When serious injury cases involving brain injuries, amputations or spinal surgeries go to trial, the costs of the injury attorney to put on the case can often approach $200,000 or more.

Most of the time, the attorney handling the case will borrow the cost money from a bank and repay the bank at the end of a case.

Clearly, banks will not lend this kind of money to attorney’s who do not have a good track record of trying/settling large cases and almost always require the borrowing attorney to have a great FICO score.

If an attorney does not have a great FICO score, it will be unlikely that he or she will be able to borrow funds, resulting in a much compromised and underfunded presentation of the case.
