Texas (TX) Lawsuit Loans Made Easy

Texas Lawsuit Loans Overview

Our lawsuit settlement funding allows you to pay for whatever you need. We can provide lawsuit loans for cases such as medical malpractice, auto accidents, premises liability, and many more. Accidents and injuries can slow life down. Uplift aims to provide pre-settlement loans so your life doesn’t have to.

Am I Eligible For Pre-Settlement Funding in Texas?

There are no laws regulating pre-settlement funding in Texas. In fact, Texas happens to be one of the very few states that allow a lawyer to directly lend money to their clients. However, a large majority of lawsuit loans are still administered by third-party lawsuit loan companies like Uplift Legal Funding.

You are likely eligible for lawsuit settlement funding if:

1. You were injured by a third party
2. You have a pending settlement claim against an insurance company
3. You have hired a law firm to represent you

Unlike traditional loans, your credit score and employment history are not approval factors for pre-settlement lawsuit loans. A credit check is not performed on any advance request.

With lawsuit loans, approval depends on the strength of your case, not your financial situation.

Because there are no regulations for third-party legal loans, it’s important to do your homework and find a reputable lender with ethical lending practices.

How Much Does a Texas Settlement Loan Cost?

The amount a lawsuit loan costs to repay will depend on the amount of money you borrowed and the terms of your loan.

Not every pre-settlement loan company is the same, and some may charge higher interest rates than others. Look for companies that charge simple interest, which charges interest only on the principal amount, instead of companies that charge compound interest, which can significantly increase the amount you’ll have to repay.

Uplift Legal Funding provides no-win/n0-pay pre-settlement lawsuit loans with simple, non-compounding rates and no upfront fees. Often, Uplift Legal Funding’s total charges come out to half those of our competitors. We disclose our terms upfront and in writing, and our client care team is happy to answer any questions you or your lawyer may have.

How Can I Get the Lowest Lawsuit Settlement Loan Rates In Texas?

Separating the best ones from the pack can be challenging because there are no regulations for third-party legal lending companies in Texas. We have an in-depth guide to help you find the best settlement loan company right here.

There are a couple of key things to look for to help find a reasonably priced lawsuit funding company.

When applying with a lawsuit settlement funding company, you should not have to pay any upfront fees. All reputable lawsuit loan companies provide a free case evaluation. Furthermore, you should not need to provide any case information to get a firm quote on what the settlement cash advance will cost.

So – the best way to find the lowest rate? Comparison shop! Call a few companies that provide lawsuit settlement loans and ask for a quote (in writing) from each. Move forward with two or three companies that have the best terms by providing them with your law firm’s contact information.

Once you have a contract, make sure that the terms of your loans are clearly stated in writing. Watch out for hidden fees and make sure that your lawsuit loan contract does not prohibit you from getting additional funding.

Always avoid companies that charge compound interest, as you’ll end up paying back a lot more of the loan than you would with a company whose terms are simple interest rates.

Uplift Legal Funding charges some of the lowest rates on pre-settlement loans in the industry – we never charge any fees upfront and never charge compound interest.

How Much Pre-Settlement Funding Am I Eligible For In Texas?

Uplift Legal Funding typically caps our Texas settlement loan amount at $250,000. However, not every one of our clients requires that much of a loan or is eligible to borrow that much. The amount we approve depends on the value of your case.

While each legal lending company has different terms, the ballpark for pre-settlement cases is 25% of the demand amount and 50% of the client’s net portion of the settlement award for post-settlement cases. The net portion is the gross settlement value, minus lawyer fees and any other liens or fees associated with the case.

Uplift Legal Funding offers both pre-settlement and post-settlement lawsuit loans. Even once your case has been resolved, it can sometimes take months to receive your funds. You could still be facing financial difficulties. Our post-settlement loans are administered similarly to pre-settlement funding, but we’re able to offer a higher loan amount and lower rates.

Sometimes, the other party may have a certain time frame to pay the plaintiffs, especially in a class-action suit. You could be left waiting months or even a year for your money, but you need the cash, now.

When determining how much money to apply for, take a careful look at what you actually need, versus what you want. Your lawyer may help you find the right amount to borrow.

