Protect Your Valuable Assets and Save Your Valuable Case with Lawsuit Funding

You were seriously injured in an auto accident. The insurance company is denying your claim, so you consult an attorney who ultimately takes your case. After you've hired that lawyer and decided not to give up, you begin to wonder: "How am I going to pay my bills? How can I fight this huge, well-financed and powerful insurance company when I can't work and have no income or savings?"

Lawsuit Funding can be a valuable tool for plaintiffs and, if used correctly and strategically, can be a revenue enhancement tool. One example I like to use to demonstrate this point is the case of a Detroit, Michigan woman who was seriously injured in an auto-truck crash when the truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and suddenly veered into her lane. She suffered serious and disabling injuries, as well as emotional trauma due to the extent of the accident. One of her children was killed. This mother was a physically and emotionally unable to work, and unable to otherwise support herself, her kids, and her case. Her bills and expenses began to accrue and her house payments were several months behind. The bank even threatened foreclosure. The insurance company offered $500,000 to settle her case. Instead, her lawyer recommend lawsuit funding. After her case was carefully reviewed, a series of lawsuit cash advances were recommended. The first, $30,000, went to pay her past due mortgage bills and other important obligations. Because physical and emotional issues continued to disable her from working, the funding company worked with her to create a monthly draw equal to her monthly expenses. Less than a year later, the case resolved for $2.1 million; the lawsuit funding advance was repaid from the case proceeds.

This case underscores the need for, and power of, lawsuit financing in serious injury and wrongful death litigation. Lawsuit funding is a great equalizer; the money that cash-strapped plaintiffs need to get from an earlier stage in the lawsuit to its conclusion. A well-placed non-recourse cash advance will often prevent the plaintiff from being forced to settle early and cheap; it levels the playing field and gives plaintiffs the staying power to slay Goliath.

How is lawsuit funding different from a traditional bank loan? First of all, there is no credit check or credit 'hit'. Employment history is also not required. Unlike a traditional bank loan, there are no monthly payments which would only increase a plaintiff’s financial distress. Most importantly, unlike a traditional bank loan which must be paid back no matter what, a lawsuit cash advance is only repaid if the case succeeds. If the case fails, the litigation funding company loses its capital investment; the plaintiff owes nothing!

There are many legal finance companies to choose from. If you are seeking lawsuit funding, make sure you do your homework and compare funding companies. If one seeks to assert control over the litigation in question, that is an unethical practice and, probably, a breach of the contract. Further, an ethical lawsuit funding company will not seek profit at a level that prevents fair settlement. The ethical lawsuit funding company will provide an appropriate compromise, when necessary, to facilitate a fair settlement to all.

Lawsuit Financial provides lawsuit funding for most personal injury and wrongful death cases, disability cases and other insurance cases. We have more combined litigation and litigation funding experience than any other company in the lawsuit finance marketplace. Even if you are considering lawsuit funding from another company, call us at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) for a free, no-obligation consultation regarding your lawsuit and your lawsuit finance situation. The call is free and the advice could protect your valuable assets and, above all, save your valuable case.

After Teen Dies In Fatal Auto Accident, Lawsuit Filed By Family Is Stalled

Might a case like this be a viable candidate for lawsuit funding? Possibly.

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) hired a contractor to resurface a road. On August 14, 2012, signs were staked in the ground warning that road work was occurring. During the daytime, temporary signs were added to alert drivers. The temporary signs were removed every evening.

On August 24, 2012, the contracting company opened the road for weekend traffic, but only the staked signs were in place; the temporary signs were once again removed. After much weekend rain, on Sunday afternoon DelDOT crews made repairs to potholes that had developed on the same road. At approximately 11 p.m. that evening, a fatal crash occurred when a teen driver lost control of her vehicle, spun off the road and hit a tree. The driver was injured; her 17-year-old passenger was killed.

