Lawsuit Alleges Crosswalk Signal Wasn't Timed Right, Led to Pedestrian's Death

Accidents caused by defective traffic lights and signals result in thousands of auto and pedestrian accidents nationwide, resulting in serious injuries and death. Victims may have the right to seek compensation from all liable parties including government entities. A wrongful death attorney can ensure that the victim’s rights are protected, help determine who may be at fault, and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, loss of income, and other damages related to the accident.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed alleging a woman was killed because a pedestrian crossing signal wasn’t properly timed and didn’t give her enough time to cross a street.

The incident happened on a December evening in 2013. The lawsuit states that the victim had been on a Metro Transit bus. She got off just north of her stop and started to cross the street when she was hit by an 18-year-old driver. Police said the driver stopped immediately and with several bystanders tried to help the victim. Neither speed nor alcohol appeared were factors in the crash.

In addition to allegations that the crossing signal wasn’t properly timed, the lawsuit states that the area was poorly lit and the crosswalk was improperly maintained, resulting in the pedestrian being stuck and killed. The suit claims the cities of Minneapolis and Brooklyn Center, Hennepin County and MnDOT are all responsible for the maintenance, signing and operation of the intersection. The plaintiff seeks more than $50,000 in damages.

Determining fault can sometimes be a complicated process, taking months if not years. While the family may eventually receive a financial settlement, a wrongful death accident can cause immediate and long-term financial problems. If this happens, they may benefit from a lawsuit cash advance, known as lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a valuable service that helps plaintiffs pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and ongoing monthly bills during the litigation process rather than settling for less than the case is worth just to make ends meet. It is easy to apply for a lawsuit cash advance online or by phone and there are no costs or fees associated with the application. If approved, the lawsuit cash advance would arrive within 24 - 48 hours by check or by wire. The best part of obtaining lawsuit funding is that it is risk-free. There are no monthly payments; repayment is contingent upon the outcome of the case. If the case is lost, repayment of the lawsuit cash advance is waived in its entirety.

Litigation Funding Helps Plaintiffs Avoid Financial Ruin During A Long, Drawn Out Legal Battle

A North Carolina man has been arrested and charged with felony death by vehicle and driving while intoxicated, resulting in a head-on crash that killed a woman and severely injured her passenger. The negligent driver was also injured. He was convicted of DWI in 2006 and 1989, according to court records.

The woman’s grieving family will likely turn to the civil justice system seeking compensation for their loss. In some cases, a wrongful death lawsuit for DWI can result in a verdict or settlement of millions of dollars. But, such cases are not quick to settle as insurance companies with deep pockets deny, delay, and defend claims. This is how insurance companies take advantage of financially struggling plaintiffs.

Plaintiffs don’t have to fall prey to this manipulative tactic. Once they retain an attorney and file a lawsuit, a lawsuit cash advance can help this family stay financially solvent without sacrificing the value of their case. Whether its medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage/rent, car payments, tuition, or simply putting food on the table, a lawsuit cash advance empowers plaintiffs to reject a low-ball settlement offer.

Applying for litigation funding is quick and easy; it takes less than five minutes. Lawsuit Financial will then review case documentation to determine if the lawsuit has merit. There is no need for a credit check or collateral and if the case is approved for funding, repayment is made only after the case settles. If the case is lost, we are not repaid.

If you are the victim of a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, once you’ve hired an attorney and filed your case, it’s time to consider your budget and how to handle paying bills during the duration of the lawsuit — until a final settlement is reached. If you need financial assistance, call Lawsuit Financial toll-free at (877) 377-7848 or complete our online application to learn how we can provide a lawsuit cash advance against the proceeds of your pending lawsuit.

A Passenger Filed a Lawsuit against a Driver and his Employer, Alleging Negligence

When an auto accident occurs while a negligent driver is driving in order to perform his/her work duties, the employer may be held liable. Two ways that an employer can be held liable for a car accident caused by an employee is employer negligence in the form of hiring, training and supervision and vicarious liability. Vicarious liability is a legal concept that holds someone who is not directly involved in an accident responsible for accidental or intentional damages caused by someone else. For example, the owner of an automobile may be responsible for an accident caused by the driver of that automobile. An employer or supervisor may be liable for the negligent or intentional actions of their employees.

