A Texas couple is recovering at home from a
miraculous escape from death earlier this month. The elderly couple suffered
serious, but non-life threatening injuries after their Ford F-250 was struck by
an SUV, causing it to plunge from
the Highway 175 bridge over the East Fork Trinity River. Crandle police
said the driver of the SUV was texting and driving when she veered into
oncoming traffic. She clipped the couple’s pick-up truck, forcing it to collide
head-on with the guardrail. The initial impact forced the truck over the
guardrail, where it fell 20 feet and landed on its roof in the embankment
below. The couple believes had it not been for the mud created by rain earlier
in the week that things could have been much worse. The SUV driver was
issued three tickets – neglect collision,
unsafe speed and going too fast for conditions, and failure to drive in a
single lane. The woman is fighting all three, claiming a coyote
jumped out in front of her car causing her to swerve, but police said several
witnesses confirm seeing her serve in and out of her lane for several miles.
Text messaging is banned for all drivers in 33 states
and the District of Columbia; Texas is not one of them. Many localities have
enacted their own bans on cellphones or text messaging; Crandall is not one of
them. This couple said they plan to advocate for stricter laws
addressing texting and driving.
Sensible
legislation is a necessary start,
but just because something is difficult to enforce doesn’t mean we should
ignore the issue. We all know
that using a cell phone while driving is incredibly dangerous and should
be illegal, yet many continue to engage in this risky behavior. Whether your state has a law banning
texting or not, please, do not text and drive.
Lawsuit
Financial is a leading provider of auto accident lawsuit funding all
over the country. Auto accident lawsuit funding is provided to people who are
injured or disabled in an accident and suffer financial setbacks as a result.
As a provider of litigation funding services, we benefit, indirectly, from the
filing of lawsuits. Accidents and injuries result in lawsuits; investing in
lawsuits is how we make our living. As such, we do not derive an economic
benefit from promoting texting bans and other safety measures. We do so because
it is the right thing to do; the safety of our citizens is important to us and
to every trial lawyer who has ever represented a seriously injured person or
the estate of their deceased loved ones. We hope our readers will join us in supporting
a national ban on texting while driving. It is time for all of us to stand up
for safety.

Recent Medical Helicopter Crash Shows Fatality Rate Still Troubling
A
LifeFlight helicopter crashed about 80 miles south of Montgomery, Alabama, killing all four people on
board. According to reports,
the helicopter
had been called after a motorist struck a ditch and a utility pole in a one-car
vehicle crash about 11 p.m. Shortly after picking up the patient, the chopper crashed
in a heavily wooded area. Although the helicopter was reported missing about 12:15
a.m., the wreckage wasn’t discovered for nearly seven hours later, about a half-mile
from the scene of the vehicle crash. All four people on board the helicopter --
pilot, flight nurse flight medic, and patient were killed. An investigation is ongoing,
but poor weather conditions will be one area of focus; conditions were reportedly
foggy with low visibility at the time of the crash.
Medical helicopters are supposed to save lives,
not take them. Factors contributing to medical helicopter accidents can also be
the result of a mechanical failure or pilot error. According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), they are
frequently caused by pilot loss of control when operating in low light or low visibility
conditions such night in rain, for, or snow. Because medical helicopters operate
in close proximity to the ground, the probability of a crash increases dramatically
once the pilot loses visual references. In January 2006, the NTSB
recommended night vision goggles and a Terrain Awareness Warning Systems (TAWS)
be installed on all medevac helicopters. A computer
screen in the cockpit would provide visual and aural warnings when the
helicopter is in danger of crashing into the ground or obstacles, even at night
or in severe weather with limited visibility. The warnings allow the pilot to take
evasive action to keep the crew and passengers safe. Of the 55 crashes reviewed in the
NTSB report, night-vision goggles may have prevented 13; TAWS might have prevented
another 17.
It wasn’t until February 2014, that the Federal
Aviation Administration, which oversees air ambulance companies, issued a final ruling. By 2017, medical helicopters must
use the latest on-board technology and equipment to avoid terrain and obstacles,
and by 2018, they must be equipped with flight data monitoring systems. The FAA
examined helicopter air ambulance accidents from 1991 through 2010 and determined
62 accidents that claimed 125 lives could have been mitigated by the rule. It
is unknown at this time whether the LifeFlight helicopter was equipped with TAWS.
Even beyond safety equipment and other changes under the new FAA ruling, operators
must invest in training pilots and quality improvement measures.
Regardless of the new rules, not all air ambulance
accidents can be prevented. Trial lawyers can help families in the aftermath of
a tragic loss and hold negligent companies responsible for the harm they caused.
An attorney will not only look at pilot error and possible mechanical failure, but
also whether the warning system was aboard the medical helicopter. Also to be
considered is whether the flight was medically necessary? Studies have shown that
many missions undertaken by helicopter ambulances are medically unnecessary and
expose the patient and crew to inappropriate and unwarranted risks.
In any event, it will likely take several months
or as much as a year or longer for the NTSB
to determine the cause of the crash,” according to Peter Knudson, a spokesman for
the NTSB, delaying any lawsuits from reaching a settlement. In the meantime, lawsuit funding can help families of
these victims get through the litigation process without having pressing bills and expenses effect the value
of their case. A one-page application is all that is needed to get started. There
is no need for a credit check or employment verification. When the lawsuit successfully
settles, repayment of the cash advance is made from the case proceeds. If the case
fails, the repayment is waived. Funding decisions are usually made within 24 – 48
hours of receiving case documentation. If you find yourself running short on money
while your lawsuit is pending and you await justice, call Lawsuit Financial,
toll free, at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) for a free analysis of your case funding situation.

