When a doctor does not provide
proper treatment it can lead to serious complications or the death of the
patient. Victims of medical malpractice
or their families may be able to file a lawsuit against the doctor and/or
hospital, seeking compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial
expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Once a lawsuit is
filed, those suffering financially can apply for litigation funding.
The family of a deceased man recently
filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against a doctor and medical facility
claiming negligence resulted in the death of their loved one. According to the suit,
after the man went to the hospital seeking medical treatment, doctors failed to
request cardiac testing and therefore failed to diagnose a serious heart condition.
The patient was discharged with no instructions or further medical attention
given. He later suffered a heart attack and died. The lawsuit alleges that the
doctor’s negligence caused the man’s heart condition to go undiagnosed and
untreated, ultimately leading to his death.
Given the nature of this
situation, a possible wrongful death involving a medical error or misdiagnosis, it may take years before the
case goes to court and/or culminates in a settlement or award. No one has
limitless financial strength. Plaintiffs often face financial hardship trying
to make ends meet with ordinary cost of living expenses, medical expenses,
funeral expenses, and the loss of income. When this happens, litigation funding may be a viable
solution.
Litigation funding is a cash
advance against the future settlement of the case, often be approved within 24 –
48 hours. It helps a plaintiff remain in a case longer in order to pursue a
larger, more favorable settlement. There are no up-front fees or monthly
payments and no credit checks or employment verification. Best of all, repayment
is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the case is lost, repayment of
the cash advance is completely waived. Although there are no restrictions as to how the money is used, litigation funding should be used
sparingly and wisely. It should be used to pay for life’s necessities such as
food, medical bills, mortgage payments and other important daily expenses that
become difficult due to serious injury, disability or death.
Were you or a loved one the
victim of medical negligence? Pain and suffering, emotional stress, and loss of
income are only a few of the reasons you may be able to file a medical
negligence claim. An attorney can help determine if you have a winnable case
and help you seek the compensation you deserve. After filing a lawsuit, if you
need financial assistance while waiting for justice to be served, contact a Lawsuit Financial to discuss your
case funding situation.
