Auto Accident Lawsuit Filed After Insurance Company Refuses to Pay Claim

A man has filed a lawsuit against a driver and insurance company, alleging breach of duty in causing an auto accident.

According to the claim, failing to maintain proper control of her car, the defendant struck a tree and the car caught fire. As a result, the plaintiff, who was a passenger, suffered serious injuries and incurred medical expenses of approximately $12,000.

The plaintiff alleges that the insurer has refused to pay his claim without conducting a reasonable investigation. He seeks a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in damages.

Suffering a personal injury from an auto accident is bad enough, but when the insurance company refuses to negotiate or settle your claim in good faith for the sole purpose of protecting its own profits, the impact can be devastating. No innocent victim should ever be denied justice, but even with the help of an experienced auto accident attorney a case can drag on for months.

When a plaintiff is struggling financially, out of work, and has no financial means of support or able to obtain a traditional bank loan, litigation funding may be the key to paying the bills while waiting to reach a fair settlement.

Litigation funding is a cash advance against a pending lawsuit to help pay life’s necessities – mortgage, rent, car payments, and medical expenses. It allows a case to proceed through the legal process without pressure to settle early and attempts to ensure improved case results.

Have bad credit? No problem! Unemployed or temporarily unable to return to work? No problem! Litigation funding is based on the strength of the lawsuit.

Don’t want more monthly payments to make? No problem, either! Repayment of the cash advance is paid once the case successfully settles, not a day sooner. What if the case is lost? Again, no problem! Litigation funding poses no risk to the plaintiff. If the case is lost, the repayment obligation is completely waived.

Litigation funding is not for everyone, but it is a great resource that allows plaintiffs to bridge the financial gap until an equitable settlement is reached. If you are in a pending auto accident lawsuit and need financial support, don’t be bullied by the insurance company’s deny, defend, and delay tactics. Seek justice with the help of an experienced auto accident attorney and the help of litigation funding.

Once your application is received, via online or over the phone, we will request supporting case document from your attorney. After reviewing your case, if approved, a contract will be prepared for you and your attorney’s signature. Funds can then be wired into your account in as little as 24 hours. For more information, contact Lawsuit Financial toll-free at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) or visit us online.

Designated Driver Killed by DUI Detective “Drives” Home the Impact of Drunk Driving

We all know that drunk driving can cause serious or fatal accidents. Unfortunately, it seems that even some people who are supposed to be examples of law-abiding citizens choose to ignore the laws.

A 22-year-old Long Island student went out for the evening with family and friends to celebrate her sister’s 21 birthday. As the designated driver, she consumed no alcohol during the evening. While driving her sister and her sister’s boyfriend home, their Honda Civic was rear-ended by a Mercedes traveling at a high rate of speed. The impact caused the Honda to strike a tree and utility pole. The college student was rushed to the hospital where she underwent surgery for injuries, which included a broken pelvis and severe internal damage. Sadly, she passed away the next day. A blood test confirmed that she had not been drinking. Her two passengers sustained minor injuries.

The driver of the Mercedes was an off-duty police officer who was charged with driving while intoxicated, vehicular assault, assault, and refusal to take a breath test.

Losing a loved one is a extremely difficult time, especially when the tragedy could have been prevented. In addition to any criminal charges, the victims' family may wish to hold the officer accountable through a wrongful death lawsuit. They should contact an experienced auto accident attorney as soon as possible to understand their rights and what potential causes of action they may have.

Lawsuit Financial extends our deepest sympathy to the family of the deceased woman. Although we offer litigation funding services to plaintiffs in a pending lawsuit, it is our hope that by continuing to blog about the dangers of drunk driving that someday all motorists will realize that their actions can, and do, affect others.

Just because the person who causes a crash is a police officer, does not mean he cannot be held accountable for negligent actions. Drunk driving is inexcusable for anyone. Don’t make careless decisions. Drive responsibly!

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 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.