Families of both teens filed lawsuits against DelDOT and the contractor. The suits argued that the permanent warning signs were insufficient to alert motorists of the serious dangers of traveling the road while it was undergoing repairs. The judge ruled that the contractor followed their contract with DelDOT and was not negligent. In regards to DelDOT, he ruled that the state agency is protected from liability under the principle of "sovereign immunity," which in most cases prevents people from suing the government for punitive damages. The judge also noted that the claims filed about the family of the deceased teen against the driver were unaffected by the ruling.

A personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit can take years before a settlement is reached. While some people have enough savings to keep them financially stable, many are barely getting by. Most are struggling with ordinary household expenses, and to add hospital and medical bills without a steady income often times plaintiffs to accept a low-ball offer from the insurance company. Instead, they could benefit from lawsuit funding.

A lawsuit cash advance is a way for plaintiffs to borrow money, risk-free, before their case settles. There is no risk because if the lawsuit is unsuccessful, the plaintiff is under no obligation to repay the cash advance.

The two requirements to be eligible for lawsuit funding is a pending personal injury lawsuits that was caused by the negligence of another, and attorney representation. If you meet these qualifications, you are eligible to apply for a lawsuit cash advance.

When applying for lawsuit funding, plaintiffs do not need good credit and we do not evaluate assets. Can’t work because of your injuries? That is not a problem either. At Lawsuit Financial, our funding is provided solely on case strength and the expected settlement. Because we are a direct funding company, there are no third parties to consult in the approval process. This means we can make funding decisions typically within 24 – 48 hours.

Teen Killed In Pedestrian-Auto Accident Blocks From School

Pedestrian accidents may be the most devastating of all automobile related accidents, because they involve at least one person on foot, unprotected by a vehicle, seat belts, and airbags. When a car collides with a pedestrian, there is an extremely high potential for serious injury, even death.

While the driver is often to blame when a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, it isn't always the motorists' fault. Pedestrians can also cause accidents. Determining fault can sometimes be a complicated process. Did the driver run a red light? Was the driver speeding? Was the driver distracted? Did the pedestrian wander out into traffic while texting? Could either person have avoided the accident?

A 17-year-old Minnesota boy was struck and killed while crossing a county highway in Minnetonka, just blocks from school. The Minnesota State Patrol reported that around 6:20 a.m., a Nissan Munro traveling westbound hit the teen as he crossed the highway; he was not in a crosswalk or at an intersection when he was hit. The teen died at the scene. The driver and a passenger were not injured.

This tragedy is a good time to reiterate these pedestrian safety tips.

• Cross the street only at intersections or marked crosswalks
• Do not cross in the middle of a street or between cars
• Continuously watch for traffic while crossing the street
• Avoid walking on roads without sidewalks and crosswalks
• Always look both ways before crossing the street – even if it is not a busy intersection
• Do not assume that cars are driving slowly enough for you to cross or for them to stop
• Do not run or dash into the street

The investigation is ongoing. If the motorist is determined to have been at least partially at fault, the family of the deceased teen may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. While a lawsuit may be the furthest thing from the family’s mind in the devastating aftermath, seeking legal counsel and determining one’s rights is crucial. A personal injury attorney can help determine who may be at fault, and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for damages.

Unfortunately, the legal process can drag on for years. In order to wait for a fair settlement, yet avoid experiencing a shortfall in finances that could lead to a significant financial hardship, a plaintiff may benefit from litigation funding.

Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance meaning if the plaintiff loses his/her case, repayment is excused. The only eligibility requirements are attorney representation and a strong case. Applying for funding takes less than five minutes. There are no application fees, credit checks, employment history verifications, or monthly payments. Once we received the application and supporting documentation, a funding decision can be made within 24 – 48 hours.

If you are seriously injured or lose a loved one in a pedestrian-auto accident that was not your fault (or, was only partially your fault), you may be able to recover damages for medical bills, loss wages, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, loss of financial support, and funeral expenses. Contact a personal injury attorney who specializes in handling pedestrian accidents. After seeking legal representation, if you are in need help with your short-term financial needs, contact Lawsuit Financial.

