About AI Litigation

AI litigation is still young. Courts are working through questions that did not exist a few years ago: who is liable when a model produces defamatory content, whether scraping someone’s face or voice to train a system violates their rights, and how existing privacy and consumer protection laws apply to automated decision-making. A handful of state biometric privacy laws, most notably Illinois’ BIPA, have already produced large settlements, and more states are passing their own AI-specific statutes every year.

Because the law is still catching up to the technology, no two AI cases look alike. Some are individual claims over a deepfake or a stolen likeness. Others are class actions against companies that trained models on people’s data without consent. What they tend to have in common is a plaintiff who is right, an attorney who is committed to the fight, and a case that will take time to pay out.

What Kinds of AI Claims Might Qualify

There is no single “AI lawsuit.” Depending on the facts, a case might fall into one of several categories, including:

• Unauthorized use of your image, voice, likeness, or identity by an AI system or product
• Deepfakes or AI-generated impersonation that caused real, provable harm
• Collection or misuse of biometric data, such as facial or voiceprint scans, without consent
• Automated decisions in hiring, lending, insurance, or housing that allegedly discriminated against you
• AI-generated content that infringed on copyrighted writing, art, photography, or music
• Defamation or false statements generated or spread by an AI system
• Other privacy or consumer-protection claims where AI played a central role

Having an AI system involved somewhere in the story does not automatically mean you have a lawsuit worth funding. You need an active legal claim, an attorney already representing you, and a case with real settlement or verdict potential.

Do I Need an Attorney to Apply?

Yes. Verum Funding works with plaintiffs who already have legal representation. You do not need your attorney to fill out the application, but they will need to talk with us and share basic case information so we can evaluate it.

If you think you might have an AI-related claim but have not spoken with a lawyer yet, that is the first step, not funding. Find an attorney, get your case evaluated, and come back to us once it is underway.

How AI Lawsuit Funding Works

1. Apply

Fill out the short application on this page or call us directly. Let us know your case involves an AI-related claim and give us your attorney’s contact information.

2. We Talk to Your Attorney

With your permission, we reach out to your attorney or law firm to get the details we need, current status, potential recovery, any liens, and how the case is progressing.

3. We Review the Case

Our underwriting team looks at the strength of the claim, where it stands, and what a realistic outcome might look like. This step usually takes a matter of days.

4. You Get an Offer

If your case qualifies, we send over a funding offer and agreement to review at your own pace. There is no obligation to accept.

5. You Get Paid, and Repay From Your Recovery

Once you sign, funds are typically sent within a day or two. Repayment comes out of your settlement or judgment, if and when you win. If you do not recover anything, you owe us nothing.

Your Credit Score Will Not Decide This

We are not a bank, and we do not underwrite like one. Your credit history, employment status, and income do not factor into whether you qualify. What matters is the strength of your legal claim and your attorney’s assessment of it.

How Much Funding Can I Get?

There is no set number. The amount depends on how strong the claim is, how far along the case is, the likely settlement or verdict range, attorney fees, any liens or prior advances against the case, and how much can reasonably be repaid without taking an unfair cut of your eventual recovery. Our goal is to get you what you need now without shrinking your payout later more than necessary.

Is AI Lawsuit Funding Available in My State?

Legal funding is regulated differently from state to state, and a few states currently limit or restrict this type of funding altogether. Because the rules vary and change, we review eligibility case by case rather than publishing a fixed list. Reach out with your state and case details, and we will tell you right away whether we can fund it and what the terms would look like where you live.

Why Plaintiffs Work With Verum Funding

AI litigation is new enough that a lot of funding companies will not touch it yet. We would rather learn a new area of law alongside good attorneys now than show up once it is already crowded. If you are waiting on an AI-related case and the financial pressure is real, talk to us. We will give you a straight answer, not a runaround.
