Civil Rights Lawsuit Funding
Civil rights claims — including claims involving excessive force or other alleged violations of constitutional rights — often proceed against a government entity or official and can involve a longer federal litigation timeline. Civil rights lawsuit funding is available to plaintiffs with a pending, represented claim of this kind.
Who May Qualify
Represented plaintiffs pursuing a civil rights claim in state or federal court, with documented facts supporting the alleged violation.
How Funding Works for This Case Type
Underwriting reviews the nature of the claim, the parties involved, and case stage with your attorney, given the distinct procedural rules that often apply to civil rights litigation.
What Information Is Needed
Attorney contact information, a summary of the alleged violation and parties involved, and the current stage of the litigation.
Attorney Involvement
Attorney confirmation of representation and case status is required given the specialized nature of civil rights claims.
Funding Considerations
Funding amounts reflect the estimated value and stage of your specific claim, which can vary based on the type of violation alleged.
Risks & Cost Considerations
Review how funding costs would apply given the potential timeline of your specific claim, which can extend longer than a typical personal injury case.
