Guide
When you apply for pre-settlement funding, your attorney plays a key role in the process. Many plaintiffs wonder how receiving funding might affect their lawyer’s strategy or the overall direction of their case. The truth is, when handled ethically and transparently, pre-settlement funding can actually strengthen your attorney’s position—allowing them to fight for a fair, full-value settlement without financial pressure dictating the pace.
This article explains how funding and legal strategy work together, and why collaboration between you, your attorney, and a responsible provider like Instabridge is essential.
Attorneys and Funding: A Strategic Partnership
Your attorney’s primary goal is to maximize your settlement or verdict. However, financial stress can make plaintiffs anxious to settle early—often for far less than they deserve. When plaintiffs are stable and secure, attorneys have the time they need to build stronger cases.
That’s where pre-settlement funding helps:
Removes urgency to settle early
Allows time for stronger evidence collection and expert testimony
Gives your attorney more leverage during negotiations
Keeps communication focused on the case—not financial distress
In short, financial relief translates directly into better legal outcomes.
How Funding Interacts With Case Strategy
Attorneys consider several strategic factors when a client receives funding:
Settlement Timing: Without financial pressure, your attorney can negotiate patiently for maximum value.
Litigation Strength: Funding ensures you can continue necessary medical treatment, which strengthens the evidence for damages.
Negotiation Power: When insurers know you’re financially stable, they lose leverage from delay tactics.
Case Longevity: Some cases simply need time—funding allows your lawyer to stay the course without compromise.
What Ethical Providers Do (and Don’t Do)
An ethical pre-settlement funding provider never interferes with your attorney’s strategy. Instead, they:
Work directly with your attorney for case documentation and repayment coordination
Provide clear, non-recourse terms—so your lawyer knows you won’t face financial harm if the case is lost
Respect all client–attorney privilege boundaries
At Instabridge, we pride ourselves on professionalism and discretion, supporting—not steering—the legal process.
