Loans It’s an everyday occurrence, a person or person(s) are injured due to a slip and fall accident. A slip and fall accident can cause greatly bodily harm to a person, this is especially true with older individuals. Sometimes, these slip and fall accidents occur on other peoples or businesses property, and are the result of negligence of that person or business.
It’s all too common to find that person who didn’t salt their stairs after the last snow fall, or that business with wet floors and no caution signs. These types of accidents are due to the negligence of the owner of the property and compensation is required by civil law. However, compensation is usually required to be obtained in a civil lawsuit and can take months if not years to settle. During this period the plaintiff might not be able to work due to injuries from their accident. How does someone in this situation get money to keep their financial life straight? The answer is a lawsuit pre-settlement loan!
A lawsuit pre settlement loan is an option for “every single plaintiff” in a pending lawsuit; and this includes slip and fall injuries. Settlement loans are very simple to understand, it’s when a lawsuit loan provider or investor will loan you a specific amount of money with your pending lawsuit as merit. They receive back their loaned amount, plus interest when your case is settled. However, they “only” are required to pay back the amount of the settlement loan if your case reaches a favorable verdict. If you don’t win your lawsuit, you do not pay back one dollar to the settlement loan provider. Read more...

It’s a horrible thought, it’s been 18 months since your accident and your lawsuit has finally reached a favorable verdict and you were awarded monetary compensation. Then, you get notification from your attorney that the defendant in your lawsuit is appealing the verdict. This means you’re going to have to wait even longer before you can receive compensation; while hoping the verdict remains the same in the higher court the case is being appealed in. What can a plaintiff in this type of situation do? The plaintiff has the option of applying for a lawsuit post settlement loan.
A post settlement loan is really the same concept as a pre lawsuit settlement loan, instead it’s applied for after a verdict has been reached in favor of the plaintiff, but the defendant has appealed the case in a higher court. Appealing a lawsuit verdict is common practice in civil law. It also prevents the plaintiff from getting his compensation and allows the defendant to try and over turn the verdict in a higher court; thus leaving the plaintiff with nothing. By the end of a lawsuit the plaintiff will most likely have lots of bills to pay (including medical, legal, car\auto, etc). This is why a lawsuit post settlement loan can be an excellent choice in a situation where the defendant has appealed the verdict.
A lawsuit post settlement loan is the same concept as a standard lawsuit loan; the only difference is you apply for a post settlement loan “after” a verdict has been reached and the defendant is appealing the verdict; unlike a traditional pre settlement loan where you’re getting the money “before” a verdict has been reached. Post settlement loans are non-recourse debts; this is due to the fact that if the defendant’s appeal gets the verdict overturned you are “not” required to pay back the money given to you via the post settlement loan.