The point, obviously, is that if you have been injured, there may be multiple unknown parties who are responsible for the conduct of the person who directly caused your injury. They may have potential legal liability; it is your attorney’s job to make certain that all who are responsible are held to accountability.

A woman has filed a lawsuit against a carpet manufacturer and one of its drivers, alleging negligence caused an auto accident and ultimately her injuries.

According to the complaint, on April 4, 2013, the woman was a passenger in a vehicle being driven by her mother. The suit alleges that a van owned by the carpet manufacturer, crossed the center line, causing a head-on collision with the vehicle in which she was riding. As a result, the plaintiff sustained serious and permanent injuries, disfigurement, mental anguish and other damages. She alleges the negligent driver improperly crossed the center line, entered the lane in which her mother was driving, and failed to maintain proper lookout.

The plaintiff seeks trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in compensatory and general damages.

Now that the lawsuit has been filed, if the plaintiff does not have the financial ability to wait out the litigation process for a settlement or verdict, she may wish to consider litigation funding.

Litigation funding is a valuable service that helps plaintiffs pay medical expenses and ongoing monthly bills during the litigation process so plaintiffs are not forced to settle their valuable case for less than it is worth. Qualifying for litigation funding is easy with Lawsuit Financial because we provide the cash advance based on the strength of the case. If approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be received within 24 – 48 hours. There is no credit check and no income or employment requirements. In addition, paying back the advance is only made after the case settles. If, for any reason, the case is lost, the repayment is completely waived.

If you have been seriously injured due to the negligence of another driver, and struggling financially, let Lawsuit Financial provide a financial vehicle so you are not forced to settle for less than you deserve. Contact us online or via phone at (877) 377-7848 for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Woman Suffers Traumatic Brain Injury After Partial Building Collapse In Covington, Kentucky Historical District

A 42-year-old Kentucky woman was one of four injured when bricks and debris fell from a building while they were chaperoning a field trip with 20 eighth graders who were learning about charitable outreach. The woman suffered a traumatic brain injury and doctors are unsure if she will ever walk again. The three other chaperones were injured, but not as severe. None of the students were injured.

Although the woman’s prognosis remains unclear, but her husband said she is slowly making progress. Just a month ago, she could not recognize him or their two children. Recently, the woman spoke her first words since the accident and is now able to sit up. “To get the diagnosis of her being a paraplegic is difficult, but losing her mind is the most difficult to deal with because you're losing the person,” her husband said during an exclusive interview. “To see her come back, and be able to communicate and recognize her family … We've learned to celebrate really small wins.”

Roofers had been working atop the century-old Steffen's Tool Rental building, although Covington Fire Chief Dan Mathew said that work may not be related to the collapse. It had been raining, but that doesn’t appear to be a contributing factor. Why the block of bricks came crashing down is still unknown, yet it does raise questions about building inspections in Covington. The site of the collapse is part of the Pike Street Historic Preservation Overlay zone in Covington.  Most of the buildings were constructed between 1860 and 1890. Covington City Manager Larry Klein says even though the building in question is more than 100 years old, Covington has no record of it ever being inspected by code enforcement officials.

Under premise liability, this family may be eligible for compensation from the property owner, roofing company, city inspectors, and more. A personal injury attorney can examine the facts and help the family through the complex legal issues. While waiting out the litigation process, Lawsuit Financial can help them with the significant medical expenses, lost wages, and other financial setbacks. We do this with a lawsuit cash advance known as lawsuit funding. By assisting with some of the mounting bills and expenses, the plaintiff can wait for justice to be served rather than settling far less than the case is worth.

The application process is quick and easy, taking less than five minutes to apply Once the lawsuit cash advance is approved, it is sent, by check or wire within 24 - 48 hours. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments. Best of all, repayment is only made once the case successfully settles.

Three Killed In 30+ Pile-Up on Michigan Highway During White-Out Conditions and Icy Roads

Although winter is not fully upon us, some cities have already experienced snow and icy conditions causing serious and fatal accidents.

