Lawsuit Funding: The Right Decision for the Right Settlement

Someone injured in an auto accident due to no fault of their own deserves to be compensated. However, a lengthy litigation process forces many plaintiffs to accept a settlement offer simply to make ends meet, especially if injuries resulted in lost income. Lawsuit funding gives plaintiffs the ability to stay the course and hold out for the largest settlement possible.

Lawsuit Financial offers a non-recourse cash advance on the expected settlement or verdict in a filed lawsuit. Our funding services include:

Easy Application. Applying for lawsuit advances is fast and easy; it takes less than five minutes online or over the phone.

No Credit or Employment Checks. Unlike traditional bank advances, credit history or employment status have no bearing on funding approval. The only collateral is a strong, winnable case.

No monthly payments. There are absolutely no payments until the case settles or a verdict is reached. Repayment is made from the case proceeds.

No risk: Lawsuit funding carries no risk to the plaintiff. If the case is lost, the plaintiff is not required to repay the cash advance.

Fast approval. Once an application is received and case documentation from the plaintiffs’ attorney, a funding decision can be made within 24 – 48 hours.

Fast Cash: Once approved for funding, the money can be wired directly into the plaintiffs’ bank account or sent overnight mail.

No Restrictions: While it is prudent to budget and spend the money wisely, there are no restrictions on how the plaintiff spends the lawsuit cash advance.

Don’t be tempted by the phrase “something is better than nothing.”  If you have been injured in an auto accident due to no fault of your own, have a pending lawsuit with attorney representation, and in need of immediate cash, get the compensation you deserve with a lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial.

Despite Regulations, Fatigue Remains Common Cause of Trucking Accidents

The government has imposed a series of restrictions on the amount of time big rig drivers may spend behind the wheel. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Association (FMCSA), restrictions include:

• Drivers may drive a maximum of 11 hours after 10 consecutive hours off duty.
• Drivers may not drive beyond the 14th consecutive hour after coming on duty, following 10 consecutive hours off duty.
• Drivers may drive only if 8 hours or less have passed since end of driver’s last off-duty or sleeper berth period of at least 30 minutes.
• Drivers may not drive after 60/70 hours on duty in 7/8 consecutive days. A driver may restart a 7/8 consecutive day period after taking 34 or more consecutive hours off duty. 

Drivers must also keep a record of service in case there are any questions whether the driver violated any of the restrictions. In addition to hours-of-service rules, there are laws setting out inspection, repair and maintenance of trucks, transportation of hazardous materials, and truck size and weight route designations.

If a truck driver drives beyond these hours and his fatigue is deemed a factor in an accident, the driver, the truck owner/operator and the company that employed the driver may all be liable for the accident.

Most recently, a Tennessee semi-tractor trailer driver fell asleep behind the wheel before causing a 12-vehicle accident on I-55, according to Illinois State Police. Five people were transported to local hospitals for treatment with non-life threatening injuries.  An additional nine people were treated at the scene. In addition to being charged with driving while fatigued, the truck driver was also charged with brakes out of adjustment, 14-hour rule violation, false report of duty status, and failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

If you or a loved one have been injured in a truck accident that you believe was caused by truck driver fatigue, you may be entitled to receive compensation for damages incurred, such as current and future medical bills, lost wages, physical pain and emotional anguish. It is important to contact an experienced attorney who can assess the facts of the case and help determine who bears liability.

Between injuries, lost wages, and dealing with a lengthy litigation process, the aftermath of a truck accident can be an emotional and financially devastating time. Lawsuit funding can provide the money you need to pay bills and keep your family protected while your case winds through court.

Once approved for funding, you can pay the bills and focus on healing. The advance is paid back when your case settles; lose your case and you owe nothing.

Would You Risk Your Child’s Health and Your Financial Future on a Toy?

Now that summer is here, it is time to remind everyone of an important topic: trampoline accidents.

Trampolines, whether at an indoor park or in the backyard, are popular among children and teens, even some adults. Though trampolines may be fun, they can cause serious and permanent injuries, even when the trampoline has a net and padding and kids are supervised. In fact, the AmericanAcademy of Pediatrics (AAP) believes that no amount of parental supervision is enough to eliminate the potential for serious injury and has recommended against backyard trampolines since 1999. Yet, that doesn't stop parents from purchasing them.

Most people think trampoline injuries usually occur by falling off the trampoline, but that is far from the truth. Two thirds of trampoline injuries occur on the trampoline such as landing wrong or colliding with others jumping.

According to the AAP, the following are common injuries:

• Broken bones (sometimes needing surgery)
• Dislocations and muscle damage
• Concussions and other head injuries
• Sprains/strains
• Bruises, scrapes, and cuts
• Neck and spinal cord injuries
• Traumatic brain injuries

Some injuries have resulted in permanent paralysis, even death.

Then, there is the liability issue. Many homeowner insurance policies either prohibit them or have a clear exclusion for trampoline injuries. If someone else's child is injured on your trampoline, you could be on the hook for any medical bills. Worse still, if a child climbs your fence while you're away and gets hurt, you may also be liable, even though the child was trespassing at the time.

If that isn't enough to persuade you, and a trampoline is part of your child’s backyard fun, the CPSC has this advice for parents and homeowners:

• Position the trampoline on a clear, flat surface. Never place it on concrete or other hard surfaces. Do not place it close to buildings, playground equipment, swimming pools, roadways, power lines, or trees. 
• Make sure the springs, hooks, supporting bars, and frame are securely padded.
• Periodically check the trampoline for wear. If protective padding, the net enclosure, or any other parts are damaged, repair or replace before anyone is allowed to use the trampoline.
• Provide adult supervision at all times.
• Allow only one person to use a trampoline at one time.
• Do not attempt or allow somersaults.
• Do not allow anyone to jump off the trampoline.
• Enclose the trampoline in a gated area so children don’t have access when unsupervised.
• Never use a trampoline at night.
• Do not allow a child under six years of age to use a full sized trampoline.

Additionally, parents should check their homeowner's policy. Make sure you have enough liability insurance and obtain a rider to cover trampoline-related injuries if not included in the basic policy.
