding company will send you an offer letter outlining the terms of the loan. If you accept the offer, you will sign a contract and receive the money in as little as 24 hours.
The amount of money you can borrow depends on many factors, including the strength of your case, the amount of insurance coverage available, and the expected value of your settlement or verdict. Most companies that offer lawsuit loans will advance you up to 10% of your expected recovery.
You do not have to repay the loan if you lose your case. However, if you win or settle your case, you will be required to repay the loan plus interest and fees out of your settlement proceeds. The average interest rate on a lawsuit loan is between 10% and 20%.
