Is Consumer Legal Funding A Loan?

Pre-settlement advances are NOT loans. After retaining an attorney and filing a claim, a victim can apply for consumer legal funding. If approved, they will receive a cash advance, that, unlike a loan:

  • Does not require repayment if the case does not result in a monetary award
  • Does not require collateral
  • Does not impact a consumer’s credit
How Does Consumer Legal Funding Help Victims?

Victims with legal claims often find themselves under significant financial pressure while they pursue a fair settlement. In some instances, they have been injured and are unable to work. Consumer legal funding gives them access to cash for personal, non-legal expenses during the sometimes-long pendency of their case. For example, advances can be used for:

  • Groceries
  • Routine Bills
  • Rent
  • Car payments
  • Student loans

With the resources to meet these immediate financial needs, victims don’t have to agree to low settlement offers.

Who is Eligible For Legal Funding And What Is The Process?

Victims of accidents with credible personal injury claims can apply for consumer legal funding to help make ends meet. A victim must have retained legal counsel and must have officially filed their case prior to applying for consumer legal funding. Additionally, consumers must go through a robust underwriting process to qualify for a pre-settlement cash advance.

Is Consumer Legal Funding Regulated?

ALFA is a strong advocate for fair, ethical, and transparent funding standards across the consumer legal funding industry. ALFA has supported legislation in six states—Oklahoma, Vermont, Indiana, Nevada, Utah and Tennessee— specifically regulating the consumer legal funding sector to protect consumers from deceptive and abusive practices. These states:

  • Set forth strict licensing requirements, including review of character and fitness of funders and posting of bond
  • Require funders to provide transparent and easy-to-read contracts in the consumer’s first language, explaining exactly what they owe
  • Prohibit the use of funding for legal costs and expenses
  • Prohibit funders from participating in cases
  • Mandate a five-day cancellation window
  • Requires annual, public reporting of all transactions, including interest rates
  • Establish consumer complaint portals to report misconduct

ALFA also requires all members to abide by the ALFA Code of Conduct, which supports best practices and requires funders to abide by the highest ethical standards in legal funding.
