Legal Funding Isn’t a Loan — It’s a Lifeline: How One Crash Survivor Took Back Control

What Happens When the Settlement Process Outlasts Your Savings?

Brandon Martinez had his whole summer planned. A road trip with friends, a promotion at work, and finally, a few months without financial stress. That all changed when a delivery van ran a stop sign and sent his car careening into a ditch. The accident totaled his vehicle and left him with a torn ACL, fractured pelvis, and a six-month recovery timeline. Suddenly, Brandon was out of work, out of options — and worse, out of time.

Like many injury victims, he assumed the at-fault driver’s insurance would “handle it.” But after hiring a lawyer and beginning the legal process, he realized just how slow settlements can move — and how quickly financial pressure sets in.

The Truth About Lawsuit Delays (and Why Insurance Companies Stall)

Insurance companies often play a waiting game. They know you’re hurting — not just physically, but financially. Their strategy is simple: delay long enough, and most victims will settle for far less just to keep the lights on.

Brandon’s case was textbook:

Clear liability on the part of the delivery driver

Extensive medical documentation

No criminal charges, no complications

And yet… the claim was still in limbo five months later. Meanwhile, Brandon was behind on rent, struggling to afford groceries, and facing potential eviction. With no job income and no settlement in sight, he needed help — but he didn’t want to take out a loan and get trapped in debt.

What Is Legal Funding — And Why It’s Not a Loan

That’s when Brandon’s attorney referred him to Suncoast Legal Funding. Like most people, he had never heard of pre-settlement funding. It’s a cash advance — not a loan — based on the strength of your lawsuit.

Here’s how it works:

• You apply online or by phone at (844)-SUNNY-4-U

  
  

• Your case is reviewed by our team alongside your attorney

  
  

• If approved, you get money in as little as 24 hours

  
  

• You only repay if your case wins — if not, you owe nothing

This is what makes legal funding non-recourse — there’s no personal guarantee, no credit risk, and no repayment out of your pocket. Your case pays us back — not you.

Brandon’s Experience: A Real-Life Rescue

Suncoast approved Brandon for a $3,000 advance within a day. It was enough to cover two months of rent, utilities, and groceries. That financial breathing room gave him the chance to focus on physical therapy, recover emotionally, and — most importantly — give his attorney the time to negotiate a fair settlement.

Six months later, Brandon’s case settled for nearly triple the insurance company’s original offer. And he repaid Suncoast Legal Funding straight from the settlement — no stress, no hidden fees, no regrets.

When Legal Funding Makes the Difference Between Surviving and Thriving

There are hundreds of Brandons out there. If you're waiting on an accident settlement, struggling to make ends meet, and wondering how long you can hold out, don’t wait until it’s too late. Pre-settlement funding can give you back control.

Instead of being forced into a quick, unfair settlement just to avoid bankruptcy, you can take your time and let justice work. Unlike bank loans or credit cards, there are:

• No employment checks

  
  

• No credit score requirements

  
  

• No monthly payments

  
  

• No repayment if you lose your case
