Factors to Consider When Evaluating the Best Pre-Settlement Loan Companies

1. How the pre-settlement loan company sets interest on advances.

The best pre-settlement loan companies evaluate clients on a case-by-case basis and set their interest rates on the strength of each case. A reputable lawsuit funding company will want to talk to both you and your lawyer to gather information about your legal claims and the likelihood that your case will result in a favorable settlement or verdict. If possible, do not work with a lawsuit funding company that charges the same interest rates to all of its customers. Only work with a pre-settlement funding company that varies its rates based on a principled approach to case evaluation.

2. The interest rate percentage charged on the pre-settlement advance.

You should have a clear understanding of the interest rate on a pre-settlement loan before you sign any paperwork. Once a pre-settlement loan company is done evaluating and underwriting your case, you need to ask what your monthly (or fixed) interest rate will be. If a company sets a rate above 3.5%, you are probably being charged too much on your pre-settlement advance. Look for a company with low interest rates that are simple to understand.

3. Whether the terms and conditions of the lawsuit loan is easy to understand.

The process of filing a lawsuit can be very overwhelming, and most reputable pre-settlement advance companies understand this. You should look for a company that offers clear and concise terms and conditions for its loans and is willing to answer any questions you may have about the pre-settlement funding process. As with any consumer financial product, you will need to sign paperwork before receiving any funds. Make sure that you can understand the documents before you sign them, and never work with a pre-settlement loan company that won’t answer your questions about their terms and conditions.

4. How the pre-settlement loan company works with your lawyer.

Before you can obtain a pre-settlement loan, you must be represented by a lawyer who has filed a lawsuit on your behalf in state or federal court. Any reputable pre-settlement loan company will ask to speak with your lawyer about your case. Your lawyer will need to cooperate with the pre-settlement funding company in order to complete the case evaluation and underwriting process. You should select a pre-settlement loan company that cooperates with your lawyer and with which your lawyer is comfortable working.

The pre-settlement funding company you choose will have an impact on the total amount of money you receive at the conclusion of your lawsuit. Because of this, it’s very important to do your research into potential lenders and think carefully about whether a company is the right fit for you and your case. Here are the most important criteria to consider when searching for a pre-settle-ment loan company.

5. How quickly the pre-settlement advance will be available to you.

The process of filing a lawsuit is stressful and many plaintiffs need financial relief while their case is pending. A trustworthy pre-settlement loan company will transfer the funds to you in as little as 24 hours once your case is approved and you sign the necessary paperwork. Before you select a pre-settlement loan company, make sure that you understand how long it will take to get the money so that you can plan accordingly.