Victims of Drunk Driving Accidents Can Protect Their Assets with Litigation Funding

The selfish decision to drink and drive can change lives forever! In many cases, the offender walks away with minor injuries or no injuries and receives an insignificant punishment or is sentenced to a few months in jail. On the other hand, the victim and/or their family will struggle emotionally, physically, and financially. As if that wasn’t enough, waiting out the litigation process can be paralyzing. In times like this, auto accident litigation funding is a good option. Here is a recent tragic accident that may benefit from the legal services at Lawsuit Financial.

Two Farmington, Missouri motorcyclists were killed after a pick-up truck crossed the center line on a curve, colliding with their motorcycle head-on, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The impact threw the couple from the motorcycle; they were pronounced dead at the scene. Both were wearing helmets. The truck driver was not injured. He was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and faces two counts of involuntary manslaughter. The crash happened at approximately 3:30 p.m. Sunday, on Highway 72 in Bollinger County.

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. Such cases can take months, even years to settle.

While all the precautions in the world can’t protect you against someone who consciously drinks and drives, Lawsuit Financial can protect your assets while you await a settlement or trial. Litigation funding is an emergency cash advance to assist qualified plaintiffs who are struggling to make ends meet due to injury or death caused by an auto accident. All that is required to be eligible for funding is attorney representation and a case with merit. Simply complete an online application and Lawsuit Financial will do the rest. Unlike a traditional bank loan, lawsuit funding is not a loan. Personal credit has no bearing on our funding decision, and you don’t need to be employed. Furthermore, there are no monthly payments. We are repaid only when the case successfully settles. If you don’t win your case, you don’t repay the cash advance – no strings attached.

Lawsuit Financial is one of the country's most experienced providers of litigation funding services. We work directly with your attorney to gather needed information to process your funding request quickly, typically within 48 hours.

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 Wrongful Death Lawsuit In Breckenridge Ski Resort Crash

On April 4, 2016, a New Jersey man was on vacation with his family at the Breckenridge Ski Resort at the same time a New Hampshire ski team was training for an upcoming competition.  Around noon, the man was on the Tiger double black diamond when a 16-year-old from the ski team crashed into him. Ski patrol provided emergency care to the New Jersey man, but he succumbed to his injuries and died at the hospital.

Now, his widow is suing the teen, his mother, and the ski team, coach and sponsor. The wrongful death lawsuit claims the teen was out of control and skiing too fast for the conditions when the incident occurred. The complaint also alleges that the ski coach and team were negligent in their supervision and subsequent actions.

In addition to grief this family suffered, they may also be facing medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and loss of income due to this tragic accident. A solution for their financial difficulties could come in the form of litigation funding, often times referred to as a “lawsuit loan”.

Litigation funding is an emergency cash advance that allows plaintiffs in financial straits to get back on their feet while waiting for their case to be settled or to go to court. One of the benefits of a lawsuit cash advance is the fact that plaintiffs do not have to deal with insurance companies who want them to settle for far less than they could expect in court. Insurance companies are not in the business to settle high. They want to reduce, diminish or dismiss as many claims as possible. Secondly, litigation funding is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means that repayment is only made once the case successfully settles. If the plaintiff loses, repayment of the cash advance is completely waived.

To qualify for litigation funding, a plaintiff needs attorney representation and a case with merit. After Lawsuit Financial receives a funding application, we will contact the plaintiff’s attorney for basic case documentation. A cooperative attorney is vital to the process, not only as to whether a plaintiff is funded, but how quickly funding can be determined. Because funding approval is dependent entirely on the strength of your case, there are no other criteria. Credit standing, job status, asset to debt ratios -- none of this matters. If the application is approved, the money can be wired directly to his/her bank account within 24 – 48 hours. There are no stipulations as to how the funds are used, but we encourage our clients to pay immediate medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, mortgage, utilities, or any other necessary financial obligations.

