MEDICAL FUNDING ON LIEN
We facilitate quality medical care with providers in the Northern California area. Whether you are needing consults and evaluations, pain management or surgeries, we can help fund the care that is needed
PRE-SETTLEMENT CASH ADVANCES
We offer pre-settlement cash advances to help cover basic living expenses during the course of your case. These are non-recourse which means if you don't win your case, we don't collect. With no upfront fees or monthly payments, you can focus on winning your case and recovering from injuries
ATTORNEY FUNDING
Don't let lack of funds keep you from winning a case. Attorney funding can help pay for court related costs, expert funding and anything else to help win your clients case
HOW WE'RE DIFFERENT
Creative Legal Funding was founded by a former accident victim who understands, firsthand, what clients face on the road to recovery. That perspective shapes how we underwrite every case — with urgency, and with the client's actual needs in view.
We know the service we provide directly affects a client's confidence in their case — so we hold ourselves to a higher standard than the rest of the industry. We are truly your partner from beginning of case to the very end.
OUR APPROACH
Creative Legal Funding works to facilitate medical care for injured clients that possess little to no health coverage. Once our intake process is completed, our team will begin working with medical providers to get you scheduled for consults, pain injections and if needed, surgeries.
We do not have any involvement in the care and treatment direction of your case but are simply the go between with the provider office and law firm to schedule and obtain billing. If experiencing significant financial strain, we offer pre-settlement cash advances that can help cover living expenses while unable to work due to your injury.
How We Began
Creative Legal Funding was launched in 2008 after our founder was involved in a major auto accident where he suffered extensive injuries that required multiple surgeries. Despite possessing health insurance, he was left with out of pocket expenses that reached the five-figure level over his three year case period. After his experience, he knew there had to be a better way for personal injury victims so he began reaching out to attorneys and medical providers and Creative Legal Funding was the result. Over these 10 years, our team has worked endlessly to build a network of providers in the Northern California area your clients can rely on for quality care.