Bursts of heavy snow, white-out conditions, and black ice created hazardous conditions in parts of southeast Michigan, resulting in a 30 – 40 car pile-up in Livingston County, according to Michigan State Police. At least three people were killed and several others injured. Some drivers and passengers had to be extricated from their vehicles.

According to reports, two drivers lost control of their vehicles, then a tractor-trailer jack-knifed, blocking most of the lanes of I-96.The actual number of cars involved is hard to determine because some vehicles may have run off the highway onto the shoulder or in the ditch of the median, but were not actually involved in the crash. The highway was closed in both directions for nearly three hours.

Winter weather, especially white-out conditions and black ice create a challenge on our roadways. Now is the perfect time for motorists to refresh their memory on how to safely navigate through the winter season.

• Consult the owner's manual for tips specific to your vehicle.
• Always be alert to the possibility of “black ice” when temperatures are near or below freezing. Don’t assume the roads aren’t slippery if it’s not freezing or below. Ice can form on roads at any time the temperature drops to 40 degrees, especially when it’s windy.
• Decrease your speed when visibility and road conditions are bad and increase following room by at least one car length.
• Brake gently to avoid skidding.
• Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
• Do not use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.
• Use extra caution on bridges and overpasses; remember that these surfaces are the first to freeze.
• Accelerate slowly to avoid loss of traction and control. Turn slowly, with caution, to avoid sliding.
• Make sure your vehicle is stocked with a “winter survival kit” – ice/snow scraper, blankets, warm clothing and gloves, spare tire, antifreeze, non-perishable food items, first aid kit, and cell phone charger, to name a few.

And, don’t forget the rules that apply in any condition – buckle up, don’t drive under the influence, and avoid distractions of any kind -- cell phone or texting while driving. If we all do our part, the roads will be safer this winter season.

San Antonio Fatality Raises the Question – What Liability Issues Do Sinkholes Create?

A deadly sinkhole in San Antonio swallowed two cars on December 4. One driver was rescued by passing motorists, but rushing water quickly poured into the other vehicle killing the trapped driver. By the time emergency crews arrived the car was completely submerged and filled with gravel and other debris. The fire department brought in a 100-ton crane to help lift the vehicles out as the fought against the rains that caused flash flood warnings and sewage oozing from the hole in the broken pipe. Every time a train went by, the rumbling caused pieces of earth to fall in.

It is not yet clear what caused the sinkhole to open, but reports state that although rainy weather precipitated the collapse, the collapse was likely caused when a large sewer line ruptured. According to officials, the 12-foot sinkhole opened up near a connection between a pipe that was replaced a year ago and pipe that is decades old. The city has been engaged in an “aggressive, vigorous, replacement program” for aging sewer pipes in the area, according to San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor. Crews have installed fencing around the hole and barricaded the road in preparation for repairing the crater.

Can the family of the deceased or the injured victim sue over this sinkhole or was it simply a freak accident?

Victims can potentially file lawsuits against city if the aging sewer pipes are to blame. But, isn’t easy to take on a government entity. Sovereign immunity limits the government’s liability in some cases, but there are exceptions, which vary from state to state, such as:

• The road became dangerous because of a change in physical conditions.
• The government agency knew of the dangerous conditions and had reasonable time to obtain funding and make repairs/improvements.
• Dangerous or misplaced road construction markers and barricades.
• Dangerous curves and defective guard rails.

Such claims can be very complex and require the assistance of an experienced attorney who can make sure the victims achieve the highest compensation possible for their loss. In the meantime, the challenge facing the plaintiffs is that the lawsuits could take months, even years to be resolved. They will not receive any compensation until they either reach an out-of-court settlement or win the case in court. Even if they win the case in court, appeals can further drag out the recovery. If the plaintiffs need financial support, Lawsuit Financial may be able to help.

Rather than struggling financially during an already difficult time, we can offer a non-recourse cash advance against the future proceeds of the lawsuits. This means repayment is made once a settlement is reached, but if the case is lost or dismissed, the plaintiffs keep the lawsuit case advance and owe us nothing. With this immediate funding source, known as lawsuit funding, the plaintiffs to take care of financial obligations while giving their attorney the time needed to seek appropriate justice.