More and more attorneys are embracing this service because we provide litigants with staying power to see litigation through to a just conclusion. Contact Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377-7848 today to learn how we can help you benefit from litigation funding.

Improper Diagnosis and Treatment For Heart Patient Fell Short

When we enter the hospital we expect that the health care provider will do everything necessary to treat our condition. If a doctor does not provide proper treatment, it can lead to serious complications or, as in the following case, the death of the patient. For example, heart attacks are one of the most fatal injuries. A doctor’s failure to evaluate and perform specific tests to rule out heart attacks is essential. If not treated properly the risk of a fatal heart attack greatly increases.

A medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed against Rush University Medical Center claiming that negligent treatment resulted in a patient’s death.

According to the suit, the man entered the hospital with chest pains. Despite the doctor requesting testing, he did not request cardiac testing and therefore failed to diagnose a serious heart condition. The man was discharged, but later suffered a heart attack and died. The lawsuit alleges that the doctor was negligent by failing to diagnose the patient’s medical problem and failing to order the proper tests. Had the doctor done so, the patient could have been properly treated.

When someone’s death is caused by an undiagnosed heart attack, the surviving family members are often left wondering what could have been done. In many cases, further actions could have been taken to save the patient which is why the majority of medical malpractice lawsuits are the result of medical errors in diagnosis.

Plaintiffs in a medical malpractice lawsuit can seek compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Once a lawsuit is filed, litigation funding can help combat mounting bills during a potentially long legal battle.

A lawsuit cash advance can ensure that this family’s bills are paid until the case reaches a settlement. Litigation funding is not provided against assets; it is against the potential settlement of the case. That means there is no need for a credit check or employment verification. The cash advance is simply repaid once the case successfully settles. If the family applies for, and receives a lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial, but loses their case, we would not require repayment. That is because we assume all the risks when funding clients.

If you have lost a loved one due to a medical misdiagnosis, filed a lawsuit, and in need of immediate funds, you may qualify for litigation funding. Apply today and see if Lawsuit Financial can put you in a position to negotiate the settlement they deserve. We guarantee a case recovery equal to the amount of money we advance. For further information on our unique legal funding programs, call Lawsuit Financial toll-free at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848), or visit us online. You could receive financial assistance within 24 – 48 hours.

Teen Killed While Standing On Shoulder of Florida's Turnpike

A 16-year-old Apopka, Florida boy was struck and killed by a car while standing on the right shoulder of the Florida turnpike, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

Moments before he was hit, the teen was involved in a fender bender accident with another motorist. He turned on the emergency flashers and was standing on the passenger’s side of his vehicle when he was hit by a Nissan. He died at the scene. The driver of the vehicle that struck the teen said she had fallen asleep behind the wheel. She was treated at the hospital for minor injuries. The crash is still under investigation.

Falling asleep while driving is an all too common occurrence. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), an estimated 100,000 police-reported crashes are the direct result of driver fatigue each year. The result is approximately 1,550 deaths and 71,000 injuries. Because not everyone reports all sleep-caused accidents, the actual number is most likely much higher.

Proving negligence in driver fatigue accidents is quite difficult unless the driver admits he/she fell asleep at the wheel. Whether the negligent driver admits fault or not, in order to seek compensation the victim will need to provide evidence to support a personal injury or wrongful death claim. The best way to pursue such claims is to consult an experienced attorney.

Let’s assume that an attorney takes this case but the family has been advised that a settlement may realistically take one to two years. Let’s also assume that the family has unpaid funeral and burial expenses, in addition to their normal monthly household bills. What can they do to avoid debt?

After retaining an attorney and beginning their pursuit of the litigation, this family may be interested in lawsuit funding. Lawsuit funding allows the plaintiff to obtain justice without coming up short financially because the insurance company delayed and refused the claim as long as possible.

There is no cost to apply for lawsuit financing, no hassles, no credit check, no upfront fees and no monthly payments. If the plaintiff qualifies for a lawsuit cash advance, the money can be available within 24 – 48 hours by check or wire.

