A couple has filed a $1 million lawsuit against a driver and automaker, alleging gross negligence in the death of their 8-year-old daughter.
On April 6th, the couple was headed to a softball game when the driver of a Jeep Grand Cherokee rear-ended their 2009 Ford Expedition. The couple was fine, but when they turned to check on their daughter, they found her bloodied and unconscious. The force of impact had caused the driver’s seat to collapse backwards, hitting the little girl in the head. The child was flown by helicopter to the hospital. Her injuries were so severe that the little girl was removed from life support two days later.
The driver of the Jeep had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit, according to police. She was arrested on a charge of intoxication manslaughter with a vehicle.
The couple has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the drunk driver and Ford Motor Company. The suit accuses the driver of gross negligence and alleges negligence in the Expedition’s design and manufacturing.
Insurance companies and auto manufacturers are not quick to settle claims. Their primary motivation is to generate profits and no lawsuit will change that. In fact, they will typically deny, delay, and defend the claim in hopes the plaintiff will give up or settle for much less than full case value.
What if this couple faces financial hardship while waiting for their case to settle? How do they void settling prematurely?
Litigation funding allows qualified plaintiffs to immediately access a portion of their expected settlement. With a lawsuit cash advance, a plaintiff never pays upfront fees. In fact, there are absolutely no payments until the case successfully settles, at which time we are repaid from the proceeds of the settlement. However, if the case is unsuccessful for any reason, the repayment is completely waived. This means that the plaintiff does not put their financial future at further risk.
Applying for litigation funding is easy online or by phone. Funding approval is based solely on the strength of the case, so there is no need for credit checks or employment verification. If approved, the lawsuit cash advance would arrive within 24-48 hours by check or by wire.
If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to a product defect or corporate negligence, consult an attorney immediately to help you file your claim. Once you are in a pending lawsuit, if you need financial assistance, consider litigation funding. It may be the difference between settling for less too early and waiting for a fair judgment later.
It takes time and patience to obtain justice from an automobile accident, whether it is due to a drunk driver or defective product. If you need help covering bills and expenses while your attorney fights for the compensation you deserve, call Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377-7848.
