Testimonials

"Over the years, BridgePoint has been a valuable resource for our firm to assist those clients who are facing the serious financial pressures that can accompany personal injury litigation. Their process is efficient and most importantly we can trust that their lending decisions make sense relative to our clients' future recoveries. If a client has exhausted his/her more traditional alternatives and is in financial need I would certainly recommend their services."

"BridgePoint has assisted a number of our firm's clients over the years who found themselves in difficult financial situations during the course of their litigation. A decision to borrow funds against their future settlement proceeds is one we urge our clients make with caution and only after exploring alternatives. Once a decision has been made to borrow, we fully trust the team at BridgePoint to take care in ensuring that any financing solution they offer is appropriate in relation to both our client's needs and the value of the underlying claim."

"Out of a duty of care for my clients, I have researched all of the litigation lending alternatives and BridgePoint offers the most affordable service by a significant margin... I know from a bad experience what a headache it is to settle a claim when a client has borrowed too much against their claim, and I appreciate the care taken by your team to avoid such scenarios."

“Bridgepoint was my saving grace, not only did they pull me out of a hole, they helped to make sure I didn't fall back in. Their service was fast, friendly and effective! Thank you so much everyone on the Bridgepoint team!”

"We received excellent and professional service from BridgePoint Financial during our time of need."

"When I came into a difficult financial situation, BridgePoint gave me the help I needed, when I needed it."

“Thank you so very much for helping me bridge these many difficult months between my loss and eventual settlement, effortlessly, quickly and with the greatest of convenience. I'm not sure how I could have otherwise managed to keep myself and family afloat and we are all very grateful.”

“BridgePoint was there for me when I needed them.”

“BridgePoint helped to ensure that we can have hydro and pay our house insurance. My husband and I have lost so much due to this claim. It is nice to know there are people like you who are willing to give a hand when it's needed. Thank you again for making this Christmas season a little brighter.”

“BridgePoint came into my life when I thought there was no financial alternative other than to declare bankruptcy. You appeared as a light of hope in the darkest part of what my family and I have been going through as a result of my injuries. There are no words to express my thankfulness to BridgePoint, and on behalf of my family I would like to simply say thank you for being there when I thought everything was lost.”

“Bridgepoint understood the urgency of my loan and acted very quickly to process my application. The staff I worked with went beyond call of duty. Processed my application at the highest priority even worked on my application after hours. I received the funds in less than 48 hours ... Amazing! Thanks again BridgePoint. You guys rock!”

"My client received a loan of $5,000 from you, and she then borrowed $5,000 from another lender. BridgePoint's interest was under $700. For less time on the same amount, the interest was over $1,600 from the other lender... more than double BridgePoint! Your company has been telling me for years that you are different and now I'm certain of it!"

“At a time when my family was very vulnerable, I turned to BridgePoint Financial. The staff were very helpful with assessing our needs and provided us with funding options that had our best interest at heart. Courtesy, respect, and professionalism was the tone throughout the entire process, and the process itself was brief and seamless. BridgePoint relieved the anxiety and stress of a very difficult situation, and provided the resources we needed to weather the storm successfully. Thanks.”

“I was hit by a car while cycling and in the hospital for five weeks with multiple skull fractures. I was unable to work, my life was very stressful, my finances were gone and BrigePoint saved the day! I'm thankful that they relieved my financial stress and allowed me to be a little more positive in my recovery. Thanks again.”

"Not all litigation lending companies are alike as we have discovered. We only trust BridgePoint to look after our clients' pre-settlement financing needs. We value the extra steps they take to ensure their loans are appropriate to each clients' circumstances, and proportionate to the claim value and stage of litigation."

“After my accident, I had enough things to worry about. The added stress of monthly bill payments without an income would have surely been an obstacle to my healing. The people at Bridgepoint Financial were very understanding and quickly provided me with the relief that I needed. I can now concentrate on getting my life back on track and highly recommend their services to anyone in a similar position.”

