As a plaintiff in a personal injury case, it’s vital that you’re aware of the options you have to keep your finances in good shape throughout the court process, especially if you’re unable to work.

Court proceedings can take months, and in some cases even years, to settle. You still need to put food on the table, pay your mortgage or rent and keep the lights on, among other necessary expenses.

If your injury is severe enough that you can’t work or earn an income, a settlement loan is a great way to manage your financial situation as you await a legal settlement, providing some peace of mind that essential living needs are covered.

The Basics of Qualifying

Plaintiffs in personal injury cases can apply for a settlement loan, in staged or lump sum payments, to cover:

• Mortgage or rent obligation
• Food
• Transportation costs
• Medical services, such as physical rehabilitation fees

CaseMark Financial evaluates each case individually, working closely with lawyers to determine the right terms for every client and ensure the amount loaned doesn’t exceed your anticipated legal settlement. Our settlement loans ensure our clients make better decisions and avoid accepting an early settlement offer if they feel like they can’t afford to wait.

Unlike traditional lending options, settlement loans won’t impact your credit rating and CaseMark offers interest rates that actually decrease over the length of your loan.

CaseMark lends in situations where other lenders won't and that no credit checks will be performed. We don’t require applicants to provide proof of employment or other information related to income. This means applicants aren’t turned down for traditional reasons, such as poor credit or lack of steady employment.

Approved applicants also receive their loans quickly - the approval process is completed within 24 hours.
