Pre-Settlement Funding Basics
What is pre-settlement funding?
Pre-settlement funding is a cash advance provided to plaintiffs who have an active personal injury or civil lawsuit. The funding is offered based on the strength and status of your case, not your credit score or employment.
Is pre-settlement funding a loan?
No. Pre-settlement funding is non-recourse, meaning repayment is only required if you win or settle your case. If your case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing.
How is Settle X Capital different from other funding companies?
Settle X Capital focuses on:
- Transparent pricing
- No upfront fees
- Attorney-coordinated case review

Costs, Fees & Repayment

All terms are clearly disclosed before you accept funding. There are no hidden fees.

Funding Amounts & Timing

Funding amounts depend on:
- Estimated settlement value
- Case type and liability
- Attorney cooperation
Many clients receive multiple advances as their case progresses.
How fast can I get funded?
In many cases, approvals happen within 24–48 hours after attorney verification. Funding can be issued shortly after approval.
Can I receive more than one advance?
Yes. Additional funding may be available if your case remains active and eligible.
Attorney Involvement
Does my attorney have to be involved?
Yes. Attorney cooperation is required to verify case details and protect your legal strategy.
Can my attorney deny my funding request?
Your attorney does not approve or deny funding, but they must confirm case details and agree to coordinate repayment from the settlement.
Will this interfere with my case?
No. Pre-settlement funding does not affect case strategy, negotiations, or settlement decisions.
Risks & Considerations
Is pre-settlement funding a good idea?
It can be helpful if you’re facing financial pressure during a long legal process. It’s important to only take what you need and understand the terms.
What are the downsides?
If your case takes longer than expected, the repayment amount may increase over time. That’s why Settle X emphasizes clear disclosures and responsible funding.
Can I cancel after applying?
Yes. There is no obligation to accept funding after approval.