Don’t Let The Race To The Finish Line Cause An Inadequate Settlement
Three people are dead after a chain-reaction
crash triggered by street racing last month. California Highway Patrol
officials said that two Dodge muscle cars (a 2012 Dodge Challenger and a late
model Dodge Charger) were travelling over 100 mph in and out of LA freeway
traffic when the driver of the Challenger approached a vehicle moving at normal
freeway speed. As the racer tried to swerve around the other vehicle, he lost
control slamming into a UPS 18-wheeler. The 18-wheeler went airborne, over the
center median, and sheared off the top of an oncoming Nissan with four people
inside. The truck came to rest on top of a red Ford Explorer before bursting
into flames. The UPS driver and two teens in the Nissan were killed. The other
two people in the Nissan were critically injured; two more people suffered
minor injuries. The crash left the freeway closed for more than a day as officials
made repairs to the damaged road surface and barriers, according to Caltrans
and CHP officials. The 35-year-old driver of the Challenger is being held on
three counts of second-degree murder. Police are still asking for help identifying
the second driver believed to have been involved. They do not believe the drag
racers knew each other.
Even if the driver(s) responsible
face criminal charges, it is still possible to seek compensation from them in a
civil case. Recoverable compensation might include medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, other
expenses related to the damages,
as well as pain and suffering. If these families file a lawsuit and are
struggling to meet financial obligations, lawsuit
funding may be an option.
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. Lawsuit 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. A lawsuit cash advance is 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. Repayment is not
required until 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; don’t let the finish line leave you settling
too early for too little.

