Claim: Pre-settlement funding gives a plaintiff access to money from a lawsuit before the court makes its decision.
Claimed By: Annuity
Fact Check: Although the statement on Annuity.org about pre-settlement funding giving a plaintiff access to money from a lawsuit before the court makes its decision is not untrue, it is misleading.
The author’s wording overlooks the critical fact that most of the time, there will not be any court decisions regarding claims for which a client got legal funding.
That’s because lawsuit funding companies typically advance money on personal injury claims, which primarily settle before reaching trial.
Meaning no court decision is ever made.
Another issue is that clients can receive money against their claims without ever needing to file a lawsuit, which means they are not considered plaintiffs.
So at the end of the day, the statement made by Annuity.org only addresses a small fraction of legal situations for which clients can access pre-settlement money to help them with the daily cost of living.
