Injunction Bonds: Get the Bond the Court Requires for an Injunction

Court Ordered a Bond for an Injunction? Send Us the Order.

If a court required an injunction bond before granting or continuing an injunction or restraining order, send us the order and the bond form. We’ll tell you what the surety needs and whether we can help.

If the court later finds the injunction should not have been granted and the other party has a valid claim under the bond, the surety can pay up to the bond amount. The surety can then seek reimbursement from the party who posted the bond under the indemnity agreement.
The bond protects the party who is restrained, not the party who requested the injunction.

What Is An Injunction Bond?

An injunction bond is a court bond that may be required when a court grants an injunction or restraining order. It provides security for damages the other party may suffer if the injunction turns out to have been wrongly granted.

Who Sets the Injunction Bond Amount?

The court sets it, based on the court rules and the circumstances of the case. Use the amount in the court order.

If you believe the amount is wrong, talk to your attorney. We bond what the court requires.

Does an Injunction Bond Require Collateral?

It can. Injunction bonds can involve substantial financial exposure, and sureties often ask for collateral, financial statements, and information about the case.

Bring it up at the beginning, and send the court order and your financial information early.

Injunction Bond or Appeal Bond?

They are different bonds. An injunction bond is posted as security for an injunction or restraining order. An appeal or supersedeas bond is used to appeal a judgment.

Use the bond the court’s order describes. See Appeal Bonds for the appeal side.

How Much Does An Injunction Bond Cost?

You normally pay a premium for the bond, not the full bond amount. The bond amount can be large, and the premium depends on the amount, the collateral, your financial strength, and the surety company.

We cannot quote a price until the surety has reviewed your file.

Can I Get an Injunction Bond With Bad Credit?

Possibly, but it can be harder. The surety is guaranteeing a potentially large financial obligation, so it looks at your financial strength, collateral, and the case, not only credit.

Send us the order first. We can tell you what information is needed before assuming the answer is no.

Financial statements or other financial information

What Should I Send for an Injunction Bond Quote?

Send these as early as you can. The most useful items are:

How Long Does It Take to Get An Injunction Bond?

It depends, and injunction bonds can take longer than routine bonds. Larger amounts, collateral, and detailed underwriting add time. Do not assume this bond can be issued like a simple license bond.

Court deadlines matter. Send the order as soon as you receive it.
