Funding education
State availability for pre-settlement funding
Review lawsuit funding state availability questions before applying. Funding availability can vary by state, case type, attorney verification, and underwriting.
Continue To CasePayNowPre-settlement funding availability can vary by state, case type, underwriting policy, attorney cooperation, and the specific facts of the claim. CaseFundingNow is an educational resource, so this page helps plaintiffs understand what to ask before submitting a funding review through CasePayNow.
Some funders do not review every state, every claim type, or every case posture. A pending case may also be affected by attorney verification, prior liens, existing advances, local rules, insurance coverage, and whether the claim has a clear recovery path.
Before applying, confirm whether your state and case type can be reviewed. If you already have an attorney and an active injury claim, CasePayNow can collect the request and route it for review where available.
