Funds |
Company that provides
lawsuit funding (also known as pre settlement funding) or
acts as a broker to companies that provide lawsuit funding
for plaintiffs through a lawsuit loan or lawsuit cash advance.
Before selecting a pre settlement funding company, it is important
to verify that the company makes the lawsuit funding itself
and is not a broker who will charge you a brokerage fee from
the cash of the funding. When selecting a lawsuit funding
company, you should also make sure the pre settlement funding
company publishes its pricing in a public place and that they
inform you of any upfront fees. You should compare pre settlement
funding companies by the amount of cash you will receive compared
to the amount of cash you will owe at a particular point in
time, as well as the annual percentage fee or annual percentage
rate of the lawsuit funding. You should never select a lawsuit
loan company based solely on a monthly rate because the rate
does not include the cost of upfront fees. See pre settlement
funding, lawsuit funding, lawsuit loan, Fred Coutts, Fredcoutts,

| Federal
Tort Claims Act |
A statute (1948)
which removed the power of the federal government to claim
immunity from a lawsuit for damages due to negligent or intentional
injury by a federal employee in the scope of his/her work
for the government. It also established a set of regulations
and format for making claims, giving jurisdiction to federal

| Fee
(Attorney) |
The payment for
legal services. It can take several forms (1) hourly charge,
(2) contingent fee (such as one-third of the gross recovery,
and nothing if there is no recovery) or (3) some mixture of
hourly and contingent fee. It is wise (and often mandatory)
for the attorney and the client to have a signed contract
for any extensive legal work, particularly in contingent fee
cases. Most attorneys keep records of time spent on cases
to justify fees (and keep track of when actions were taken),
even when the work is not on an hourly basis. Contingent fees
require limits (often one-third) to protect the unwary client.
Attorney fee disputes can be decided by arbitration, often
operated by the local bar association. Attorney fees are not
awarded to the winning party in a lawsuit except where there
is a provision in a contract for the fees or there is a statute
which provides for an award of fees in the particular type
of case. Lawsuit loan example: most pre settlement funding
companies will make a lawsuit loan only if the attorney fee
is a contingent fee so that the lawsuit loan company knows
that the plaintiff's attorney has the right incentive to win
the lawsuit. See lawsuit loan, pre settlement funding, attorney
fee, lawsuit funding and lawsuit cash advance. |
| Fee
(Lawsuit Funding) |
A charge for services
provided by a lawsuit loan company or lawsuit cash advance
company. Lawsuit loan example: when comparing pre settlement
funding companies, a plaintiff should make sure they know
if the pre settlement funding company charges fees such as
an application fee, processing fee, broker fee, attorney review
fee when determining the total cost of the lawsuit loan. See
lawsuit loan, pre settlement funding, lawsuit funding, fee
and lawsuit cash advance. |

the lawsuit loan. See pre settlement funding, broker fee,
application fee, lawsuit funding, lawsuit loan, attorney review
fee and lawsuit cash advance. |
| Fees
Deducted From Amount Financed |
Charges
for services provided by a lawsuit loan company subtracted
from the amount of cash that a plaintiff will receive from
a lawsuit loan. Lawsuit loan example: when comparing pre settlement
funding companies, a plaintiff should make sure ask the lawsuit
loan company what are the fees deducted from amount financed
(application fee, processing fee, broker fee, attorney review
fee, etc.) when determining the total cost of the lawsuit
loan. See lawsuit loan, pre settlement funding, lawsuit funding,
fee and lawsuit cash advance. |

Company that provides
lawsuit funding (also known as pre settlement funding) or
acts as a broker to companies that provide lawsuit funding
for plaintiffs through a lawsuit loan or lawsuit cash advance.
Before selecting a lawsuit funding company, it is important
to verify that the company makes the lawsuit funding itself
and is not a broker who will charge you a brokerage fee from
the cash of the funding. When selecting a lawsuit funding
company, you should also make sure the pre settlement funding
company publishes its pricing in a public place and that they
inform you of any upfront fees. You should compare pre settlement
funding companies by the amount of cash you will receive compared
to the amount of cash you will owe at a particular point in
time, as well as the annual percentage fee or annual percentage
rate of the lawsuit funding. You should never select a lawsuit
loan company based solely on a monthly rate because the rate
does not include the cost of upfront fees. See pre settlement
funding, lawsuit funding, broker, lawsuit loan and lawsuit
cash advance. |
