Lawsuit Funding Can Minimize Financial Impact During Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Holding alcohol providers liable can be extremely difficult. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed by a drunk driver, contact an experienced attorney to discuss your situation and your options. Unfortunately, these types of cases can take months, even years to settle. If you are currently being represented by an attorney and considering lawsuit funding, we can assist you in your time of need.

A 2011 fatal accident occurred when an intoxicated teen driver lost control on a curve and slammed into a tree head-on. A teen passenger in the back seat was ejected from the car and suffered serious head trauma; he was not wearing a seat belt. A breathalyzer test showed the driver had a blood-alcohol content of 0.136 percent at the time of the accident. Under Pennsylvania law, a teen driver is considered intoxicated at 0.02 percent. Police also said he was also speeding at the time of the accident. The family of the deceased teen filed a lawsuit against the drunk driver, the teen hosting the party, and the homeowner where the accident occurred. The case recently settled for an undisclosed amount.

This case would have been good candidate for lawsuit funding, a financial transaction to help supplement loss of income, pay medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage payments, and ordinary living expenses until a lawsuit settlement is reached. Removing financial pressure to settle a valuable case too early for too little could be a real difference maker for a case. A lawsuit cash advance levels the playing field allowing the plaintiff to patiently await justice and a fair and equitable verdict or settlement.

Here are some advantages to seeking lawsuit funding over a traditional bank loan.

• No application fees
• No monthly payments
• No credit checks
• No employment verification
• Once approved, fund would arrive by wire or check within 24-48 hours

Fund can be used at the plaintiffs’ discretion, but is typical used to pay funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses, or important monthly obligations such as mortgage or rent payments and utility bills. Most importantly, a lawsuit cash advance is only repaid if, and when, a case successfully settles. If the case is lost, repayment of the cash advance is completely waived.

You do not have to settle your case for pennies on the dollar when the insurance company tries to downplay your loss with a low offer. If you have been involved in an automobile accident and don't have the financial ability to wait out the litigation process, a lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial may be a viable solution for you.

Lawsuit Financial Services Available to Amtrak and Other Mass Transit Victims

While mass transit accidents may only make up a small percentage of all personal injury accidents, they usually receive some of the greatest attention due to the number of people affected by serious injury or death as a result. Public transportation on a large scale is regulated by a complex system of federal and state laws and governing bodies, so receiving just compensation and legal assistance can be incredibly difficult. For example, in order to receive compensation in a railroad accident case, it must be determined that the railroad company was negligent, and therefore responsible for injuries or death. In the wake of the Amtrak tragedy in Pennsylvania, it is important that people understand their legal rights in these types of situations.

The Amtrak train derailed as it was going around a curve of track in Philadelphia, killing eight passengers and injuring 200 others. A preliminary investigation showed that the train was traveling over 100 mph prior to the derailment, twice the speed limit for that area of track. Reports also state that the engineer operating the train applied full emergency breaks right before the crash, but claims he has no memory of what happened. Some victims may consider personal injury lawsuits to cover their pain and suffering, medical costs and other damages. In fact, one lawsuit against Amtrak has already been filed.

Earlier this year, a devastating New York accident involved a Metro North train and an SUV. The accident occurred when a crowded commuter train slammed into the SUV which was, for whatever reason, on the tracks. The force of impact dislodged a third rail that supplied power to the train. When 400 feet of the electrified third rail snapped, it splintered upward penetrating the car, before piercing the train and breaking into 80-foot segments. Combined with gasoline from the SUV, a deadly inferno erupted. The driver of the SUV and five people aboard the train died; over a dozen others were injured.

In December 2013, a Metro-North train carrying approximately 150 people derailed while rounding a bend where the Harlem and Hudson rivers meet. This deadly derailment killed four and injured over 60 others.  It was the worst accident on an MTA train since a derailment at Union Square in 1991 that killed five people and injured more than 200.

In March 2014, a Chicago subway train derailed as a result of driver fatigue. The operator of the Blue Line train did not slow down as it approached the dead-end center track at the O’Hare station. The runaway train jumped over a bump-stop designed to stop trains at speeds up to 15 mph, then continued onto the platform and into an escalator. More than 30 passengers were hurt.

Such mass transit accidents are not limited to trains. Fourteen people were killed and 19 were injured, 5 critically, when a chartered tour bus overturned at high speed on a highway in the Bronx. The bus hit a guard rail, scraped along it for 300 feet, toppled and crashed into the support post of a highway sign. The pole entered through the front window, then sheared the bus from front to back, cutting like a knife through the seating area and peeling off the roof.

In February 2013, a fire broke out on a Carnival cruise ship returning from a four-day voyage. The ship was stalled in the Gulf of Mexico for five days without engine power, air conditioning or working toilets,. It was later determined that Carnival Cruise Lines knew about the risk of leaks from engine fuel hoses, but failed to take necessary precautions on the ill-fated Carnival Triumph.

What laws apply to a mass transit accident? Who is liable?  In all these cases, proving liability is only half the battle; a plaintiff must also support his or her claim for damages. Consulting an experienced attorney is the best way to make sure that your rights will be protected, and just compensation will be sought on your behalf. While compensation can’t bring back a loved one, it can help alleviate the financial burden that results throughout the recovery process and beyond.
