Auto Accident Victims Beware: Don’t be willing to Accept Pennies on the Dollar Due to Financial Obligations

Automobile accidents are the number one cause of personal injuries in the U.S. Most auto accident claims are settled successfully without a lawsuit ever being filed. However, if attempts at resolution fail, a lawsuit may be the only possible means to achieving justice. The first step is to consult an experienced auto accident attorney.

An auto accident attorney knows the tactics insurance companies use to avoid paying what the victim deserves. While an attorney can build a strong case and help get full compensation, this takes time. Since a financially desperate plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations, it stands to reason that removing financial pressure to settle early, and for too little, will result in increased settlement proceeds for the plaintiff. One optimal solution is lawsuit funding.

Often termed “lawsuit loan”, lawsuit funding is not a loan, but rather a lawsuit cash advance against a pending suit. Its purpose is to help plaintiffs with unexpected expenses as a result of an auto accident, as well as cover monthly household needs. Unlike a bank loan, lawsuit funding requires no application fee, no monthly payments, no credit check, and no employment verification. Best of all, funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, meaning that should the plaintiff lose the case, repaying the cash advance is completely waived.

Are you struggling financially? Are the bills are piling up? Don’t let the fact that you are out of work and the bills are becoming past due force you to settle for less than the compensation you deserve. Turn to the legal funding experts at Lawsuit Financial for financial support.

Plaintiffs Don’t Have To Settle For Less Out Of Desperate Need For Money

When someone is killed due to the negligence of someone else, legal action by the family of a deceased loved one can be taken. This process oftentimes requires an experienced attorney to obtain full and just compensations for damages. Even then, a lawsuit or legal claim may take months, even years to receive the highest possible settlement. During this time, most plaintiffs will face financial hardship, especially if the lost loved one was the primary breadwinner. No one wants more debt by racking up credit cards or taking out a bank loan -- that is if a bank would even extend a loan. Lawsuit funding may be the only hope to withstand the litigation process and avoid a financial disaster such as foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy and ruined credit.

Two children of a man killed in a head-on collision filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the estate of the woman who caused the crash. Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene, according to a police report. Neither driver was wearing a seat belt.

The lawsuit alleges that the woman was driving too fast, failed to yield the right-of-way, traveled in the wrong direction, and was driving under the influence at the time of the crash. The suit seeks unspecified damages to compensate for the man’s death, as well as to pay for funeral and other expenses.

Now that the lawsuit has been filed, if the plaintiffs are in need of immediate cash they may want to consider lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is cash received in advance of a settlement that, hopefully, will permit the plaintiffs to deal with their crucial expenses right away, enabling them to wait out the long, legal process and achieve appropriate justice. The funding process begins with completing a one-page application. Next, Lawsuit Financial will request case documentation to determine the strength of the case; there are no application fees, credit checks or employment verification. If the case is approved for a lawsuit cash advance, the money can arrive within 24 – 48 hours. Repayment is only made once the case is won and the settlement received. If the case is lost, the plaintiff is under no obligation to repay the cash advance.

For any victim of an auto accident who has retained an attorney, filed a lawsuit, and in need of financial assistance, Lawsuit Financial encourages you to call us before settling for less than full case value or struggling to the point of losing your home and credit standing.

Lawsuit Funding Helps Personal Injury Claim Victims Seek Justice

Thousands of people suffer from a personal injury each year, and while you might want to imagine that it could never happen to you or someone you love, it can. The most common types of personal injury claims -- a means for an injured person to collect damages if he/she is injured by the actions or negligence or another person or entity -- are auto accidents, slip and falls, and defective products. When this is the case, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation in the form of a settlement.

Depending on the type and the severity of the injury, medical expenses can reach thousands of dollars or more, pain and suffering can last years and some injuries can put a victim out of work for life. Although you may have insurance to cover some medical expenses, it may not be enough.

Personal injury claims are designed to help victims seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, long or short term disabilities, but may also seek redress for emotional or psychological injuries. Even if the injuries incurred are minor and temporary, filing a personal injury claim may award substantial restitution, and in some cases, the victim may seek punitive damages. It is in your best interest to find an experienced attorney knowledgeable in your type of injury and who can help determine whether or not you should pursue your personal injury claim or lawsuit, and if so, your case value including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Whether you file a claim or lawsuit, you will need to provide proof of medical expenses, missed days of work, medical records, police reports and anything else that proves the severity of your injuries. The insurance company uses this information to process a claim amount. A claim is between both involved parties and their insurance company, who will disperse the amount of money they feel your injury is worth. If, however, you feel your injuries are worth more than the settlement offer, you may choose to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit is not about greed, but justice and receiving fair compensation; it can also help prevent such negligence from being repeated. Unfortunately, many times these lawsuits will take months, even years to resolve. When injury victims feel forced, by financial circumstances, to consider settlements too early and for too little, they should contact Lawsuit Financial.

Lawsuit Financial knows about financial pressures from insurance companies and deep pocket defendants who have all the time and money in the world. Insurance companies and their attorneys are not injured, they are not missing work. Settlement or not, they can feed their families and take care of life's necessities. We can provide plaintiffs with lawsuit funding to take care of life's necessities (mortgage, rent, food, utilities, gas, car payments, medical expenses, transportation, etc) to reduce the financial pressures of an early settlement.

Lawsuit funding is not a “lawsuit loan.” There are not credit checks, employment verification, upfront fees or monthly payments, and it is not paid back, until the plaintiffs successfully settles. Should the plaintiff lose the case, we completely waive repayment of the cash advance. If the case qualifies, funding can be available within 24 hours.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in an auto accident, it is important to seek legal advice. Once the lawsuit is filed, if you are in need of fast cash, simply complete an online application or call our office, toll-free 1-877-377-SUIT.

