Road Rage Widow Files Lawsuit

Is your personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit taking too long to settle? Has your insurance company refused to pay under your uninsured motorist benefits? Are your bills piling up and you need help? Lawsuit Financial may be able to provide a lawsuit cash advance to help you survive financially and avoid debt.

An Oklahoma man was one of two people allegedly shot as he drove along Interstate 40 the night of Dec. 16, 2015 during what authorities believe was a random act of road rage. His wife, who was a passenger in the vehicle, was uninjured. She recently filed a lawsuit against her husband’s accused killer, as well as the couple’s own insurance company that has not paid uninsured motorist benefits to date. No amount of damages has been specified in the lawsuit.

While this case may be a rare form of road rage, it doesn’t negate the fact that road rage is causing more and more car accidents each year. As of 2015, there were more than ten times as many fatal crashes due to road rage than in 2004. Most road rage incidents involve drivers who react with anger toward other drivers. Often, the very behaviors they are angry about are the same kind of behaviors they themselves react with: aggressive driving behaviors like tailgating, weaving between lanes, cutting people off or expressions of hostility.

If you have been involved in an accident due to road rage, you have legal recourse. You may seek compensation for pain and suffering, loss wages, loss of consortium, medical expenses, funeral expenses, property damages and out of pocket expenses. If you have lost a love one due to road rage, you may follow a wrongful death lawsuit.

Waiting for a settlement may take a toll on your life because these cases often take years to resolve. Even if a settlement is forthcoming, the legal process will typically take longer than you can financially withstand. To avoid settling too soon or facing bankruptcy or foreclosure, you can seek help from Lawsuit Financial.

Lawsuit Financial provides assistance to cash-strapped plaintiffs in the form of a lawsuit cash advance. The best part of this cash advance, known as lawsuit funding is that it is risk-free. Repayment is only made once the case successfully settles; there is no obligation to repay if the case is lost.

Our application process takes less than five minutes. Once received, we will contact your attorney for pertinent case documentation. Approval typically takes between 24 – 48 hours. There are no application fees, monthly payments, or credit checks; we base funding solely on the merits of your case. To apply, simply click here or call our office toll-free at 1-877-377-7848.

Florida Motorcyclists Run Over In Memorial Day Road Rage Incident

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is now investigating a road rage incident after two motorcycle riders were hurt when a driver ran them over just north of Tampa, Florida. The incident was recorded by a nearby driver after he heard an altercation break out between the driver of the car and a group of bikers.

After exchanging words, the driver of the vehicle ran over a motorcycle, knocking the driver and his female passenger to the ground before driving off. Several witnesses followed the man until he was caught by police a short time later. The couple knocked off the biker were taken to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The hit-and-run driver was charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and leaving the scene of an accident involving injury. He is also accused of sideswiping one of the witnesses who followed him. The nature of the argument has not been disclosed.

The victims can file a personal injury suit against the negligent driver and his insurance company. Since assault and battery are intentional acts, in addition to compensatory damages for injuries, the victims can also seek punitive damages against the negligent driver. But, auto accident lawsuits can be very complex by nature and sometimes result in a lengthy and stressful litigation process. Insurance companies are represented by some of the most tenacious defense attorneys that are backed by deep pockets which can result in dragging a case out for months or even years. Unfortunately for some victims are not financially stable to wait out the process, especially with unexpected medical expenses.

Although most auto accidents undergo lengthy lawsuits, victims should not have to worry about finances. Auto accident lawsuit funding can help plaintiffs sustain their daily as well as monthly financial obligations in order to hold out for full compensation for their injuries.

Lawsuit Financial is one of the experienced in the legal finance industry, and our application process is among the quickest and easiest. There is no credit check or employment verification, and no application fee. Once you apply, we work directly with your attorney to quickly assess the strength of the case. If your case qualifies for funding, we will prepare a contract to be signed by you and your attorney. Then the lawsuit cash advance can be wire transferred or sent by overnight delivery. All this could be accomplished within 24 – 48 hours. Best of all, our legal funding only requires repayment if you receive a favorable cash settlement award. If your case is lost, the repayment is waived.

If you have been involved in an accident due to road rage, you have legal recourse. Once you are represented by an attorney and have filed a lawsuit, you are eligible for lawsuit funding. Call Lawsuit Financial at (877) 377-7848 or complete an online application for a case funding evaluation today.

Road Rage Blamed for Deadly Accident


A Kentucky driver said he witnessed something he had never seen before – road rage.  According to an accident report, the witness said on October 12 he watched a red pickup truck and a red Ford Explorer tailgating, changing speeds rapidly, and cutting each other off for miles. All of a sudden, the driver of the Explorer lost control and flipped the vehicle.  The witness stated that just before the accident, the driver of the Explorer made a rapid lane change from the far left lane all the way over to the right lane, hit a guardrail, and flipped several times.  The driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle; he was pronounced dead at the scene.  Four days later, police were notified by an attorney for the driver of the pickup.

The dangers of road rage should never get in the way of safely reaching your destination. Ultimately it's up to all of us to help prevent road rage. By recognizing the signs in others and ourselves, we can significantly reduce road rage accidents and perhaps help save a life.  An angry driver can’t start a fight unless another is willing to join in. Don’t be tempted to retaliate. It could be a decision you regret later. Instead, give the angry driver plenty of space. Isn’t that better than finding yourself in a potentially dangerous situation? Avoid eye contact and if necessary, seek help. Remember, the most important thing when it comes to protecting yourself is that there is nothing to gain from willfully engaging in a physical confrontation with an angry person. The so-called winner can face legal ramifications and the so-called loser may face permanent injuries or death.

If you have been seriously injured or a loved one has been killed in any type of auto accident or personal injury accident, only an experienced attorney can tell you whether you have a right to compensation. If an attorney takes your case and files a lawsuit, pre-settlement funding may be available to assist you through difficult financial circumstances caused by a serious or fatal auto accident.

Lawsuit Financial provides legal funding to injury victims and their families. We have helped many families, through difficult times, following a tragic loss. We understand the difficulties they are facing; we are sensitive to their concerns.  Don't settle your valuable case too early for too little due to financial difficulties. Apply for lawsuit funding by visiting our website or calling us at 1-877-377-SUIT. The call is free; the advice is priceless.
