What is legal funding?
Legal funding is a way to receive part of your expected lawsuit settlement before your case ends, so you can pay bills and stay financially stable while your claim is still pending. Direct Legal Funding provides legal funding based on your case strength and projected recovery—not your credit score, job status, or income—and repayment only happens if your case succeeds.
Who is legal funding for?
Legal funding is for people involved in personal injury claims or civil lawsuits who need money now but must wait months (or longer) for settlement funds. Direct Legal Funding supports plaintiffs who are dealing with accident-related expenses, lost wages, medical costs, or daily living pressure while their attorney fights for full compensation.
How is legal funding different from a loan?
Legal funding is different from a loan because approval is based on your legal claim rather than your financial profile, and repayment comes only from your future settlement. Direct Legal Funding offers non-recourse legal funding, meaning if you do not win or settle your case, you do not repay the advance.
Who qualifies for legal funding?
You qualify for legal funding if you:
- Are at least 18 years old
- Have an active personal injury or civil case
- Are represented by an attorney
- Have a claim with measurable damages and reasonable settlement value
Direct Legal Funding reviews liability, damages, and expected settlement ranges with your lawyer to confirm your case meets legal funding criteria, even if you are unemployed or have poor credit.
Why do I need a lawyer for legal funding?
You need a lawyer for legal funding because your attorney confirms the legal facts that determine approval, such as case status, liability strength, insurance coverage, and estimated settlement value. Direct Legal Funding must coordinate with your attorney to verify documents and set up repayment from the settlement once the case resolves.
How does legal funding work?
Legal funding works by evaluating your lawsuit, estimating likely settlement outcomes, and approving a safe portion you can access now. Direct Legal Funding follows this process:
- You apply online or by phone.
- Your attorney is contacted to provide case documentation.
- Your claim is reviewed for strength, damages, and timeline.
- You receive an offer with clear terms.
- Funds are sent quickly after acceptance.
How much legal funding can I get?
You can get legal funding from $1,000 – $1,000,000 that fits your case value, damages, insurance limits, and expected settlement timeline. Direct Legal Funding typically approves a portion of the projected settlement to help you now while preserving a healthy final recovery after attorney fees, liens, and case costs.
How fast is legal funding approval?
Legal funding approval is usually with 24 hours. fast because the decision depends on case documentation, not financial underwriting. Direct Legal Funding approves qualified claims within 3 hours once your attorney provides what is needed, and funding is commonly delivered within about 24 hours after approval.
What can legal funding be used for?
Legal funding can be used however you need, but most plaintiffs use it for essentials such as:
- Rent or mortgage
- Utilities and groceries
- Car payments and transportation
- Medical bills and prescriptions
- Childcare and school needs
- Credit card or loan minimums
Direct Legal Funding does not restrict or monitor spending because the money is an advance against your settlement value.
Will legal funding affect my lawsuit?
No, Legal funding will not affect your lawsuit because it does not change your legal rights, your attorney’s strategy, or settlement negotiations. Direct Legal Funding stays in the background and only works with your lawyer for verification and repayment logistics.
Does legal funding affect credit?
No, Legal funding does not affect credit. This is because providers do not use credit-based underwriting or report to credit bureaus. Direct Legal Funding does not require a credit check, so your score and financial history are not barriers to approval.