To receive a lawsuit funding cash advance, a plaintiff begins by completing a one-page application. Unlike a bank loan, there is no need for a credit check, employment verification or monthly payments. Lawsuit Financial can make a funding decision and provide immediate cash in as little as 24 hours, provided we receive the necessary case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney.

What To Do When The Litigation Process Extends Beyond Your Financial Capabilities

If you have been injured in an accident, first and foremost you should seek medical treatment.  Next, if you believe you may have a personal injury claim, it is imperative that you consult an experienced auto accident attorney. The attorney will need to review everything about the case, including the accident report and medical treatment, to determine if he/she believe you have a valid claim. While many claims will settle without going to trial, some will not. Waiting out the litigation process could extend beyond your financial capabilities, especially if you are unable to work. The longer your case lasts, the more difficult it becomes to pay everyday bills. At that point, you may feel pressure to settle your case far too soon, for too little. A financial lifeline from Lawsuit Financial can keep you in the fight until your attorney can achieve the justice you deserve.

A lawsuit cash advance is a means to pay important financial obligations and necessary living expenses while buying your attorney time to build a stronger case in order to maximize the value of the outcome. Lawsuit funding can help you avoid a financial disaster such as foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy and ruined credit.

After you apply, the legal finance company will obtain case documentation from your attorney to assess the strength of the case and the expected outcome. If approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. The best part is there is zero risk to you, the plaintiff. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments. Once your case settles, your attorney will repay the cash advance from the proceeds of your case. And, if you lose the case you don’t have to pay back the advance. That’s right, we assume 100% of the risk when we invest in your case.

Don't settle for less just because you are in desperate need of money.  Call Lawsuit Financial or complete our online contact form. We will personally walk you through all your options and how lawsuit funding can best serve your financial needs during your pending lawsuit.

Sun Glare May Have Been Factor In Rear-End Crash That Claimed The Life Of One Student

While many of us may think of driving in weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, as potentially dangerous, this does not mean we can be less attentive when driving on a clear day. Driving on a sunny day can also create a dangerous, and sometimes deadly situation if the driver’s view is compromised by the glaring sun.

A 7-year-old girl was killed and ten others injured when an East Texas school van was rear-ended by a pick-up truck. According to reports, the van was struck while it was stopped to pick up children. Authorities believe the truck driver may have been blinded by the sun while coming over a hill and upon the stopped van.

Glare is not only a problem when motorists are driving into the sun; many motorists will run a red light because of the sun glare. Irrelevant, glares should never come as a surprise; we all know the sun comes up and it goes down. So how can you protect yourself and others on the road when driving into the sun?

AAA offers these tips:

• Keep your windshield clean, inside and out.
• Wear quality sunglasses with polarized lenses and UV protection to help reduce the glare.
• Utilize your sun visor – it can help to block out the sun.
• Leave more following room – when the sun is in your eyes it can be hard to see what the car ahead is doing.
• Turn headlights on so oncoming motorists can see you as they're driving toward the sun.
• Drive slower, even below the posted speed. It's against the law to drive at speeds in excess of road conditions.
• Use the same precautions and care as driving in other hazardous conditions, like fog or rain. If you can't see, don't drive.
• If possible, change your driving route.

There are no laws excusing a driver from liability in the event of an accident due to sun glare. The families of the victims may wish to consult an experienced attorney to understand their rights to compensation for their loss. An attorney can advocate for their rights should it be necessary.

Many lawsuits take months, even years to resolve. Until then, victims could find themselves in financial trouble. Lawsuit Financial may be able to help.

Lawsuit Financial understands the financial challenges victims and their families face after a serious auto accident. We offer lawsuit funding, a cash advance against a pending claim, to help plaintiffs who need financial help while their case proceeds through the litigation process.

