In The Right Situation, For The Right Plaintiff, Litigation Funding Is Clearly The Right Choice

A man and a teenage girl were killed in a hit-and-run crash that left five others injured, three critically. According to the Los Angeles police, the 55-year-old man was turning into a shopping mall when the Mitsubishi he was driving was struck by a Mercedes-Benz causing the Mitsubishi to hit a pole. It was unclear if the Mercedes-Benz driver ran a red light, but speed has been identified as a contributing factor. The driver of the Mercedes fled the scene on foot, but was arrested three days later. The crash is still under investigation.

Losing a loved one is an extremely difficult time for any family member affected by the tragedy. Quite probably, the injured victims and families of the deceased will in time file a lawsuit against the negligent driver.  While an experienced auto accident attorney can assist in investigating the accident and collecting full recovery, these types of lawsuits could take years to reach a settlement. One major problem is that the victims often times do not have the financial resources to pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, even the daily household bills. It becomes more difficult for those struggling without the financial support of a sole bread winner.

When money is tight, one solution is to secure litigation funding.  This type of cash advance is provided in exchange for a portion of the future proceeds of the case. At Lawsuit Financial, we provide funding on a non-recourse basis meaning there is no risk to our clients. Repayment is only made when the case successfully settles; if the case is lost, the repayment is waived. There are no restrictions on the money’s use and no credit checks or employment verification is required by the applicant. We only look at the strength of the case so applications can be approved in as little as 24 hours. Once approved, funds can be received by direct deposit or overnight mail.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one due to someone’s negligence, you may have the right to file a claim against the responsible party. Lawsuit Financial strongly encourages anyone who may find themselves in this situation to contact an experienced attorney to get started. If you need help locating one in your area, we would be happy to help. Once your lawsuit has been filed, we can evaluate your case for legal financing. In the right situation, for the right plaintiff, litigation funding is clearly the right choice for plaintiffs.

When You Are In A Pending Personal Injury Lawsuit, Learn What Lawsuit Financial Can Do To Help The Wait.

An auto accident can be a life-changing experience, and a personal injury lawsuit can last anywhere from a several months to several years. Even after it settles, plaintiffs may not see a settlement check for months, quite possibly years if there is an appeal. Most injury victims are unable to work and faced with mounting bills. The insurance company knows this and will use stall tactics to force the plaintiff to take the lowest possible settlement. If this sounds like your situation, why not apply for pre-settlement lawsuit funding? Instead of waiting months or years, you could have cash in hand within 48 hours.

Lawsuit funding is better than a bank loan. First of all, it is not a loan, but rather a no-risk cash advance against your injury claim. Secondly, you are under no obligation to repay the money if you do not win your case. Simply put – we assume all the risk. Additionally, there are no credit check or employment verification; funding is based solely on case strength.

The entire funding process can be handled over the phone, by fax, or email. After we receive a funding application, we will contact your attorney for case documentation. Once we receive the information from your attorney, if your case is approved, we can send the money via overnight mail or direct deposit. When the financial pressure is removed, your attorney has more time to achieve a fair settlement in your case.

Don’t wait for what seems like an eternity to get the settlement you deserve. Call Lawsuit Financial or complete our online funding application to get started. We are a small legal finance company that takes pride in personalized customer service; we don’t treat our clients like a number. And remember, if you don’t win or settle your case, you owe us nothing.

Leveling the Playing Field at the Core of Pre-Settlement Funding

When waiting for a case to settle is financially not an option, Lawsuit Financial may be able to provide a lawsuit cash advance. In a difficult time, you will appreciate the ease of the process and the fast results.

Have you have been injured due to the negligence of someone else? Are you unable to return to work? Are you facing serious financial trouble? Lawsuit Financial knows that the time it takes to reach a settlement can make matters even worse. When you need a financial lifeline to ease immediate cash problems, pre-settlement lawsuit funding may be the only solution.

