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

A lawsuit has been filed against a nursing
home facility in which the plaintiff alleges negligent care caused her loved
one to suffer pressure ulcers.
According to the claim, between late 2014
and early 2015, the nursing home did not adequately supervise the resident to
avoid the development of pressure ulcers or provide immediate medical
treatment. The plaintiff seeks judgment in an amount greater than $50,000.
Nursing
home lawsuits usually take years before a settlement is reached. With bills
continuously adding up, the ability to wait for a fair settlement may not be an
option without the help of litigation
funding. Litigation funding is a means for plaintiffs to pay medical
expenses or other necessary bills as a result of injury and/or disability without
worrying about jeopardizing their credit. The strategic advantage of a ‘lawsuit
loan’ is that it provides the plaintiff the financial strength to await for a
reasonable offer from the insurance company or defendant. That means the
ability to refuse all low ball settlement offers.
This form of legal funding is not like a
traditional loan, so 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. There are no monthly payments; repayment is made
once the case settles. Additionally, the money is provided on a non-recourse
basis meaning it does not have to be repaid in the event of a lost case. Once
the determination has been made to provide funding, cash can be made available
in as little as 24-hours. There are no restrictions on how the lawsuit cash
advance is used.
If you or a loved one suffered
physical or emotional injuries because a nursing home was negligent or failed
to fulfill its care obligations to you and your family, you may have grounds
for a nursing home negligence case. Contact an experience attorney as soon as
possible. Once the lawsuit is underway, if you are feeling the pressure to
settle, litigation funding can be the monetary flexibility needed to hold out
for a greater settlement. Contact Lawsuit