With a lawsuit cash advance, plaintiffs can avoid the financial burden of medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, even daily household expenses until justice is served and a settlement reached. Once the plaintiff applies, our underwriters will review the case and if approved we can wired a check directly into the plaintiff’s bank account within 24 – 48 hours. The only requirement for lawsuit funding is that the case has merit. There is no need for good credit or employment, and there are no monthly payments. Funding is completely contingent upon the outcome of the case; repayment is made once the case is won and compensation received. If the plaintiff loses the case, the funds are waived completely because lawsuit funding is provided on a non-risk basis.

Lawsuit Financial will provide complimentary evaluation of your case; simply complete our online application or call us toll-free at 1-877-377-7848. One of our experienced representatives will answer any questions and help you understand the lawsuit funding process.

Lawsuit Funding Helps Wrongful Death Plaintiffs Cope With Unexpected Expenses

Any act of negligence, whether from an auto accident, medical malpractice, inadequate care, or defective product, that results in death is a potential wrongful death claim. Damages can include loss of income, medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. However, compensation is not automatic; wrongful death lawsuits usually involve a significant amount of money and are hard fought by defense-insurance interests, resulting in a long, drawn out legal battle that can take years to resolve. Some plaintiffs may have access to resources that would keep them stable until a verdict is delivered, but not everyone is that fortunate however. As the bills pile up, many may feel the pressure to settle too soon, for too little; the exact situation the insurance company hopes will happen. Being a financially desperate plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations, but what alternative does a plaintiff have?

Lawsuit funding allows victims of negligence to pay the necessary bills while they wait out the lengthy litigation process. Here’s how it works.

Once a plaintiff completes an online application or calls Lawsuit Financial, we request supporting documentation to determine if the case will qualify for funding. Approvals are based on the strength of the case, alone; whether you a plaintiff qualifies has nothing to do with credit standing or job status. We understand the urgency for most plaintiffs which is why we can typically approve an application for funding within 24 – 48 hour. Lawsuit Financial is repaid from the proceeds of the settlement, so if the case is lost, the plaintiff keeps the cash advance, no string attached.

If you are struggling financially while awaiting settlement of your loved one’s wrongful death case, how do you know if lawsuit funding is right for you? Ask yourself these questions:

·         Are you worried about financial issues?

·         Are you facing eviction, foreclosure, or repossession of your vehicle?

·         Are you unable to pay funeral expenses?

·         Are you unable to put food on the table or pay other necessities of life?

·         Are you considering a less than favorable settlement?

If you answered yes to most or all of these questions, you should contact Lawsuit Financial online or via phone at 1-877-377-7848 to see how lawsuit funding can make a real difference in the bottom line of your case. You owe it to yourself to check it out.

Experience and Reputation Matter

The legal finance industry is no different than most other industries. If you are searching for lawsuit funding, experience and reputation should matter.

If you were seriously injured in an auto accident, it is important to contact an experienced attorney who knows how to handle a personal injury claim. The reason is that an attorney’s experience can directly impact your case. If you are working with an attorney that has never handled your specific type of case, it could greatly reduce your chances to obtain the compensation you deserve. The same is true for obtaining lawsuit funding.

Once you have filed an injury claim or lawsuit, if you are interested in receiving a lawsuit cash advance against your case, Lawsuit Financial can help. Lawsuit Financial has been a leader in the litigation funding industry for over 17 years because we have a proven reputation of working tirelessly to provide sensible lawsuit cash advances for plaintiffs struggling financially during a pending lawsuit. Unlike our competition, we don’t do television and radio commercials, billboard advertising, direct mailings, or email blasts. A large percentage of our success comes from attorney and past client referrals.

A plaintiff that applies for lawsuit funding does not need good credit. In fact, those with poor credit or no credit at all can still obtain funding approval. We do not approve clients based upon their credit history or rating. Furthermore, the plaintiff does not need to be employed. All we care about is the strength of the case. If Lawsuit Financial believes an applicant’s case has a strong chance of success, funding will likely be approved.

Lawsuit Financial understands that most of our clients are in desperate need of financial relief and time is always of the essence. Once we receive a request for funding, Lawsuit Financial will contact the plaintiff’s attorney for necessary documentation and our in-house underwriters will make a funding decision, typically within 24 – 48 hours.

