Litigation Funding When it Matters Most

Dangerous roads can be the cause, or one of several factors, leading to an auto accident.  Such conditions can include poor maintenance, poor design, hidden road signs, or the absence of signs and traffic controls. Proving a dangerous roadway caused an auto accident can be a long legal process and difficult to prove; government bodies have strong defenses put in place. It is imperative that you discuss your options with an experienced attorney. If it is determined that a cause of action exists for a lawsuit and you need financial assistance, litigation funding may be a short-term solution.

A two-vehicle accident in Oley Township, PA took the life of an 18-year-old less than two months before her high school graduation. The accident happened just before midnight at the intersection of Oley Turnpike Road and Route 662 when a 19-year-old traveling westbound on Oley Turnpike Road failed to stop at a stop sign, crossing into Route 662. His vehicle was struck by a car traveling southbound on Route 662 in which the 18-year-old was a passenger. She was killed on impact and pronounced dead at the scene. Both drivers and all other passengers escaped with minor to moderate injuries. The deceased victim was not wearing a seatbelt. The accident is still under investigation.

Residents said the intersection is known to be dangerous, yet neither the township nor PennDot have done anything. It has been the site of numerous accidents, including one in November 2006 that claimed the lives of five adults and an unborn child. Below shows the westbound approach to the intersection in which it appears the stop sign is hidden by a pine tree.  A motorist approaching the intersection at midnight may find it even more difficult to spot.

An experienced auto accident attorney would be beneficial to the victims involved in this incident.  In addition to investigating the liability of the drivers, an attorney can retain accident reconstruction specialists, roadway engineers, etc. to examine roadway conditions and determine if dangerous road conditions were a factor.  Whether driver negligence, dangerous road conditions, or a combination, an attorney can pursue a claim so victims receive compensation they deserve. A personal injury settlement can also help to offset funeral expenses and provide non-economic damages for pain and suffering.

While the case will most likely take time to reach a settlement, if the family of the deceased needs financial support, Lawsuit Financial is here when it matters the most. We understand that auto accident lawsuits can take months, even years to settle and many people on a fixed income won’t have enough money to keep the case going.
