What is a California Lawsuit Loan?
A lawsuit loan is a specialty finance transaction in which a plaintiff sells a portion of the future proceeds of a lawsuit to a settlement funding company, like Fair Rate Funding. In return, the plaintiff receives immediate cash, prior to settlement.
If the case is successful, the lawsuit loan is repaid by plaintiff’s attorney. If the case is lost, the lawsuit “loan” is not repaid. This is called non-recourse funding and means lawsuit loans are not really loans at all.
Plaintiffs do get the financial relief they seek when they need it.

What is the Purpose of California Settlement Loans?
Legal funding, like California accident loans, are designed to allow plaintiffs to financially withstand the long litigation process. Personal injury plaintiffs often found themselves unable to work. The resulting financial stress force many plaintiffs to accept the “low-ball” settlement offers insurance companies suggest. Because the plaintiffs are “up against the wall” financially, they sometimes accept unfair settlement amounts simply to ease their immediate financial burdens.
Settlement loans offer plaintiffs a financial lifeline to bridge the gap between the accident and settlement. During that time, plaintiff lawyers can fight for justice.
What are the Benefits of Non-recourse Loans?
Legal funding in California is considered non-recourse. With non-recourse loans, the funding company purchases a portion of the future settlement. That means the only possible repayment source is the lawsuit itself.
As the name suggests, the legal lender in California and throughout the United States has “no recourse” to go after any of your other assets or personal property. Its sole right to repayment lies in the success of the case. If the case is unsuccessful for any reason, the lawsuit advance(s) are not repaid.
For this reason, we do not consider any traditional loan factors in our evaluation. Any factors which would normally be used to approve a regular loan are not relevant because your ability to repay on a periodic basis is not required for California lawsuit loans. These might include:
- Credit score
- Current employment status
- Current assets
- Proof of income
What is the Charge for Lawsuit Loans in California?
Lawsuit funding rates can be confusing, but they need not be. The lawsuit loan market charges for its services in two different ways. First, they offer non-compounding rates. Second, they offer rates that compound monthly. Over time, the difference between compounding and non-compounding rates can be significant.
Fair Rate Funding rates are non-compounding 18% every six months until the case is settled, and settlement proceeds disbursed.

Can California Negligence Cases Receive Lawsuit Funding in California?
California follows a pure comparative negligence system. Under this system of assigning negligence, a judge or jury assigns a percentage of fault to each responsible party and then apportions the damage award accordingly. Under a pure comparative system the plaintiff can recover damages even if the accident was to a great extent his or her fault. The total damages would be reduced by the percentage of fault assigned to the plaintiff.
Are California Auto Accident Loans Available?
California is a tort state for auto accidents. In California a driver must be found to be responsible for causing the accident before that person’s insurance pays for damages including medical treatment.
Contrast this type of state with “no- fault” states such as New York or New Jersey, where there is no requirement to prove fault and the injured person’s medical treatment is paid by his own policy.*