“Thank you BridgePoint. Aside from the damage caused by the accident and resulting permanent injuries, the damage caused by the stress of learning to cope with these injuries and the changed reality of now not being able to work at a job that I loved, the stress of trying to pay bills and make ends meet on severely curtailed income, a disappeared investment account and continued stalling by the defendant insurance company was close to overwhelming. BridgePoint changed all that. Now I have breathing space and the much-needed funds to carry on with my life. Thank you BridgePoint!”

“I was involved in a motor vehicle accident in which I broke my hip, my knee, and shattered my femur. I quickly went through my med/rehab insurance benefits within one year and could not continue the necessary rehab or buy the equipment I so desperately needed. My lawyer had me had me look into BridgePoint. The amazing people that I dealt with were so helpful that words do not describe it. They were very pleasant, caring, and understanding to the situation I was in. The whole process was as quick as they said it would be online, and was handled with the utmost professionalism and respect. I would recommend BridgePoint to anyone who is in this kind of situation without a doubt. They are very fair, and very committed to helping those in need. From the bottom of my heart, I would like to truly thank BridgePoint Financial for relieving the stress that has been put on my shoulders.”

“BridgePoint was approached by Findlay Law in Hamilton to obtain a treatment credit line to finance the ongoing costs of care of their client CC, who had suffered numerous fractures, brain injury and psychological trauma in a head-on MVC. The SABS non-catastrophic funding was exhausted in the first year for both medical and rehabilitation benefits and attendant care, but the GCS and the length of time following injury did not permit a CAT application to be made at that time. After an advance of ~$52,000 from the tort insurer had been used to fund ongoing treatment needs, the tort insurer refused to advance any more money. BridgePoint provided $45,000 to cover further costs incurred. As a result of the BridgePoint funding, the client was able to continue making progress, complete a college diploma in recreation therapy and is now working part-time.”

"During this long journey from a devastating car accident, three operations to repair damage and long hours spent reflecting on a life once filled with activity and adventure, it all boiled down to asking for help. Always being someone who was very capable of making my own way through life it has been challenging not being able to work for almost three years. I have been comforted by the professionals at BridgePoint. I appreciate everything you've done for me - thank you BridgePoint."

“My wife and I were involved in a motor vehicle accident, and my wife's injuries left her immobile. As a result, I had to stop working to look after her. Our insurance benefits helped with some financial obligations, but we still fell short financially each month and the banks and trust companies would not help us in our situation. That is when a friend connected us with BridgePoint Financial. We would like to thank you for everything you have done for us. If not for your help, we would be in a very bad situation.”

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your staff at BridgePoint for helping me with my financial difficulty. I was collecting disability insurance benefits for nearly three years until the insurance company decided it was time for me to return to work despite medical opinions saying otherwise. I was promptly cut off benefits at that point. It could take years to finalize a settlement through litigation. Meanwhile money was running out and depression was setting in. I contacted BridgePoint and felt warmth, respect and understanding from everybody that I dealt with. Once I received the loan from BridgePoint I felt a tremendous sense of relief, thankfully there exists a company like yours that helps people like me."

“One of the worst experiences in life is to be deprived of your future, health, employment and savings through no fault of your own. The motor insurance system in British Columbia is so fatally flawed that motor accident victims - those whom police and witnesses judge to have zero fault or liability in the accident - will normally find themselves in this predicament within a year of their lives being totally disrupted. BridgePoint made the borrowing process as painless as possible. They were quick to respond, flexible, professional and very pleasant to do business with. I am grateful they are there as a final line of defense against a flawed system."

“I am taking this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation for the superb service your organization provided. Wrongfully dismissed by an uncaring employer, I was in desperate need of financial assistance in these difficult economic times. Your firm not only assisted in directing me to a competent barrister, who acknowledged the injustice done to me, but provided the financial assistance required to seek appropriate relief in the courts without the burden of having to settle because of a lack of economic resources. Truly, BridgePoint offers the wronged an opportunity to protect themselves from the injustices imposed from a lack of cash. Your service is a powerful tool in the Canadian justice system.”

