One Child Killed, Another Seriously Injured in Wrong-Way Drunk Driving Crash

One of the most negligent acts by a driver is getting behind the wheel while under the influence.

A 32-year-old North Carolina woman has been charged with driving while intoxicated, felony death by vehicle, and reckless driving in a crash that killed a 13-year-old girl and seriously injured a 12-year-old step-sister, who remains in the hospital with a broken back and a dislocated shoulder. She is also blind in one eye, according to reports.

Police said the drunk driver was traveling south in the northbound lane of US 25-70, just inside the Madison County line. The northbound driver of the vehicle in which the two young girls were passengers, swerved to miss the wrong-way driver, but she struck his vehicle on the passenger side. The deceased child was riding in the back seat; the injured girl was the front seat passenger. Both drivers suffered minor injuries.

Everyone involved in the collision were wearing seat belts and speed was not a factor, according to police. A preliminary investigation showed both drivers were traveling within the legal speed limit of 55 mph, and neither driver applied the brakes before impact.

Although the results of a blood alcohol test have not been released, police said the woman had a “strong odor of alcohol on her breath, slurred speech and dilated pupils. She tested positive in a preliminary breath test, the report states.

The family of the two young girls may be entitled to rights under North Carolina law to hold the drunk wrong-way driver accountable. With the help of an experienced auto accident attorney, the family can seek compensation for medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, and other damages.

Even a seemingly cut-and-dry case can take months, even years to settle. The bills won’t stop coming in just because the family is in a pending lawsuit. To stay financially afloat, auto accident litigation funding is a good option. In fact, it might be the only option to avoid an early settlement for less than full case value.

Litigation funding is a cash advance that, hopefully, permits victims to deal with critical expenses while waiting to achieve appropriate justice. Victims are eligible for funding once they have attorney representation. The process begins with completing a one-page application upon which time Lawsuit Financial will contact the plaintiff’s attorney for applicable case documentation. Funding is based solely on the strength of the lawsuit; there are no credit checks or employment verification. If the request for funding is approved, a contract is executed and cash can be available within 24-48 hours. Repayment is made once the case successfully settles. If the case is lost, repayment is completely waived.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to the negligence of another driver, in a pending, attorney-represented lawsuit, and need fast cash, litigation funding may help you survive during the pursuit of your personal injury or wrongful death claim.

Couple Names Driver and Auto Manufacturer in Death of Daughter

An experienced wrongful death attorney is the best way to help victims reach the compensation they deserve. Yet, a lengthy legal process could hinder them from paying the bills associated with the crash, as well as ordinary living expenses. In times like this, auto accident litigation funding is a good option.

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 6^th, 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.

Two Teens Killed In Route to School When Drunk Driver Slams Into Their Vehicle Head-On

An auto accident claimed the lives of two teens when their vehicle was hit head-on as they drove to school. According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, the driver of a Pontiac Grand Prix crossed the center line colliding with the teen’s Chevrolet Sonic. The Grand Prix caught on fire, but the driver was able to escape with non-life threatening injuries. While speed was not a factor in the accident, the driver of the Pontiac has been charged with a DWI and other charges on the driver are pending.

Injuries and deaths caused by a driving under the influence are often the subject of civil suits. While the negligent driver can face serious criminal charges, he/she can also face civil liability.

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.
