To borrow money from your pending settlement, you will need to reach out to a representative at a reputable legal funding company. At the best lawsuit loan companies, you will work with a single, dedicated representative, so you won’t need to worry about being shuffled from department to department when you have questions. Your representative will communicate directly with your personal injury lawyer to gather information about your claim that will let them know whether or not you are a good fit for pre-settlement funding. In many cases, you may be able to get funding within 24 to 48 hours.