Head-On Crash in No Passing Zone Leaves Two Dead and Several Injured

Every year, thousands of motorists and passengers are injured or killed in a head-on collision. The most common causes of head-on collisions include:
  • Distracted driving
  • Driving the wrong way
  • Attempting to pass in the opposing lane or on a curve
  • Driving under the influence
  • Driving while drowsy or fatigued; falling asleep behind the wheel
Victims should consult an experienced auto accident attorney as soon as possible. An attorney knows how to investigate a crash and will fight to recover the largest possible settlement. In the interim, the plaintiff may wish to consider litigation funding as a means to help with mounting bills.

A 17-year-old driver attempted to pass a vehicle when he crashed head-on into a Chevy Cruze traveling in the opposite direction. Two passengers in the Cruze were pronounced dead at the scene. The teen and three of his passengers suffered serious injuries. A fourth passenger was in stable condition following the crash. The teen driver nor his passengers were wearing seatbelts.

Authorities say they believe the accident occurred because the teen attempted to pass a vehicle in a no passing zone. The accident is still under investigation; no charges have been filed at this time.

Even before the details are sorted out, families of the victims should consult an experienced auto accident attorney to understand their rights. A lawsuit may be the only means to obtain justice deserved.

Losing a loved one is enormously expensive and compensation is necessary and appropriate. Yet, insurance companies are notorious for denying, delaying, and defending claims. They are often willing to play waiting games with people’s lives, and they make it their job to pay out as little as possible.

Once the litigation process begins, if the plaintiff needs financial assistance, Lawsuit Financial can provide quick and easy financial relief.

Litigation funding is an advance against a settlement that permits victims wait out the long, legal process and achieve appropriate justice. To qualify, a plaintiff needs attorney representation and a case with merit; that’s all – no application fees, credit checks, employment verification or collateral is necessary. If approved, funding can be available within 24 – 48 hours. Best of all, litigation funding is risk-free. No payments are made until the case settles, and if for some reason the plaintiff is not successful, the repayment is completely waived.

Litigation funding can be a smart strategic move to avoid settling prematurely and obtain maximum results. For a free analysis of your funding situation, call Lawsuit Financial or visit us online.

Lawsuit Funding is a Fast Cash Lifeline while Awaiting a Settlement from a Serious Auto Accident

When you have been involved in an auto accident, especially one that results in serious injuries, it is important to understand your rights and the process of seeking compensation. An auto accident attorney can significantly improve the chances of your claim resolving successfully. However, if the claim is not settling quickly and you need money to pay the bills, lawsuit funding may be an option.

An Oklahoma man has filed a lawsuit against the driver of another vehicle and a freight carrier company alleging driver negligence.

According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that in May 2015, he was hit by the other driver who negligently made an unsafe and illegal turn across the left hand lane and collided with plaintiff's vehicle. The plaintiff said he sustained severe and permanent injuries as a result. He holds the defendants responsible alleging failure to keep a proper lookout, failure to properly apply brakes and failure to take proper evasive action to avoid a crash.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in damages.

From medical bills to lost wages, the aftermath of an accident can be devastating. As long as the case is strong and the plaintiff has attorney representation, lawsuit funding is usually an option.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance of an expected settlement. Its main purpose is to assist plaintiffs with the likely loss of wages, mounting medical bills, daily household expenses, and other out-of-pocket expenses until a settlement is reached. Unlike a traditional bank loan; funding can be obtained without the need for a credit check or employment verification; the only collateral required is a pending lawsuit. Funding is based strictly on case strength and repayment is only made once the case successfully settles. If the case is lost, the repayment obligation is completely waived.

The first step is to complete our one-page online application. Once received, the legal finance company will contact your attorney for case documentation. Our in-house review team can evaluate your application and typically make a funding decision within 24 hours. Not only is it free to apply for funding, but there are no application fees or monthly payments. Once approved, the money can be wired directly into your bank account; you may use it however you wish.

Don’t let financial worries hinder full recovery. If you were involved in an auto accident, suffered injuries and can’t borrow money from a bank, friend, or family, you may benefit from a non-recourse lawsuit cash advance. Contact Lawsuit Financial! Our experienced staff would be happy to answer all your questions and help you understand the lawsuit funding process.

Lawsuit Funding: When Pain and Suffering of an Auto Accident Goes Beyond the Physical

A woman and a child suffered serious injuries in a collision involving an alleged drunk driver.

