Settlement Funding
'Settlement funding' is a broad term that can describe cash made available at more than one stage of a legal claim — while it's still pending, once a settlement amount has been reached, or after a case has fully resolved. Because those situations are reviewed differently, this page is designed to help you quickly identify which specific option matches where your case actually stands.
If you already know your case is still being litigated with no settlement yet, go directly to pre-settlement funding. If your case has already resolved, go to post-settlement funding.
Is Your Case Still Pending?
If there's no settlement or verdict yet — your case is filed, being negotiated, or in litigation — you're looking for pre-settlement funding, which is reviewed based on the estimated strength and value of your active claim.
Has a Settlement Amount Already Been Reached?
If you and the other side have agreed to a settlement amount, or a verdict has been entered, but you haven't received the funds yet, post-settlement funding is generally the right fit — it's reviewed based on the confirmed outcome and expected disbursement timeline rather than an estimate of case value.
Want Funding Framed Around Speed or Immediate Cash Needs?
If your priority is how quickly you can get an answer rather than which legal stage you're in, our lawsuit cash advance and settlement advance pages are written specifically around that faster, more transactional path — using the same underlying non-recourse structure.
Why We Split Funding This Way
Case review genuinely differs by stage: a pending case is evaluated on estimated liability and damages, while a resolved case is evaluated on confirmed terms and disbursement timing. Directing you to the right page up front means faster, more accurate answers about your specific situation.