Often referred to as a “lawsuit loan”, pre-settlement lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance against an anticipated settlement. This means if the case is lost, the cash is simply yours to keep with no strings attached. Pre-settlement funding is an important litigation tool because the legal system can often work slowly, and insurance companies and well-funded corporations take full advantage of these delays by denying and defending claims long enough to persuade plaintiffs to take pennies on the dollar. If an offer is made in a time a significant financial need such as when the plaintiff is behind on the mortgage, car or health insurance payments), a less-than-favorable settlement is likely to be accepted. With a well-placed cash advance, plaintiffs keep valuable assets safe, while giving their attorney time to achieve full case value.

Applying for lawsuit funding is quick and easy via our online application or by phone. We do not require credit checks or income verification. All we need is to confirm facts of the case with your attorney. If the case has merit, approval can be made as quickly as 24 hours. If you accept a cash advance from us, we will submit a contract for signature by you and your attorney, then overnight or wire transfer the funds to you. While most of our clients will use the cash advance to pay the mortgage, rent, car payments, groceries, tuition and other necessary expenses caused by death or serious injuries, there are no restrictions on how the funds are used. Remember, you pay nothing until you settle the case, at which time your attorney will send us a check from the case proceeds. You pay nothing directly out of your pocket. And, if the case is not resolved in your favor, you own us absolutely nothing!

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one due to the negligence of someone else, don’t let financial obligations force you to settle for less than you deserve. Consider pre-settlement lawsuit funding from Lawsuit Financial.

Domino’s Pizza Expected to Appeal $10 Million Jury Award in Wrongful Death Case

Where a person who causes a motor vehicle accident is acting within the course and scope of employment, there is potential for recovery of damages not only against the negligent driver, but also against the employer. While the lawsuit is proceeding through the court system, cash-strapped plaintiffs should consider lawsuit funding.

When a Domino's delivery driver attempted to merge into traffic, Richard Wiederhold swerved to avoid a collision. In doing so, Wiederhold lost control; his car flipped and hit a tree. Richard suffered a spinal cord injury that rendered him a quadriplegic. Yvonne, his then fiancé, escaped with non-life-threatening injuries. The pizza delivery driver was unharmed.

After Richard was released from the hospital, he and Yvonne got married. Yvonne wanted to Richard to know she would be by his side – no matter what. She took care of his daily needs, including feeding him through a tube and bathing him, until Richard passed away 15 months after the accident. The coroner said the cause his death was blood clots related to his paralysis.

The Wiederhold’s initially filed a personal injury lawsuit. Because the case was still pending when Richard died, it was transformed into a wrongful death lawsuit. Five years later a jury has determined that Domino's Pizza was responsible for the actions of its franchisees, including the negligent driving practices of the delivery driver, and awarded $10.1 Million in the wrongful death lawsuit. Although Domino's had previously agreed to pay for Richard's medical expenses, a company spokesperson said Domino’s is petitioning for a new trial because the driver was an employee of an independent franchise owner and did not work for Domino’s Pizza LLC. If a new trial is denied, he said Domino's intends to appeal.

The Wiederhold case is a perfect candidate for lawsuit funding, a financial tool that gives plaintiffs the staying power to wait for a fair settlement. It may be the only financial lifeline to paying life-long medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage, and other important bills.

Lawsuit funding requires no application fee, monthly payments, credit check, or employment verification. Best of all, it is a non-recourse cash advance meaning that Wiederhold would only repay the cash advance once she receives the settlement. If there is a new trial or appeal, and if she would lose, the repayment would be waived in its entirety. That is because Lawsuit Financial assumes all the risk.

If you or a family member have been directly affected by an auto accident and struggling financially while awaiting a settlement, call Lawsuit Financial or complete an online application for a free case funding evaluation. After reviewing your application and applicable case documentation from your attorney, if approved, funds are usually available within 24 – 48 hours. With lawsuit funding, there is no reason to struggle financial, risk your credit standing, or settle your case too soon or for too little.

Rail Worker Dies Because Company Continued To Cut Corners And Ignore Safety Rules

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthy workplaces for their employees. Failing to do so can result in serious or deadly consequences. Additionally, failure to ensure compliance with, or simply ignoring, OSHA regulations can result in hefty monetary fines, as well as possible criminal prosecution.