“BridgePoint stepped up and made resources available to me and my family at the most critical time in our life. After a car accident left me unable to work for eight months and I began my case against the insurance company, the bills kept piling up. After securing a small loan with reasonable interest rates, I consolidated my outstanding debts and more importantly, gained the peace of mind that everything was going to be okay. Everyone at BridgePoint has made me feel valued and important. When my regular bank of 18 years was slow to respond to my needs, BridgePoint has been there for me. If anyone out there is in a similar situation and has concerns about what tomorrow might bring to you and your family (and the wolves are at your door), call BridgePoint – they will be there for you.”

“I was in an accident two and a half years ago that changed my life overnight. I was financially secure and working well on my way to paying off school debt and saving for my first house but after my accident I could no longer work and the bills were piling up. Disability benefits do not pay well even at their maximum. A few weeks ago, I decided I needed to get caught up. My lawyer referred me to BridgePoint based on successful results his previous clients had had. Right from the first email and phone call with BridgePoint I felt the support I needed. They were so friendly and genuine, taking the time to thoroughly answer all of my many questions. Their rates were affordable and they do their own review of supporting medical documents so they can determine an appropriate amount of funding. Once the process was started I had the money I needed in less then a week. This is the first time in the last two and a half years I have felt a sense of ease. The kindness from BridgePoint's staff is something you notice from start to finish. I thank and appreciate both ladies that helped with my loan and I take comfort in knowing they are there to help. The stress of a legal claim can take such a toll it is great to have a company that doesn't add to that. Thank you again with my highest recommendations.”

"When I began looking for a loan I did my due diligence and conducted a lot of research on the industry. I was drawn to a feature story in the prestigious magazine Canadian Lawyer about BridgePoint. The cofounder in the article was informative and honest and upfront about the industry and BridgePoint - and that has been exactly my experience with BridgePoint staff since I contacted them soon afterward. They have been kind and courteous and professional and have worked hard on my behalf - and sensitive too. There is a legitimate need for this kind of service for people in my position, and there are stories about people having paid a lot of high hidden fees and interest rates. Not BridgePoint. BridgePoint has been completely upfront about every aspect of my loan. Not only that, but very informative. It turned out a line of credit was better for my situation than a full loan and it was BridgePoint staff who helped me with that and possibly saved me interest in the long run. BridgePoint has help bring me great financial relief when I really needed it and I won't ever forget it. I am really grateful. There is simply no better company out there doing this for people than BridgePoint."

“I would like to express my sincerest thanks to BridgePoint Financial. In Oct/08, my husband was injured in an automobile accident where the other driver was at fault, hitting my husband while he was stopped. He spent the next two years struggling to keep working as a business owner. During this time, he was in constant pain which forced him to sell the business in 2010. He spent the next year and half not working, trying to accomplish tasks around our home, watching our financial position become more and more critical by the day, until he was finally able to obtain a part-time job earning minimum wage. However, our financial position became worse, and we ended up in a position of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Miraculously, as we reached the point of being only days away from having no choice but to file for bankruptcy, his lawyer approached BridgePoint about financing to assist us in getting through until our case was settled. The lawyer did all the work for him, and the process was fast and easy. Within days, we received word from BridgePoint that he qualified for this loan and therefore would not lose everything that he had worked his whole life to achieve! You helped him to gain some self-respect back, and reduce his feelings of worthlessness. You allowed him to hold onto his other major asset, the house that he's worked so hard to own. I'm finally starting to get my husband back! THANK YOU!”

“Two years ago, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident. I suffered serious back and neck injuries which have left me in constant pain. The impact that this accident has had on my life has been devastating. I had always been very secure financially and my wife and I were looking forward to a comfortable retirement in just a few years. The income replacement benefits I received from my insurer weren't even enough to cover our basic living expenses and were eventually cut off completely. As a result, the retirement savings that my wife and I had worked our entire careers to accumulate had disappeared. The loan I received from BridgePoint Financial has helped me get through this extremely challenging time. The people I dealt with at BridgePoint were very understanding and knowledgeable about the situation I was facing, and were very professional. Thankfully BridgePoint was there to help me through what has been an exceptionally trying experience."
