Ohio Man Sentenced to Prison for Causing Fatal Crash

Losing a loved one is never easy, but it is worse when the loss was the result of a drunk driving auto accident.

An auto accident last summer resulted in the death of a 39-year-old woman. According to reports, the driver of a pick-up truck was speeding when he lost control and his truck went airborne across the median before smashing into the woman's car. The truck sheared off the top of the car from the doors up. The truck driver had a blood-alcohol level nearly three times the legal limit, according to reports. The woman is survived by her husband and young son.

During sentencing, a friend of the deceased woman asked the negligent driver to close his eyes and return to the time of the crash. “Put yourself behind the wheel of the truck that night,” she said. “You pushed her car a quarter of a mile down the road. You killed her upon impact. Can you see the sheer look of terror in her eyes?”

Though the man had no prior criminal record, he did have a lengthy history of driving violations, including seven license suspensions and 10 convictions, most for driving without a license or without insurance. He pleaded guilty to aggravated vehicular homicide and driving under the influence. He was sentenced to serve seven years and his driver’s license was suspended for life.

While the family may feel some measure of justice, they will likely have legal recourse beyond the criminal court. An experienced auto accident attorney can help the family understand their rights in a wrongful death claim. A lawsuit can provide them with essential compensation for funeral expense, lost income, and also help pay for their emotional pain and suffering.

Justice usually takes time, sometimes as much as several years before a settlement is reached. Once the lawsuit is filed, the family may wish to consider lawsuit funding if they need assistance with any financial obligations.

Once a plaintiff completes an online application, our underwriters will review case documentation provided by the plaintiff’s attorney. Our approval process is quick because we don’t require a credit check or employment verification. The only condition for approval is attorney representation and a case with merit. If approved, the money can be available within 24 – 48 hours and can be used for whatever purpose the client wishes; there are no restrictions. Best of all, lawsuit funding is repaid only upon a successful settlement. If the plaintiff does not receive a favorable cash settlement, he/she is under no obligation to pay back the cash advanced.

Lawsuit Financial is a proud leader in the industry; even law firms refer their clients to us because of the exceptional service we provide. If you suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one due the negligence of someone else and you have a pending lawsuit, call us today to determine if lawsuit funding is right for you.

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 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.

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.

Head-On Fatal Collision Likely Due to Speeding and Driving Under the Influence

A Utah woman was killed in a two-car crash after a Jeep drifted into oncoming traffic and collided head-on into her Chevy Malibu. The woman died instantly; the 26-year-old driver of the Jeep was taken to Utah Valley Medical Center in serious condition and is under police guard. The front of the Malibu was crumbled beyond recognition and both drivers had to be extricated from their respective vehicles, according to police. The investigation is ongoing, but speed and alcohol appear to have been factors.

The details of this fatal crash won’t be known until the investigation is complete. 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.

Wrongful deaths resulting from an auto accident have the potential to exhaust financial resources, especially when income is impacted. The bills won’t stop coming in just because the family is in a pending lawsuit. To stay financially afloat, auto accident litigationfunding may be a perfect solution.

Litigation funding is a cash advance that assist plaintiffs who are struggling to make ends meet due to injury or death caused by auto accidents. The only collateral required is a pending lawsuit.

Funding is based solely on the strength of the lawsuit; there are no credit checks or employment verification. There are no monthly payments; repayment is made once the case successfully settles. If the case is lost, repayment is completely waived.

For any plaintiff who feels they cannot financially wait to seek justice in a wrongful death lawsuit, litigation funding may be the solution.

Woman Charged with Drunk Driving in Deadly Indiana Motorcycle Crash

A woman has been charged with drunk driving after she slammed into a motorcycle, seriously injuring the driver and killing his passenger, who suffered severe head injuries.

The negligent driver has been charged with operating while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury, a Level 6 felony, police said. She also faces misdemeanor charges of operating while intoxicated and citations of failure to yield to right of way and refusal to submit to a certified chemical test.

Although no legal action can ever bring back a loved, the family of the deceased will, most likely, seek the advice of an experienced automobile accident attorney who can look closely at the circumstances of this drunk driving accident and hold the negligent driver accountable.

Often times, it will take months if not years to achieve the largest possible settlement or verdict as the insurance company will typically deny, delay, and defend every claim. During this time, the victim’s family will be faced with additional expenses, such as funeral and burial expenses, in addition to ordinary monthly expenses. An experienced and reputable lawsuit funding company may be able to help this family if they are struggling financially.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against a pending suit. It provides a strategic advantage for the victim because it gives them leverage against the insurance company; it prevents the plaintiff from being forced to take inadequate offers. With the financial pressure removed, there is no need to resolve any case for less than the full value.

