Questions plaintiffs ask before applying
These answers are educational and help applicants prepare before continuing to CasePayNow.
Is pre-settlement funding the same as a traditional loan?
No. Pre-settlement funding is usually reviewed against the pending case, not only credit or income. Approved non-recourse funding is generally repaid from case proceeds if the case recovers.
Do I need an attorney before applying?
Most funding reviews require an attorney because the attorney usually verifies case status, liability, insurance, liens, and expected settlement path.
Will there be monthly payments?
Many pre-settlement funding arrangements do not require monthly payments while the case is pending. Applicants should still review the agreement and payoff language carefully.
What can slow down a funding review?
Missing attorney contact information, unclear liability, incomplete treatment details, prior funding, liens, or a delayed law firm response can slow the process.