Lawsuit Financial Can Provide Financial Peace Of Mind For Families In Medical Misdiagnosis Lawsuits
Two
women -- of the same age -- and same diagnosis -- died of the same condition --
at the same hospital – shortly after doctors said the situation wasn’t dire.
Earlier this month, Geisinger
Health System reached an undisclosed settlement
with the family of a 26-year-old doctor who planned to work for the health
system before she died of a brain hemorrhaging while in its care on May 29,
2013. According to the January 2014 lawsuit, Dr. Jennifer Sidari had an
"easily diagnosable, treatable and entirely correctable" blood clot
condition when she arrived at Geisinger Wyoming Valley Medical Center’s in May
2013 complaining of a 10-day spell with headaches. The suit alleged that Dr.
Sidari eventually suffered a "horrific and painful death" from
massive cerebral hemorrhaging, a stroke and irreversible brain damage because
doctors failed to "be properly suspicious of" and detect the blood
clot that "should have been obvious." By the time they ordered a CT
scan or have her see a neurologist (more than 40 hours after she arrived at the
hospital), it was too late.
Weeks later, Geisinger is defending a strikingly
similar lawsuit.
Another 26-year-old woman (not a doctor, however) and mother of two, died of
brain hemorrhaging on April 1, 2013. The lawsuit, filed in February 2014,
alleges that the woman died tragically due to a blood clot in her brain that
was neither timely diagnosed nor properly treated when it was diagnosed. Plaintiff
attorneys said Jessica Gensel sought treatment for severe, vomit-inducing
headaches beginning March 19, but was discharge without a neurological exam.
Days later, she returned to the hospital but was again released despite complaints
of throbbing headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, weakness, ringing in her
ears, reduced feeling in her limbs, tremors and difficulty with balance,
according to the lawsuit. On April 1, she was rushed back to the hospital where
she later died after suffering irreversible brain damage. The cause of death
was intracerebral hemorrhage, according to the suit.
These two cases would be eligible for litigation funding. A lawsuit cash advance is often the answer to difficult
situations where a family has insufficient funds to handle unexpected bills and
ordinary living expenses, while trying to pick of the pieces of their shattered
lives. They would, simply, contact Lawsuit
Financial, complete an application, and we do the rest. A funding decision
is typically available within 24 – 48 hours after receipt of all pertinent
information. Because funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, repayment is
only made when the case successfully settles. The most appealing benefits of
litigation funding is that if the case is lost, the cash advance does not need
to be repaid. Additionally, because there is no need for a credit check, the
plaintiff’s credit remains intact.
If you have lost a loved one due to a misdiagnosis, you
may be entitled to a monetary recovery. Once you have legal representation, if
you lack the financial resources to withstand a lengthy legal process, consider
litigation funding. Contact Lawsuit Financial toll-free at 1-877-377-SUIT

Lawsuit Funding For Pharmacy Errors
As patients, we place a great deal of trust in our
pharmacies to ensure that our prescriptions are filled correctly. We know the pharmacist
or technician reads the doctor prescription,
pulls the medication off the shelf, counts out the pills, puts them in a vial,
and puts on a label with instructions. Easy, right? Wrong!
Medication errors occur far too often. Common examples of medication errors include the failure to fill the prescription with the correct medicine, filling the prescription with the correct medicine but in the wrong dosage, and giving a patient another person’s prescription. While the vast majority of these mistakes may not lead to serious injury, some prescription errors can have devastating consequences, including death. But, if pharmacists are required to complete hours of training and know about drugs and their reactions, how does this happened? The person who enters the prescription into the computer, pulls the medicine, and places it in a vial, and affixes the label is not always the pharmacist. In addition to the pharmacists, there are a number of other people involved in the prescription filling process, including pharmacy clerks, pharmacy technicians, and other staff. Furthermore, some states do not have medical requirements for technicians, and some may have nothing more than a high school diploma and some on-the-job-training. Of course, the pharmacist should check the technician, but that may not always happen. Many times the pharmacy is understaffed or a pharmacist is alone to fill prescriptions, answer phones, and run the cash register. All this creates multiple instances during which errors can occur.
Do not take the mechanics of your prescription transactions for granted and don’t assume nothing can go wrong. You can help ensure a medication error does not happen to you by knowing your medication and checking the label and actual pill. Medications have specified marks on them, such as the drug name, number, code and this identification is also noted on the prescription bottle. Additionally, make sure your doctor knows what other medications you are taking, and any allergies you may have. Ask him/her to write down “clearly and legible” what he/she is prescribing, the dosage, and any other important information. Share all this information with the pharmacist. Pharmacists receive much more information about prescription drugs than a doctor. Double check what you receive.
The best option if you have been a victim of a medication error is to contact an experienced attorney who can fully investigate your claim and determine if you have been the victim of pharmacy negligence. While waiting for the settlement of your case, you may go through an emotionally and financially difficult time. This is when lawsuit funding can be a powerful tool.
A lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial can help you with various expenses that come as part of the litigation process, such as loss of wages and medical expenses. This money is not provided against an asset; rather, it is given against the potential settlement of the case. Lawsuit funding ensures that your expenses are covered until your case reaches a settlement. This is not as same as a loan; you only pay the advance back if you win your case. If you lose your case, you are not obligated to repay the money. Let us help with your financial burdens until your lawsuit settles. Call us at 1-877-377- SUIT (7848) for a free consultation.

