You would need to make a claim against the defendant's estate if there is one. You should seek legal advice of an attorney if the claim is substantial. An attorney can have an asset check performed to see it the defendant owned any property.

A lawsuit loan is considered a cash advance on a pending or settled lawsuit.Plaintiffs have a number of reasons why they seek a lawsuit loan, primarily because their finances are falling short due to the length and long process of a lawsuit.