An initial investigation revealed that the drunk driver crossed the yellow line and collided with the woman’s vehicle head-on. Following a preliminary investigation, the negligent driver was arrested and charged with aggravated driving while intoxicated. The crash remains under investigation.

The pain and suffering from an auto accident often goes beyond the physical and includes financial pain and suffering, especially if unable to work while recovering. For many, even after returning to work, there is a financial void that is hard to recover from until a settlement is reached. When the bills are not handled in a timely manner, it can result in late fees, disconnected services, foreclosure, eviction, even bankruptcy. This can negatively impact one’s credit score, as well. A plaintiff will most likely not be approved for a bank loan because banks do not recognize pending lawsuits as a viable asset. Without some other form of collateral or immediate means to repay the loan, a bank will not take the risk. Without another source of funds such as family or friends, plaintiffs will usually consider a less-than-favorable settlement. For these reasons, lawsuit funding has become important resource for plaintiffs.

Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance that provides immediate financial relief to plaintiffs who desperately need to take care of bills and expenses while their attorney does his job to obtain a full case settlement. Plaintiffs can receive an advance months -- and even years -- in advance of their case reaching a resolution and compensation being paid.

Lawsuit Financial specializes in pre-settlement auto accident lawsuit funding. Once we receive an application, one of our funding specialists will request case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. Our underwriters will evaluate the materials and determine whether funding can be extended. If approved, a contract is issued to be signed by the plaintiff and his/her attorney. There are no credit checks, employment verification, or monthly payments. We are repaid from the proceeds of the settlement, but if there is no recovery on the case, no repayment is required.

If you have been injured in an auto accident, or have a loved one who was injured or killed as the result of an auto accident, you should seek advice from an experienced attorney. After hiring an attorney, if you wish to learn more about the benefits of lawsuit funding, contact Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377-7848.

Lawsuit Funding Relieves Financial Pressure in Car Accident Lawsuits

Losing a loved one is a terrible shock and loss. The grief and emotional turmoil is made far worse when the death was caused by another person’s negligence.

No amount of money can ever compensate you for your loss, and a lawsuit may be hard to consider when grieving over the death of a loved one. Nevertheless, it is important to speak with a wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible.

Compensation recovered in a wrongful death claim can help ease the financial burden for the surviving family members, as well as bring responsible parties to justice. However, the longer the litigation process takes, the more financial strain is placed on the survivors.  What can they do in the near-term to pay the bills?

Financial pressures can force innocent victims to settle a case too soon, for too little. Before that happens, plaintiffs should consult the legal finance experts at Lawsuit Financial. We understand the financial situation facing plaintiffs and know the lengths that insurance companies will go through to reach a less-than-favorable settlement offer.

Obtaining a lawsuit cash advance requires no credit check or employment verification; we fund strictly on case strength and usually within 24 – 48 hours of receiving and application and case documentation. Funding is offered as non-recourse, meaning no payments are required until a settlement is reached and plaintiffs are not obligated to repay the cash advance if the case is lost.

If you are in a pending lawsuit and struggling financially, put the justice system to work for you. Use litigation funding to ease your financial burden and give your attorney the time needed to obtain full value in your case. An application can be done online or by phone.

Litigation Funding Can Make a Huge Difference in a Plaintiff’s Ability to Continue a Lawsuit


A 42-year-old Kona man was riding his bicycle along the roadway when the driver of a 2011 Ford pick-up truck veered onto the shoulder and struck him. The bicyclist was taken to the hospital with critical injuries, where he was pronounced dead. The truck driver was arrested on suspicion of negligent homicide and operating a vehicle while under the influence. He was later released pending further investigation.
 
If you have lost a loved one in an auto accident resulting from the negligence of another, you may wish to seek compensation through a wrongful death lawsuit. Once you have hired an attorney and your case filed, you may need to consider your financial situation, especially if your deceased love one was the primary, or sole, breadwinner.
 
