Attorney contact
Law firm name, attorney or case manager name, phone number, email, and best contact method are often the most important starting details.
Funding review
Documents needed for lawsuit funding review
Use this checklist to prepare attorney information, accident records, medical documents, insurance details, lien information, prior funding records, and settlement papers before requesting pre-settlement funding review.
Why documents matter before a funding decision
Lawsuit funding review depends on the pending legal claim, not just the applicant's need for money. Documents help the reviewer understand what happened, who may be responsible, whether an attorney is handling the claim, what insurance or recovery source may exist, how treatment is progressing, and whether liens or prior advances reduce the expected net recovery.
Applicants do not always need every document before starting, but missing attorney contact information, unclear case facts, no treatment summary, or undisclosed prior funding can slow the file. A complete request gives the funding specialist and attorney fewer loose ends to chase.
Case basics
Incident date, case type, location, claim number, defendant or insurer if known, and current stage of the claim help identify the file.
Medical and damages proof
Treatment records, bills, surgery notes, therapy status, lost-work information, and future-care details may help explain damages.
Settlement and lien details
Demand letters, offers, liens, prior funding contracts, payoff statements, and reimbursement claims can affect the amount available.
Important
Funding is subject to case review
CasePayNow does not guarantee approval, settlement results, funding amounts, or timing. Each request depends on the facts of the case, state availability, attorney cooperation, signed agreement terms, and final approval.
Documents that can speed up review
Applicants should be ready to provide attorney contact information, law firm name, accident date, case type, insurance details if known, treatment summary, lien or prior funding details, requested funding amount, and a short explanation of the current case status.
- Full name, phone, email, and state where the case happened
- Attorney name, law firm name, and attorney phone or email
- Case type, accident date, injury summary, and treatment status
- Prior funding information, if any
- Requested amount and best time to call or text
FAQ
Questions about lawsuit funding documents
Can I start a funding review without every document?
Often yes. Attorney contact information, case type, incident date, treatment summary, requested amount, and prior funding details may be enough to start, but more documents may be requested before final approval.
What is the most important document for lawsuit funding?
There is not one universal document. Attorney verification is often the key step, supported by incident reports, medical records, insurance information, lien details, and settlement documents when available.
Should I disclose prior funding or liens?
Yes. Prior funding, medical liens, Medicare or Medicaid issues, health insurance reimbursement, and attorney fees can affect expected net recovery and should be disclosed early.
Do documents guarantee approval?
No. Documents can speed review, but approval, timing, amount, fees, and terms depend on case facts, attorney cooperation, provider requirements, state availability, signed terms, and final approval.
Document checklist
Documents to gather by claim type
Different cases require different proof. Use the examples below to organize the strongest file you can before attorney verification.
Car accident claims
Police or crash report, insurance claim number, photos, repair estimate, treatment summary, ambulance or ER records, and attorney contact information.
Slip and fall claims
Incident report, photos of the hazard, witness names, property location, treatment records, insurance letters, and attorney notes about notice or liability.
Medical malpractice claims
Medical records, provider names, expert-review status, procedure or diagnosis timeline, damages summary, and attorney explanation of liability and causation issues.
Workplace or construction claims
Incident report, employer or site information, third-party defendant details, workers compensation status, medical records, and any OSHA or safety documentation if available.
Information your attorney may be asked to verify
The attorney may be asked to confirm representation, case type, incident date, liability status, insurance or recovery source, treatment status, liens, prior funding, settlement posture, and whether a funding agreement can be acknowledged. If the attorney cannot verify the file, a provider may pause, reduce, or decline the request.
If you changed attorneys, received prior funding, have medical liens, have a Medicare or Medicaid issue, or already received a settlement offer, disclose that early. These details do not automatically stop review, but hiding them can create delays when the law firm responds with different information.
What you may not need right away
Applicants sometimes wait because they do not have every record. In many cases, you can still start with your attorney contact information, case type, incident date, treatment summary, and requested amount. The funding specialist may then explain which documents are truly needed for the next step.
Approval, timing, amount, fees, and repayment language are never guaranteed from documents alone. The final decision depends on case facts, attorney cooperation, provider requirements, state availability, signed agreement terms, and final approval.

Funding claims depend on the final review
Approval is not guaranteed. Funding amounts, timing, fees, state availability, attorney participation, repayment language, and whether funding is non-recourse depend on the case facts, provider review, signed agreement terms, and final approval. Traditional credit and employment are generally not the main review factors, but provider requirements can vary.
