What is medical funding for personal injury cases?

Medical funding (sometimes called medical liens or treatment financing) involves companies that pay for your accident-related medical treatment upfront in exchange for repayment from your settlement. Unlike lawsuit loans, medical funding specifically covers treatment costs. These arrangements can help you access necessary care if you lack insurance or need treatment your insurance won't cover. However, medical funding companies typically charge higher rates than insured treatment would cost. At Kane Trial Law, we evaluate whether medical funding makes sense for each client's situation and can recommend reputable providers when appropriate.
