Semi-trailer ‘Black Box’ Technology Aids in Crash Investigation

Trucking accidents cause thousands of catastrophic and devastating injuries and deaths each year, resulting in lawsuits which can often take an extended time to settle. During this time, victims may be faced with mounting medical bills, mortgage payments, household bills, or even worse – funeral expenses. The financial strain can not only seriously impacts one’s life, it can also impact the case. Litigation funding may be the best non-risk solution to avoid an early settlement.

A mother, father, and 3-year-old daughter were killed when a semi driver ran a red light and T-boned their Jeep Cherokee. After hitting the Jeep, the truck hit two other vehicles. Those drivers were treated and released at the scene. The truck driver was transported to the hospital for serious injuries after a two-hour effort to extricate him from the semi.

The preliminary investigation pointed to inattentive driving by the semi operator as the cause of the accident. Police are reviewing footage available from gas station surveillance cameras that were located next to the wreck, and also said they have pulled the semi’s “black box” which indicates that the semi driver was speeding. The investigation is ongoing.

The last thing the family of the deceased needs is to face legal and financial issues, but it is important for them to contact an experienced attorney to understand their rights.
No matter how obvious it may appear that the truck driver is at fault, this is by no means an open and shut case. The claim can still take years to settle as the trucking company and its insurance provider do everything in their power to avoid liability. They may claim the semi suffered an unforeseeable mechanical issue or even that the victims were at least partially negligent.

Wrongful death accidents such as this one often financial hardship. If family and friends can’t provide monetary support until the case settles, where else can the family turn for help?

Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance against the future proceeds of the case. It is a smart, strategic move because it allows plaintiffs pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and ongoing monthly bills during the litigation process.

Once a request for funding is received, Lawsuit Financial works directly with the plaintiff’s attorney to determine the strength of the case. Credit standing and employment history are not factors in our funding decision. Most times, we can have a funding decision within 24 – 48 hours. Best of all, there are no payments until the case settles. If the case is lost, the cash advance does not have to be repaid. Where else can you obtain a “risk-free lawsuit loan”?

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in an auto accident, begin by consulting an experienced attorney. Once you are in a pending lawsuit, if you need financial assistance, call Lawsuit Financial or complete our online application. It may be the difference between settling for less too early and waiting for a fair judgment later.

Patient Files Malpractice Lawsuit Claiming she fell from Operating Table during Surgery

A woman recently filed a lawsuit alleging medical malpractice occurred during her appendectomy on April 18, 2014.

The lawsuit claims that the patient fell from the operating table while doctors were attempting to tilt it sideways to gain better access to her appendix. As a result, the woman said she suffers health issues, especially prolonged pain and complications to her neck and shoulder.

The surgeon, anesthesiologist, as well as the hospital are named as defendants. The plaintiff is seeking an undisclosed amount in damages.

The plaintiff’s attorney said details about the incident are scarce because of Washington state law that gives caregivers immunity to discovery or disclosure when medical malpractice is alleged.

“There’s a lot of what happened to her that we’re going to have to use other legal means to find out,” the attorney said. “What kind of operating table was it? Who had the controls for the tilting the table? Was it controlled by foot pedal that the surgeon was operating? We don’t know because they haven’t told us.”

If you believe that you have been injured by medical malpractice, an experienced attorney can help determine if you have a viable case under the laws of your state. Medical malpractice cases are complex, and often take years to settle. This case will undoubtedly be no different.

No one has unlimited financial resources; most victims already live paycheck to paycheck. Add unexpected medical expenses to ordinary financial obligations and a plaintiff could quickly face financial devastation.

Plaintiffs with attorney representation and a strong case with merit often find financial relief through litigation funding. This lawsuit cash advance is provided risk-free, usually within 24 – 48 hours.

The process begins with a one-page application, completed online or over the phone. Next, a funding specialist at Lawsuit Financial will request case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. The application and documentation are reviewed, and if the case is approved for funding, we will send the funds via overnight mail or wire transfer once a contract is signed. We required no upfront fees, credit check, or employment verification. The most appealing benefits of litigation funding is that there are no payments until the case is settled, and if the case is lost, the cash advance does not need to be repaid.

