Pre-Settlement Funding in Nebraska

Struggling after a personal injury? Mustang Funding offers pre-settlement funding in Nebraska to bridge the financial gap during your lawsuit.

If you have a pending personal injury lawsuit in Nebraska, you are likely facing financial instability while awaiting the resolution of your case. Your injuries may prevent you from working. Medical bills, credit cards, and mortgage payments are overwhelming. Pre-settlement funding could be the solution.

Is Pre-Settlement Funding Considered a Loan?

No, pre-settlement funding is not a loan. While we occasionally use the term “lawsuit loan”—since it’s a common search phrase—what we offer is technically different.

Pre-settlement funding is a non-recourse cash advance provided in exchange for a portion of your potential future settlement. Unlike a traditional loan, you are not required to repay the advance if you lose your case. In essence, we assume the risk. You receive funds upfront, and if your case is successful, we collect an agreed-upon share of your settlement.

Unlike traditional loans, pre-settlement funding does not impact your credit score. It is accessible to plaintiffs regardless of their credit history or financial standing. Instead, it is based on the merits of the case.

To qualify for a lawsuit funding, a plaintiff must have a current personal injury lawsuit with an attorney representing them. The lawyer must agree to discuss case specifics with us. If approved, you will receive the funds typically within 24 hours. In addition, it is a non-recourse loan, meaning you only repay if you win your case. There are also no restrictions on how you can use the funds. While most people utilize it to pay bills, you can also spend it on a car, tuition, or other items.

Pre-settlement funding helps you financially and also strengthens your case. It can relieve the pressure to accept a lower settlement offer from insurance companies. By providing you with the means to cover your basic expenses, you are better positioned to hold out for the amount you need to recover your losses and damages.

What Can You Use Lawsuit Loans For? 

Lawsuit loans or pre-settlement funding offers Nebraska residents a way to stay financially secure, providing cash advances that can be used for essential needs until your case is resolved, including the following: 

  • Medical costs not fully covered by insurance — deductibles, co-pays, out-of-network charges, prescription medications, imaging, surgical deposits, pain management, mental-health counseling, rehabilitation/physical or occupational therapy, home health aides, and medical equipment (braces, crutches, wheelchairs). 
  • Travel for treatment — travel to regional hospitals or specialists (e.g., Omaha/Lincoln), parking, tolls, lodging, and meals for out-of-town appointments or Independent Medical Examinations (IMEs). 
  • Home accessibility and safety — ramps, grab bars, widened doorways, stair lifts, bathroom modifications, and temporary in-home caregiving. 
  • Housing expenses — rent or mortgage payments, HOA dues, and property taxes. 
  • Utilities and essential services — electricity, natural gas/propane, water, trash, heating fuel, internet, and mobile phone to keep services from lapsing. 
  • Transportation and vehicle needs — car repairs, replacement of a totaled vehicle, lease or loan payments, insurance premiums, registration, tires (including winter tires), and rideshare/public transit. 
  • Everyday living expenses — groceries, household supplies, clothing, and personal care items. 
  • Childcare and dependent care — daycare, after-school programs, babysitting during medical visits, and eldercare for aging parents. 
  • Education costs — children’s tuition, school fees, textbooks, uniforms, devices, and extracurricular dues. 
  • Lost wages — A serious injury can suddenly interrupt the steady flow of income your family relies on. For some, this means going from a two-income household to a single income overnight, creating immediate financial strain and long-term uncertainty. 
  • Debt management — minimum credit-card payments, personal loans, medical bill payment plans, and preventing accounts from going to collections. 
  • Insurance premiums — health, auto, renters, or homeowners insurance to avoid coverage gaps. 
  • Emergency and seasonal costs — storm cleanup, roof/hail-damage deductibles, burst-pipe repairs, snow removal, and urgent HVAC or appliance fixes (common with Nebraska’s weather swings). 
  • Communication and tech — replacing a damaged phone or laptop for school, telehealth, or attorney communications. 
  • Case-related out-of-pocket expenses — medical record fees, postage, parking, or travel to court or doctor visits. 

Nebraska Pre-Settlement Funding Laws

In Nebraska, specific laws regulate the activities of third-party litigation funders, which are outlined in Chapter 25 of the Nebraska Revised Statutes, including:

  1. Nebraska Revised Statute 25-3304: Prohibits offering commissions or referral fees to attorneys, law firm employees, or medical providers for referring plaintiffs and bars acceptance of compensation from legal or medical professionals.
  2. Nebraska Revised Statute 25-3305: Limits fees charged by civil litigation funding companies to three years from the initial agreement date, among other provisions.
  3. Nebraska Revised Statute 25-3306: No communication between the attorney and the civil litigation funding company shall limit, waive, or rescind the scope or nature of any statutory or common-law privilege, including the work-product doctrine and the attorney-client privilege.

Personal Injury and Other Pre-Settlement Funding in Nebraska

In Nebraska, the statute of limitations for initiating a personal injury lawsuit is generally four years from the accident date. Failing to file within this period may lead to the court dismissing your case.

Nebraska is a modified comparative negligence jurisdiction.  According to this legal doctrine, the compensation awarded to the plaintiff is reduced in proportion to their degree of fault. For instance, suppose you are involved in a car accident, and it is determined that you were 20% responsible. If your total damages award is $100,000, your compensation would be reduced by 20%, leaving you with $80,000.

If the plaintiff is found to be 50% or more responsible for the accident, they are barred from recovering any compensation.
