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.
