If you are represented by an attorney, then he's the best person to talk to regarding this. Some lawyers lend clients money to help with living expenses. Also there are lending companies, but they charge outrageous interest rates and I cannot advise using them unless absolutely necessary.

You cannot make the defendant pay you a settlement. That is a compromise usually made to avoid the cost of litigation/trial.

I help clients throughout Texas. Please contact me if you need legal representation.
