Childcare During Personal Injury Recovery
• 2 min read
Parents recovering from injuries often need extra childcare. Funding helps cover the cost.
Parents with young children who suffer injuries face an immediate childcare problem: how to provide care while recovering, attending appointments, and (often) without income.
Friends and family can help in the short term, but extended recovery periods often require paid childcare — adding several hundred to several thousand dollars per month to the budget.
Pre-settlement funding can cover childcare costs during recovery so you can focus on healing rather than juggling care.
Childcare costs related to your injury are also compensable in the underlying case, so funding doesn't reduce your net recovery.
AARC funds qualifying cases with no credit check and no monthly payments.

Frequently asked questions
- What can I spend the advance on?
- There are no restrictions. Claimants commonly use funds for rent, groceries, utilities, transportation, childcare, and medical co-pays while their case is pending.
- Is a pre-settlement cash advance a loan?
- No. It is non-recourse funding tied to your personal injury claim. There are no monthly payments, and if your case does not recover, you owe nothing.
- Do I need good credit or a job to qualify?
- No. AARC does not run a credit check and does not require employment or income verification. Approval is based on the strength of your claim and your attorney's representation.
- How fast can I get funded?
- Most approved applicants receive funds in as little as 24 hours once AARC has the case documents from your attorney.
- How much does it cost?
- AARC uses a flat fee rather than compounding monthly interest. Typical advances are $500, $750, or $1,000, and the illustrative payoff at settlement is 2x the advance amount.