When Lawsuit Financial invests in a case, we do so at our own risk. Funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning repayment of the cash advance is made once the case successfully settles. The amount paid comes directly out of the proceeds of the case. If the case is lost, repayment is completely waived.

If you need further information or want to see if your case qualifies for lawsuit funding, it is important to first talk to your attorney. Without attorney cooperation, it will be impossible to obtain a lawsuit cash advance against your case. Next, complete our online form or call our office at (877) 377-7848 for a free, no obligation consultation to understand the best funding solution for you and your case. We also can provide funding for plaintiffs who have received a judgment or the case is under appeal.

Innocent Woman Killed In DUI Street-Racing Crash

According to police reports, two men were street racing when the driver of a BMW struck a woman’s SUV. The SUV then veered into another lane and was struck by the other street-racer’s vehicle. The female driver of the SUV died the next day from internal injuries. The fatal crashed happened on a busy road in Frontenac, Missouri on July 8, 2016.

A lawyer for the family of the deceased woman said two vehicles were racing at more than 110 mph before the crash, based on accident reconstruction analysis and downloads of “black box” recorder data from the racing vehicles. He said the family was waiting until the investigation was complete to decide whether to file a wrongful-death case.

Authorities originally said they planned to seek manslaughter charges against both men, but recently the driver of the BMW was charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors said the second-degree murder charge was warranted because the man has a prior offense of driving while intoxicated. He pleaded guilty of driving while intoxicated in 2001 in St. Charles County, and he was convicted in 2002 of a similar crime in Los Angeles, according to records.

It is always a tragedy to lose a family member to a senseless act such as this, but the pain in this case may be worse knowing that this fatal crash was caused by a man who made a career out of defending people such as this victim and her family. As a personal injury attorney he was well aware of the consequences of his negligent actions.

If a lawsuit is filed and the plaintiffs need financial assistance, they may want to consider auto accident litigation funding. Auto accident lawsuit funding is a service that provides financial assistance to victims and their families while they wait for their case to be concluded and for justice to prevail.

Litigation funding will help pay necessary bills and expenses, such as medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, auto payments, rent, and other damages as a result of injuries or loss. It is provided based on the merits of the case and the time it will take to achieve that outcome. Funding can often be available in less than 48 hours after receipt of a completed application. There are no monthly fees, no credit checks, and no employment verification. Repayment of the cash advance is only required when the case concludes successfully. If the plaintiff loses, the repayment is waived in its entirety.

Financial relief during the litigation process is only a phone call away. But, it is important to choose an experienced funding company to guide you appropriately. Lawsuit Financial has been a leader in the legal finance industry for over 17 years. We are one of a few legal funding companies where funding comes from our own resources. Don’t let the finish line leave you settling too early for too little. Call us today to discuss funding options available for your case.

Head-On Fatal Collision Likely Due to Speeding and Driving Under the Influence

A Utah woman was killed in a two-car crash after a Jeep drifted into oncoming traffic and collided head-on into her Chevy Malibu. The woman died instantly; the 26-year-old driver of the Jeep was taken to Utah Valley Medical Center in serious condition and is under police guard. The front of the Malibu was crumbled beyond recognition and both drivers had to be extricated from their respective vehicles, according to police. The investigation is ongoing, but speed and alcohol appear to have been factors.

The details of this fatal crash won’t be known until the investigation is complete. Although it may be difficult for surviving family members to think about taking legal action following the loss of loved ones, a wrongful death lawsuit is the only way to hold the negligent party accountable for their actions and for the family to seek compensation for damages. In addition to compensation for funeral costs and other expenses resulting from the death, the family can also seek damages for the loss of present and future earnings as well as intangible elements of life, such as loss of companionship, which cannot be assigned cash value.

Wrongful deaths resulting from an auto accident have the potential to exhaust financial resources, especially when income is impacted. The bills won’t stop coming in just because the family is in a pending lawsuit. To stay financially afloat, auto accident litigationfunding may be a perfect solution.

