Plaintiff’s Road to Short-Term Financial Stability May Begin with Lawsuit Funding

A 21-year-old man was on his way home from work when hid right tire lost tread, and he lost control of the vehicle. His SUV rolled several times and crossed the median before hitting another vehicle. The driver of the SUV was pronounced dead at the scene; his passenger was transported to the hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries. Both men were wearing seat belts, and there’s no indication of speeding or alcohol at this time, according to the highway patrol. A family of five, including three children, were in the other vehicle. They were all transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Was the tire defective? Did the tread peel off with no warning? Were there obvious signs of wear and tear that went unnoticed by the young driver? These are questions to be considered during an investigation. If it is determined that the tire was defective, the family of the deceased man may have a product liability lawsuit against the tire manufacturer.

The journey to reach through the litigation process will be a long one. The legal battle could also impact the family’s financial position until a settlement or a damage award can be obtained. One way to minimize the financial impact is to seek a lawsuit cash advance from a professional lawsuit funding company.

A lawsuit cash advance, known as lawsuit funding, can address short-term financial difficulties, relieving any pressure to settle too soon for too little. At Lawsuit Financial, we fund cases based solely on the merits of the case; personal valuables and credit history are not at risk. Furthermore, lawsuit funding is provided on a no-risk basis. Repayment is made through the proceeds of the case, but if the case is lost, the repayment of the cash advance is completely waived.

The road to financial freedom starts by calling Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377-7848 or by completing our fast and easy funding application. If the case qualifies, we can have funds available in less than 48 hours.

Lawsuit Financial would also like to take this time to remind drivers about tire safety. As tires age, they begin to dry out and become potentially dangerous. Your tires may look fine, but rubber degrades over time. When traveling at highway speeds, the tread could peel off leading to loss of control. Heat will wear a tire faster, increasing the chance of a flat or blow out. Make sure to inspect your tires carefully, especially if you have teen drivers. There inexperience behind the wheel can be even more dangerous if a tire fails while they are driving. Take 15 minutes out of your afternoon to help protect you and your loved ones for a lifetime.

Product Recalls And Lawsuit Funding


A dangerous or defective product is one that does not meet standards that we can reasonably expect. Sometimes manufacturers are aware of the fault but fail to recall them in time, some products are poorly designed or the result of a manufacturing flaw. Some manufacturers fail to carry out adequate checks. When situations like this occur, they often lead to serious personal injuries or deaths.
Several recalls were announced last week, including two expansions on prior recalls.\
Dräger Medical expanded a prior recall on ventilators used in hospitals as well as during patient transport. The Evita V500 Ventilator provides constant breathing support for adults and children, including premature babies weighing at least 14 ounces. The Babylog VN500 provides constant breathing support for premature babies weighing at least 14 ounces. Both ventilators are used in hospitals or during patient transport. In December 2015, Dräger recalled the PS500 battery power supply because a software issue causes shorter than expected battery run times. It also prevents the appropriate alarm from sounding 5 minutes before the battery runs out of power and the device shuts down. If the ventilator shuts down, a patient may not receive necessary oxygen which could cause patient injury or death. The FDA classified it as a Class I recall, the most serious type of recall. Last week the company expanded the recall to include the PS500 Optional Power Supply units that were updated with new software as part of the December recall. The company updated its software to elongate the battery life of the ventilators, but the new software did not fix the problem. Dräger Medical will now replace all affected PS500 power supply units. The recall affects 2,501 units across the U.S.
Toyota announced it is adding the 2008 Toyota Corolla, 2008 Toyota Matrix (also called the Toyota Corolla Matrix), and the 2008-2010 Lexus SC430 to its list of recalled models due to involvement of Takata airbags. An additional 198,000 vehicles were pulled this week.
Manufacturers and retailers are responsible for taking reasonable steps to make sure that the products they make and sell are as safe as possible. When an unsafe product causes serious harm or death, a “products liability” suit may be appropriate. This area of litigation is specialized, and can take years to settle. In order to secure damages, an attorney must prove that the product contained inherent design defects, was badly manufactured or assembled, or built in such a way that safety features could fail or be dismantled. Manufacturers can also be held liable for failure to warn consumers of potential harm from the product’s intended use or likely use. In the meantime, manufacturers and retailers will go to great lengths to defend their products, even when the dangers they caused are undeniable and could easily have been avoided.
If you have been injured or lost a loved one due to a dangerous or defective product, consult an attorney immediately. If you are unable to work, bills are piling up, and important financial obligations are being neglected because you don’t have the resources needed, contact Lawsuit Financial.

Lawsuit Financial is the Answer for Legal Financing Needs



While there are thousands of serious injuries from defective products every year, product manufacturers will only offer safety improvements after they are faced with a significant volume of product liability lawsuits.  A product liability lawsuit can be filed on the basis of a design defect, manufacturing defect, or failure to warn.  When an individual files a lawsuit for a products liability case they are typically holding the manufacture, wholesaler or retailer responsible for the injury.  For those people who are in the need of immediate cash while waiting for compensation, Lawsuit Financial, a leading provider of non-recourse lawsuit funding, can help.  We provide plaintiffs with short-term financing by advancing money against the future proceeds of lawsuits. This minimizes financial pressures on plaintiffs until they receive fair compensation.

It was a rush hour traffic accident, one of almost a thousand traffic deaths on our roadways every year. A moment of inattention. A tragedy that could so easily happen to any family on any given day.  The SUV driven by a 23-year-old pregnant woman was rear-ended by a 60-year-old driver of a 2002 Cadillac, forcing her 2003 Jeep Liberty into a Nissan Cube.  The Jeep overturned and caught fire.  An autopsy determined the cause of death was burns and smoke inhalation.  It is unclear if the fire began with the fuel tank or how fast the other vehicle was traveling when it struck the Liberty.  Although an investigation is ongoing and may take 4 to 6 weeks, police stated that the man was unable to stop as traffic slowed in the right due to inattentiveness.  They are working on obtaining cell phone records to see if he may have texting or talking on the phone at the time of the accident.

The Jeep Liberty was part of Chrysler’s recall campaign last year of Jeep Liberty’s and Grand Cherokees at risk of catching fire during a rear-end collision.  According to a search of the vehicle's VIN number through NHTSA, the Jeep had not been fitted with a trailer hitch as a result of the recall to better protect the gas tank during a rear-end accident. It is not clear whether she had responded to letters about the prescribed repair or whether it would have saved her.

The deceased woman’s family is pursuing a product liability lawsuit against the automaker.  It is unknown whether they will file a claim against the Cadillac driver.  If they are seeking a lawsuit cash advance to help cover expenses until the case settles, completing an online application is the place to start.  Lawsuit Financial can help secure wrongful death lawsuit funding as a result of a defective product and driver negligence. We offer non-recourse funding which means repayment of the cash advance is only made once the case settles, but if the case is lose, the repayment is waived.  We required no application fee, monthly payments, or credit checks.  Once we receive a request for funding, we contact the plaintiffs’ attorney for documentation to determine case strength.  If the case is approved for funding, the plaintiff can have cash in hand within 24 – 48 hours. It is that simple!
