Pre-Settlement Funding for Police Misconduct and Civil Rights Cases
Pursuing a police misconduct or civil rights case? Green Street Funding offers non-recourse funding while it proceeds. Repay only if you recover money.
Excessive force, unlawful searches, and other abuses by police or corrections officers violate your civil rights. Federal law, including Section 1983, allows people to sue officials who violate their constitutional rights, and many states offer their own claims too.
Civil rights cases against cities and officers can be long and hard fought. Claims against a city, county, or state agency often require a notice of claim filed within a strict and short deadline, and missing it can end part of a case. Defendants may raise qualified immunity. Video, medical records, and witness accounts are critical.
How pre-settlement funding helps
Green Street Funding reviews civil rights cases with your attorney and may provide non-recourse funding while the case proceeds. You repay only from a recovery. If you lose, you owe nothing. Funding is subject to underwriting approval.
What we review
- What happened and any video evidence
- Whether a notice of claim was filed on time
- Injuries and medical treatment
- Any related criminal charges and their outcome
- The defendants: officers, agency, and municipality
Police Misconduct and Civil Rights: common questions
Can I get funding if criminal charges against me are pending?
It depends. Pending charges can affect a civil case. We review the situation with your attorney.
Why do civil rights cases take so long?
Government defendants, immunity defenses, and appeals can add time. Funding can ease the wait.
Is the city told about my funding?
We work with your attorney. The defendants are not part of your funding agreement.