Federal investigators recently concluded that routine safety precautions may have saved the life of a worker at the Port of New Orleans Rail Yard who suffocated inside of a chemical tank on October 8, 2015. Three men on a cleaning team were working inside the tank when they became deprived of oxygen. One worker managed to escape and call for help. When firefighters arrived, the other two men were pulled from the tanker; one was semi- conscious and responded to oxygen, the other was unresponsive and without a pulse. All three workers were taken to the hospital where the unresponsive man later died. He left behind six children.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) found Dedicated Tank Cleaning Services (TCS) failed to test the air quality inside the tanker before the three employees entered the tank, and failed to mandate that the workers attach a lifeline to their harnesses to allow a rescue. This is the fourth time OSHA has found Dedicated TCS in violation of federal safety standards. In April 2012, the agency issued eight serious violations at the company's location in Channahon, IL. In May 2012, inspectors found nine serious and two willful violations at its Lansing, IL location. Another Channahon investigation in July 2014, resulted in four serious and seven repeat violations. The prior violations resulted in penalties exceeding $221,000.

In the latest incident, Dedicated TCS faces $226,310 in fines for two willful, three repeat and four serious violations. “Willful violations can lead to criminal charges. The company has 15 business days from receipt of its citations to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA’s area director, or contest the citations and penalties before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

In addition to the fines and a potential criminal lawsuit, Dedicated TCS could face civil lawsuits as well. Such cases often take years to settle. The tragedy alone often has a financial impact on victims especially when the family's principal means of support is gone. Strategic lawsuit financing can remove financial pressure to settle early and cheap so that victims receive the compensation they deserve.

Lawsuit funding is based solely on the merits of the case; credit rating or job status does not matter. The application process is simple and if approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be available within 24 - 48 hours. After a plaintiff’s application has been approved, lawsuit funding dollars are sent quickly and expeditiously either by wire or by check. When the plaintiff receives that money, they immediately pay off their medical bills, funeral expenses, or any other costs associated with the accident and/or deal with their usual regular financial obligations. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if the plaintiff loses the case, repayment is completely excused.

If you are in a pending personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit and need financial assistance, lawsuit funding might be a good fit for you. Contact Lawsuit Financial! We will evaluate the prospects for case success and potential case value and fund an amount that comfortably fits within that value.

Lawsuit Funding Makes a Difference in a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

There are very few events in one’s life as catastrophic as learning of the wrongful death of a loved one. A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or carelessness of another person, company or entity. Any act of negligence - an auto accident, pedestrian accident, medical malpractice, nursing home abuse, defective product - that results in death is a potential wrongful death lawsuit. Knowing your rights is one thing; pursuing justice is another.

An experienced attorney can help plaintiffs understand the legal ramifications and pursue justice on their behalf. Once a lawsuit is filed, Lawsuit Financial can review the case and determine if lawsuit funding is a viable option.

We understand that a family will be going through a difficult time. Not only are they grieving, but they may be faced with financial issues. With a lawsuit cash advance, plaintiffs can take care of immediate financial needs such as funeral and burial expenses, mortgage payments, etc. We also know that time is of the essence, which is why we typically fund cases within 24 – 48 hours of receiving a funding application and associated case documentation.

The application process is free and easy; there are no credit checks or employment verification. Best of all, we assume all the risks; should the plaintiff lose the case, there is no obligation to repay the cash advance. Call Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377-7848 or visit us online for a free, no-obligation consultation or to apply for lawsuit funding. Let us take care of the financial aspect out of your case so you can focus on healing.

Lawsuit Funding Stops The Unfair Settlement Game

A serious car accident can make life difficult on many levels. There is no end to the hurdles one must jump through to simply get back to a place of physical recovery and/or financial stability. Most people do not have expendable income to buy a new car or cover unexpected medical expenses, at least not without feeling a financial burden. To add insult to injury, the insurance companies know how to play the “claims game.” They have a vested interest in spending as little money as possible and are notorious for denying and delaying claims in hopes that the plaintiff will eventually “give in” to a low settlement offer just to pay the bills.

