Pre-Settlement Funding in Washington, D.C.

If you’re involved in a personal injury lawsuit in Washington, D.C. and need financial help while your case is pending, pre-settlement funding can provide the support you need. Pegasus Legal Capital helps plaintiffs get through difficult times.

We provide non–recourse cash advances, which means you only repay us if you win your case. If your lawsuit doesn’t result in compensation, you owe nothing and keep the money we advanced. This helps D.C. plaintiffs avoid accepting inadequate settlements due to financial troubles.

Unlike traditional loans that require repayment regardless of your case outcome, our Washington, D.C., pre-settlement funding eliminates personal financial risk. We don’t check your credit, verify your employment, or demand monthly payments. We invest in your case’s potential value, and we only collect if your case succeeds through settlement or verdict.

How Pre-Settlement Funding Helps You Avoid Early Low-Ball Offers

Insurance companies have perfected the strategy of making low initial settlement offers to financially desperate plaintiffs. Understanding this tactic helps you see how our Washington, D.C., pre-settlement funding protects you from being exploited.

Insurance adjusters know that most people live paycheck to paycheck. When injuries prevent you from working and bills start accumulating, desperation sets in quickly. Adjusters make offers that seem attractive only because you’re desperate for cash. These early offers rarely reflect the true value of your injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Pre-settlement funding removes the desperation that makes low-ball offers tempting. When your immediate needs are covered, you can evaluate settlement offers rationally based on case value rather than urgency. This patience often results in substantially higher settlements.

An Example Scenario

Without funding, you might accept a $40,000 offer after three months because you’re facing eviction and your utilities are being disconnected. With funding covering your needs, you can wait six more months for the insurance company to increase its offer to $100,000.

Even after repaying your funding advance and our fees, you walk away with significantly more money than if you’d settled early. Insurance companies adjust their strategies when they realize you have funding. They know their usual pressure tactics won’t work, which often leads them to make better offers.

What Is Pre-Settlement Funding and How Does It Work?

Pre-settlement funding is not a loan. Loans create personal debt obligations that you must repay regardless of circumstances. Pre-settlement funding is an investment in your case’s potential outcome. If your case doesn’t succeed, you have no personal obligation to repay anything.

The process begins when you apply for funding through our online application or by contacting us directly. You provide basic information about yourself, your attorney, and your case. We then reach out to your attorney to verify case details and gather the information we need to evaluate your case’s strength and potential value.

If we approve your application, we will prepare a funding agreement that clearly explains all terms and fees. You and your attorney review this agreement before signing. The contract specifies the advance amount, how fees accrue over time, and the repayment terms that apply only if your case succeeds.

Getting You Money Fast

Once everyone signs the agreement, we process your funding. Most approved applicants receive their money within 24-48 hours through direct deposit or other fast payment methods. You can use this money however you need, without restrictions or oversight from us.

During your case, there are no monthly payments or reporting requirements. The funding simply exists as an advance against your future settlement. Fees accrue over time based on how long your case takes to resolve, but you never make payments during the case itself.

When your case settles or goes to a verdict, repayment occurs automatically through your attorney. Settlement proceeds go to your attorney’s trust account first. Your attorney then pays off the funding advance plus accrued fees, satisfies any other liens or obligations, takes their fee, and distributes the remaining balance to you. Everything happens in one transaction.

You Keep What You Get

If your case doesn’t result in a recovery, you owe nothing. You keep the money we advanced, and we absorb the loss entirely. This non-recourse protection is what makes pre-settlement funding fundamentally different from loans and what makes it a risk-free option for plaintiffs.
