Settlement Loans
Need Cash Before Your Settlement?
Personal injury litigation can take much longer than most people appreciate. We realize that as you await a settlement, your bills continue to pile up.
A settlement loan from Easy Legal Finance can help bridge the financial gap while your lawyer fights to ensure you obtain a fair settlement.
You are eligible to apply for a settlement loan if you have hired a lawyer and have an active personal injury claim, including:
- Slip and Fall
- Motor Vehicle Accident
- Short‐term and Long‐term Disability

Settlement Loans
Our Loans
We speak with your lawyer and review your case to assess your application. Our client service team can recommend a settlement loan solution that best meets your needs.
Lump-Sum Loan
Our Lump-Sum Loan solution allows you to access the full loan amount, for payment at one time. There is no maximum amount, but we do encourage clients to only borrow what they need.
Facility Loan
Our Facility Loan solution acts as a line of credit where interest only accrues on the amount advanced. We’ll approve the loan amount, allowing you to withdraw funds as needed. You may also choose to set up a monthly schedule for budgeting purposes.
Treatment Loan
Our Treatment Loan solution allows you to focus on your health and wellness while we handle the administrative and economic burdens resulting from your injuries. This solution acts as a line of credit where interest only accrues on the bills we pay on your behalf, which are sent to the Treatment Providers you are working with, to support your recovery.

Structured settlements were introduced by the Government of Canada, to invest settlement monies on behalf of those made vulnerable by injuries, in something that is not likely to be lost prematurely.
These settlements are available, upon the consent of the casualty insurance company or by court order, and are purchased by the casualty insurance company on behalf of the claimant. They are only available at the time of settlement. As they are non-assignable, non-commutable and non-transferable by law, Easy LegalFinancing cannot loan against these investments.