If you find yourself in a similar situation, you may benefit from lawsuit funding.This legal finance service is not for everyone, but when you are facing financial hardship, our financing can be a very powerful tool. Don’t settle for less than you deserve; contact Lawsuit Financial to determine if lawsuit funding is an option for you.

Lawsuit Funding Helps Personal Injury Claim Victims Seek Justice

Thousands of people suffer from a personal injury each year, and while you might want to imagine that it could never happen to you or someone you love, it can. The most common types of personal injury claims -- a means for an injured person to collect damages if he/she is injured by the actions or negligence or another person or entity -- are auto accidents, slip and falls, and defective products. When this is the case, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation in the form of a settlement.

Depending on the type and the severity of the injury, medical expenses can reach thousands of dollars or more, pain and suffering can last years and some injuries can put a victim out of work for life. Although you may have insurance to cover some medical expenses, it may not be enough.

Personal injury claims are designed to help victims seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, long or short term disabilities, but may also seek redress for emotional or psychological injuries. Even if the injuries incurred are minor and temporary, filing a personal injury claim may award substantial restitution, and in some cases, the victim may seek punitive damages. It is in your best interest to find an experienced attorney knowledgeable in your type of injury and who can help determine whether or not you should pursue your personal injury claim or lawsuit, and if so, your case value including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Whether you file a claim or lawsuit, you will need to provide proof of medical expenses, missed days of work, medical records, police reports and anything else that proves the severity of your injuries. The insurance company uses this information to process a claim amount. A claim is between both involved parties and their insurance company, who will disperse the amount of money they feel your injury is worth. If, however, you feel your injuries are worth more than the settlement offer, you may choose to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit is not about greed, but justice and receiving fair compensation; it can also help prevent such negligence from being repeated. Unfortunately, many times these lawsuits will take months, even years to resolve. When injury victims feel forced, by financial circumstances, to consider settlements too early and for too little, they should contact Lawsuit Financial.

Lawsuit Financial knows about financial pressures from insurance companies and deep pocket defendants who have all the time and money in the world. Insurance companies and their attorneys are not injured, they are not missing work. Settlement or not, they can feed their families and take care of life's necessities. We can provide plaintiffs with lawsuit funding to take care of life's necessities (mortgage, rent, food, utilities, gas, car payments, medical expenses, transportation, etc) to reduce the financial pressures of an early settlement.

Lawsuit funding is not a “lawsuit loan.” There are not credit checks, employment verification, upfront fees or monthly payments, and it is not paid back, until the plaintiffs successfully settles. Should the plaintiff lose the case, we completely waive repayment of the cash advance. If the case qualifies, funding can be available within 24 hours.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in an auto accident, it is important to seek legal advice. Once the lawsuit is filed, if you are in need of fast cash, simply complete an online application or call our office, toll-free 1-877-377-SUIT. Our professional pro-justice staff is here to help answer your questions and process your application as quickly as possible.

Couple Sues Hospital Over Slip-and-Fall Accident

A couple has filed a lawsuit against Cabell Huntington Hospital, Inc. alleging that the hospital breached its duty to provide a safe environment to the public.

According to the complaint, the woman suffered injuries needing medical treatment when she slipped and fell on a freshly mopped floor. The plaintiffs hold the hospital responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to properly maintain its premises, failed to warn the public of the unsafe and dangerous condition and failed to properly train and supervise its employees. They request a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in compensation for damages.

It is not uncommon for a slip and fall claim to take a year or more to make its way through the litigation process. Unfortunately, timing is important for victims, especially if faced with lost wages and mounting medical expenses. Lawsuit funding is a means to handle immediate medical expenses and other costs related to the woman’s accident, as well as other financial obligations. A lawsuit cash advance would allow this couple to wait for a much higher settlement or court verdict instead of feeling forced to settle for an inadequate offer.