How will you handle paying the medical expenses and funeral and burial expenses? How will you pay the mortgage and cover expenses associated with daily household needs? To add further to your hardship, delaying a case on purpose is not uncommon for insurance companies. They can afford to hire high-powered attorneys with one goal – profits! The longer they delay the more pressure you, as the plaintiff, will feel. When it becomes too much to bear, you may ask your attorney to reach a settlement, no matter the cost.
 
Plaintiffs can avoid an early settlement with the help of a lawsuit cash advance.
 
When a litigation funding company steps in to provide a “lawsuit loan”, it is not a loan in the traditional sense. Why? First of all, approval is based on the strength of the case; credit rating, employment status, and collateral don’t matter. If approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no monthly payments; the funding company is repaid from the proceeds of the settlement. Should the funded client lose the case, repayment of the cash advance is completely waived.
 
It is really that simply so don’t settle for pennies on the dollar when the insurance company tries to downplay your loss with a low settlement offer in your time of need. Look to an experienced provider of litigation funding; look to Lawsuit Financial. Give us a call, toll free, at 877-377-7848. If you’re ready to get started, you can complete our online application.

Driver Ran Red Light Killing a Woman and Her Granddaughter

Many drivers will run a red light or stop sign simply because they are in a hurry or distracted. Some will speed up at a yellow light trying to get through the intersection before the light turns red. Occasionally, a red light accident will happen because a traffic light has malfunctioned. Negligence on the part of driver or government entity can result in an auto accident lawsuit, but it may take time for authorities to determine the cause of the crash. When a delay occurs in the litigation process and the plaintiff is struggling financially, lawsuit funding can be a viable, risk-free solution.

A woman and one of her grandchildren were killed in a multi-vehicle crash after another driver ran a red light. Two other grandchildren were injured. Firefighters had to cut the victims from the vehicle. The driver responsible for the crash has been charged with two counts of homicide by vehicle and involuntary manslaughter, and six counts of recklessly endangering another person. Court records show that she was cited in November 2016 for allegedly failing to stop at a red light and for speeding in December 2016.

There are no words that can comfort family members of such a tragic accident, especially when the death not only resulted from the negligence of another person, but could have been prevented. The surviving family members may wish to pursue and wrongful death lawsuit seeking damages for medical bills, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, mental anguish, and other damages.

Handling a wrongful death case is not an easy task. There are a number of legal issues that arise and because insurance companies are well represented by adjusters and attorneys, it is important for the family to seek and retain an experienced auto accident attorney.

Unfortunately, the legal process can drag on for years; insurance companies are notorious for dragging out a claim until the victim gives in to the lowest possible settlement. In order to wait for a fair settlement, yet avoid experiencing a shortfall in finances that could lead to a significant financial hardship, a plaintiff may benefit from lawsuit funding.

Once an attorney is retained and the lawsuit has been filed, it could be as little as six months, but more likely a year – or even years – until a trial date. It is not uncommon for the defendant’s attorney to delay in hopes that the plaintiff will settle too soon for too little. In the meantime, the litigation process can put a strain on financial resources, especially if the family was already struggling to pay the bills. Lawsuit funding can often be the financial staying power necessary to pursue the case to trial.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance that can assist with mortgage/rent payments, funeral costs, medical expenses, and other household living expenses during the pending claim. To be eligible for funding, all a plaintiff needs is a strong case and legal representation. There is no need for a credit check or employment verification. Lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means that there are no payments until the case settles. If the case is lost, there is no obligation to repay the cash advance. Funding can be approved in as little as 24 hours, with the funds wired directly into the plaintiff’s bank account or a check sent via overnight mail.

If you are in a pending personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, don’t let your losses extend to your finances. Contact Lawsuit Financial at (877) 377-7848 or complete our online contact form to determine if a lawsuit cash advance can provide the financial staying power you need to achieve full compensation for damages.

Chain-Reaction Crash In Construction Zone Involving Five Vehicles, Causes Major Back-Up For Hours

Hundreds of fatalities in auto accidents occur every year in construction zones, often because drivers do not exercise the proper standard of care. The Federal Highway Administration reports that from 2009-2014, 4,400 people died as a result of an auto accident in construction zones; 200,000 others were injured. Most were rear-end collisions.

