By reading our frequently asked questions, we hope that you will understand more about pre-settlement lawsuit funding.
What does “pre-settlement lawsuit funding” mean?
Simply this: Before you enter into a settlement or receive a final damage award, Empire offers a cash advance in exchange for an ownership interest in the future settlement proceeds of your lawsuit. We give you cash today and we will receive our payment only from the proceeds of the lawsuit. If you are not successful in your lawsuit, you will have no obligation to pay Empire anything – not a penny. It’s really not considered borrowing or a loan – There are absolutely no credit or background checks. Learn more on Pre Settlement Funding.
Why not just go to the bank?
Banks and other financial institutions check your credit worthiness to determine your eligibility for a loan and make a loan to you that you must repay. At Empire, we 
advance funds to you based on the merits of your personal injury suit, therefore, it may not come to any surprise to you that we do not even check your credit references! Moreover, you have no loan obligations to Empire. If your case fails to produce a money damages settlement or award, you owe Empire nothing.
What about my attorney?
Based on ethics rules that govern attorneys and that are generally patterned after the rules promulgated by the American Bar Association, attorneys are generally prohibited from advancing money to clients, except to the extent of court costs and other similar expenses.
What if I lose my case?
You owe us absolutely nothing and have no obligation to pay Empire anything – not a penny.
