Widow Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit Alleging Negligence By Truck Maintenance Providers


There are no words to describe the loss of a loved one, especially due to the careless actions or negligence of someone else. Whether from medical malpractice, auto accidents, product liability, and workplace fatalities, when a wrongful death occurs, the victim's family has the right to file a lawsuit.

A widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit against truck maintenance providers, alleging their negligence led to the death of her husband.

The December, 15 complaint alleges that the man was on the job setting emergency brakes for a truck when the vehicle stared to roll downhill. The man lost his balance and fell between the wall and the truck. His internal organs were crushed and he suffered severe and agonizing pain until his death a week later. The lawsuit alleges the defendants were negligent for failing to provide proper inspection, testing, repair and maintenance of a truck. The plaintiff seeks trial by jury and an unspecified amount in damages.

Unfortunately, wrongful death claims can take years to settle; time many families don’t have especially if the victim was the bread winner. When the insurance company denies, delays, and defends, the financial burden is increased. Without financial assistance, many families may be unable to proceed with their case; often times settling for considerably less than the wrongful death is worth. Before accepting an unjust settlement offer, these plaintiffs should consider lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a financial tool that gives plaintiffs the staying power to wait for a fair settlement. It may be the only financial lifeline to paying medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage, and other important bills. By securing lawsuit funding, a plaintiff’s attorney has the time necessary to obtain full compensation. After reviewing a wrongful death lawsuit funding application, if approved, funds are usually available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no employment verification; funding is based solely on the case strength. Repayment is only made if, and when the lawsuit is won and settled. In the event the plaintiff loses, the lawsuit cash advance is waived in its entirety because litigation funding is a non-recourse transaction.

If you are struggling financially while awaiting a settlement in your wrongful death case, don’t be tempted to accept less than full compensation.
