Post Settlement Funding Helps Plaintiffs and Attorneys
Post settlement loans, also known as post settlement funding, are financial transactions where money is advanced after a settlement is agreed upon but before money is received. Plaintiffs and attorneys alike utilize these transactions to provide immediate liquidity when needed.
The Need for Funding
Lawsuits take time. Plaintiffs and lawyers can expect many months or even years before a case/claim is ripe for trial or settlement. Discovery requests and answers, motion practice, trial calendar delays and a host of other delays face litigants and their counsel as they navigate the civil justice system.
Although the wheels of justice turn slowly – eventually recovery is made. From the time of settlement, until the Release of Claims is signed to the possession of the money can still take some time. Most states allow insurers at least 30 days to process settlement checks – some even longer. Other delays are caused by scheduling conflicts with attorneys and their support staff.
How Does Post Settlement Funding Help Plaintiffs?
The biggest benefit of post settlement funding is speed. Often, we are able to fund plaintiffs within 24 hours after application. Although same day settlement loans can and do occur, it is not a given. We discuss what causes lawsuit loan delays in earlier posts. They mostly concern problems compiling necessary documentation and/or scheduling delays. Underwriting post settlement funding is streamlined because in most instances, applications can be approved with a copy of the settlement release and a letter illustrating how the funds will be disbursed once received.
