Your Keys or Your Life; Make the Right Choice.

A University of Mount Union student knows all too well how one decision by a drunk driver can change a life forever.  Melinda was pinned inside her crushed vehicle and suffered two broken legs, a dislocated arm and a mild brain injury after a drunk driver slammed into her car.

“I had to learn how to stand up and I had to learn how to walk before I could leave the hospital... I had to fight to get out of bed, fight because someone took that away from me,” said Melinda.

Senseless tragedies involving alcohol remain too common.  While the dangers of driving under the influence are well-known, campaigns against drunk driving are endless, and states have imposed strict drunk driving laws, people continue to get behind the wheel while under the influence.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), many of these accidents happen during the holiday season.  “Every 54 minutes during the holiday season drunk driving claims a life,” said Anthony Fox, a U.S. Transportation Secretary.

Lawsuit Financial, a pro-justice litigation funding company, shares these tips to protect you and others this holiday season.

1. If you drink, don't drive no matter how little you may have had.
2. Don't let someone you know get behind the wheel if they've been drinking.
3. Avoid driving between during early and late evening hours on holidays.
4. Be cautious and watch for the erratic movements of other drivers.
5. Immediately report suspected drunk drivers to the police.

We urge everyone to do their part to keep motorists safe.  Be responsible; don’t drink and drive.  You can hand over your keys or your life. Make the right choice.

Unfortunately, even the most responsible drivers get in accidents. If the accident was due to the negligence of another driver, victims may be able to seek compensation.  After filing a lawsuit, the plaintiff may also be eligible for pre-settlement funding, a lawsuit cash advance typically used to pay the essentials – medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, mortgage, and daily household bills such as groceries.  There are no credit checks or employment verifications necessary; the only requirement to obtain funding is a case with merit.  Best of all, nothing is owed to the funding company until the case successfully settles.  If the plaintiff loses, the cash advance is completely waived.  With pre-settlement lawsuit funding, you can maintain your finances so you won’t have to settle for less than you deserve.  Complete our free, online application or call our office today to learn more.

DTRT: Put Down the Phone and Drive

Four years ago, Ashley’s life changed forever in one split second.  The reason? She was texting while driving.  Today, Ashley is partially paralyzed.

Ashley got ready for work, but did not see her husband before she left.  Wanting to tell him she loved him and to have a good day, so she pulled out her phone to send him a text.  When Ashley drifted over the center line into oncoming traffic, she overcorrected and lost control of her vehicle.  It flipped and she was thrown into the air; Ashley was not wearing a seatbelt.  When she came to, Ashley knew immediately that she was paralyzed.

Ashley suffered a broken neck; she could not stand or sit up; she could not bathe or dress herself.  Every day since has been a struggle; the hardest part for this now-divorced mom is not being able to be the mom she once was to her daughter.  Ashley’s daughter will say things like, “I like to go play with your friends, because they have legs, and they can do things,” or “'Momma, I will wait. I'll wait until you walk, I'll be patient.”

That is a powerful message from a child.  DTRT (Do The Right Thing); stop texting and driving; it’s not worth it.

A No-Risk “Loan” for Plaintiffs Facing Financial Hardship

A personal injury plaintiff struggling to pay the bills while waiting for his/her lawsuit to wind through the courts is nothing new. Even when a case successfully settles, a plaintiff may continue to wait for compensation, especially during an appeal process.  “We understands this situation and provides non-recourse cash advances to help plaintiffs survive these difficult financial times,” said Mark Bello, owner and founder of Lawsuit Financial.

Strategic and timely placed cash advances, known as lawsuit funding, may be the only way for plaintiffs to stay financially afloat and resist the pressure to settle too soon, for less than case value.  Funding can be used at the plaintiff’s discretion, but is typically used to pay the mortgage, rent, tuition, medical bills, and daily household expenses.  There is no employment verification or credit history required; funding is based on the projected future settlement or award.

“All that is required for Lawsuit Financial to review a case for funding is that the plaintiff has filed a lawsuit through and experienced attorney and completed our one-page application. Once we receive the plaintiff’s application and case documentation from his/her attorney, our investors will determine if the case has merit,” said Mr. Bello.  If approved, Lawsuit Financial will prepare a contract and funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours.  It is important to note that our funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, meaning that if the plaintiff loses the case, she/he owes us nothing,” stated Bello.

What You Don’t Want to Include in Your Holiday Budget

With Thanksgiving falling later than usual this year, there are fewer days to shop for Christmas, and that could result in more traffic congestion on our roadways in the final weeks leading up to Christmas.  This is because frantic shoppers are hurrying to make those final purchases. 

Last-minute shopping, coupled with the pressure of locating the right item at the store with the lowest price, leads to stress.  When people are stressed, they tend to drive more aggressively. 

The holidays are also a time for family gatherings and holiday parties, most of which include food and drinks; for some, too many drinks.  According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, drunk driving accidents account for 31 percent of all motor vehicle accidents. Additionally, thousands of drivers and passengers lose their lives each year because of drunk driving.

Most people would never imagine that their holiday celebration could result in serious injuries or death, but the risks associated with distracted driving or driving while impaired are very real.  Unless you want to spend a lot more than you budgeted for this holiday season, drive responsibly.  Slow down, put down the phone, and focus on the road.  You can also avoid an accident by being mindful of your surroundings and other drivers.  Many accidents have been avoided by anticipating other drivers’ moves.  Taking all possible precautions will help increase your chances of safe traveling.  If each of us does our part to increase safety on our roadways, just maybe we will see less serious and fatal auto accidents this holiday season.

Lawsuit Financial is Standing By to Help Auto Accident Victims This Holiday Season

Lawsuit Financial is pleased to offer a means for cash-strapped plaintiffs to avoid debt and credit risk this holiday season.

When auto accident victims are already struggling to pay medical expenses, mortgage or rent payments, or simply buying groceries and putting food on the table, they may find it hard to even think about holiday expenses.  Plaintiffs in need of fast cash this holiday season may be eligible for lawsuit funding.

When an innocent victim is in the middle of a lawsuit, sometimes cash can be tight especially with additional bills and medical expenses combined with the loss if income. Often times, this is because insurance companies will prolong the process by denying, delaying, defending to avoid paying fair compensation in the hope that the plaintiff will be forced to settle for far less than they would receive from a jury verdict. Unless the plaintiff has savings to fall back on, he/she may need financial assistance to survive the holidays.

Lawsuit Financial, a pro-justice litigation funding company, is a leader in the lawsuit funding industry. We believe being forced to settle for less compensation because you are in a financial bind is not seeking justice.  If you are not in the financial position to enjoy the holidays, lawsuit funding could be a viable option and it can make a difference in your financial staying power.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance based solely on the strength of your case; credit history and employment do not matter and there are no monthly payments. Because of this, a plaintiff may qualify for lawsuit funding even though he/she would never qualify for a bank loan or line of credit. Unlike a bank loan, the application process is easy, and once approved, money can be available within 24-48 hours. Another advantage to lawsuit funding is that the plaintiff does not need to report a lawsuit cash advance therefore it will never show up on a credit report.  There are no upfront fees or monthly payments with Lawsuit Financial and we offer a quick turnaround time; 24 – 48 hours.

So, don’t let the holidays add more stress during an already difficult time. To learn more about a lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial, call or visit us online for a free, no-obligation consultation.
