Is a purchased interest in a law suit a loan?
No. We purchase a portion of the proceeds of your case. You owe Nothing
unless you win your case.
What can I use the money for?
The money you receive from us can help avoid foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy,
pay for medical bills, or for any purpose. You can use the money any way you need.
Plaintiff Investment Funding does not control your case, or what you do with the
funds.
What if I lose my case?
If you lose your case, you owe Nothing to Plaintiff Investment
Funding. The cash we provide to you is yours to keep.
Are there any up-front fees or monthly payments?
No. There are no up-front charges or monthly payments. Plaintiff Investment Funding
only gets paid at the end of your case if you recover money.
What is the process?
When Plaintiff Investment Funding purchases an interest, we buy part of your case.
Cases are evaluated on several criteria, including liability, damages, insurance
coverage, and stage of development. We will contact your attorney requesting information
about how the accident happened, the defendant's insurance, some medical records
showing the nature and severity of your injuries. After we receive this, we will
call your attorney to review your case and ask any remaining questions. Then we
will notify you to let you know if your request for an advance has been approved.
How long does the process take?
After submitting your application, we contact your lawyer and request information
that aids us in determining how much interest to purchase. Our underwriting department
reviews your case in one to two business days. After that, you can have your money
overnight, wire transferred the same day, or even picked up at our office. The quicker
you authorize your lawyer to release documents, the quicker you will have your money.
Can we purchase interest more then once?
Yes. It is common for us to purchase interest, more then once in higher value cases.
What if I have bad credit, am unemployed, or filed bankruptcy?
Because this is not a loan we are not looking at your credit history, a past bankruptcy,
or whether you have a job. Our decision to make an advance is based on our valuation
of your personal injury case.
Do you get involved with my case?
No. Plaintiff Investment Funding has no right to participate in or have any input
in your case. Only you and your attorney will have any say regarding these matters.
