Union County Lawsuits

Many of Union County’s smallest towns are densely populated with numbers which compare to many big cities in the nation. The large mass of people results in many different examples of human expression. There is no shortage of art, music, and culinary expressions throughout Union County.

Unfortunately, large amount of people in a small area has its downside. In northern New Jersey, residents can expect more dangerous conditions on roadways and thus more accidents. In fact, according to the NJ Department of Transportation, Union County had over 13,000 crashes in 2020 and over 21,000 before Covid-19 in 2019. Of those crashes, over 3,000 reported injuries in 2020.

Car accidents prompt auto accident lawsuits where injured parties file claims for compensation. The wheels of justice turn slowly since the large amount of cases in urban areas stress the finite resources available to adjudicate claims in the civil court system. Unfortunately, many plaintiffs must wait many months or even years before they resolve their claims. Many are injured and no longer able to work leaving them in financial straights.

Insurance companies representing defendants are aware of the situation and sometimes use this financial leverage to force plaintiffs to accept low-ball settlement offers so that they can make ends meet.

Union County lawsuit loans level the financial playing field and are one possible solution to this dilemma.

What is a Union County Lawsuit Loan?

Lawsuit loans are financial transactions where plaintiffs sell a portion of their settlement before the case is resolved. Lawsuit funding companies advance money so that plaintiffs can meet expenses while their attorneys seek justice. Many plaintiffs turn to lawsuit loans to pay for:

• groceries
• utilities and other bills
• past debts
• medical treatment
• school tuition
• transportation
• and others…

The purpose of settlement loans is to avoid having to accept an unfair settlement simply because of a plaintiff’s immediate financial needs.

Lawsuit loans are not “loans” in the traditional sense since repayment depends upon a successful outcome. If the plaintiff loses the case, the lawsuit loan is not repaid. For this reason, lawsuit loans are referred to as non-recourse settlement advances.
