The following will help you understand what needs to happen for you to get your fees quickly from FastFunds after you settle your case. How much you get from the claim and how soon you get it all depends on how the case resolves. You may not see this compensation come in for weeks, months, or sometimes years. The money you have to spend after settling does not go on hold while you wait for this money to come in. If you are frustrated with the wait, post settlement funding may be a good choice for you. Post Settlement for Plaintiffs The defendant in a case will have to pay the plaintiff some of the amount agreed to after the settlement is agreed on. It is not usually the total amount, because the law does not hold anyone to pay in full by a certain deadline. Because of this, the wait time could vary between weeks and years. If there was a contract signed regarding payments, that can take a very long time to see the award in full. Most people need help with money right away. That’s why post settlement funding may be the right choice for you. You can have compensation within 24 hours of your application being approved. Post Settlement for Attorneys When a case settles, the lawyers who work on a contingency are then able to collect their fees and use that capital to fund their business.

A faster turnover between settlement and collecting money can help a firm thrive.
