Not all injuries are visible. Emotional trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and psychological distress can be just as debilitating as physical harm—often affecting every part of a plaintiff’s life. From sleepless nights and anxiety to loss of income or relationships, the road to recovery can be long and expensive.

For plaintiffs pursuing justice for emotional injuries, pre-settlement funding provides vital financial relief. It helps cover living expenses, therapy, and daily needs while your attorney builds your case and negotiates fair compensation.

Understanding Emotional Distress and PTSD Claims

Emotional distress claims can arise from many types of incidents, including:

• Car accidents or workplace injuries resulting in PTSD or anxiety

• Harassment, discrimination, or defamation in the workplace

• Medical malpractice leading to long-term trauma

• Assault, abuse, or catastrophic events causing psychological harm

These cases often require expert evaluations, detailed documentation, and long-term treatment plans—all of which take time and money.

The Financial Strain of Psychological Injury

While mental health injuries may not leave physical scars, their impact is significant. Plaintiffs frequently face:

• High therapy and medication costs

• Time away from work and reduced income

• Ongoing medical evaluations for the lawsuit

• Difficulty managing basic expenses during recovery

Because emotional distress cases are complex, settlements can take months or even years.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps

Pre-settlement funding provides a non-recourse cash advance against your anticipated settlement or verdict. That means:

• You get cash now—usually within 24–48 hours after approval

• You only repay if your case wins or settles

• If your case is unsuccessful, you owe nothing

This funding gives you the flexibility to focus on healing while your attorney fights for justice.

How Plaintiffs Use Funding

Funding can help cover both treatment and daily living costs, such as:

• Therapy, counseling, or psychiatric care

• Prescription medications

• Rent, mortgage, and utilities

• Groceries, childcare, and transportation

By removing financial stress, plaintiffs can focus fully on recovery.