A lawsuit cash advance cost nothing to apply; if approved, the money can be available within 24 – 48 hours.

When Lawsuit Financial invests in a lawsuit, we only look at the strength of the case. We don’t care about credit history, collateral or employment status; we also do not require monthly payments. That is why we can often times approve an application in as little as 24 hours. While there are no contingencies on how the money is spent, it is typically used to pay the mortgage/rent, medical bills and daily household expenses. We require no payments until the case settles. Most importantly, our funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning that if this couple should lose their case, there is no obligation to pay us back.

If you are the victim of a slip and fall accident and experiencing financial problems while waiting for your case to settle, don’t allow defendants to use 3D tactics - deny, delay, and defend - as a means of discouraging you from pursuing compensation. As soon as you file your case in court, with the help of an attorney, you’re eligible to apply for lawsuit funding. Call Lawsuit Financial today to learn more and to begin the steps to immediate financial freedom

West Virginia Woman Files Auto Accident Lawsuit Claiming Defendant Failed to Yield Right-of-Way

Failure-to-yield auto accidents are often complex; determining fault is difficult. The at-fault driver and the insurance company will typically not admit fault. Sometimes, the party that is actually at-fault is hit by the innocent victim’s vehicle leading to confusion, a more detailed investigation, and often times a lengthy litigation process. When the innocent victim suffers serious injuries, paying the bills can be a problem especially if the victim is unable to work. At times like this, litigation funding can be a financial life-saver.

A West Virginia woman recently filed a lawsuit alleging driver negligence in an October 2014 auto accident.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that the defendant negligently turned in front of her when it was not safe to do so and failed to yield right-of-way and turned left in front of her car causing a collision. The plaintiff claims that as a result of the crash she suffered pain, lost wages, physical limitations and medical expenses. She requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment against the defendant for compensatory damages, punitive damages, and other expenses as a result of her injuries.

Lawsuit Financial understands the financial challenges victims like this face after a serious auto accident. We offer litigation funding, a cash advance against a pending claim to assist plaintiffs dealing with the financial struggles that come with a lengthy litigation process.

Often times termed “lawsuit loans,” litigation funding is not a loan in the traditional sense. First of all, the only requirements to qualify is attorney representation and a case that has merit. Creditworthiness is not a factor in the approval process, nor is employment history. Unlike most other forms of financing, such as a bank loan or credit card cash advance, litigation funding also does not require monthly payments. Instead, repayment is made once the case settles and the funds disbursed. Additionally, litigation funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, meaning that if the case is lost, the litigation funding is not repaid.

Once the plaintiff applies and we receive case documentation from his/her attorney, our in-house underwriters will review the case. If approved we can wired a check directly into the plaintiff’s bank account within 24 – 48 hours. While the cash advance is typically for medical bills, mortgage/rent, utilities, or any other costs, the plaintiff has the right to use the funds anyway he/she wishes.

Have you been seriously injured due to someone else’s negligence in an auto accident? Are you struggling financially to make ends meet? If so, call a Lawsuit Financial for a free, no-obligation consultation. It is important to advise your attorney of your financial situation and desire to seek financial assistance from a funding company in order to obtain funds as quickly as possible.

Two Children Killed in Five-Vehicle Warrenton, Missouri Crash Due To Drunk Driver

Study-after-study has shown that distracted driving from cell phone use hampers reaction time as much as a drunk driver with a blood alcohol level of 0.08. Just as with drunk driving, distracted driving causes the driver to take his focus off the road for seconds at a time and, therefore, impairs driving ability. The distracted driver loses his ability to drive defensively--in similar fashion to how driving under the influence can diminish response times; a split-second lag time in hitting the brakes can have deadly consequences. Here is a tragic car crash resulting from a driver not only looking down at his phone, but also driving while intoxicated.

