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.

Woman Files Lawsuit Alleging she was implanted with Defective Inferior Vena Cava Filter

Medical devices can improve and save lives, but when manufacturers fail to properly ensure that their products are designed with safety in mind, they should be held legally accountable for the injuries incurred. A defective product lawsuit may be necessary to compensate an innocent victim, alert the public about the dangerous product, and create an economic incentive for the manufacturing company to produce safe products and provide sufficient warning of the dangers of their products, ultimately resulting in the saving of lives. For those in a medical device lawsuit, in need of emergency cash, Lawsuit Financial can help.

A California woman has filed a lawsuit claiming medical device companies manufactured a defective model of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter, a device used to prevent pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs).

The IVC filter first entered the market in June 2009, after receiving clearance from the FDA. The filter is a small mesh strainer placed in the center of the IVC to trap clots going to the heart of lungs. It may be left in place permanently or can be removed from the blood vessel later, when the risk of a clot traveling to the lung has passed.

In this case, the plaintiff was implanted with the device in September 2014. Subsequently, in April 2016, her doctor attempted surgical retrieval of the filter, but was unable to do so because the retrieval hook at the apex of the filter had become embedded into the wall of the plaintiff’s vena cava. The doctor also attempted to utilize a retrieval snare to extract the filter to no avail, according to the claim.

The lawsuit states that the defendants negligently manufactured a defective and unsafe product, did not warn customers of its flaws, and put a product on the market which may lead a patient to suffer “severe health side effects, including, but not limited to: hemorrhage; cardiac/pericardial tamponade; cardiac arrhythmia and other symptoms similar to myocardial infarction; perforations of tissue, vessels and organs; and other severe personal injuries and diseases.”

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

Lawsuits against medical companies can be time-consuming and costly. When a plaintiff needs help to regain control of their finances, lawsuit funding can help.

At Lawsuit Financial, we understand that during a lengthy litigation process bills can pile up, resulting in financial hardship. To qualify for funding, all you need is a strong case and attorney representation. We require no monthly payments, no credit checks, and you do not need to be employed. With our quick and easy litigation funding services, we can put no-risk cash in your pocket within 24 – 48 hours of receiving and application and pertinent case documentation. The cash advance can be spent on whatever you want, but is typically used to pay medical expenses, mortgage or rent, car payments, utilities, or supplement loss of income. Repayment is only made once your case settles; if you lose the case, repayment is waived.

Call Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377-7848 with any questions or to learn more about lawsuit funding and how it may help you and your case.

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. Lawsuit Financial Corporation has great sympathy for every client who comes to us at such a challenging time and do everything possible to help. Call us at (877) 377-7848 or complete the online application for a free case funding evaluation.
