What Types of Personal Injury Cases Qualify?

ClaimBridge provides pre-settlement funding for personal injury cases in Florida. Not every case qualifies, and not every case type is the same from a funding perspective. This guide explains which cases we fund, what we look for, and how we evaluate your specific situation.

Motor Vehicle Accident Cases

Car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle crashes, rideshare accidents, and pedestrian collisions are our primary focus. Motor vehicle accidents (MVA) account for over half of all personal injury claims filed in the United States, and they're the most commonly funded case type in the litigation funding industry.

MVA cases are well-suited for funding because they typically have clear liability established by police reports and traffic laws, insurance coverage through the at-fault driver's policy, well-documented injuries through medical records, and relatively predictable settlement timelines.

If you were injured in a motor vehicle accident in Florida, have an attorney representing you, and your case has been filed, there's a strong chance you qualify for ClaimBridge funding.

Slip and Fall / Premises Liability

Injuries that occur on someone else's property such as a wet floor in a grocery store, a broken staircase in an apartment building, or a pothole in a parking lot can qualify for funding when liability is clear. These cases require showing that the property owner knew about the dangerous condition (or should have known), failed to fix it or warn visitors, and that the condition directly caused your injury.

Premises liability cases sometimes take longer to settle than motor vehicle cases because proving the property owner's knowledge of the hazard can be more complex. Our 24-month repayment cap is particularly valuable for these cases, since you're protected if the timeline stretches longer than expected.

Workplace Injury Cases (Third-Party Claims)

Standard workers' compensation claims typically don't qualify for pre-settlement funding because they're handled through a no-fault insurance system, not a lawsuit. However, if you were injured at work due to the negligence of someone other than your employer such as a subcontractor, an equipment manufacturer, or a property owner you may have a third-party personal injury claim that qualifies.

Other Cases We May Fund

While motor vehicle accidents and premises liability are our primary focus, we evaluate other personal injury case types on a case-by-case basis, including assault and battery claims where a third party is liable, dog bite cases, and wrongful death cases brought by surviving family members.

What We Look For When Evaluating Your Case

• Liability. Is it clear who is at fault? The stronger the evidence of the defendant's responsibility, the more confident we are in funding the case.
• Insurance coverage. Does the defendant have insurance or sufficient assets to pay a judgment?
• Attorney representation. You must have an attorney representing you. We work with your lawyer to verify case details and coordinate repayment from the settlement.
• Case status. Your case should be filed or in the process of being filed.
• Damages. Your injuries and losses need to be documented. Medical records, bills, police reports, and evidence of lost wages all strengthen your case for funding.
• Prior funding. If you've already received advances from other funding companies, we need to ensure there's enough remaining equity in your case to support an additional advance.

What Doesn't Qualify

We don't fund criminal cases, divorce or family law matters, workers' compensation claims (direct claims through your employer's insurance), class action claims where you're not the named plaintiff, or business-to-business contract disputes.

The Bottom Line

Motor vehicle accidents and personal injury cases with clear liability, documented injuries, insurance coverage, and attorney representation are the strongest candidates for ClaimBridge funding.
