Can I Get Legal Funding If I Have Bad Credit?

Yes, you can still qualify for pre-settlement lawsuit funding even if you have bad credit. Pre-settlement funding is not based on your credit history or credit score. Instead, approval is primarily based on the strength and potential value of your legal claim. Funding companies focus on the facts of your case rather than your financial background. This makes legal funding an accessible option for plaintiffs struggling financially due to injury-related expenses and lost wages.

We are here to answer your questions so you can make the best possible decisions regarding your financial future. With over $170 million funded, 10,000+ checks issued, and more than 3,000 cases financed, we provide best-in-class capital solutions for law firms, plaintiffs, litigation vendors, and other legal assets.

Why Legal Funding is an Accessible Option for Plaintiffs 

Lenders conduct credit checks to ensure the borrower will likely repay the loan. A low credit score may indicate a history of missed payments, high debt levels, or financial instability, all of which increase the risk of default. With pre-settlement funding, approval is based on the strength of your legal claim, such as a personal injury lawsuit, rather than your credit history or financial background. 

Pre-settlement funding is also non-recourse. That means if your case doesn’t end favorably and you do not receive a settlement or jury award, you are not obligated to repay it. If you recover compensation, the funding company will be repaid directly from the settlement or judgment. 

Plaintiffs also benefit from:  

  • No monthly payments: Unlike a traditional loan, you won’t have to worry about making monthly payments. 
  • Flexibility: Certain types of loans may require you to use the money for a specific purpose, but you can typically use your pre-settlement funding for anything you need, such as mortgage payments, rent, utility bills, and even Christmas presents. 
  • A fast application and approval process: You can apply online. We consult your attorney and review your application. If approved, we send you funds via wire transfer in as little as 24 hours. 

Our team members are happy to help you further understand how pre-settlement funding works so you can decide if this is the right option for you.
