An injury can quickly disrupt both your health and your finances, especially when income stops and expenses continue. For St. Petersburg residents navigating a personal injury claim, a Florida lawsuit loan can offer temporary financial support while the legal process unfolds.
Pre-settlement funding gives plaintiffs more flexibility to manage essential costs and pursue fair compensation without feeling pressured to accept an early settlement.
Legal funding from Tribeca offers flexible financial support to help manage everyday expenses while your case is ongoing.
Lawsuit loans in St. Petersburg can help cover rent or mortgage payments, utilities, groceries, transportation, childcare, and other basic living costs. This support can be especially helpful when injuries make it difficult or impossible to work during your case.
Pre-settlement funding may be used for hospital visits, ongoing treatment, therapy, prescriptions, and follow-up care. Medical expenses often continue long before a case is resolved, creating financial pressure during recovery.
Legal funding can help cover credit card bills, car payments, student loans, and other existing financial obligations. Staying current on these obligations may reduce additional stress and long-term financial consequences.
Access to funding can make it easier to turn down settlement offers that don’t reflect the full value of your claim. This allows your attorney to continue negotiating without immediate financial pressure driving decisions.
Tribeca’s application process is designed to move efficiently while remaining straightforward for applicants.
Complete a short application with basic information about your case. No credit check, income review, or employment verification is required.
Tribeca reviews your claim under Florida legal funding guidelines applicable to St. Petersburg cases. We may work with your attorney to confirm liability, the details of the injury, and the potential settlement value.
If approved, funding is often issued within 24 hours. The funds can be used for medical bills, living expenses, or other immediate needs while your case continues.
Eligibility is determined by the details of your case rather than your personal financial background.
You must have an active personal injury claim in St. Petersburg or elsewhere in Florida. Because funding is tied to a future recovery, unresolved cases with documented injuries must be resolved.
A licensed attorney must be handling your case. Attorney involvement allows for accurate verification and efficient review.
Cases with clear fault, documented injuries, and a realistic path to settlement are more likely to qualify. Strong supporting evidence plays an important role in approval.
Providing complete and accurate details about your injuries, treatment, and case status is essential. Clear information supports fair and appropriate funding decisions.
Medical records, accident reports, legal filings, and related evidence help establish liability and damages. Well-documented cases may qualify more easily and for higher funding amounts.
The defendant or their insurer must be able to pay a settlement or judgment. Cases involving insured or financially stable parties are generally stronger candidates.

Financial stress can make it difficult to wait for a fair resolution. Insurance companies often rely on this urgency to push early offers that undervalue a claim.
Pre-settlement funding helps cover essential expenses, so you’re not forced to settle too quickly. With reduced financial pressure, your attorney can continue working toward appropriate compensation.
Tribeca’s funding is non-recourse, meaning repayment only occurs if your case results in compensation. If there is no recovery, you owe nothing.
When immediate bills are managed, insurers lose leverage. This allows your attorney to negotiate more effectively or prepare the case for trial if needed.

St. Petersburg plaintiffs should be aware that lawsuit loans can reduce the net amount you receive at settlement because repayment (including interest and fees) comes out of your recovery. Costs may be significant if your case takes longer than expected, and some contracts include terms that affect settlement timing or negotiations.
Florida has considered requiring disclosure of lawsuit financing in court (SB 664) to increase transparency, which could impact strategy. Plaintiffs should carefully review interest structures and contractual obligations with their attorney before accepting funding.
Many approved applicants receive funds within 24 hours. Timing depends on how quickly case details and paperwork are completed. Once all information is confirmed and paperwork is finalized, we transfer funds immediately to provide the financial relief you need.
No. Approval is based on your case, not your credit history, income, or employment status. This makes legal funding accessible to all plaintiffs with strong cases regardless of their credit situation.
If your case does not result in recovery, you owe nothing. Repayment only occurs if your case settles successfully. If your lawsuit is lost, dismissed, or results in no recovery, the funding becomes yours to keep with zero repayment obligation or personal liability.
This funding is a non-recourse cash advance against a future settlement, not a traditional loan. The distinction is important because traditional loans require repayment regardless of the outcome, whereas our advances are repaid only if your case results in a successful recovery.
Yes. If your case progresses or your financial needs change, you may apply for additional funding, subject to review. We’ll reassess your current case status to determine whether additional advances are appropriate and what amounts are reasonable.
Repayment comes directly from settlement proceeds. Your attorney handles distribution after deducting the agreed amount. You handle no repayment logistics, make no payments directly, and deal with no collection activities.
No, lawsuit funding doesn’t interfere with your attorney-client relationship or change your legal representation in any manner. We simply coordinate with your legal counsel to verify case details and arrange repayment from settlement proceeds.
Many injury cases qualify, but approval depends on liability, documentation, and expected settlement value. Stronger cases are more likely to be approved. Some case types or circumstances may not meet funding criteria based on legal complexity, disputed liability, or limited recovery potential.
