Patient Alleges Hospital Failed to Diagnose Vascular Condition that led to Amputation

A recent medical malpractice lawsuit alleges hospital negligence resulted in partial amputation of a patient’s leg.

The plaintiff alleges that on March 31, 2015, he was admitted to the defendant’s facility with pain in his right toe. Although he underwent various tests on his right leg, the doctor failed to diagnose vascular condition resulting in a partial leg amputation, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit alleges that the hospital failed to timely and properly transmit records to diagnose the correct treatment, failed to timely and properly communicate with the plaintiff's treating physicians, and failed to properly diagnose and treat the plaintiff's injury to avoid further damage.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks compensation in excess of $50,000 for permanent injuries, loss of normal life and medical.

Despite the fact that our legal system can help plaintiffs receive the compensation deserved, it is usually not a quick and easy process. In cases like this, the emotional, mental and physical stress is enough to deal with; the last thing this man needs to worry about is how to keep up with his financial obligations until a fair settlement is reached. The lawsuit funding industry was born out of such concerns.

When justice is slow in coming, a lawsuit cash advance can be the means to stay financially afloat. All that a plaintiff needs is attorney representation and have a case with merit. Applying for funding can be done online or with a quick phone call. Once a plaintiff completes a one-page application, documentation will be requested from the attorney. The review and decision process is typically handled within one day, and funds can be available for use within 24 – 48 hours of approval. There is no credit check or employment verification; all that matters is the strength of the case.

Once a lawsuit cash advance resolves a plaintiff's financial difficulties, he can patiently await the outcome of his case, without be forced to settle too early for too little. Best of all, repayment is only made after the plaintiff successfully settles; if the case is lost, repayment of the lawsuit cash advance is excused.

Patient Files Lawsuit Alleging Negligence during Spine Procedure

A woman has filed a lawsuit alleging insufficient measures were taken to prevent injuries during a spine procedure.

The complaint against a doctor and other health care providers alleges that the defendants placed a halo device on her head on Dec. 17, 2014, and subsequently tightened it, which caused protrusion into her brain. Two months later, she was taken to a hospital for headache and difficulty speaking. A CAT scan showed pneumocephalus, a condition in which gas is present in the skull. She was transferred to emergency to repair a spinal fluid leak.

The plaintiff alleges that as a result of medical negligence she suffered severe and permanent injuries, lost earning, and medical expenses. She holds the defendants responsible for allegedly failing to properly place the screws to affix the halo to her head, failing to properly evaluate the halo device, and failing to timely diagnose the protrusion of the screws.

The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks monetary relief of more than $200,000.

Filing, fighting, and winning a medical malpractice case is a complex process that can take a long time before it goes to court and/or culminates in a settlement or award. No one has limitless financial strength; victims may be living paycheck to paycheck or drowning in medical expenses, and other financial obligations. Once the plaintiff retains an attorney and files a claim, he/she is eligible for lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against a pending lawsuit that acts to supplement a plaintiff’s loss of income and help with unexpected expenses. The cash advance allows plaintiffs the ability to wait for a fair settlement without the financial pressure to settle too early for too little.

The application process takes less than five minutes. With no credit checks and no employment verification, the approval process can happen in less than 48 hours. All that is needed is case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney. If approved, a cash advance that could be wired to his bank account within 24 - 48 hours of approval. An important aspect of lawsuit funding is that it is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means that if the plaintiff loses the case, repayment of the advance is null and void. We only get paid back if, and when, a successful recovery on the case is made.

Lawsuit Financial Offers Financial Stability In Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death Cases


When a doctor does not provide proper treatment it can lead to serious complications or the death of the patient. Victims of medical malpractice or their families may be able to file a lawsuit against the doctor and/or hospital, seeking compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Once a lawsuit is filed, those suffering financially can apply for litigation funding.

The family of a deceased man recently filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against a doctor and medical facility claiming negligence resulted in the death of their loved one. According to the suit, after the man went to the hospital seeking medical treatment, doctors failed to request cardiac testing and therefore failed to diagnose a serious heart condition. The patient was discharged with no instructions or further medical attention given. He later suffered a heart attack and died. The lawsuit alleges that the doctor’s negligence caused the man’s heart condition to go undiagnosed and untreated, ultimately leading to his death.

Given the nature of this situation, a possible wrongful death involving a medical error or misdiagnosis, it may take years before the case goes to court and/or culminates in a settlement or award. No one has limitless financial strength. Plaintiffs often face financial hardship trying to make ends meet with ordinary cost of living expenses, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and the loss of income. When this happens, litigation funding may be a viable solution.

Litigation funding is a cash advance against the future settlement of the case, often be approved within 24 – 48 hours. It helps a plaintiff remain in a case longer in order to pursue a larger, more favorable settlement. There are no up-front fees or monthly payments and no credit checks or employment verification. Best of all, repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the case is lost, repayment of the cash advance is completely waived. Although there are no restrictions as to how the money is used, litigation funding should be used sparingly and wisely. It should be used to pay for life’s necessities such as food, medical bills, mortgage payments and other important daily expenses that become difficult due to serious injury, disability or death.

Were you or a loved one the victim of medical negligence? Pain and suffering, emotional stress, and loss of income are only a few of the reasons you may be able to file a medical negligence claim. An attorney can help determine if you have a winnable case and help you seek the compensation you deserve. After filing a lawsuit, if you need financial assistance while waiting for justice to be served, contact a Lawsuit Financial to discuss your case funding situation.

Litigation Funding Fills a Need Caused by Settlement Delays


Are you a personal injury victim anxiously waiting for your case to settle, but need a cash to pay medical bills and basic living expenses? Financial needs and pressure can drive plaintiffs and attorneys to settle for less than they deserve. Ideally, you would be able to turn to credit cards or a bank loan. The problem with these options is that you are required to make monthly payments and even if your lawsuit is unsuccessful, you are still required to pay back your debt. You may be able to turn to family or friends, but what happens to the relationship if your case is lost and you can’t repay the money borrowed? One other alternative is litigation funding.
Litigation funding is a financial transaction where a plaintiff sells a portion of the future proceeds of his/her lawsuit in exchange for immediate cash. While a lawsuit cash advance can be a very valuable resource to someone who can’t get the money they need, it is more costly than other means and should only be used as a last resort.
Here are a few advantages of litigation funding:
  • Approvals based on strength of case only
  • No need for a credit check
  • No need for employment verification
  • No collateral required
  • No monthly payments; the cash advance is repaid from the proceeds of the case
  • Approvals typically within 24 – 48 hours
  • Money sent by wire transfer or overnight mail within 24 – 4 hours of approval
  • No risk. If your case is unsuccessful, you will never be required to pay us back
Don’t walk away from your case with anything less than the best settlement amount, and don’t spend months, or even years waiting for the money that you are entitled to for your pain and suffering. When you need litigation funding to meet financial obligations, Lawsuit Financial is here to help. Case we fund include, but are not limited to:
  • Auto accidents
  • Slip and fall cases
  • Medical malpractice cases
  • Pedestrian Accidents
  • Boating Accidents
  • Wrongful Death cases
