What Are Premises Liability Lawsuit Loans?
A premises liability lawsuit loan is a cash advance tied to your pending injury claim against a negligent property owner. It is not a bank loan. We advance money based on the expected value of your case, and when the case settles, repayment comes straight out of the settlement, not your savings or your paycheck. If your case loses, the advance is forgiven and you keep what you received.
You will also hear it called premises liability settlement funding, a premises liability cash advance, or a non-recourse premises liability loan. They all mean the same thing. There are no monthly payments and no credit requirements. We look at your case, not your finances, so you may qualify regardless of your credit score or employment status.
The money is yours to use for whatever you need most, from medical bills and rent to groceries and everyday costs while you heal. For the full mechanics, see our guide on how pre-settlement funding works, or look at the closely related slip and fall accident loans.
How Premises Liability Funding Works
Your focus should be on recovery, not paperwork. Most cases go from application to wired funds in two to three business days, and we handle the case side with your attorney.
1. Apply in 2 minutes
Submit the short form or call. Give us your contact details, your attorney’s info, and a quick note about where and how you were hurt. No documents needed from you.
2. We review your case
Our team contacts your attorney for the incident report and medical records, then reviews liability and likely value. Most decisions come within 24 hours.
3. Get your cash
Once approved, funds are sent directly to you, often the same day or the next business day. No upfront fees.
Who Qualifies for Premises Liability Funding?
Approval comes down to three things: an attorney representing you on contingency, clear liability showing the property owner was negligent, and documented injuries backed by medical records. It does not matter whether you were hurt in a store, an apartment complex, a parking lot, or a private home. Clear liability and documented injuries are the two biggest factors.
You usually qualify if
- An attorney is handling the case on a contingency fee
- A property owner’s negligence caused the hazard, and it is documented
- You got medical treatment within a reasonable time after the injury
- Your case has not settled or been dismissed yet
You will not qualify if
- You are representing yourself (we cannot fund pro se cases)
- Liability is genuinely unclear, with no incident report and no witnesses
- You already accepted a final settlement offer in writing
- The filing deadline in your state has already passed
Premises liability covers a wide range of property owners, from private homeowners and landlords to retail chains, restaurants, and government buildings. Not sure your case fits? Browse the other case types we fund or just apply and let underwriting take a look.
Premises Liability Cases We Fund
Premises liability is far more than slip and fall. Any time a property owner fails to keep their space reasonably safe and someone gets hurt, there may be a claim. The cases we commonly fund include:
Slip and fall accidents
Wet floors, spills, ice, uneven surfaces, or poor lighting that cause a fall.
Negligent security
Assaults or crimes enabled by poor lighting, no security, or broken locks.
Defective conditions
Broken stairs, loose handrails, faulty elevators, or unsafe wiring.
Store and retail injuries
Falling merchandise, cluttered aisles, or hazards inside a shop.
Swimming pool accidents
Injuries from missing fencing, no supervision, or poor pool upkeep.
Dog bites and animal attacks
Bites on a property where the owner failed to control their animal.
We also fund injuries at amusement parks, on escalators, and from poorly maintained sidewalks and walkways. If your case looks unusual, apply anyway. Strong liability often matters more than the label on the file.
Why Premises Liability Victims Need Support
A fall or assault on someone else’s property can cause injuries that keep you out of work for weeks or months. The injuries we see most include:
- Broken bones, fractures, and dislocations
- Traumatic brain injuries and concussions
- Spinal cord, neck, and back damage
- Torn ligaments, soft tissue injuries, and sprains
- Lacerations, facial scarring, and lasting psychological trauma
Medical treatment, rehab, and lost income add up fast, and many victims cannot work while they heal. Property owners and their insurers know this, and they often drag the process out to wear you down. That delay is exactly the pressure the insurance companies count on to push you toward a faster, lower settlement. Pre-settlement funding takes that pressure away.
Why Premises Liability Cases Are Harder to Prove
Premises liability claims are often tougher to win than a typical car accident case, and that difficulty is exactly why financial support matters. In a car crash, the damage and fault are usually visible at the scene. On a property, the hazard that hurt you, a spill, a loose stair, a burned-out parking lot light, is often cleaned up or repaired within hours. Proving it existed at all takes investigation, witness statements, and sometimes surveillance footage your attorney has to fight to obtain.
The biggest legal hurdle is notice. To win, your attorney usually has to show the owner knew about the dangerous condition, or should have known and failed to fix it in a reasonable time. The owner’s insurer will argue they had no idea the hazard was there. They will also lean on comparative fault, claiming you were careless, distracted, or somewhere you should not have been, in order to shift blame onto you and shrink the payout.
On top of that, large property owners like retail chains and management companies field experienced legal teams and well-funded insurers whose job is to delay and minimize. All of it adds time before a fair settlement arrives. A pre-settlement advance buys your attorney that time by keeping your finances stable while the case develops, so you are not forced to accept a discounted offer just to pay this month’s bills.
How Much Can You Get on a Premises Liability Case?
Approved advances usually land between 10% and 20% of the expected net settlement. Take a case worth $150,000 with $60,000 going to legal fees and costs. The net is $90,000, so a reasonable advance falls around $9,000 to $18,000. Here is how that plays out across common case sizes:
| Estimated case value | Net after fees & costs | Typical advance range |
|---|---|---|
| $25,000 | ~$15,000 | $1,500 to $3,000 |
| $50,000 | ~$30,000 | $3,000 to $6,000 |
| $100,000 | ~$60,000 | $6,000 to $12,000 |
| $250,000 | ~$150,000 | $15,000 to $30,000 |
| $500,000+ | ~$300,000 | $30,000 to $60,000+ |
Four things push the approved amount higher: the severity of your injuries, how clear the liability is, the size of the available insurance, and how close the case is to settlement. For the pricing detail, see our breakdown of pre-settlement funding costs and fees.

Premises Liability Loan vs Other Ways to Get Cash
When money gets tight during recovery, most people weigh a few options. Here is how a pre-settlement advance compares with the usual alternatives.
| Option | Owe it if you lose? | Credit check? | Monthly payments? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premises liability loan | No | No | No |
| Credit card | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Personal bank loan | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Borrowing from family | Yes | No | Often |
What happens if you lose your case?
You owe nothing. The agreement is non-recourse, so our right to repayment only exists if your case results in a settlement or judgment. If a jury rules against you, or the case falls apart, the advance is forgiven. Nothing goes to collections, nothing lands on your credit report, and the funder absorbs the full loss. That risk is also why the payback figure looks higher than a bank rate. For you, the trade is simple: a known cost if you win, and zero cost if you lose.