How Can I Use Pre-Settlement Funding?

Once you receive your pre-settlement loan, how you use the money is largely up to you. Most of our clients use the money to help pay for living expenses and housing, as many of them may have missed work because of their accidents.

For the most part, you can buy groceries, repair or replace your car if it’s been damaged in the accident, and pay your medical bills. However, your settlement loan can’t be used for lawyer fees. Fortunately, most personal injury lawyers work on contingency and will be paid at the conclusion of your case.

Can a Lawsuit Loan Strengthen My Case?

This is a somewhat complicated question. The short answer is no, obtaining a lawsuit loan won’t have any impact on your personal injury or accident case. However, lawsuit loans do frequently help accident victims secure a fair settlement.

Many people who have been hurt in an accident and are filing a lawsuit may have missed work, either right after the accident because of injuries and healing or ongoing appointments for aftercare. Missing work often means smaller paychecks and thus financial struggles.

Insurance companies generally pay the damages on behalf of the at-fault party after an accident, prefer to settle cases fast and for as little money as possible. Once the case is settled, the other party is no longer legally responsible for paying the plaintiff (you) for any other medical care you need due to your injuries.

If you require, say, six months of physical therapy, and you settle your case three months after the accident, then the last three months of treatment are your financial responsibility.

When plaintiffs are in need of money, they tend to settle faster, instead of pursuing the case to the end, including fully concluding medical treatment. If these plaintiffs have the funds to live on while their case is being prosecuted, then they can rest easy during the process.

So, essentially, a lawsuit cash advance can give you and your lawyer more time to determine a just settlement award.

Bad credit has no impact on your funding. We never run credit checks.

Again, your credit rating, financial history, and employment status do not impact your chance at lawsuit funding. Our funding is based exclusively on the merits of your case.

Texas Personal Injury Cheat Sheet

In Texas, the civil statute of limitations is 2 years. If you don’t file your claim within two years of it happening, you may not be able to sue. Uplift is here to provide lawsuit funding so that you can file your claim within this time frame.

Liability claims vary from state to state. Each state decides how much the plaintiff’s fault impacts the damages they can sue for. Texas’s guideline is modified comparative fault with a 51% threshold. It’s important to keep in mind that if you request car accident lawsuit loans early on in your claim, legal funding underwriters must assume Texas state minimum policy limits of:

• $30,000 bodily injury liability per person
• $60,000 bodily injury liability per accident
• $25,000 property damage liability per accident

Lawsuit Loan Alternatives For Texas Plaintiffs

Lawsuit loans can be expensive, and not everyone may be eligible for one. Texas has several social programs that can help needy families, including those whose primary wage-earner is unable to work due to an accident.

• Families who may be vulnerable to eviction or who need help with housing can receive help from Texas Housing Assistance (Rent Assistance and Eviction Diversion, etc.). This agency offers rent assistance and helps families to avoid eviction, as well as assistance with placement in low-income housing.
• Families who need immediate assistance with food may check the Texas Food Bank Network to find a food bank near them, as well as hours and whether or not an ID or proof of residency is required.
• If you’re unable to work because of an injury and have lost your family health insurance, you may be eligible for Texas Medicaid.
• Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) can help families who are in dire financial straits and need cash immediately.
• Feeding Texas helps Texas families with healthy meal planning and nutrition and engaging in more physical activity. Representatives can help people who receive SNAP food benefits maximize their benefits with smart meal planning.

Do I Need a Lawyer To Get a Lawsuit Loan In Texas?

Yes. While Uplift Legal Funding doesn’t require you to have filed your lawsuit before applying for a pre-settlement loan, we will need to speak with the licensed attorney representing your case. They are the one who is ultimately responsible for paying the loan back.

Your personal injury lawyer probably works on a contingency basis, which means that they only get paid if they win your case. Their fee is a portion of the settlement money. Lawsuit loans are likewise repaid from your settlement award. If you lose your case, then you don’t have to pay the settlement loan back.

If you’re having trouble finding a lawyer to represent you in a personal injury case, Uplift Legal Funding can help!
