LAWSUIT
LOAN
Global
Financial provides cash advances, also referred to as
Lawsuit Loans & Settlement Advances, to victims of
personal injury & worker compensation accidents . Lawsuit Loans
and Settlement Advances can provide Plaintiffs with a portion of
their settlement prior to the settlement in their case. Most often,
a Lawsuit Loan is beneficial to a Plaintiff who has been injured
in a personal injury accident caused by another or in a worker compensation
accident and they have been forced to stop working until their injuries
heal.
A Settlement Advance is most often not actually a loan but rather
an investment. A loan is payable unconditionally while a cash advance
is only repayable upon a contingent event (the settlement of the
case). If the claim is lost then the cash advance is not repayable.
Lawsuit Loans have also been referred to as Lawsuit Insurance which
was branded by Global Financial. By taking a cash advance against
their claim, a person can guarantee 100% that they will receive
a financial recovery in their claim and so it is referred to as
Insurance against the possibility that the case is lost.
A Lawsuit Loan or Settlement Advance is a risky investment and
there is no guarantee of repayment. The investment company provides
the Lawsuit Loan or Settlement Advance to the customer and receives
an assignment of the potential future proceeds from the legal claim
as collateral for repayment. Since the pending legal claim is risky
and the recovery, if any at all, is uncertain, the investor is taking
a high risk of being repaid. If the case is lost then the customer
keeps the Lawsuit Loan and the investor has no recourse to go after
the customer for repayment. It may now be clear to you why there
are no banks that have entered this business. The risk is high and
hard to evaluate.
Many different lawsuit loan or settlement advance companies have
come into financial trouble because of their lack of ability to
evaluate each and every legal claim with good accuracy, which has
led to numerous case losses. Remember, if a legal claim is lost
in court then the lawsuit loan company receives nothing in return.
The Lawsuit Loan is actually an investment by nature and therefore
there is no recourse to collect from the Plaintiff when a case is
actually lost.
Lawsuit Loans and Settlement Advances have also been referred
to as Lawsuit Insurance™ (Global Financial Credit, LLC) because
it offers the Plaintiff a form of coverage that is similar to insurance.
It assures the Plaintiff that he/she will receive some monetary
award from the legal claim regardless of the outcome of the case
itself. If the case is won then the Plaintiff is responsible to
pay back the settlement advance, however, if the case is lost then
the Plaintiff will keep the money that was advanced to him/her without
any obligation to repay the money back to the pre settlement funding
company. The pre settlement funding company will have to accept
that case as a lost investment rather than a bad loan which could
be collected upon. This fact clearly shows that the Lawsuit Loan
is not a loan and actually an investment. The term lawsuit loan
is used because consumers are not well versed in the legal aspects
of settlement advances and therefore use the term because it rymes
and seems to describe what they want. Lawsuit Insurance of Lawsuit
Cash Advance are terms that would be more appropriate but are ot
being used for now.
In
addition to Lawsuit Insurance™, many consumers us
the term Lawsuit Advance. The term advance is clearly different
from a loan so this describes the product much better than the term
loan. A Lawsuit Advance is probably the most appropriate term to
be used within the pre settlement funding industry. Pre Settlement
Funding Company executives understand that they must eventually
educate the consumer to the fact that a lawsuit advance is not a
loan but rather a venture capital type investment on the part of
the funding company into the pending legal claim. The pre settlement
funding company is actually buying a portion of the potential future
proceeds from the legal claim.
Lawsuit Insurance™ is a term that makes the most sense to
the executives at Global Financial because it really describes the
benefits and reality of the financial product being offered. A Lawsuit
Loan, although it is used so commonly, is not a fair description
of the product being offered but is continued to be used because
so many consumers have not been educated. It seems to me as the
pre settlement funding industry grows so will the terms that are
being used to describe its products. No longer will the standard
term be lawsuit loan, settlement loan or pre settlement loans but
rather it will be Lawsuit Insurance, lawsuit advance and settlement
advance.
Settlement Advances can be used by a plaintiff that is awaiting
his or her settlement to pay for a myriad of things, including but
not limited to living expenses, bills, medical expenses & even
to afford him the ability to outweigh a deep pocketed defendant
that throws out a low ball offer. In almost every personal injury
claim that is made, the insurance carrier for the defendant has
the ability to financial out last the plaintiff which is why a settlement
advance can be so beneficial to bringing out the full value of a
persons legal claim. With access to some of the settlement dollars
today, a plaintiff can use those funds to keep their spirits high,
remain strong and wait until a full and fair settlement offer is
proposed. Settlement offers are often times extremely low and if
the client is desperate enough at the time of the offer, he/she
may actually take it. A Lawsuit Loan or Settlement Advance can help
the plaintiff avoid taking the original settlement offer and waiting
for the full value in the case. The additional amount they receive
by not accepting the first settlement offer will often far outweigh
any fees charged by the pre settlement funding company and ultimately
net the client far more money into his or her pocket. When critics
say that pre settlement funding companies charge high fees and do
not bring any value to the case at hand they have not done enough
research on the subject to understand why the settlement advance
can help a case financially in the long run.
Many personal injury lawyers do not initially see the value in
their client receiving a cash advance against their pending legal
claim but as they see more about how the process works, then they
begin to understand why a settlement loan can be so advantageous
to their clients. As long as, too much money is not advanced on
any one claim, then a lawsuit loan is often the obvious choice.
It can increase the total value of the case which will put more
settlement dollars into the pockets of the client and the lawyer.
It can also help pay for surgery and necessary medical treatment
that the client could not have previously received. A pre settlement
funding company that understand that moderate lawsuit advances can
be a good thing for the overall value of the legal claim and understand
that too much money advanced can actually compromise settlement
can be a very important asset to a personal injury attorney that
wants to build a personal injury practice that gives the most to
his/her clients.
Some of the most successful personal injury practices have decided
to use a pre settlement funding company to assist their clients
in need. Just as they have worked with doctors & physical therapists
in the past, they understand that ethical companies in the pre settlement
funding arena are a tremendous asset to their practice and to their
clients. The important thing for a personal injury attorney is to
protect his/her client against a pre settlement funding company
that charges high fees or even worse does not explain their fees
upfront.