If you believe you or a family member has been seriously injured from medical malpractice, a medical error, or the negligence of a health care provider, you may have grounds for a medical malpractice lawsuit. Once your lawsuit is filed by an attorney, contact Lawsuit Financial so you can wait for a fair settlement without the financial pressure to settle too early for too little.

On a Day Honoring Mothers, a Woman Gave Her Own Life to Save her Daughter

A Mother’s Day walk ended tragically for one family after a woman saved her daughter from an out-of-control vehicle.

As a mother and daughter walked side-by-side on their way home from church, an 80-year-old woman was backing out of a diagonal parking spot along the street. For unknown reasons at this time, the woman’s 2005 Toyota Corolla went onto the sidewalk. Seeing the vehicle coming towards them, the mother grabbed her teen daughter, pushing her out of the way before the vehicle hit a firehouse. Police said the vehicle clipped the daughter, but the mother was pinned underneath. Bystanders rushed to the scene and pushed the Corolla off the woman and administered CPR until first responders arrived. She was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her daughter and the driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Corolla was impounded for a safety check and the investigation is continuing. Every detail is critical in order to determine how the incident happened. Did the driver fail to put the car in drive after backing up? Was there a mechanical failure?

Even if there are no criminal charges filed against the driver, the family of the deceased woman may still be able to seek compensation for their loss under a wrongful death lawsuit. The best way to proceed is to consult and experienced auto accident attorney.

Should a lawsuit be filed and pressing financial concerns arise, the family may be interesting in learning about litigation funding.

Litigation funding is a means to obtain quick access to cash without the need for employment verification or a credit check. With a solid lawsuit as collateral, plaintiffs can apply for litigation funding and receive much needed cash within 24 – 48 hours. There are no monthly payments, and best of all, if the case is lost there is no obligation to repay the cash advance.

If you are the victim of an auto-pedestrian accident, don’t struggle financially during your pending claim and don’t settle for less than you deserve when our services may be a valuable asset to you. Let Lawsuit Financial help meet your financial obligations as you wait for your case to settle.

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to the negligence of another driver, in a pending, attorney-represented lawsuit, and need fast cash, litigation funding may help you survive during the pursuit of your personal injury or wrongful death claim. You owe it to yourself to contact Lawsuit Financial Corporation. We are a direct lender for litigation funding that often provides cash advances within 24 – 48 hours. Our experienced and professional litigation funding staff is waiting to answer your questions and help you understand the lawsuit finance process. We can also provide a free, no-obligation case evaluation.

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 Alleges Pressure Ulcers Allowed to “Persist and Deteriorate” Led To Wrongful Death

When you place your elderly loved one in a care facility, you expect that your loved one will be well-cared for and safe. Unfortunately, negligence is all too common resulting in serious injuries or death. A lawsuit may be the only way to seek justice and compensation for one’s loss. It may also be a means to improve safety and quality of care.

A lawsuit alleges that fatal pressure ulcers were allowed to develop and deteriorate, ultimately causing a patient’s death.

According to the claim, a number of defendants were negligent in their medical care and directly responsible for causing the woman’s death. The plaintiff says the defendants failed to administer and utilize proper care of the patient over the course of her stay in residential care and various hospital admissions from March 2015 to August 2015, leading her wounds to “persist and deteriorate.” As a direct result, the patient sustained serious injuries, including but not limited to, the development and/or deterioration of multiple pressure ulcers, including a stage IV sacral pressure ulcer, and death,” the suit says.

The plaintiff is seeking damages in excess of $50,000.

The time between when the lawsuit was filed and a settlement is reach could stretch over years – time that is financially difficult for many plaintiffs. When the ability to wait for compensation is not an option, litigation funding may be.

Litigation funding is a cash advance based on the predicted outcome of a case. It may be the only financial means to pay the bills until a fair settlement can be obtained. With bills paid and creditors at bay, plaintiffs can concentrate on healing, and their attorney has more time to seek full compensation. Receiving funding is based solely on the strength of the case. If the case is reviewed and appears to be winnable, the request for funding will most likely be approved.

