Pre-settlement funding · California
Green Light advances part of your future settlement so you can cover what's due now — without settling early for less than your claim is worth.
Where we come in
Personal injury claims can take a long time to resolve, and how long varies widely. Funding fills the gap between the day your attorney takes the case and the day the check clears.
Wages stop. Treatment starts. The costs begin immediately.
Your lawyer opens the file and puts the insurer on notice.
We review the file with your attorney and send funds once the paperwork is done.
Discovery, medical records, mediation. Usually the longest stage.
Your attorney repays us from the proceeds. You keep the rest.
Funding exists so you don't have to take the insurer's first offer just because the mortgage is due. That's the whole point.
How it works
Five minutes. We need your contact details, the basics of what happened, and your attorney's name.
One call to your firm for the case file and the police report or medical records. You don't chase paperwork.
You get the full terms in writing, in plain language, before you sign anything.
Wire or check, once contracts are signed. Spend it on whatever you need.
How the money works
Legal funding works differently from a loan, and the difference is the part worth understanding before you apply.
A loan is money you have to pay back. This isn't that. We buy a portion of whatever your case eventually pays, and our right to be repaid exists only if there are proceeds.
That's what non-recourse means, and it's the whole structure of the agreement — we take on the risk that the case comes back with nothing.
It also means we can't touch your credit, your paycheck, your car or your home if the case doesn't go your way.
Cases we fund
Not sure whether yours qualifies? Call and ask. It takes two minutes and there's no cost to find out.
For attorneys and paralegals
A funded client is a client who can afford to wait for the number the case deserves. We try to make that cost your firm as little time as possible.
We ask for the file once, in a single list, and we don't call your paralegal every week for status.
Funding is non-recourse and runs to the client, not to you. Your firm doesn't guarantee anything.
Your client gets the complete written terms for review before executing, and we welcome your comments on them.
Questions
You keep the money and you owe us nothing. That's not a courtesy — it's the structure of the agreement. Our repayment comes only out of proceeds, so no proceeds means no repayment.
No. We don't underwrite you, we underwrite the claim: liability, damages, treatment, and the policy limits available. Your credit score and employment don't factor into the decision.
Yes. Your attorney has to acknowledge the funding and confirm they'll pay us out of the settlement proceeds. Most personal injury firms handle these routinely.
It depends on the expected value of your case and what's already claimed against it — medical liens, prior advances, your attorney's fee. As a rule, funders stay well below what you'd net, so there's a meaningful recovery left for you at the end.
Anything. Rent, groceries, the car payment, childcare, medical bills. There are no restrictions and no receipts to submit.
Often, yes, if the case supports it. Each additional advance is a new agreement with its own terms, and we'll show you the combined payoff before you sign.
Right now we fund claims pending in California. If your case is filed elsewhere, call us anyway — we'll tell you plainly whether we can help.
Request funding
No cost, no obligation, and no effect on your credit. We'll come back to you within one business day.
Something went wrong on our end — your request was not received. Please call us at 310-303-1858 or email intake@greenlightlegalfunding.com and we'll take your information directly.
We'll call you at the number you gave us within one business day. If you need to reach us sooner, call (310) 303-1858.
Request received
Someone from our office will call you at the number you gave us. If you need to reach us before then, call 310-303-1858 — you'll get a person, not a queue.
A short conversation to confirm the basics of your claim and who represents you.
With your authorization, we ask their office for the case information we need. You don't chase paperwork.
If we can offer funding, the full terms come to you in writing to review with your attorney before you sign. Approval is never guaranteed.
Nothing you've submitted obligates you to accept an offer, and nothing about it affects your credit.
