Slip and fall accidents can happen anywhere — in a store aisle, on uneven pavement, in a parking lot, on a wet floor, or at a private residence. These incidents can lead to serious injuries that disrupt your life, create unexpected medical bills, and force you to miss work. If your fall was caused by someone else’s negligence, pursuing a personal injury claim may help you recover compensation. However, legal cases often take a long time to resolve, and the financial strain can be overwhelming while you wait. Pre‑settlement funding from Neo Legal Funding is designed to ease that burden by providing cash advances based on your pending slip and fall claim.
A slip and fall case arises when someone suffers an injury after slipping, tripping, or falling due to a hazardous condition on another person’s property. To have a valid claim, you typically need to show that:
Every slip and fall accident is unique, and the strength of your claim depends on the facts and evidence of your specific situation.
Slip and fall accidents can occur in a variety of locations, including:
Hazards that lead to falls include wet or slippery surfaces, uneven flooring, cluttered walkways, loose carpets, poor lighting, and weather‑related dangers like ice or snow. When these conditions cause an injury, you may be entitled to compensation.
While your slip and fall lawsuit is pending, you still have bills to pay and daily expenses to manage. Pre‑settlement funding can provide financial relief so you don’t have to delay medical treatment, fall behind on rent, or struggle with everyday costs.
This type of funding is not a traditional loan. Instead, it’s a cash advance based on the expected value of your future settlement. Repayment only happens if your case is successful — if you do not receive a settlement or award, you aren’t required to pay back the advance.
Getting pre‑settlement funding is typically a straightforward process:
You can use the money however you need — for medical care, living expenses, transportation costs, or other financial obligations — while your attorney continues to pursue your claim.
Pre‑settlement funding provides several advantages for people suffering after a slip and fall injury:
This financial support gives you the ability to wait for a fair settlement instead of feeling pressured to accept a low offer due to financial stress.
How soon can I get pre‑settlement funds for my slip and fall case?
Once your application is approved and paperwork is complete, funding can often be transferred within a couple of business days.
Do I have to pay back the funding if I lose my slip and fall case?
No. Pre‑settlement funds are non‑recourse, meaning repayment is only required if your lawsuit results in a settlement or award.
Can I use the funds for things besides medical bills?
Yes — you can use the advance for everyday expenses like rent, utilities, groceries, transportation, or any other financial needs while your case is pending.