Litigation funding comes with no risk to the plaintiff because funding is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means that the plaintiff pays nothing until the case settles, at which time the legal finance company is repaid directly from the case proceeds. If the plaintiff loses, the repayment is waived completely.

If you suffered physical or emotional injuries, or lost a loved one, due to negligence by a trusted care provider, you may have grounds for a personal injury or wrongful death case. Contact an experience attorney as soon as possible. If you are seeking financial assistance during this time, contact Lawsuit Financial. We may be able to devise a legal finance plan to assist you through the difficult time as you wait for a larger, injury appropriate settlement. Call us today at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) to discuss your financial needs or complete our online application to get started.

Family of Elderly Man Killed in Golf Cart Death Obtains Settlement

Every year in the U.S. there are approximately 15,000 golf cart accidents that result in injuries serious enough to warrant a visit to the hospital, according to data collected by the Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC). Only about half of golf cart accidents actually occur on golf courses.

Injuries occur most often when passengers fall out of a moving cart after the driver makes a sharp turn without warning. Why? The “open air” design of a golf cart and its lack of safety mechanisms such as seat belts provides very little support for passengers. Additionally, the rear-facing seats on the back of the cart do nothing to prevent someone from being ejected during bumps or sharp turns. Not only can golf cart accidents lead to injuries and death, they can also lead to litigation.

A confidential settlement has been reached in a 2015 lawsuit that was filed after a 75-year-old man who died following a brain injury after falling from a golf cart at an apartment complex.
The deceased man and his wife had recently moved from Alaska to Texas to be closer to their children and grandchildren. Searching for a new apartment, a leasing agent offered to show the couple a few different model apartments using the property’s golf cart, which was frequently used to travel within the apartment complex. The woman sat in the front seat with the leasing agent while her husband sat in the rear seat. The leasing agent reversed the golf cart and began driving towards one of the property’s gates, when suddenly and without warning, she made an unexpected tight left turn. With no seat belts or hand-holds for the back seat and carrying an umbrella in one hand, the man was thrown from the cart, according to the lawsuit. He struck his head on the pavement, suffering brain injuries that ultimately led to his death eight days later.

The lawsuit alleged that the employee acted in negligence when she did not forewarn the visitors about the missing safety features of the golf cart and for driving recklessly, resulting in the man’s death. The family sought $1 million in damages; the final settlement amount has not been disclosed. The apartment complex has since added seat belts to the golf cart and changed its safety and training policies, said the plaintiff’s attorney.

When it comes to filing a legal claim such as this, your most valuable asset is an experienced attorney. Once you have filed a lawsuit, if your finances are stretched thin to the point that you can’t pay important bills, you may be able to obtain short-term financial relief with litigation funding.

Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance that provides the staying power necessary to avoid settling for pennies on the dollar. It will put you in a better position to recover full compensation for damages incurred. Once the case is reviewed, if approved for funding, the money can be available within 24 - 48 hours. Litigation funding is risk-free; if you don’t win, you are not required to pay back the lawsuit cash advance.

If you are seeking financial relief during a pending personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, contact Lawsuit Financial to learn how a lawsuit cash advance can help you.

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.

Family Files Wrongful Death Suit After Couple Dies from Separate Falls at Oregon Nursing Home

Falls in nursing homes are common because residents are generally older, have more chronic conditions, and have difficulty walking. The nursing staff must properly assess a patient for a fall risk and then devise a plan that would minimize the risk for a fall. Failure to do so, can give rise to a nursing home lawsuit.

The family of an elderly couple has filed a wrongful death lawsuit after the couple died within two months of each other at a nursing home in which they lived. The suit cites incompetent and negligent care led to the deaths.

The lawsuit alleges that both patients were classified as high fall risk when they were admitted to the facility. The male resident fell 13 times within an 8 month period; his wife fell at least four times. The male patient also never received doctor recommended therapy to reduce his risks of falling, according to the complaint.

