Legal Question in Personal Injury in Virginia

settlement

Hi

I have a lawsuit in progress for a slip and fall accident that has been going on for 18 months and my lawyer is suppose to be waiting on the mediator to get out of the hospital so we can set up a meet with her.

My problem is my financial situation is at ropes end and I need money to survive now.

I looked into Lawleaf and it sounded pretty good to me but when I ask my lawyer about it he was all against it and said he would look into the company that his company dealt with and try to get me a 1.000 for now but wasn't sure I could get it on a slip and fall case.

We have a real good case in the slip and fall accident and I do mean pretty strong.

What would be the down-side to me to get this loan or the down-side for him not to go along with me on this? Something doesn't seem right to me and now out communication isn't very strong and that really concerns me also.

Lawleaf is the answer to my peoblem right now because of all my bills I have fallen behind on all my bills.

Thank you.

Bill

Re: settlement

As long as the lawsuit loan which Lawleaf may offer you is guaranteed to be what's called a "non-recourse loan", meaning that if you happen to lose your lawsuit, you don't have to pay back the loan, there should be no problem with it(in my opinion).

(Needless to say, however, a $1000 loan will obviously not sustain you for very long.)