Stay Financially Afloat During Your Legal Battle With The Help Of Lawsuit Financial
Many people who have been injured and are in a personal
injury lawsuit find it hard to keep up financially. Paying even the everyday household expenses

to settle for far less than they deserve; after all, they are in business to
make money. Any offer can be an
attractive to a plaintiff who is desperate for cash. Lawsuit funding help plaintiffs avoid this, so
that they can pursue their case to a full and fair settlement, even if it takes
months or years.

of outstanding medical bills, rent/mortgage payments, utility bills and the day
to day cost of living. After receiving a funding application and important case
documentation, Lawsuit Financial will review your case and make a funding
decision within 48 hours. There is no need to worry about credit checks or employment
verification. We determine if you
qualify for funding based solely on the facts of your case. Furthermore, there
are no out of pocket fees or expenses to add to your financial problems. There
are no surprise costs, nothing hidden for you to learn later. We only collect when the case successfully
settles in our clients’ favor. Because lawsuit funding is no recourse, our
clients have peace of mind knowing that in the event they do not successfully
settle, they will not be obligated to repay the cash advance.
Don’t be forced to settle
your lawsuit for less than you deserve due to mounting financial obligations.

Gearing Up For A Safe Ride
The feeling of a warm day has
motorcyclists ready to ride. Unfortunately, history shows a rise in
temperatures also leads to a rise in crashes. Just this week, two people riding
a motorcycle were killed when their bike hit a minivan in an intersection.
Police said it appears the cyclists ran a red light, and neither victim was
wearing a helmet.
Motorcycle accidents occur for
numerous reasons, many of which can be prevented by taking the time to adopt
safe riding practices. The importance
of individual preparation for the new riding season is vastly underrated. Even
the most experienced riders have to re-acclimate themselves back on the roadway
after a long winter break. There are four basic factors to
consider to ensure your ride is less likely to end in a motorcycle accident:
your bike, your protective gear, your visibility, and how you ride.
- Maintain your Motorcycle. Check the bike before each ride including tire tread, air pressure, battery, headlights, oil and other fluids, frame and suspension.
- Dress to Ride. Wear protective eyewear and protective clothing (heavy-duty jacket and pants or riding suit, riding boots that cover the ankles, and gloves). Wear a helmet even if it is not required in your state. Generally speaking, those who wear a helmet suffer far fewer head injuries and/or are less seriously injured.
- Practice defensive riding. Position yourself to be seen. Avoid riding in blind spots, use turn signals, and be extra cautious when passing a vehicle.
- Ride safely. Follow the rules of the road. Obey speed limits and all traffic signals, and use hand signals for turning and slowing as well as your motorcycle’s turn signals and brake light. Don’t follow too closely and don’t weave in and out of lanes. Never ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Riders should ride only within their skill limits and consider proper training and refresher courses.
Bottom line -- motorcyclists have the same rights and privileges as other drivers. Increased awareness, especially as the weather is warming up will result in increased safety.

