How is Peachtree able to offer LOW COST personal injury cash advances?
Peachtree is a specialty factoring firm that assists ordinary people
in achieving their financial goals. We are not brokers nor do we use
brokers. There are no broker fees or consultant fees, which
translates into lower costs.
What documents does Peachtree require from my client's file?
Usually, we request a copy of the Plaintiff's Complaint, the
Defendant's Answer, Police or incident reports, a list of medical
bills incurred and a copy of relevant medical records (i.e. Surgery
reports, MRI reports, etc.) We will never request documents or
information that is subject to the attorney-client privilege.
What if my client needs additional assistance at a later date?
Peachtree will further evaluate you client's case at that time and in
most cases will advance additional funds. However, the total amount
advanced will not exceed 15%-20% of your client's expected
recovery, after fees.
Are there any upfront fees?
No, applying is free. Your client pays nothing until after the case
settles.
Are there any additional fees or costs?
No, Peachtree charges a $250 document preparation fee and 10%,
non-compounding, for each six (6) months or portion thereof. There
are no other fees or costs.
How much assistance can my client receive?
To ensure that the financial assistance provided by Peachtree will
not hinder your ability to negotiate settlement, Peachtree will not
advance more than 15%-20% of your client's expected recovery,
after fees.
Does Peachtree get involved with the handling of my client's case?
No, you and your client retain complete control of the litigation.
Is this a loan?
No, it is the sale of a portion of the potential proceeds of the
lawsuit. Unlike a loan, if the case is unsuccessful, your client does
not have to pay back the advance or any fees.
Will the attorney be required to sign any documents?
Yes, the attorney signs the “Acknowledgement by Counsel”. The
attorney acknowledges the assignment of a portion of the proceeds
and agrees to pay the amount due from the settlement proceeds to
Peachtree upon settlement of the case.
Must a lawsuit be filed in order to get an advance?
No, in exceptional situations, we may provide an advance
if there is sufficient information and documentation to allow us to
evaluate the claim.
