Settlement Loans Increase in Down Economy

Lawsuit Funding asked:


Over the past several months LawLeaf has seen an increase in settlement loans for clients throughout the United States and Canada. While we believe this is due to our competitive services, we also understand that people need money now to help pay for living expenses due to job losses and decreases in wages. A settlement loan is a non recourse loan that is provided by a litigation company against a pending lawsuit. A non recourse loan is a type of loan that is only paid back if the attorney is successful in getting compensation from a case.

As people begin to lose jobs and wages are cut, financial ruin is eminent. For some people that have been involved in a personal injury and as a result lost a job or took a hit in their household savings or income, a settlement loan becomes an option. As the economy continues to spiral downward and banks stop loaning money a settlement loan again becomes an option.

At LawLeaf we understand that a down economy can sometimes force people into decision they would rather not want to make. A decision to take a job that pays less, a decision to stop paying medical expenses or credit card bills, a decision to stop payment on a car loan or mortgage payment and sometimes a decision to file for bankruptcy do the inability to pay off debt.

When someone has been injured do to the negligence of another and forced into making such decisions it can be devastating. A combination with the inability to work and the downturn in the economy is a formula for disaster. There is no question that settlement loans are becoming more of an option due to hard economic times. While banks are unwilling to provide personal loans to those folks with less than great credit lately these same banks are unwilling to loan money even to those folks with good credit.

At LawLeaf we aren’t interested in credit nor do we limit a person on the amount of money they can borrow. At LawLeaf we work with a network of lenders who compete for our clients business. They don’t look at credit rather they look at the strength of a case. If your case qualifies for a settlement loan you can borrow a percentage of the net value of your case and because we only work with those lenders who provide non recourse loans, if you lose your case you don’t repay the lender.

A settlement loan in a downward economy may not be the final resolution however it can certainly help you get through tough times while waiting for your case to settle.
