You've seen the commercial. You know, the companies that just want to help you. In reality, these lenders are buying personal injury awards. Sometimes they buy the stream of payments you've negotiated, and sometimes, more alarmingly, before you've even received an award.
Before you even think about selling your award, read this article from the NY Times.
These companies may serve a need, just as title loan companies and payday lenders. But if you have a personal injury settlement, whether its simple dog bite, an auto accident or a wrongful death, you need to talk to an experienced attorney about the value of your case and the risks of doing business with these lenders.
Most personal injury lawyers in Oregon will offer a free consultation. So take advantage of it.

You should really consult your lawyers about decisions like these. The damages that may have been inflicted on you may be much graver than the equivalent amount that these lenders will give.

Sometimes the purchasing power of payments you have negotiated, and sometimes more alarming, until you have received a reward.
