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.