You don’t have to be at the mercy of an insurance company that puts their own financial agenda before your needs. To get the compensation you deserve, it is important to retain an experienced auto accident attorney who will fight on your behalf. But, acquiring legal representation is just the first step. Lawsuits often take time and money; we are talking months or years to reach a settlement. This is not a problem for insurance companies and large corporations, but is a long time for someone seriously injured, unable to work, and in need of cash to make ends meet financially. The result is often an unfair settlement for the plaintiff because they are not familiar with lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a financial solution to level the playing field for plaintiffs who have immediate cash needs, but can’t qualify for a traditional bank loan. A lawsuit cash advance can help with outstanding medical bills, mortgage/rent payments, utility bills and day-to-day cost of living. Actually, there are no restrictions on how a lawsuit cash advance can be used.

After receiving your funding application (online or over the phone), Lawsuit Financial will contact your attorney on your behalf to request the documentation/materials related to your case. If your case is approved for funding, and you sign a contract, we will wire transfer or overnight funds within 24 – 48 hours. It is important to note that there are no upfront fees, no credit checks, no monthly payments, and no collateral required. Our funding decisions are based strictly on the strength of your case. Once your case successfully settles, we are repaid from the settlement; not a day sooner. Best of all, lawsuit funding is absolutely NO RISK to you because if you lose your case, you keep the money and owe us nothing.

Don’t be forced to settle your lawsuit for a less than you deserve due to mounting financial obligations. Let the experienced staff at Lawsuit Financial help you secure the cash you need, when you need it most.

Same Plane, Same Freeway, Different Outcome

A small plane that made headlines when it landed safely on a Southern California freeway 16 years ago crashed on the same stretch of road Saturday, slamming into a car and killing a passenger in the backseat of the vehicle. Five other people were injured, including the pilot and a passenger aboard the plane.

According to witnesses, the single-engine, two-seat Lancair IV plane appeared to be having issues before turning sharply and coming down on Interstate 15, about 50 miles north of San Diego. One man said he didn't hear the plane's engine as it passed overhead.

The driver of the auto had pulled over to synchronize his Bluetooth when the plane crash landed on the freeway, sliding 250 feet and slamming into the back of his Nissan. The impact pushed the rear bumper nearly all the way into the back seat of the vehicle. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) said there was no evidence landing gear was deployed; it appears the plane had mechanical problems. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) are investigating the crash; officials said it is unclear whether there was a black box on the plane.

Interstate 15 is a popular route for flying because there are fewer flight restrictions than along the Interstate 5 corridor, but the fly zone has had its fair share of emergency landings. That same stretch of highway has been the site of several similar incidents in the past, according to CHP Officer Chris Parent. Matt Nokes, a former MLB player and original owner of the Lancair IV, was piloting the plane on its second flight in February 2000 when the engine quit and he safely landed on the busy freeway. According to Nokes, a fuel problem led to that crash, but he never learned what caused the problem. Nokes went on to fly the plane regularly before selling it in 2004. Dennis Hogge, the pilot in the recent crash, is the plane’s registered owner, although FAA records show the plane’s registration had expired.

Did pilot error cause or contribute to the accident? Was there a mechanical problem, known or unknown? Was the aircraft properly maintained and inspected? If investigators determine that this accident resulted from defective equipment or poor maintenance, the owner of the plane, parts manufacturers, and/or inspectors could be held liable.

Aircraft accidents lawsuits can typically take years before a verdict or settlement is reached. Lawsuit Financial understands that when bills pile up, waiting for a fair settlement may be difficult. Accepting a less-than-favorable settlement may appear the best solution to move on as quickly as possible and maintain financial responsibilities. For this reason, pre-settlement litigation funding has become a better alternative to may paying the mortgage, car payments, and other necessary expenses, such as medical expenses and funeral and burial costs.

Litigation funding is money given in advance of an expected settlement or jury verdict; funding is strictly based on the strength and merits of the case. The funding application takes less than five minutes to complete and requires no credit check or employment history, no upfront fees or costs, and not monthly payments. Once a case is approved for funding, the cash advance can be sent by check or wire within 24-48 hours. Most importantly, the money is provided on a non-recourse basis, meaning if the case is lost the repayment is completely waived.

If you or a loved one has been involved in an airplane accident, you may be entitled to compensation for damages. Lawsuit Financial Corporation has more combined litigation and litigation funding experience than any other company in the lawsuit finance marketplace. We work fast to approve your funding application because we know time is of the essence. Contact us today to learn more or to apply for immediate financial relief.
