Clear Answers About Pre-Settlement Legal Funding
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers You Can Trust
We understand that pre-settlement funding can feel unfamiliar. Below are answers to the most common questions about how Hillgrove Financial works, what to expect, and how our non-recourse funding protects you.
What is pre-settlement legal funding?
Pre-settlement legal funding is a non-recourse cash advance provided to plaintiffs with active personal injury cases. It allows injured individuals to access money before their case settles, helping cover everyday expenses while litigation is ongoing.
Do I need good credit or employment to qualify?
No. Hillgrove Financial does not check credit scores, employment history, or personal finances. Approval is based entirely on the strength and potential value of your case.
What does “non-recourse” mean?
Non-recourse means you only repay the funding if your case is successfully resolved. If you do not win your case, you owe nothing—there is no personal liability.
How quickly can I receive funding?
Many applicants receive same-day approval once attorney verification is complete. Funds are typically released quickly after approval, often within hours.
Does my attorney need to be involved?
Yes. We work directly with your attorney to review case details, confirm representation, and ensure the funding process aligns with your legal strategy.
What types of cases do you fund?
We fund most personal injury cases, including car accidents, truck accidents, workplace injuries, medical malpractice, slip and fall claims, and other civil injury cases.
How much funding can I receive?
The amount depends on the strength and estimated value of your case. Our team evaluates each case individually to determine an appropriate funding amount.
Are there any upfront fees or monthly payments?
No. There are no upfront costs, no monthly payments, and no hidden fees. Repayment is only required if your case is successful.
Can I use the funds for any purpose?
Yes. Funds can be used for rent, utilities, groceries, medical expenses, transportation, or any other personal needs while your case is pending.
Will taking funding affect my settlement?
Pre-settlement funding does not affect your case directly. In many situations, it helps reduce financial pressure so you are not forced to accept an early or undervalued settlement.
Is pre-settlement funding a loan?
No. Pre-settlement funding is not a traditional loan. It is a non-recourse advance based on your legal claim, not your personal financial profile.
