Often, yes, if the claim can support it. Each additional advance is a separate written agreement with its own terms, and every advance is claimed against the same eventual recovery — so the combined position matters more than any single one.
Why the second advance is harder than the first
The first advance is sized against your expected net recovery. The second is sized against whatever is left of it. As advances stack, the room shrinks.
At some point the arithmetic stops working, and a responsible funder will tell you so rather than writing an advance that would leave you with nothing at the end.
What changes in between
Sometimes the case gets stronger — liability is admitted, more coverage is found, treatment establishes the extent of the injury. That can create room that didn't exist before.
Sometimes it gets weaker. A comparative fault finding or a coverage problem can reduce what the claim is likely to produce.
Always disclose existing advances
Whether you're coming back to the same company or going to a different one, disclose every advance already taken against the claim. Omitting one doesn't get you more money — it gets the problem discovered at payoff, when it's worse for everyone, including you.
Before signing any additional agreement, ask for the combined payoff position so you can see the whole picture at once.