Litigation funding is a cash advance that assist plaintiffs who are struggling to make ends meet due to injury or death caused by auto accidents. The only collateral required is a pending lawsuit. Once a plaintiff has attorney representation, he/she can apply for this non-recourse cash advance either online or over the phone.

Funding is based solely on the strength of the lawsuit; there are no credit checks or employment verification. There are no monthly payments; repayment is made once the case successfully settles. If the case is lost, repayment is completely waived.

For any plaintiff who feels they cannot financially wait to seek justice in a wrongful death lawsuit, litigation funding may be the solution.

If you do not have an attorney, we have a network of attorneys all over the country waiting to assist you. We would be happy to provide one in your area at no cost.

Widow Files Lawsuit Alleging Distracted Driving Led to Head-On Fatal Crash

Pre-settlement funding can help provide the means for a victim's loved ones to get through the long haul of a wrongful death lawsuit without feeling pressured to settle due to financial burdens.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed following a fatal two-vehicle crash in March. The collision occurred after a Ford F-150 crossed the centerline and went into the opposite lane of traffic, striking a Chevy Trailblazer head-on. The 21-year-old driver of the Trailblazer was pronounced dead at the scene. The F-150 driver was treated for non-life threatening injuries. He cited for improper lane use. The deceased leaves behind a wife and two children.

The lawsuit argues that the pick-up truck driver was negligent, did not take proper precautions, and may have been distracted, thus causing the crash. He has a prior felony charge from July after pleading guilty on charges that he possessed nearly 12.5 ounces of marijuana in March 2015, records show. He also has previous arrests on charges of DUI and domestic battery.

Beyond the terrible emotional toll a wrongful death has on those left behind, it can also create significant financial hardships, especially if the victim was the family’s bread winner. Insurance companies put their own financial interests first; they make every attempt to deny, delay, and defend lawsuits and claims. These companies have financial staying power; they have the ability to use a plaintiff’s desperation to force a settlement, often too soon for too little compensation. For those plaintiff who decide to continue the litigation and win the case, the insurance company almost always appeals the verdict, dragging the case out even longer.

A financial desperate plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations and will, almost always, settle his/her case for less than fair compensation. Strategic lawsuit funding will often prevent this from happening and will often pay for itself with increased case proceeds. There are no up-front fees or monthly payment obligations, no credit checks or employment verifications, and no effect on credit standing. Because repayment is contingent upon a successful recovery, if the lawsuit is lost, there is no obligation on the part of the plaintiff to repay the cash advance.

The loss of a loved one is devastating enough; don’t let financial hardship add to an already stressful situation. Call Lawsuit Financial Corporation! We are here to help when you need them most – typically in less than 48 hours.

Often times, it will take months if not years to achieve the largest possible settlement or verdict as the insurance company will typically deny, delay, and defend every claim.

Plaintiff’s Road to Short-Term Financial Stability May Begin with Lawsuit Funding

A 21-year-old man was on his way home from work when hid right tire lost tread, and he lost control of the vehicle. His SUV rolled several times and crossed the median before hitting another vehicle. The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene; his passenger was transported to the hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Both men were wearing seat belts, and there’s no indication of speeding or alcohol at this time, according to the highway patrol. A family of five, including three children, were in the other vehicle. They were all transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Was the tire defective? Did the tread peel off with no warning? Were there obvious signs of wear and tear that went unnoticed by the young driver? These are questions to be considered during an investigation. If it is determined that the tire was defective, the family of the deceased man may have a product liability lawsuit against the tire manufacturer.

The journey to reach through the litigation process will be a long one. The legal battle could also impact the family’s financial position until a settlement or a damage award can be obtained. One way to minimize the financial impact is to seek a lawsuit cash advance from a professional lawsuit funding company.

Your tires may look fine, but rubber degrades over time. When traveling at highway speeds, the tread could peel off leading to loss of control. Heat will wear a tire faster, increasing the chance of a flat or blow out. Make sure to inspect your tires carefully, especially if you have teen drivers. There inexperience behind the wheel can be even more dangerous if a tire fails while they are driving. Take 15 minutes out of your afternoon to help protect you and your loved ones for a lifetime.