A drunk driving accident took the lives of two Warrenton, Missouri children as the Labor Day weekend was coming to an end. The children, 7 and 13-years-of-age, were pronounced dead at the scene. Both their parents were hospitalized in serious condition.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the family’s Hyundai Elantra was rear-ended by a Cadillac Escalade while they were traveling eastbound on I-70 near Blue Springs. The Escalade then hit an Acura, pushing it into two other vehicles. The driver of the Escalade and the occupants of the three other vehicles were not seriously injured. Everyone involved was wearing a seat belt.

The negligent driver told police he was on his way home with cruise control on. He said he looked down at his phone to change a song, and was still looking down at the time of the crash. The man also admitted that he had been drinking prior to the collision, but refuse to give a breathalyzer test. Two blood samples were later taken. He faces two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree assault, driving while intoxicated and driving with a revoked license.

A personal injury attorney can stand up for the rights of seriously injured victims, or family member who lost a loved one due to a distracted and/or drunk driver. Often times, achieving maximum compensation can take months, even years. Unfortunately, the wait can send victims into financial ruin. For example, in this tragic accident, the family will incur funeral and burial expenses for the two children, as well as medical expenses for the parents. Depending on the parent’s recovery, they could incur costs associated with physical therapy and rehabilitation, disability, or a host of other expenses. They will most likely need a new car. All this will be in addition to their ordinary living expenses. What if they are out of work for months or indefinitely? What if they have little savings? To help them cope financially until a lawsuit settlement, the family can apply for pre-settlement lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit Financial understands the financial situation facing plaintiffs and knows the lengths that insurance companies will go through to reach a less-than-fair settlement offer. With a lawsuit cash advance, plaintiffs can level the playing field and push for justice.

Funding is based solely by the strength of the pending lawsuit. Unlike a bank loan, we do not require upfront fees, credit checks or employment verification, nor do we require monthly payments. We are repaid from the proceeds of the case, but if the case is lost we completely waive repayment of the cash advance.

If you are in a pending lawsuit and struggling financially, let Lawsuit Financial help you get back financial control of your life, allowing time for the justice system to work in your case. The application process is quick and easy, and can be done online or call our office at 1-877-377-7848 for a free, no-obligation evaluation of your case.

Preschoolers Crash Trying To Drive To Grandma’s House

They can't even see over the steering wheel let alone reach the pedals - but a couple of preschoolers who wanted to visit grandma’s house decided to take mom's car and drive themselves there!They can't even see over the steering wheel let alone reach the pedals - but a couple of preschoolers who wanted to visit grandma’s house decided to take mom's car and drive themselves thereTwo Washington preschoolers who could not even see out the windshield let alone reach the pedals, grabbed the keys and hopped in the family SUV. The children, ages 3 and 5, managed to start the vehicle, pull out of the driveway, and into a nearby intersection before t-boning a Volvo sedan, according to police. The driver of the Volvo escaped with minor cuts and bruises; the two kids were not injured. When asked where their mother was, one of the kids said, “Sleeping. I want to go to my grandma’s house.”

Whenever a case like this hits the media -- and it always does -- the public response is the same: How could a parent be so negligent? As outrageous as this incident may seem, it really could happen to anyone. Think about it! Have you ever fallen asleep on the couch while watching TV, reading a book or even watching the kids play? When you woke up, maybe you found that they got into the candy or spewed toys across the family room floor. Maybe they built a fort with their bedroom drapes. For the most part, no harm done, right? Now think about what could have happened. Your little ones could have easily turned on the oven to cook some chicken nuggets. They could have slipped out of the house and got hit by a car. They could have even found the keys and easily tried to drive to grandma’s house.

Don’t think something like this can’t happen to you – it can and it could result in serious or fatal injuries! The important lesson to take away from this incident is – cars are not toys.

• Never leave your keys within reach of young children. With recent technology, all it takes is the key fob to be near the car for the vehicle to start at the push of a button.
• Keep the car doors and trunk locked at all times, even in the driveway or garage.
• Never leave a child unattended in a motor vehicle or allow a child access to one without adult supervision. Children can die from heat stroke or carbon monoxide poisoning. They may also be able to start the vehicle or climb out of the car and wander off or be injured by another vehicle.
• each children that cars are not for playing and hiding. Children trapped in cars can die from hyperthermia or heat stroke.

