Quick Summary (For Fast Answers)
What is a lawsuit loan?
A lawsuit loan (or pre-settlement funding) is a non-recourse cash advance against a future legal settlement. It is not a traditional loan.
What does “Non-Recourse” mean?
It means you only repay the money if you win your case. If you lose, you owe $0.
What are the interest rates in 2026?
Rates typically range from 4% to 10% per month. At ECO Pre-settlement Funding, we prioritize [Simple/Capped] interest to protect your final payout.
How Lawsuit Loans Work (Step-by-Step)
Unlike bank loans, which consider your credit score, our funding is based solely on the quality of your case.
- The “Human” Review
We don’t use automated algorithms to deny you. A real case manager reviews your application. We look at:
- Liability: Is the defendant clearly at fault?
- Insurance: Does the defendant have adequate insurance coverage?
- Damages: How severe is your injury?
- The Advance
If approved, we purchase a portion of your future settlement. You get the cash now (via Wire, ACH, or Check) to pay for:
- Rent & Eviction Prevention
- Medical Surgeries & Copays
- Daily Living Expenses
- The Repayment
Repayment only happens after your case settles. Your attorney pays us directly from the settlement check. You never make a monthly payment from your own pocket.

The legal funding industry has changed. In 2026, transparency is everything. Here is our promise to you:
| Traditional Lenders | ECO Pre-settlement Funding |
| Hidden Fees: Surprise “archiving” or “underwriting” fees. | $0 Upfront Fees: We never charge you to apply. |
| Compounding Interest: Interest charges interest, doubling your debt quickly. | [Simple/Capped] Interest: We use transparent rates so you keep more money. |
| Over-Funding: Lending you too much so you have nothing left later. | Responsible Caps: We generally limit funding to 15% of case value to protect you. |
Am I Eligible? (Qualification Checklist)
We currently fund plaintiffs in 40+ states. You typically qualify if:
- You have hired an attorney on a contingency basis.
- You have suffered a personal injury (Car Accident, Slip & Fall, Labor Law).
- The defendant has insurance coverage.
- You are aged 18 or older.
Note: We generally cannot fund cases in the states where it is not legal.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this legally a loan?
Technically, no. In most states, this is a “purchase of a portion of potential proceeds.” Because there is no absolute obligation to repay (if you lose), it is not a loan under the law in many jurisdictions.
What happens if my case takes 3 years?
This is the biggest risk with funding. If your case drags on, interest accumulates. This is why we urge clients to take only what they need and offer [Simple Interest/Capped Rates] to prevent the balance from exceeding their share.
Can I get a second advance?
Yes. If your case value increases (e.g., due to surgery), we can review your file for additional funding.
