Benefits and costs of lawsuit settlement loans in Florida
Lawsuit loans provide a no-strings-attached legal lifeline. If you’re struggling to keep up with life’s financial responsibilities while engaged in a personal injury lawsuit, pre-settlement funding can be the answer. These cash advances have no hidden fees, no monthly payments, and don’t rely on a clean financial history to access.
With a lawsuit loan from a reputable agency like Uplift, you can afford things like medical bills and legal costs (aside from attorney’s fees) to help strengthen your personal injury case. This also means you can resist the pressure to settle for less than your case is worth — something many insurers may try to persuade you to do.
Lawsuit loans of 100% risk-free. If you win your case, you pay back your advance using money from your settlement. If you lose, you don’t pay anything back.
In terms of repayment, Uplift can give you access to some of the most favorable rates in the industry. We offer simple, non-compounding interest on pre-settlement loans so that if and when you win your case, you’re don’t have to struggle to pay back the funding needed during the proceedings.
What does a Florida lawsuit loan cost?
The cost of your Florida lawsuit loan depends on a wide range of factors. First, you only pay back this funding if you do not win your case. This means that a lawsuit loan is a low-risk way to finance your case — it only costs anything if you win!
If you win, the cost of your Florida lawsuit loan depends on a few factors. The first is the most obvious: the amount of funding you receive. Of course, you’ll have to pay back the amount you were awarded.
It also depends on how long the case takes to settle. Your loan accrues interest on the amount of the loan, so the cost of the loan will be higher if your case takes longer to conclude.
This is why it’s important to compare funding companies before signing terms to receive pre-settlement support. Some companies have different interest rates and funding limits.
For example, Uplift Legal Funding loans only gain interest on the principal (without interest) while other companies may include the previous term’s interest when calculating the current term. This means — even if interest rates are equal — one loan will be more expensive over time. Uplift rates are transparent and fair, which is why more Florida plaintiffs trust us than any other option.
Can I get pre-settlement funding in Florida with bad credit?
Many plaintiffs are surprised to find that pre-settlement funding is not affected by credit history. In fact, our process doesn’t even include a credit check. Your credit score and financial situation are not factors because a lawsuit loan against your pending lawsuit is non-recourse. Your personal injury attorney only pays back the funding if your case settles.
Thus, all that matters in deciding whether you’re eligible for pre-settlement funding is the specifics of the case: who’s at fault, the amount of your medical bills and other factors.
How to compare rates for legal funding in Florida
It may be easy to simply search “best legal funding companies and Florida” and go with the first one you see. Unfortunately, however, this may not get you the best results for your case.
There is a number of things to look out for that may affect your chance of getting good terms, a favorable interest rate, and a simple loan that provides the assistance you need — when you need it. To find the best options for lawsuit loans in Florida, ask a lot of questions of any company you find as well as any attorney who refers you to a lawsuit loan provider.

Do I need a lawyer to get a lawsuit cash advance in Florida?
Yes. You need to have a lawyer appointed to your case in order to qualify for a lawsuit loan in Florida. This is because according to Florida state law, it’s actually the responsibility of your attorney to repay the loan from the court settlement if you win your case.
This is why it’s so important for you and your lawyer to find the best company for your needs. If you rush into an agreement, you may receive less of the settlement than you deserve due to unfavorable terms, or predatory, compounding interest rates that your lawyer must pay back from your winnings.
What can I use lawsuit loans for?
There are very few restrictions on how you use a lawsuit loan, aside from using it on attorney’s fees. Pre-settlement lawsuit loans can be used for:
- Medical bills (past and future): Bills incurred from your injury, tests that may add insight to your condition and strengthen your case, or unrelated medical bills may be covered by lawsuit loans.
- Loan repayment: Student loans, car loans, and mortgage payments may all be made using pre-settlement funding.
- Utility bills and household needs: Basic living expenses like rent payments, covering energy costs, and feeding your family are common uses of lawsuit settlement funding
- Other resources for your case: Lawsuit loans can be used to strengthen your personal injury case in other ways, including hiring experts for testimony and covering the cost of travel.
Is there a benefit to choosing a local Florida lawsuit funding company?
Contrary to what some believe, there is no benefit to choosing a local company to handle your pre-settlement loan request. Florida, like most states, has basically no regulation for lawsuit loan companies.
Most funding companies provide the cash you need via a wire to your bank account, a Western Union, or an overnight check. That means you’re free to choose any company in the United States. We suggest choosing the settlement cash advance company that offers the best rates.

Florida lawsuit funding cheat sheet
The statute of limitations for personal injury cases in Florida is 4 years. This means that you can’t sue if the claim is older than 4 years. Uplift is here to provide settlement funding so that you can file your claim within this limit. Different states follow slightly different regulations.
Often, for legal funding requests early-on in a case, companies providing lawsuit loans in Florida must assume state minimum policy limits of:
- $10,000 PIP (personal injury protection)
- $10,000 PDL (property damage liability)
Florida is a “No-Fault” state. This means both parties go to their auto insurance to make their claims. This happens regardless of who is at fault. When injury is greater than how much PIP covers then a lawsuit can be filed.

Regulation of Lawsuit Loans in Florida
Florida has relatively minimal restrictions about funding your personal injury case using lawsuit loans, as long as the lender is not found to be interfering with litigation in any way (per Kraft v. Mason, 1996).
Attorneys and fees
In only one situation can an attorney fully pay for a client’s expenses. The Florida Ethics Opinion states that if a client is impoverished, an attorney may pay their court fees.
An attorney is able to make cash advances on a court case. This cash advance will or will not be paid back, depending on the outcome of the case.
Alternatives to pre-settlement lawsuit loans in Florida
There are no other programs that provide money to directly help you cover a broad range of expenses while the result is still pending. That’s what makes companies like Uplift so unique. We provide assistance to people in need to help cover medical expenses, utility bills, and other costs so they can get the treatment they need without taking a settlement that’s less than what they deserve.
There are other options for financial support, however. These options include:
- Florida Food Banks: There are food banks operating in regions across the state of Florida so that needy families can receive assistance with nutrition for their families.
- Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program: Florida LIHEAP helps qualified Florida residents to afford their heating and energy bills year-round.
- Other state-run programs like Florida Medicaid, EBT (formerly known as food stamps), and temporary assistance for needy families (TANF).

Florida Personal Injury Statistics
Florida has a very high wrongful death rate. It’s the 9th highest in the United States. A lot of these accidents are due to car accidents or motor vehicle accidents.
Car and motor vehicle accident statistics
Florida residents drive an estimated total of 207 billion miles yearly. Which means you drive about 10,211 miles a year.
Residents are about average when it comes to buckling up. About 87% of the time, people from Florida put on a seatbelt.
The drinking rate in Florida, on the other hand, is higher than the national average. Due to these factors, Florida’s car accident fatality rate is higher than the US national average.