All that is needed to qualify for legal finance services is a valid lawsuit handled by an experienced attorney. The application process is quick and easy; cash can be available in as little as 24 – 48 hours. There are no fees to apply, no credit check, no employment, no monthly payments. Lawsuit funding is risk-free, too because it is contingent upon the actual outcome of the case. If the plaintiff loses his case, he keeps the money free of charge.

Lawsuit funding is not for everyone, but in many cases, it can be the best solution to financial stability until justice is served. Don’t settle for pennies on the dollar; get the help you need when you need it most. Call Lawsuit Financial today.

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

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.

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.

Two Children Killed in Five-Vehicle Warrenton, Missouri Crash Due To Drunk Driver

Study-after-study has shown that distracted driving from cell phone use hampers reaction time as much as a drunk driver with a blood alcohol level of 0.08. Just as with drunk driving, distracted driving causes the driver to take his focus off the road for seconds at a time and, therefore, impairs driving ability. The distracted driver loses his ability to drive defensively--in similar fashion to how driving under the influence can diminish response times; a split-second lag time in hitting the brakes can have deadly consequences. Here is a tragic car crash resulting from a driver not only looking down at his phone, but also driving while intoxicated.

A drunk driving accident took the lives of two Warrenton, Missouri children as the Labor Day weekend was coming to an end. The children, 7 and 13-years-of-age, were pronounced dead at the scene. Both their parents were hospitalized in serious condition.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the family’s Hyundai Elantra was rear-ended by a Cadillac Escalade while they were traveling eastbound on I-70 near Blue Springs. The Escalade then hit an Acura, pushing it into two other vehicles. The driver of the Escalade and the occupants of the three other vehicles were not seriously injured. Everyone involved was wearing a seat belt.

The negligent driver told police he was on his way home with cruise control on. He said he looked down at his phone to change a song, and was still looking down at the time of the crash. The man also admitted that he had been drinking prior to the collision, but refuse to give a breathalyzer test. Two blood samples were later taken. He faces two counts of second-degree murder, two counts of second-degree assault, driving while intoxicated and driving with a revoked license.

A personal injury attorney can stand up for the rights of seriously injured victims, or family member who lost a loved one due to a distracted and/or drunk driver. Often times, achieving maximum compensation can take months, even years. Unfortunately, the wait can send victims into financial ruin. For example, in this tragic accident, the family will incur funeral and burial expenses for the two children, as well as medical expenses for the parents. Depending on the parent’s recovery, they could incur costs associated with physical therapy and rehabilitation, disability, or a host of other expenses. They will most likely need a new car. All this will be in addition to their ordinary living expenses. What if they are out of work for months or indefinitely? What if they have little savings? To help them cope financially until a lawsuit settlement, the family can apply for pre-settlement lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit Financial understands the financial situation facing plaintiffs and knows the lengths that insurance companies will go through to reach a less-than-fair settlement offer. With a lawsuit cash advance, plaintiffs can level the playing field and push for justice.

Funding is based solely by the strength of the pending lawsuit. Unlike a bank loan, we do not require upfront fees, credit checks or employment verification, nor do we require monthly payments. We are repaid from the proceeds of the case, but if the case is lost we completely waive repayment of the cash advance.

If you are in a pending lawsuit and struggling financially, let Lawsuit Financial help you get back financial control of your life, allowing time for the justice system to work in your case. The application process is quick and easy, and can be done online or call our office at 1-877-377-7848 for a free, no-obligation evaluation of your case.

Hit-and-Run Drunk Driver Leaves Pedestrian for Dead in Middle of Road

A man has been charged with drunk driving in a hit-and-run accident that seriously injured a 21-year-old pedestrian.

According to a cab driver that witnessed the crash, the driver of a Kia Sorrento fled the scene after hitting a pedestrian attempting to cross the street. The victim was rushed to the hospital with extensive trauma to his head, including an inoperable brain bleed. He remains in critical condition; doctors said he is unlikely to recover.

The cab driver called 911 and pursued the driver for seven miles until police set up a roadblock. When police pulled the man over, they were hit with a stench of booze. The man was glassy-eyed and slurring his speech. A breath test revealed that he was intoxicated above the legal limit. He later charged with drunken driving, vehicular assault, driving without a license and leaving the scene of an accident. He also has a case pending from last month, when he was charged with menacing and weapons-possession charges.