Product Recalls And Lawsuit Funding
A dangerous or
defective product is one that does not meet standards that we can reasonably
expect. Sometimes manufacturers are aware of the fault but fail to recall them
in time, some products are poorly designed or the result of a manufacturing
flaw. Some manufacturers fail to carry out adequate checks. When
situations like this occur, they often lead to serious personal injuries or deaths.
Several recalls were announced last
week, including two expansions on prior recalls.\
Dräger
Medical expanded a prior recall on ventilators used in hospitals as
well as during patient transport. The Evita V500 Ventilator provides constant
breathing support for adults and children, including premature babies weighing
at least 14 ounces. The Babylog VN500 provides constant breathing support for
premature babies weighing at least 14 ounces. Both ventilators are used in
hospitals or during patient transport. In December 2015, Dräger recalled the
PS500 battery power supply because a software issue causes shorter than
expected battery run times. It also prevents the appropriate alarm from
sounding 5 minutes before the battery runs out of power and the device shuts
down. If the ventilator shuts down, a patient may not receive necessary oxygen which could cause patient injury or
death. The FDA classified it as a Class I recall, the most serious type of
recall. Last week the company expanded the recall to include the PS500
Optional Power Supply units that were updated with new software as part of the
December recall. The company updated its software to
elongate the battery life of the ventilators, but the new software did not fix
the problem. Dräger Medical will now replace all affected PS500 power
supply units. The recall affects 2,501 units across the U.S.
Toyota
announced it is adding the 2008 Toyota Corolla, 2008 Toyota Matrix (also called
the Toyota Corolla Matrix), and the 2008-2010 Lexus SC430 to its list of recalled models due to involvement
of Takata airbags. An additional 198,000 vehicles were pulled this week.
Manufacturers
and retailers are responsible for taking reasonable steps to make sure that the
products they make and sell are as safe as possible. When an unsafe product
causes serious harm or death, a “products liability” suit may be appropriate.
This area of litigation is specialized, and can take years to settle. In order
to secure damages, an attorney must prove that the product contained
inherent design defects, was badly manufactured or assembled, or built in such
a way that safety features could fail or be dismantled. Manufacturers can also
be held liable for failure to warn consumers of potential harm from the product’s
intended use or likely use. In the meantime, manufacturers and retailers will go to great lengths to defend their
products, even when the dangers they caused are undeniable and could easily
have been avoided.
If you have been injured or lost a loved
one due to a dangerous or defective product, consult an attorney immediately.
If you are unable to work, bills are piling up, and important financial
obligations are being neglected because you don’t have the resources needed,
contact Lawsuit Financial. We can provide a timely solution to help
you with your financial difficulties.
Lawsuit funding helps even the
odds; the money gives you legal staying power to fight powerful manufacturers
and insurance companies and achieve the best possible result without worrying
about your bills. Lawsuit
funding is not a loan; it is a non-recourse cash advance that need not be
repaid if they lawsuit is not settled in your favor. The cash advance can be
used for anything you wish, but is typically to pay the mortgage, medical
expenses, funeral and burial costs, or ordinary household bills such as the
utilities and groceries. The application process is very simple. Your credit
score and employment are not considered we only care about the strength of your
case.
The process of applying for lawsuit
funding in case of product liability claims is very simple. You can calculate
the exact amount of funding required and also the monthly payments using our
cost calculators. The funding is also available for people with low or no
credit scores. Once we receive and application with applicable case
documentation, we can make a funding decision within 24 – 48 hours. Contact us online or call
1-877-377-SUIT (7848) for a product
liability lawsuit funding analysis.

An Attorney and Lawsuit Funding Can Add Value To Your Personal Injury Case
Studies have shown
that the majority of people do not fight for fair compensation in personal
injury auto accidents even when they suffer serious injuries. Why? More often
than not, they lack the financial resources to withstand a lengthy litigation
process. In simple terms, they do not have the time or money to fight for
justice. Their story goes something like this example:
A woman was in a serious auto accident resulting from a negligent driver. She suffered serious and debilitating injuries that precluding her from returning to work. To add insult to her injuries, her husband had been out of work for the past six months. Not only were they struggling to pay the medical bills, but they were behind on the mortgage and car payments; creditors were calling weekly. In the midst of her physical duress coupled with the emotional and financial pressures, she received a telephone call from the insurance company representing the person responsible for her accident. Despite knowing the offer to settle was low, she believed it would at least solve her immediate financial problems. She signed a release and received her check. Before she knew it, the money quickly evaporated. She was still seeking medical treatment and was unable to return to work; the bills continued out of control. Unfortunately, her case was gone - sacrificed for pennies on the dollar.
A better decision would have been to consult an experienced personal injury attorney. Hiring a personal injury attorney would have added more value to her case. Because attorneys handle cases on a contingency fee basis, there would have been no up-front obligations in retaining their services. While the attorney focused on obtaining the best settlement, she would have been able to focus on healing and doing whatever necessary to get back on her feet. After retaining an experienced attorney, she would be able to apply for lawsuit funding. For those unfamiliar with the term, lawsuit funding is a cash advance that helps with short-term financial needs during a pending claim. It exists to level the playing field and prevent insurance companies from forcing victims to settle too soon, for too little.
Lawsuit Financial is an experienced provider of lawsuit funding. We review case materials provided by the plaintiff’s attorney, and, if the case qualifies, provide immediate cash needed to wait out the long legal process. With lawsuit funding, the woman in the example above would have been able to pay her bills, focus on healing, and not worry about monthly payments; we wait until a case settles for our repayment. If the case is lost, our repayment is lost. We take the same risk as the attorney; we charge no fees unless our client collects compensation in his/her pending lawsuit.
Bottom line – never be forced into accepting an inadequate offer. With an experienced attorney and lawsuit funding, you do not have to fall victim a second time. If you or someone you know can benefit from our services, contact us today.