A chain-reaction crash involving five vehicles, causing major back-up on the interstate, began when drivers in the southbound left lane began braking in a construction zone. The driver of a Ford Expedition was unable to stop and rear-ended a Toyota Tundra. The Tundra rear-ended a Ford F-150, which hit the back of a Mazda 6 as the Expedition spun into the center lane and was hit by a Nissan Rogue. The driver of the Expedition was cited for careless driving.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) said several factors contribute to crashes in construction zones, including the increasing number of drivers on roads, unfamiliarity with road/traffic patterns, and driver distractions. Often times, motorists will wait until the last minute to change lanes. They also ignore signs to slow down.

While the driver of the Expedition, the one that initiated the chain-reaction crash, may be accountable for all of the resulting injuries and damage that may not always be the case in a multi-vehicle accident. Multiple parties may have acted negligently, contributing to the magnitude of a crash. For example, Driver A may be speeding and can’t stop in time before rear-ending Driver B. Driver C is approaching and has plenty of time to stop, however Driver C is texting at the time and slams into Driver A, who spins and slams into Driver D. Driver C’s may also be held liable for negligence.

This is only one example of how liability in a chain reaction crash can be complicated, which is why victims seeking compensation for damages should consult an experienced auto accident attorney who knows how to fully investigate the case and identify all potentially liable parties. The attorney will notify the at-fault parties and/or his/ her insurance company. The process of collecting evidence, seeking medical attention, and trying to get one’s life back to normal will begin. But, until the victim’s injuries heal and the case resolves, a plaintiff could find himself/herself in financial trouble. Some lawsuits take months, even years to resolve. With lawsuit funding in place, plaintiffs have the money to take care of their financial responsibilities, and can hold out for an appropriate settlement.

A lawsuit cash advance from Lawsuit Financial doesn’t require that the applicant be employed, or even have good credit. Lawsuit funding is completely contingent upon the outcome of the case; repayment is made once the case is won and compensation received. Simple as that.

If you have been seriously injured in an auto accident, your pain and suffering are more than enough for you to worry about – let Lawsuit Financial help take care of your bills. Give us a call at 1-877-377-7848 for a complimentary evaluation of your case. One of our experienced representatives will answer any questions and help you understand the lawsuit funding process.

Litigation Funding Helps Plaintiffs Avoid Financial Ruin During A Long, Drawn Out Legal Battle


A North Carolina man has been arrested and charged with felony death by vehicle and driving while intoxicated, resulting in a head-on crash that killed a woman and severely injured her passenger. The negligent driver was also injured. He was convicted of DWI in 2006 and 1989, according to court records.
The woman’s grieving family will likely turn to the civil justice system seeking compensation for their loss. In some cases, a wrongful death lawsuit for DWI can result in a verdict or settlement of millions of dollars. But, such cases are not quick to settle as insurance companies with deep pockets deny, delay, and defend claims. This is how insurance companies take advantage of financially struggling plaintiffs.
Plaintiffs don’t have to fall prey to this manipulative tactic. Once they retain an attorney and file a lawsuit, a lawsuit cash advance can help this family stay financially solvent without sacrificing the value of their case. Whether its medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage/rent, car payments, tuition, or simply putting food on the table, a lawsuit cash advance empowers plaintiffs to reject a low-ball settlement offer.
Applying for litigation funding is quick and easy; it takes less than five minutes. Lawsuit Financial will then review case documentation to determine if the lawsuit has merit. There is no need for a credit check or collateral and if the case is approved for funding, repayment is made only after the case settles. If the case is lost, we are not repaid.
If you are the victim of a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, once you’ve hired an attorney and filed your case, it’s time to consider your budget and how to handle paying bills during the duration of the lawsuit — until a final settlement is reached. If you need financial assistance, call Lawsuit Financial toll-free at (877) 377-7848 or complete our online application to learn how we can provide a lawsuit cash advance against the proceeds of your pending lawsuit.

Three Killed In 30+ Pile-Up on Michigan Highway During White-Out Conditions and Icy Roads

Although winter is not fully upon us, some cities have already experienced snow and icy conditions causing serious and fatal accidents.