In addition to the nursing home, a hospice center is named as a defendant. After the male patient fell in November 2014, he was transferred to hospice care. The lawsuit alleges that the center gave pain medication without proper nutrition, ultimately causing the man to die from a medication error.

The female patient died two months after her husband, and four days after falling while a staff member pushed her in a wheelchair. The lawsuit alleges that negligence against her also includes a disturbing incident where fruit flies were discovered in her mouth from not receiving proper dental care.

A third defendant, a rehabilitation facility, allegedly engaged in a fraudulent deal to share patients with the nursing home, without making residents aware of this arrangement.

As lawsuits often uncover, the nursing home was found to have been reported to the Oregon Department of Human Services 20 times in the last 4 years alone for not preventing injuries sustained at their facility. The plaintiffs are asking $2.7 million from the three defendants.

Suing a nursing home for negligence is not an easy decision, and one that can lead to years of litigation. That doesn’t mean you should not fight for justice, even if your finances are impacted by the decision. With litigation funding, plaintiffs have the ability to stay financially afloat and wait for the largest possible settlement.

Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advances that allows plaintiffs to receive a portion of their settlement upfront, without risk, while the case is being resolved. The funds can be used for medical expenses, funeral expenses, daily household bills, and more; there are no restrictions on how the cash advance is used. Litigation funding is not a loan; factors such as employment history and financial standing are not required. The only concern is the validity of the lawsuit and the likelihood of its success. Unlike a bank loan, there are no monthly payments; repayment is made once the case successfully settles. If the plaintiff does not win, the repayment is waived.

Once an application and case documentation are received, the in-house underwriters at Lawsuit Financial will review the strength of the case. If approved for funding, the cash advance can be available in as little as 24 hours.

Are you currently in a pending nursing home lawsuit, but struggling with the bills? Acquiring a lawsuit cash advance can be the monetary flexibility needed to hold out for a greater settlement. Call Lawsuit Financial to discuss your financial needs or apply for funding online.

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.

Innocent Woman Killed In DUI Street-Racing Crash

According to police reports, two men were street racing when the driver of a BMW struck a woman’s SUV. The SUV then veered into another lane and was struck by the other street-racer’s vehicle. The female driver of the SUV died the next day from internal injuries. The fatal crashed happened on a busy road in Frontenac, Missouri on July 8, 2016.

A lawyer for the family of the deceased woman said two vehicles were racing at more than 110 mph before the crash, based on accident reconstruction analysis and downloads of “black box” recorder data from the racing vehicles. He said the family was waiting until the investigation was complete to decide whether to file a wrongful-death case.

Authorities originally said they planned to seek manslaughter charges against both men, but recently the driver of the BMW was charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors said the second-degree murder charge was warranted because the man has a prior offense of driving while intoxicated. He pleaded guilty of driving while intoxicated in 2001 in St. Charles County, and he was convicted in 2002 of a similar crime in Los Angeles, according to records.

It is always a tragedy to lose a family member to a senseless act such as this, but the pain in this case may be worse knowing that this fatal crash was caused by a man who made a career out of defending people such as this victim and her family. As a personal injury attorney he was well aware of the consequences of his negligent actions.

If a lawsuit is filed and the plaintiffs need financial assistance, they may want to consider auto accident litigation funding. Auto accident lawsuit funding is a service that provides financial assistance to victims and their families while they wait for their case to be concluded and for justice to prevail.

Litigation funding will help pay necessary bills and expenses, such as medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, auto payments, rent, and other damages as a result of injuries or loss. It is provided based on the merits of the case and the time it will take to achieve that outcome. Funding can often be available in less than 48 hours after receipt of a completed application. There are no monthly fees, no credit checks, and no employment verification. Repayment of the cash advance is only required when the case concludes successfully. If the plaintiff loses, the repayment is waived in its entirety.

Financial relief during the litigation process is only a phone call away. But, it is important to choose an experienced funding company to guide you appropriately. Lawsuit Financial has been a leader in the legal finance industry for over 17 years. We are one of a few legal funding companies where funding comes from our own resources. Don’t let the finish line leave you settling too early for too little. Call us today to discuss funding options available for your case.
