Cases We Fund for Lawsuit Loans
Tribeca Lawsuit Loans is a pre-settlement funding company based out of New Jersey and California, and provides legal case funding, also known as lawsuit loans, to clients with a wide variety of cases and claims.
Our pre-settlement loans enable you to meet your immediate expenses by lending you a portion of your anticipated settlement. We can process your loan application and deposit the money as soon as within 24 hours in some cases!
Pre-settlement legal funding is a form of financing that carries no risk for the borrower. We can provide anywhere from $500 to $2 million in funding, tailored to each plaintiff’s unique needs by our amazing underwriters.
With legal case funding in hand, you can access your future settlement to alleviate current financial pressure and to fight for the full value of your case.

What is a Pre-Settlement Loan / Legal Case Funding?
Pre-settlement loans and legal case funding is the same thing- it is a service we built our business around that provides access to your future financial compensation now (before your settlement or trial verdict is reached) when you most need it.
Legal cases can take months or even years to make their way through the court system until they are finally resolved through a judgment or settlement. Unfortunately, even when the facts are clearly in your favor, the attorneys for the other side will try to delay the case as a way to pressure both you and your attorney to settle your suit for less money than the case is worth.
Your employment dispute or medical malpractice claim has likely exacerbated your current bills and expenses. In addition, your attorney has probably taken your case on a contingency basis, meaning they will see no money until the case is resolved. This leaves you both under financial pressure to take some money now rather than continue to fight for the full value of your claim.
You may need the services of an expert witness to prove your case, and they must be paid long before your settlement comes through. This is where legal case funding comes in.
Case cost funding or a pre-settlement loan allows you to access your future compensation package to pay your current expenses. As your legal funding company, we evaluate the facts of your case and estimate the size of the settlement you are likely to receive. We then lend you a portion of that amount (this is the “lawsuit loan” we provide), to be repaid after you receive your compensation from your settlement.
Is Pre-Settlement Funding a Real Loan?
Is legal case funding like wrongful termination lawsuit funding or medical malpractice lawsuit funding really a loan? Pre-settlement funding is a loan, but very different from other types of loans (such as traditional “lawsuit loans”) in three fundamental ways:
- Your credit history and personal finances are never considered when qualifying for the loan.
- Your finances and assets are not at risk. The expected loan repayment for us comes from your settlement and cannot exceed the amount of the loan.
- A lawsuit loan is a non-recourse loan, which means you are not held personally liable for the debt. If you lose your case, you do not have to repay your loan. We simply take the haircut.
Your future settlement is the collateral for the lawsuit loan. To reiterate, if you lose the case, you repay nothing. That is the essence of a “non-recourse” loan. It means the lender has no recourse to seek repayment of the loan from any source other than the specified collateral.
You can safely take legal case funding without risk to your personal finances or property. That is not the case with recourse debt — like hard money loans (physical collateral is usually required by the lender) or credit card debt or a mortgage refinance (where your credit score is ultimately the “collateral,” and to protect it you would have to repay the debt).
Also, unlike other forms of cash advance or loan, legal case funding is usually non-taxed. Since it comes out of your compensation package, it’s considered part of your legal compensation, which is not taxable income. So, the only time you may have to pay taxes on it is if you use the lawsuit loan to make an investment that makes a profit.
What Expenses Can Legal Case Funding Help You Pay?
A personal injury settlement loan or any other form of legal case funding is like a cash advance on your settlement package. You are free to use the money in any way you see fit. Most people use their lawsuit loan to cover their expenses while they wait for the case to be settled. Some of the common expenses that plaintiffs use their lawsuit loan for include:
- Medical costs
- Repairs or replacement of any damaged property
- Rent or mortgage payments
- Utility Bills
- Lost wages
- Daily expenses like food, gas, etc.
Legal case funding can cover your living expenses while your case proceeds. It can lessen the financial stress and address your damages while you wait for the case to conclude. This blunts the opposing attorney’s pressure tactics that are designed to force you to settle for less than you deserve.
How Much Does Pre-Settlement Funding / Legal Case Funding Cost?