Drunk drivers who cause car accidents face not only criminal penalties, but can be sued in civil court as well. A civil case comes in the form of a lawsuit filed by the injured victim, or in the case of a fatality, filed by the victim’s next of kin, to recover damages. But, drunk driving cases such as this one, are not a slam dunk as most people might think. Insurance companies are somewhat creative in defending drunk drivers’ cases. That is why victims should seek advice from an experienced auto accident attorney. Even then, it may take months if not years to reach a settlement. If money is tight, one solution is to secure a lawsuit cash advance, known as lawsuit funding.

These financial agreements offer litigants cash now in exchange for a portion of the future proceeds of the case. At Lawsuit Financial, there is no need for a credit check, employment verification, or monthly payments. This is risk-free funding because repayment is contingent upon a successful recovery. If the plaintiff loses the case, repayment is completely waived. After a contract is approved, funds can be available for immediate use within 24 – 48 hours, and tere are no restrictions on how the money is used.

If you are injured by a drunk driver, a civil suit could be your only recourse when attempting to recover the costs of medical treatment, lost wages, damaged property or other economic damages. After filing a lawsuit, if you are in need of fast cash, call Lawsuit Financial to learn how lawsuit funding can help your case and keep you financial afloat.

Lawsuit Financial Corporation, a leading national litigation funding company, reminds plaintiffs that we can help take financial pressure off everyday expenses during the holiday season.

It’s the holidays and you decide to stop at the mall on your way home from work. As you enter the expressway, another driver who just had three cocktails at a holiday work party, side-swipes your care sending you careening down an embankment. You are lucky to be alive, but now faced with a mountain of medical bills due to your injuries. You are unable to return to work for a least three months, have no car, and still have the shopping to finish. The insurance company refused to cooperate so you contact an auto accident attorney who agrees to take you case. Unfortunately, he says it will take at least six months to settle. Financially, you don’t have six months to wait.

Lawsuit Financial is all too familiar with the stress the holidays can bring when accident victims are seriously injured and strapped for cash. It is why we continuously remind plaintiffs that we can not only offer a lawsuit cash advance during this difficult time, but also financial tips through our Client Resource Center.

During the holiday season, it is more important than ever to help people in need cope with the financial pressures that can come with a pending lawsuit.

Typically, funding applications are approved within 24 - 48 hours; the money is wired or sent overnight mail almost immediately. The cash advance only needs to be repaid if, and when, the case successfully settles. If the funded client loses the case, the cash advance is completely waived.

Auto Accident Lawsuit Funding When Driver Negligence Takes Lives

When someone is fatally killed in an auto accident, family members will definitely be affected emotionally. Expenses associated with the accident can add up quickly; the family’s financial picture may far exceed their expectations. When emotions are high is not the time to make financial decisions. Often times, victims will settle for far less than the case is worth. Instead, consider auto accident lawsuit funding in order to wait for justice deserved.

Recently, there was a case in which the family of an auto accident victim filed a wrongful death lawsuit against a drunk driver. The fatal accident had occurred in 2013 when a drunk driver lost control of her vehicle and left the roadway before the car flipped over. The driver and one passenger suffered serious injuries; another passenger succumbed to injuries within hours of arriving at the hospital. Police said the driver’s alcohol level was 0.233%, three times the permissible legal limit.

The family of the deceased may consult a wrongful death attorney to seek compensation and justice. When an attorney begins a lawsuit, the amount of time prior to the lawsuit settling could take months, even years. If the family does not have the financial means to wait for the case to settle, lawsuit funding could be a viable option.

Lawsuit funding is a way for plaintiffs to get access to their financial settlement without the pressure of accepting an unreasonable offer from the insurance company. A lawsuit cash advance allows plaintiffs easy access to the funds they will received once a settlement is reached. Although the money can be used any way the client wishes, most often it is to pay funeral and burial expenses and other outstanding bills, as well as daily household expenses. Because funding is based solely on the merits of the case, there is no need for credit check or employment verification. Additionally, funding is on a non-recourse basis meaning that the plaintiff will only have to pay back the cash advance if compensation from the claim is received.

If you find yourself faced with a similar situation, consider lawsuit funding from Lawsuit Financial. We offer a free, simple and fast online application. Once we receive the application, we will contact your attorney for appropriate case documentation and work hard to get you an approval within a 1- 2 days.

Mark Bello is the CEO and General Counsel of Lawsuit Financial Corporation, a leader in the lawsuit funding industry and recognized by attorneys nationwide as a preferred choice for legal funding services.
