One of the most common questions plaintiffs ask is: How much pre-settlement funding can I qualify for? The answer depends on several factors, but generally, funding providers advance a portion of your expected settlement value—not the entire amount.
This article explains how funding amounts are determined, what influences eligibility, and how Instabridge ensures plaintiffs receive fair, transparent advances.
The Typical Range of Pre-Settlement Advances
Most funding providers, including Instabridge, offer 10–20% of the expected settlement value as an advance. This ensures you receive meaningful relief without exhausting the funds you’ll need once the case concludes.
For example:
If your case is valued at $100,000, you may be eligible for a $10,000–$20,000 advance.
If your case is valued at $500,000, you may qualify for $50,000–$100,000.
Key Factors That Influence Funding Amounts
1. Case Strength
Stronger cases with clear liability and damages may qualify for larger advances.
2. Estimated Settlement Value
Higher-value cases typically allow for higher advances, since repayment comes from the settlement itself.
3. Type of Case
Certain case types—such as catastrophic injury, medical malpractice, or wrongful death—tend to have higher settlement values, making larger advances possible.
4. Attorney Involvement
Your attorney must cooperate in the process. Providers rely on your lawyer’s documentation and input to approve and size the advance.
5. Existing Advances
If you’ve already received funding, additional advances may be limited to protect your eventual payout.
Why Not Fund the Full Settlement Value?
Funding only a portion of the expected settlement protects plaintiffs. If you borrow too much, you may be left with little or nothing once the case resolves. By advancing a fair percentage, Instabridge ensures you still walk away with meaningful compensation after legal fees and repayment.
