Your attorney is allowed to and normally will advance case costs, which may include related medical expenses as well as court costs and other incurred expenses. Your attorney is not a bank, however, and is not allowed to loan you money except under extraordinary circumstances and subject to a number of conditions. An attorney is not allowed even to discuss with you the possibility of financial assistance until after you’ve signed up.
How do I support myself financially if I am hurt? Can my attorney loan me money?