Bursts of heavy snow, white-out conditions, and black ice created hazardous conditions in parts of southeast Michigan, resulting in a 30 – 40 car pile-up in Livingston County, according to Michigan State Police. At least three people were killed and several others injured. Some drivers and passengers had to be extricated from their vehicles.

According to reports, two drivers lost control of their vehicles, then a tractor-trailer jack-knifed, blocking most of the lanes of I-96.The actual number of cars involved is hard to determine because some vehicles may have run off the highway onto the shoulder or in the ditch of the median, but were not actually involved in the crash. The highway was closed in both directions for nearly three hours.

Winter weather, especially white-out conditions and black ice create a challenge on our roadways. Now is the perfect time for motorists to refresh their memory on how to safely navigate through the winter season.
  • Consult the owner's manual for tips specific to your vehicle.
  • Always be alert to the possibility of “black ice” when temperatures are near or below freezing. Don’t assume the roads aren’t slippery if it’s not freezing or below. Ice can form on roads at any time the temperature drops to 40 degrees, especially when it’s windy.
  • Decrease your speed when visibility and road conditions are bad and increase following room by at least one car length.
  • Brake gently to avoid skidding.
  • Use low gears to keep traction, especially on hills.
  • Do not use cruise control or overdrive on icy roads.
  • Use extra caution on bridges and overpasses; remember that these surfaces are the first to freeze.
  • Accelerate slowly to avoid loss of traction and control. Turn slowly, with caution, to avoid sliding.
  • Make sure your vehicle is stocked with a “winter survival kit” – ice/snow scraper, blankets, warm clothing and gloves, spare tire, antifreeze, non-perishable food items, first aid kit, and cell phone charger, to name a few.
And, don’t forget the rules that apply in any condition – buckle up, don’t drive under the influence, and avoid distractions of any kind -- cell phone or texting while driving. If we all do our part, the roads will be safer this winter season.

What To Do When The Litigation Process Extends Beyond Your Financial Capabilities

If you have been injured in an accident, first and foremost you should seek medical treatment.  Next, if you believe you may have a personal injury claim, it is imperative that you consult an experienced auto accident attorney. The attorney will need to review everything about the case, including the accident report and medical treatment, to determine if he/she believe you have a valid claim. While many claims will settle without going to trial, some will not. Waiting out the litigation process could extend beyond your financial capabilities, especially if you are unable to work. The longer your case lasts, the more difficult it becomes to pay everyday bills. At that point, you may feel pressure to settle your case far too soon, for too little. A financial lifeline from Lawsuit Financial can keep you in the fight until your attorney can achieve the justice you deserve.

A lawsuit cash advance is a means to pay important financial obligations and necessary living expenses while buying your attorney time to build a stronger case in order to maximize the value of the outcome. Lawsuit funding can help you avoid a financial disaster such as foreclosure, eviction, bankruptcy and ruined credit.

After you apply, the legal finance company will obtain case documentation from your attorney to assess the strength of the case and the expected outcome. If approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. The best part is there is zero risk to you, the plaintiff. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments. Once your case settles, your attorney will repay the cash advance from the proceeds of your case. And, if you lose the case you don’t have to pay back the advance. That’s right, we assume 100% of the risk when we invest in your case.

Don't settle for less just because you are in desperate need of money.  Call Lawsuit Financial or complete our online contact form. We will personally walk you through all your options and how lawsuit funding can best serve your financial needs during your pending lawsuit.

Sun Glare May Have Been Factor In Rear-End Crash That Claimed The Life Of One Student

While many of us may think of driving in weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, as potentially dangerous, this does not mean we can be less attentive when driving on a clear day. Driving on a sunny day can also create a dangerous, and sometimes deadly situation if the driver’s view is compromised by the glaring sun.

A 7-year-old girl was killed and ten others injured when an East Texas school van was rear-ended by a pick-up truck. According to reports, the van was struck while it was stopped to pick up children. Authorities believe the truck driver may have been blinded by the sun while coming over a hill and upon the stopped van.

Glare is not only a problem when motorists are driving into the sun; many motorists will run a red light because of the sun glare. Irrelevant, glares should never come as a surprise; we all know the sun comes up and it goes down. So how can you protect yourself and others on the road when driving into the sun?

