A car accident loan is quick and easy, apply today and you may be able to receive your money within 24 hours.

Were you injured in a car wreck in Texas? If so, you could be entitled to a cash settlement. The only problem is you may not receive that money right away. And if you were relying on the settlement to cover expenses like vehicle repairs, medical bills or lost wages, the wait could be even more problematic.

 

Believe it or not, there is good news—pre-settlement advances, also commonly known as “lawsuit loans” are at your disposal so you can manage financially until your lawsuit is settled or you’re able to get back to work.

Pre-settlement funding is a cash advance based on your car accident lawsuit. Although this funding is often referred to as a “lawsuit loan”, that wording is not accurate. Pre-settlement funding in Texas is a non-recourse advance; meaning if you were to lose your case, you would not have to pay back the money. If your pre-settlement advance were actually a loan, you would be responsible to pay it back no matter what.

Don't wait, Bridgeway can advance you part of your injury settlement today.

The annual vehicle miles traveled in Texas reached 282.037 billion in 2018—a 3.31% increase from the prior year. With so much road being traveled, the likelihood of Texas car crashes & wrecks increases too. That’s why it’s not surprising that there were more than 12,000 incidents involving serious injury in Texas for 2018 and almost 15,000 people sustained a serious injury as a result.

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

Bridgeway may be able to advance you 10-20% of your lawsuit settlement today.

This is a common question we get regarding pre-settlement funding in Texas. Our clients are usually eligible to receive 10 to 20% of their case’s estimated value.

 

Now you may wondering how we estimate the value of car accident claim, well we take three factors into consideration:

  1. Liability—in other words, who was at fault in the car accident? Sometimes that is easy to see—like when one car rear-ends the other. Less obvious cases like when a vehicle is sideswiped and either party could be at fault take a little longer to figure out.
  2. Damages—these could account for any necessary medical treatment, future medical expenses or lost wages. We calculate lost wages by multiplying how much work you missed by your current salary. Bridgeway Legal Funding will also determine if you can perform your work duties going forward, or if you have to leave your position.
  3. Insurance—in many cases you can only use for up to what insurance is available to you after an accident. Texas car insurance laws require drivers to have the following coverage to operate a vehicle:

Bodily injury liability coverage: $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident
Property damage liability coverage: $25,000 per accident
Uninsured motorist coverage: $30,000 per person and $60,000 per accident (unless you reject this coverage)
Uninsured Motorist Property Damage: $25,000 and a $250 deductible (unless you reject this coverage)
Personal Injury Protection (PIP): $2,500 (unless you reject this coverage)

 

Please note that these are the minimum required insurance coverage for Texas. However, if you feel the minimum isn’t enough coverage for you, you can buy more—the maximum amount of coverage you can purchase may vary by car insurance company. However, common maximum limits are:

• $250,000 for injuries per person

• $500,000 for injuries total, per accident

• $100,000 for property damage