Pre-settlement loans for auto accidents, malpractice, personal injury, wrongful termination, and more differ based on the fact pattern and complexity of the case. Until we review your case, we cannot determine how much legal case funding you might receive or how much it will cost. However, we can say that while predatory lending companies can charge high, compounding interest rates that eat up your settlement, Tribeca charges only a simple, non-compounding interest rate.
In fact, we charge no fees for your pre-settlement loan. All costs for our legal case funding are spelled out upfront. The entire contract should be easy to understand and written so you know exactly what you are agreeing to.
Our goal is to lighten your burden and alleviate the stress of your situation. Further, we aim to serve you so well that you are pleased to recommend our services. As a result, our team has a 4.5/5 star rating on Trustpilot — a testament to our commitment to client satisfaction.
How Much Money Can You Get With Legal Case Funding?
Your legal case funding comes directly from your eventual settlement or compensation package at the conclusion of your lawsuit. It’s a form of cash advance so that you can take care of present expenses while waiting for future compensation.
As such, the amount you can get for your legal case funding greatly depends on factors related to your case, such as:
- The overall strength of your claim
- Your total damages
- Your expected settlement amount
Tribeca Lawsuit Loans has provided clients with anywhere from $500 to $1,000,000 in legal case funding. We’ve got the resources to help you meet your needs now while you wait for the wheels of justice to finally finish turning in your case.
How to Qualify?
Qualifying for a personal injury settlement loan or any other form of legal case funding with Tribeca is easier than you might expect. There are just a few conditions your case must meet to obtain financing:
- You must be at least 18 years old.
- You must be ready to file a lawsuit or have a settlement pending.
- You must be represented by a contingency-based lawyer.
- The defending party must be insured.
If you meet the above criteria, you will likely qualify for legal case funding. We do not check your credit score or your property holdings because the only source for repaying the loan comes from your settlement. All that matters when it comes to getting funding is the quality of your case.

How Risky is Pre-Settlement Funding?
You’re not getting a typical loan or cash advance when you take out legal case pre-settlement funding. This type of funding is non-recourse, which means you ARE NOT held personally liable for the debt.
What does that mean? In simple terms, it means:
- The most we can take as repayment is the agreed-upon portion of your compensation package.
- Your personal finances are never used as a source for debt collection.
- If you lose your case, you owe us nothing!
There is no risk to your finances or property when you take out an accident settlement loan, a personal injury settlement loan, or another form of legal case funding.
How to Know if Legal Funding is Right for You?
Just because legal funding offers many benefits and carries no risk to your personal finances or property doesn’t mean it is the right course for you. Some signs that indicate a lawsuit loan or pre-settlement funding is a good choice for you include:
- You have immediate expenses you struggle to pay.
- You have suffered serious injuries or expenses due to the circumstances of your case.
- You are unable to work, or you have suffered a significant loss of current or future income.
- The insurance company is offering a lower settlement than you deserve.
Pre-settlement loans are not free. You’ll undoubtedly keep less of your settlement if you take out one or more such loans. Even with a low, simple interest rate like ours, legal case funding can become expensive if your case extends for years. If you can afford to meet your living expenses and are not facing financial hardship, you may be better off without a loan.
Additionally, if you have received a fair offer for your damages, continued negotiations may be counterproductive. And if you have not lost significant money or income, legal case funding may not be in your best interest.
Do I Need My Attorney’s Approval to Get This Funding?
Tribeca Lawsuit Loans requires that you be represented by an attorney or law firm before we can work with you. This is both for the safety of our investors and for your benefit, as studies show that clients with lawyers representing them typically earn far more in compensation than those who represent themselves.
We need your attorney’s approval in order to offer you a pre-settlement loan. Most contingency-based lawyers — the type of lawyers we can work with — welcome legal case funding. However, some attorneys do not want to involve a third party in the payment process. In this case, we will communicate with them to try to come to an agreement.
If your lawyer refuses to accept a pre-settlement loan, we will not be able to work with you. However, should you change attorneys to one who is open to legal case funding, we would then be happy to assist you. If you cannot find an attorney who will accept a pre-settlement loan, you may need to resort to other forms of funding, such as recourse debt, to cover your expenses.