AAA offers these tips:
  • Keep your windshield clean, inside and out.
  • Wear quality sunglasses with polarized lenses and UV protection to help reduce the glare.
  • Utilize your sun visor – it can help to block out the sun.
  • Leave more following room – when the sun is in your eyes it can be hard to see what the car ahead is doing.
  • Turn headlights on so oncoming motorists can see you as they're driving toward the sun.
  • Drive slower, even below the posted speed. It's against the law to drive at speeds in excess of road conditions.
  • Use the same precautions and care as driving in other hazardous conditions, like fog or rain. If you can't see, don't drive.
  • If possible, change your driving route.
There are no laws excusing a driver from liability in the event of an accident due to sun glare. The families of the victims may wish to consult an experienced attorney to understand their rights to compensation for their loss. An attorney can advocate for their rights should it be necessary.

Many lawsuits take months, even years to resolve. Until then, victims could find themselves in financial trouble. Lawsuit Financial may be able to help.

Lawsuit Financial understands the financial challenges victims and their families face after a serious auto accident. We offer lawsuit funding, a cash advance against a pending claim, to help plaintiffs who need financial help while their case proceeds through the litigation process.

With a lawsuit cash advance, plaintiffs can avoid the financial burden of medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, even daily household expenses until justice is served and a settlement reached. Once the plaintiff applies, our underwriters will review the case and if approved we can wired a check directly into the plaintiff’s bank account within 24 – 48 hours. The only requirement for lawsuit funding is that the case has merit. There is no need for good credit or employment, and there are no monthly payments. Funding is completely contingent upon the outcome of the case; repayment is made once the case is won and compensation received. If the plaintiff loses the case, the funds are waived completely because lawsuit funding is provided on a non-risk basis.

Lawsuit Financial will provide complimentary evaluation of your case; simply complete our online application or call us toll-free at 1-877-377-7848. One of our experienced representatives will answer any questions and help you understand the lawsuit funding process.

Experience and Reputation Matter


The legal finance industry is no different than most other industries. If you are searching for lawsuit funding, experience and reputation should matter.

If you were seriously injured in an auto accident, it is important to contact an experienced attorney who knows how to handle a personal injury claim. The reason is that an attorney’s experience can directly impact your case. If you are working with an attorney that has never handled your specific type of case, it could greatly reduce your chances to obtain the compensation you deserve. The same is true for obtaining lawsuit funding.

Once you have filed an injury claim or lawsuit, if you are interested in receiving a lawsuit cash advance against your case, Lawsuit Financial can help. Lawsuit Financial has been a leader in the litigation funding industry for over 17 years because we have a proven reputation of working tirelessly to provide sensible lawsuit cash advances for plaintiffs struggling financially during a pending lawsuit. Unlike our competition, we don’t do television and radio commercials, billboard advertising, direct mailings, or email blasts. A large percentage of our success comes from attorney and past client referrals.

A plaintiff that applies for lawsuit funding does not need good credit. In fact, those with poor credit or no credit at all can still obtain funding approval. We do not approve clients based upon their credit history or rating. Furthermore, the plaintiff does not need to be employed. All we care about is the strength of the case. If Lawsuit Financial believes an applicant’s case has a strong chance of success, funding will likely be approved.

Lawsuit Financial understands that most of our clients are in desperate need of financial relief and time is always of the essence. Once we receive a request for funding, Lawsuit Financial will contact the plaintiff’s attorney for necessary documentation and our in-house underwriters will make a funding decision, typically within 24 – 48 hours.

When Lawsuit Financial invests in a case, we do so at our own risk. Funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning repayment of the cash advance is made once the case successfully settles. The amount paid comes directly out of the proceeds of the case. If the case is lost, repayment is completely waived.

If you need further information or want to see if your case qualifies for lawsuit funding, it is important to first talk to your attorney. Without attorney cooperation, it will be impossible to obtain a lawsuit cash advance against your case. Next, complete our online form or call our office at (877) 377-7848 for a free, no obligation consultation to understand the best funding solution for you and your case. We also can provide funding for plaintiffs who have received a judgment or the case is under appeal.
