FAQs

Let us prove we are the best pre-settlement funding solution.

What actually is pre-settlement Legal Funding?

Pre-settlement legal funding is when a funding company provides funds to a plaintiff prior to the legal settlement of their case. The pre-settlement funds are usually just a portion of the total funds that will be dispersed at the time of the case settlement. Pre-settlement funds are intended to help a plaintiff cover living expenses until the case settles and they receive their settlement funds.

If you lose your case, the pre-settlement funds do not have to be repaid, as they are considered non-recourse funding. However, if you win your case, your attorney will re-pay the pre-settlement amount to the funding company out of your settlement funds at the time your case is settled.

What is non-recourse legal funding?

Funding that is non-recourse does not have to be paid back if you lose your case. If you lose your case, you owe CAPITAL NOW FUNDING nothing.

Is there any risk to me as the plaintiff?

Absolutely not. If you lose your case, there is no recourse, meaning that you will owe us nothing. If you win your case, your attorney will send us the payoff amount out of your settlement.