This is also a good time to remind all parents to child-proof your home. One of the first steps in doing so is making sure your kids can't get out of the house or into rooms that aren't childproofed. Door knob covers make it hard for little hands to get a grip, turn, and open doors. They should be placed on all of the doors leading out of your home and on bathroom doors.

Fatal Car Crash Is A Tragic Reminder Of Danger To Teens As The Holiday Weekend Approaches

Investigators believe a 17-year-old driver was speeding when he lost control of his 1999 Ford Taurus and crashed into a tree, splitting the car in two. The driver and three passengers were ejected, according to reports from the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office. Two of the passengers, both 15-years-of-age, died from injuries. Several witnesses reported running to the crash scene to render aid and found at least one of the victims already deceased. The driver and one passenger were taken to an area hospital with serious injuries. All four teens were relatives and were returning from playing basketball that evening when the crash occurred.

The investigation is ongoing, but according to a criminal complaint, other motorists reported that the driver was speeding at nearly 80 mph, swerving from lane to lane, when he lost control, left the street and crashed into the tree. He faces two counts of homicide by negligent driving and one count of reckless driving causing great bodily harm, all felonies.

This is the “same kind of mistake that kids anywhere in any part of the state or country could have made,” said the principal from the school of one of the deceased teens.

Auto accidents are the number one cause of death for teens nationwide; they permanently alter the lives of all involved. Researchers found that teens have a higher risk of auto accidents and are 2 1/2 times as likely as adults to be in a crash. Common dangers for young drivers include:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Too many passengers
• Not wearing seat belts
• Driving under the influence
• Aggressive or careless driving

This is why many states have imposed tougher requirements on young drivers by requiring three stages of licensing — learner's permit, intermediate stage, and full license — and set 16 as the earliest age for entry into the learner's permit process. The graduated system helps young drivers by limiting high risk driving situations, increasing adult supervision and extending the educational requirements of the novice driver.

Studies continue to show that parental involvement is one of the most powerful weapons in the fight to keep teenagers safe. While a parent has no way of knowing if their teen will always follow the rules once they leave the house, it is important to keep re-enforcing safe driving habits. This includes understanding the importance of adhering to the speed limit, avoiding distractions while driving, and how to respond to situations on the road without panicking. Having proper insurance coverage is another way to protect your teen. Talk with your insurance agent about various options and be aware of your state’s requirements.

Even then, the most responsible driver may find themselves in a car crash. If you or a loved one is seriously injured or killed in an automobile accident at no fault of your own, you may be able to recover damages for medical bills, loss wages, and pain and suffering. It is important to contact an attorney who specializes in these types of cases.

Losing a loved one unexpectedly can be extremely difficult and painful. Even when liability appears straightforward, the case can drag on for months, even years. The wait will often put victims in a financial predicament. Worried about paying bills and meeting other financial obligations? While an attorney fights to obtain the best possible settlement, Lawsuit Financial may be able to provide a lawsuit cash advance, without consideration of your credit score or employment status. A financial transaction, known as lawsuit funding, is a valuable solution to obtaining immediate cash to cover pressing needs until a case reaches settlement. The repayment is made from the proceeds of the case. If your case is lost, the cash advance is waived in its entirety.

Eligibility is based on attorney representation and a strong case. Once these qualifications are met, the application process is quick and easy; it takes less than five minutes online or over the phone. Once approved, funds can arrive by wire or check within 24-48 hours. While the money can be used at your discretion, it typically helps pay medical expenses or important monthly obligations such as mortgage or rent payments and utility bills.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by a reckless driver and have an attorney representing your case, but don't have the financial ability to wait out a lengthy litigation process, auto accident lawsuit funding may be a solution.
