Car accident loans are available in Oklahoma, Apply Today.

Getting into a car accident can be a major inconvenience. Your car is likely damaged in some way, meaning it will be in the shop for a period of time. You will also have to take time out of your day to file a car insurance claim and maybe even have to deal with the other party’s insurance company.

And if you were injured in that accident? That could lead to another round of inconveniences. Car accident-related injuries, depending on the severity, could impact your daily life—especially from a financial standpoint.

The good news is you could be entitled to a cash settlement if you've been injured in a car accident in Oklahoma. The bad news is it could be some time before you receive your payment. What if you don’t have money set aside for an unforeseen situation like this? You’ll need that settlement as soon as possible to help pay for medical expenses, car repairs or to make up for any lost salary from having to miss work.

 

Fortunately, there are ways to access the funds you need faster—with what’s known as a pre-settlement advance, or a "lawsuit loan". The advances serve as a financial resource to help keep you afloat until you can return to work or your lawsuit is resolved.

What is a pre-settlement advance?

Pre-settlement funding is a cash advance against your pending car accident case or lawsuit. This is not a loan, but rather a non-recourse advance. You would not have to repay the advance if your case is unsuccessful for any reason.

More than 30,000 people were injured in car accidents in Oklahoma in 2021—a 10 percent increase from the year before. The number of car accidents (66,074) in Oklahoma in 2021 also increased from the year before (7 percent), as did the amount of accidents per day (181).  

The increase in Oklahoma car accidents is coupled with an increase in registered drivers in the state. Between 2015 and 2020, the number of registered vehicles in Oklahoma went up almost 25 percent. 

The combination of increased car crash totals and more cars on the road could increase the odds of you getting into an accident. If that day comes, it’s good to have access to financial assistance if you’re injured.

 

Pre-settlement funding is quick and easy, also you only have to pay back the money you borrow if you win your case.

If you’re entitled to a settlement after being in a car accident in Oklahoma, you might have to wait one to three years for your money. Yes, it can actually take that long.

A pre-settlement advance can protect you from accepting an offer that’s well below your case’s value. These advances can also help level the playing field against large car insurance companies that have virtually unlimited resources.

How much can I borrow with a pre-settlement advance?

We typically will advance our clients up 10 to 20% of their case’s value. We base the case’s value on three key factors:

• Liability—Who was at fault in the accident? For example, if another driver rear ends your vehicle, they would be considered liable for any damages. Sometimes these cases aren’t as clear, such as a side swipe incident, and each driver might share some fault.

• Damages—How much money will be awarded following the accident cost between injuries and lost wages? Some of the factors calculated to determine total damages include:

         • Medical expenses and treatments (current and future)

         • Lost wages (determined by how much work you missed times your current wage)

         • Future work status (can you still work at all and/or preform your pre-accident duties)

• Insurance—You can typically use the amount of insurance coverage available at the time of the accident. Drivers are required to carry at least the following amount of car insurance in Oklahoma:

         • Bodily injury liability: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident

         • Property damage liability: $25,000 per accident

Remember, these are minimum car insurance requirements for Oklahoma drivers. Chances are the person you get into an accident with has additional coverage.
