Pending Lawsuit: Cash Advance
According to a 2016 New Yorker article, litigation funding—also known as a cash advance on a pending lawsuit—is a growing industry. The article reported that law firms have increasingly begun using litigation funding, with a fourfold increase in the industry since 2013, and that 28 percent of private practice lawyers use litigation funding. Specifically, litigation funding began in the late nineties, gradually moving into a three-billion-dollar industry by 2016. Keep in mind, this was three years ago, and the industry has continued to grow and flourish during those years.
If you are unsure of what a cash advance on a pending lawsuit involves, read on: many of your questions will be answered! If the case seems promising, the company buys a portion of the anticipated settlement or verdict amount.
If you are a plaintiff involved in pending litigation and you are wondering how you will continue paying your medical expenses and other bills, litigation funding could be for you. Litigation funding is different from a bank loan.
If for some reason, you lose your case, you are typically not responsible for paying back the cash advance. The only reason why you would be required to pay back an advance is you provided false information, committed fraud or breached the purchase agreement.
