Lawsuit funding may be available to you if you have been seriously injured in an accident and are represented by an attorney. Only very serious injuries generally qualify for lawsuit funding. Some examples of injuries eligible for lawsuit funding are:

- Amputation
- Death
- Fractures
- Herniated Disks
- Loss of Vision
- Paralysis
- RSD
- Significant Scarring
- Surgery
- Any other very serious injuries

Usually, injuries classified as "soft tissue" are not eligible for lawsuit funding. Also, injuries arising from asbestos exposure and also many pharmaceutical injuries are usually not eligible. Soft tissue or wiplash injuries usually have very low recovery values, and simply just do not have the room to allow for a pre settlement advance to be made. Asbestos and many pharmaceutical cases are usually part of class action lawsuits, which funding companies tend to stear away from since they can take 4 or 5 years.

The typical case a lawsuit funding company will invest in will have injuries that could result in a very high recovery, and a time to recovery that is very short, or under 2 years.

If you have suffered a very serious injury due to someone else's neglect, and are represented by an attorney, contact us via the form at the top right of this screen so that our editor or a lawsuit funding expert can help you to obtain a pre settlement advance.