Pokémon Go: More Proof that Phones and Driving Don’t Mix

It is common knowledge that distracted driving – especially texting and driving, plays a significant role in thousands of auto accidents every year. Now there is a new distraction on the go - Pokémon Go!

Last week, a driver admitted to being distracted by Pokémon Go when he drove off the road and crashed into a tree. He was lucky to escape with only a broken ankle and cuts on both legs. Thankfully, no one was in the passenger seat because impact of the crash nearly sent the engine into the passenger compartment.

Last Saturday, a driver under the influence of Pokémon Go collided with a parked police car. The officers had just responded to a 911 call and were standing on the sidewalk when their squad car was hit at a high rate of speed. “That’s what I get for playing this dumb a** game,” the distracted driver told the officers. Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

Two days later, Washington State Police cited a man for causing a rear-end collision. He, too, admitted to playing Pokémon Go while driving. No injuries were reported.

Although the game disables some features over 20 miles per hour, Pokémon Go is just the latest temptation for drivers. In fact, Pokémon Go, could be a bigger distraction than texting while driving as motorists may easily become much more immersed in the game than in a text. That leads to the question - Could this create liability issues for Niantic, the game’s developer, in the event of a serious or fatal crash?

A full-screen warning is displayed during loading that warns users against distracted playing, including warnings against playing while driving. A warning also pops up every time the app is opened, telling players to aware of their surroundings. The game’s Terms of Service (TOS) include a disclaimer that says the company is not liable for any property damage, injuries or deaths that result while playing. Although app users acknowledge the liability disclaimer, it may not apply in certain situations. For example, if a player causes a car crash, the disclaimer may not extend to an injured third party.

Irrelevant of whether or not Niantic's Terms of Service insulates the company completely from liability claims, each of us must take personal responsibility for making safe and smart decisions while driving. That means putting the phone down. One quick text or glance to see the next Pokéstop could change your life forever!

Police Arrested Man Suspected of Hurling Rocks at Cars

After a two year investigation, police have arrested a man suspected of hurling rocks at moving cars and trucks along Interstate 35 in Austin.

On June 14, 2014, Kenneth Johnson was heading home from work when a rock smashed through his window, hitting him in the face and lower neck. Patrick Johnson (no relation) called 911 to report the crash. He told police he was driving in the opposite direction when he saw the vehicle swerve and crash into the median. Patrick said he turned around at the first opportunity to “assist and call 911.” The incident caused Kenneth to have an aneurysm which ruptured, leading to a stroke. He is paralyzed and suffered brain damage.

During the next two years, Patrick Johnson made more than 1000 calls to 911 to report collisions, traffic hazards and reckless driving. When arrested, Johnson admitted to throwing rocks when questioned by Austin police and named several occasions where he had thrown rocks at oncoming traffic on Interstate 35.

Rock throwing incidents are not uncommon. In March, a woman’s car window was shattered while she cruised down a valley highway in Nevada. Last month, two men were arrested for throwing rocks at cars in Owen County, Indiana. Police arrested the men after one of the rocks hit the sheriff's car. Both men admitted they'd been throwing rocks for about a week. Last week, a 25-year-old Jackson, Michigan man was arrested after throwing rocks at passing cars. Police have not received any damage reports from motorists who were hit. There have been other incidents nationwide over the past few years, some resulting in critical injuries to motorists.

Police say it is a dangerous problem, but one that is difficult to patrol. Some cities have put up fences on overpasses. A Texas Department of Transportation spokeswoman said it would not be feasible in Austin because the city has so many elevated structures.

Rock throwing at cars is not a prank. It’s an intentional act of vandalism that can lead to fatal accidents. The perpetrator(s) can also face criminal charges. If a rock hits your car or you witness a rock throwing, contact the local police immediately and do not touch the projectile or the area of impact. If injured, seek medical help. If you were seriously injured due to a rock thrown at your vehicle, consult a personal injury attorney to understand your rights. You may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, property damage, loss of income, and pain and suffering.

For the safety of others, Lawsuit Financial encourages its readers to pass this on to everyone you know.

Florida Motorcyclists Run Over In Memorial Day Road Rage Incident

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is now investigating a road rage incident after two motorcycle riders were hurt when a driver ran them over just north of Tampa, Florida. The incident was recorded by a nearby driver after he heard an altercation break out between the driver of the car and a group of bikers.

After exchanging words, the driver of the vehicle ran over a motorcycle, knocking the driver and his female passenger to the ground before driving off. Several witnesses followed the man until he was caught by police a short time later. The couple knocked off the biker were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The hit-and-run driver was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of an accident involving injury. He is also accused of sideswiping one of the witnesses who followed him. The nature of the argument has not been disclosed.

The victims can file a personal injury suit against the negligent driver and his insurance company. Since assault and battery are intentional acts, in addition to compensatory damages for injuries, the victims can also seek punitive damages against the negligent driver. But, auto accident lawsuits can be very complex by nature and sometimes result in a lengthy and stressful litigation process. Insurance companies are represented by some of the most tenacious defense attorneys that are backed by deep pockets which can result in dragging a case out for months or even years. Unfortunately for some victims are not financially stable to wait out the process, especially with unexpected medical expenses.

Although most auto accidents undergo lengthy lawsuits, victims should not have to worry about finances. Auto accident lawsuit funding can help plaintiffs sustain their daily as well as monthly financial obligations in order to hold out for full compensation for their injuries.
