Pros and Cons of Lawsuit Loans or Advances

Basically if you are a Plaintiff in a personal or class action lawsuit, you may be able to get a cash advance before your case even settles by getting a Lawsuit Loan. The amount of cash you may receive in a lawsuit loan may be less than the actual pursued amount and is not like a traditional loan which makes it much easier to qualify for.

You can find out for FREE to see if you qualify with no up front fees, and you may be able to receive money immediately based on the merits of your lawsuit.

• If you need money immediately, this may be the easiest and fastest way to obtain a cash advance
  
  
• NO proof of employment is required because a lawsuit loan or advance is based solely on the legitimacy of your lawsuit
  
  
• NO credit report will be run on any Plaintiff because again the lawsuit loan or advance will be based on the legitimacy of your lawsuit
  
  
• Once the case is actually settled, your lawsuit loan will be repaid from the proceeds in one lump sum
• You only pay back the cash advance if you WIN the case.If you should lose, you own NOTHING! and you get to keep the money from the lawsuit advance.
• Other than any agreement you have with your lawyer to pay any of the proceeds to them, you are free to spend the money however you see fit on what ever you may want or need
  

Remember this is not a traditional loan and most banks or financial institutions consider it too risky to do a settlement advance on the chance of winning a pending lawsuit. So here are some of the cons of getting a lawsuit loan:

• A lawsuit advance can be rather expensive
• You must have an attorney (but the attorney cannot make the cash advance)
• Your case type must be eligible(almost all frivolous lawsuits will not be accepted)
• Your attorney must cooperate with the Lawsuit Loans Funding Company

Just to reiterate, the fees associated with getting a lawsuit advance are not due up front but they can seem expensive. But if you have been in an accident, or can not work, this is really your best alternative.

There are a few different ways a Lawsuit Loans Funding Company   may charge for the loan. For example:

• They may charge a flat monthly percentage rate for any settlement advances between 2% and 5% depending on the type of lawsuit
• Or the funding company could charge a flat fee, again depending on the type of case or maybe even the amount being pursued in the lawsuit.

These can really get complicated with so many different scenarios but maybe this gives you an idea.

After you have retained a lawyer, just remember if you think your case qualifies to receive a Lawsuit Advance, DO NOT take the first offer you get from the first funding company you talk to. Always do research on the company itself to make sure it is licensed and has a good reputation. It would really be a good idea to talk to at least three different Lawsuit Loan Funding Companies before making your decision.