A better decision would have been to consult an experienced personal injury attorney. Hiring a personal injury attorney would have added more value to her case. Because attorneys handle cases on a contingency fee basis, there would have been no up-front obligations in retaining their services. While the attorney focused on obtaining the best settlement, she would have been able to focus on healing and doing whatever necessary to get back on her feet. After retaining an experienced attorney, she would be able to apply for lawsuit funding. For those unfamiliar with the term, lawsuit funding is a cash advance that helps with short-term financial needs during a pending claim. It exists to level the playing field and prevent insurance companies from forcing victims to settle too soon, for too little.
Lawsuit Financial is an experienced provider of lawsuit funding. We review case materials provided by the plaintiff’s attorney, and, if the case qualifies, provide immediate cash needed to wait out the long legal process. With lawsuit funding, the woman in the example above would have been able to pay her bills, focus on healing, and not worry about monthly payments; we wait until a case settles for our repayment. If the case is lost, our repayment is lost. We take the same risk as the attorney; we charge no fees unless our client collects compensation in his/her pending lawsuit.
Bottom line – never be forced into accepting an inadequate offer. With an experienced attorney and lawsuit funding, you do not have to fall victim a second time. If you or someone you know can benefit from our services, contact us today.

Patient Files Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Alleging Negligence During Gall Bladder Surgery
A medical
malpractice lawsuit was recently filed against Dr. James R. O’Donnell and
Advocate Health and Hospitals Corporation alleging the surgeon botched a
procedure to remove a patient’s gallbladder. The suit contends that during
surgery, Dr. O’Donnell allegedly severed the patient’s common bile duct then,
subsequently did not repair the mistake during surgery. As a result of the
alleged medical negligence, the plaintiff says he was subjected to additional
surgeries to repair the duct. He is seeking suitable compensation to cover the
cost of current and future medical treatments, as well as for pain and
suffering.
A settlement may not be reached for years. In the meantime, if the
plaintiff is faced with mounting medical expenses or struggling to meet ordinary
financial obligations as a result of his injuries, he may benefit from litigation funding.
Lawsuit Financial
is a pioneer in the legal funding industry. We understand that lack of capital
can force a valid case into premature settlement and deny an injured victim the
compensation he/she deserves. We also understand time is of the essence for financially
strapped plaintiff. Therefore, we offer a quick and easy application process, without
the need for a credit check or employment verification. Once the application is
received, one of our funding specialists contacts the plaintiff’s attorney for
case documentation. After reviewing the case, if approved for funding, the
plaintiff could be paying his/her bills within 24 – 48 hours. There are no
monthly payments; repayment is made once a settlement is reached. Best of all,
litigation funding is provided totally risk-free. Should the plaintiff lose his/her
case, he/she would owe us nothing.
If you or a family member has been injured by medical negligence,
you may be compensated for your medical bills, lost wages, and any physical
pain and suffering caused. However, if you are in need of financial resources
during litigation, Lawsuit Financial
can provide you with a lawsuit cash advance. Contact one of our funding
specialists at 1-877-377-7848 for a free, no-obligation consultation. We may have the mechanism
you need to pay your bills, keep your credit standing, and fight for your
rights.
