![Plaintiff Funding - Managing Client Expectations](https://cdn.nwe.io/files/x/d2/5e/7ba5f683fc8beb6601e3a0d694ae.jpg)
When clients know upfront exactly how much they will be paying for their advance, it is far less likely that there will be any surprises or unmet expectations.

Some litigation funding companies advertise low-interest rates (2% to 4%) but if you read the fine print, you see that these are monthly rates (not annual rates) and many charge high origination, case handling and underwriting fees--often burying fee verbiage in the small print of the contract.
![Leveling the Playing Field in Lengthy Litigation](https://cdn.nwe.io/files/x/94/bd/8c65f790ce5191b98334e5afb236.jpg)
Pre-settlement funding is one way to level the litigation playing field. When injured clients have funds available to pay for living expenses while their case is being resolved, they are less likely to push for an early settlement that is not in their best interest.
An initial pre-settlement advance to cover a client's short-term expenses may not be sufficient when a case drags on
A pre-settlement funding agreement should not be another confusing document that your client has to decipher
Plaintiffs who can't work because of an injury can often quickly run through their savings while waiting for their case to navigate through the legal system. Borrowing funds to cover living expenses is often out of the question and impractical.

![Settlement Funding—A Financial Solution to Settlement Delays](https://cdn.nwe.io/files/x/64/ef/efa4d278db00eba3d6cd969eb64d.jpg)
Unfortunately, the simplest personal injury cases where the injury was caused by negligence by a third party can takes months to resolve.
![Settlement Funding and Loans—Not the Same](https://cdn.nwe.io/files/x/f3/d4/af446a9e73cee0f658f70980f9eb.jpg)
Settlement funding (or a settlement advance) is much different from a bank loan, credit card cash advance or line of credit.
