Get Cash Now From Your Motorcycle Accident Case
What Is a Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit Loan?
A motorcycle accident lawsuit loan is a cash advance you receive while your motorcycle injury claim is still open. The advance is repaid only out of your eventual settlement or verdict. It is not a traditional loan, because nothing personal is on the hook. Your home, savings, credit, and paycheck stay untouched whether the case wins or loses.
You may also hear it called pre-settlement funding, a lawsuit cash advance, or legal funding. The name changes, the structure does not. The funder is repaid from the case proceeds, and only if there are proceeds. There are no monthly payments and no interest-bearing balance that grows whether you win or not.
Despite the name, it is not a loan in the way a bank means it. A bank loan is repaid no matter what. This is non-recourse legal funding, so the funder takes on all the risk, and if your case does not win, you owe nothing. Here is the practical difference:
| Feature | Pre-Settlement Funding | Traditional Loan |
|---|---|---|
| Credit check required | No | Yes |
| Monthly payments | None | Required |
| Repayment if you lose | $0 | Full balance still owed |
| Based on | Case strength | Credit and income |
| Risk to personal assets | None | Yes |
It works much like the other personal injury lawsuit loans we provide, with underwriting tuned to the specifics of motorcycle crash claims.
Why Motorcycle Cases Get Fought Harder Than Car Accidents
Motorcycle claims are not treated like ordinary car crashes, and that is the single biggest reason riders need funding. Insurers know that jurors carry a quiet bias against motorcyclists, so they fight liability harder and stall longer, betting that an injured rider with no income will give up and take a lowball offer. Three things in particular drag these cases out, and each one is a reason funding helps.
The Blame-the-Rider Bias
Many jurors assume a motorcyclist was speeding or reckless before they hear a word of evidence. Insurers lean on that stereotype to deny or underpay, even when a driver turned left across your path or never saw you. Beating that bias takes accident reconstruction and time.
The Comparative-Fault Defense
The defense tries to pin a share of blame on you to shrink the payout. Whether you wore a helmet, your lane position, your speed, and even loud pipes all get raised. In states that reduce your award by your percentage of fault, every point they win comes straight out of your settlement.
Catastrophic Injuries, Long Recovery
With no steel cage around you, motorcycle crashes cause severe injuries, including traumatic brain injury, road rash, multiple fractures, and amputations. The full value of a case like that is not clear until you reach maximum medical improvement, which can take a year or more, so the claim cannot settle fairly early.
Add it up and a strong motorcycle case can sit unsettled for a year or two while the bills pile up. That is exactly when a rider feels pressured to grab the first offer. Pre-settlement funding takes that pressure off so your attorney can fight the bias and hold out for what the case is really worth.
Motorcycle Accident Cases We Fund
If another driver’s negligence put you on the pavement, your claim may qualify. These are the motorcycle crash cases we fund most often.
Left-Turn Collisions
A driver turns left across your lane and claims they never saw you. This is the most common and most dangerous motorcycle crash, and liability usually rests with the turning driver.
Rear-End & Following Too Close
A car hits you from behind at a stop or in slow traffic. Even a low-speed rear-end can throw a rider and cause spinal, neck, and head injuries far worse than a fender bender in a car.
Lane-Change & Blind-Spot Crashes
A driver merges or changes lanes into a rider they failed to check for. These cases turn on visibility and right of way, and the driver’s insurer often tries to blame the rider’s lane position.
Road Hazards & Defective Roads
Potholes, unmarked construction zones, gravel, or poor road design that throws a rider. These claims can run against a municipality or contractor and often carry strict notice deadlines.
Defective Motorcycle or Parts
A faulty brake, tire, or steering component that fails and causes a crash. Product liability claims against a manufacturer can be high value but tend to take longer to develop.
Hit-and-Run & Uninsured Drivers
A driver flees the scene or carries no coverage. These claims often run through your own uninsured or underinsured motorist policy, and that fight with your insurer can drag on for months.
We also fund wrongful death claims after a fatal motorcycle crash, brought by the rider’s family. If your situation is not listed, you may still qualify, so apply and we will review it.
Who Qualifies for Motorcycle Accident Funding?
- You are the plaintiff in an active personal injury or wrongful death claim from a motorcycle crash that was not your fault.
- You are represented by a contingency-fee attorney. We coordinate the whole transaction with your law firm, so we cannot fund a case until you have hired a lawyer.
- There is insurance coverage or a solvent defendant to recover from, whether the at-fault driver’s policy or your own uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage.
- You are 18 or older and a resident of the United States.
You do not need good credit, proof of income, a co-signer, or money for an application fee. Bad credit, no credit, or a past bankruptcy do not affect approval, because the case is the only thing we underwrite.

- Apply online or by phone. Fill out our short application with basic case information, or call 888-335-3537 to apply over the phone. It takes a few minutes.
- We review your case with your attorney. Your attorney provides the police report, the complaint, and medical records, and we evaluate the strength of your claim and its likely settlement value. This usually takes 24 to 48 hours.

- Repay only if you win. If your case settles or wins at trial, repayment comes from the proceeds. If you lose, you owe nothing. The risk is entirely ours.

Motorcycle Accident Lawsuit Loan FAQs
Are motorcycle accident lawsuit loans real loans?
No. These are non-recourse advances, not traditional loans. You owe nothing if your case loses, and repayment only happens if you win or settle. There are no monthly payments and no interest-bearing balance. Learn more in our settlement funding FAQs.
Can I still get funded if the insurer says the crash was partly my fault?
Often, yes. Insurers raise comparative fault on almost every motorcycle claim, so a disputed-fault argument by itself does not disqualify you. We look at the full picture with your attorney, including the police report and the evidence on liability. A shared-fault question may lower the amount we can advance, but many of these cases are still fundable.
What if I was not wearing a helmet?
It depends on your state and your injuries. Helmet rules and how a missing helmet affects a claim vary widely, and in many situations it only matters for head injuries, not for broken bones or other harm. Your attorney is the right person to assess how it affects your case. It does not automatically rule out funding, so it is worth applying and letting us review it.
Do I need an attorney to apply?
Yes. You must have an attorney handling your motorcycle accident claim on a contingency-fee basis. We work directly with your legal team to review the case details and handle the paperwork, so the funding fits properly into your case.
What if I lose my case?
You repay nothing. The funder absorbs the entire loss. That is what makes this non-recourse: the financial risk is entirely ours, not yours.
How much can I get, and how long do these cases take?
Amounts vary by case value and stage, usually kept at or below 10% to 20% of your expected net settlement. Some riders take a few thousand dollars for immediate needs; others qualify for much larger advances on serious cases. Because motorcycle cases often take a year or more, many plaintiffs take a smaller draw now and request more later, which keeps total fees lower.
Does taking funding affect my settlement amount?
No. Your attorney negotiates your settlement, and funders play no part in those discussions or decisions. The settlement is yours. Repayment simply comes out of the proceeds after you receive them.
What can I use the money for?
Anything you need. There are no restrictions. Most riders use it for medical care and rehabilitation, prescriptions, a replacement vehicle, rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, transportation, and other everyday bills while the case is pending.
