Customer Blames Supermarket for Injuries

When people slip and fall, they often believe it was their own fault. In reality, when a property owner fails to maintain their premise safe or fails to warn visitors of potential hazards, the victim may seek compensation for damages incurred.

A woman has filed a lawsuit against a major supermarket chain alleging the store’s negligence led to her slip-and-fall injuries.

The lawsuit alleges that the plaintiff was shopping in the paper products aisle when she suddenly slipped and fell due to a liquid substance on the floor. As a result, the woman says she suffered physical injuries, damages, and incurred medical expenses. According to the claim, the defendant failed to uphold its duty to maintain and keep its premise safe, failed to post signage to warn customers that the area was slippery, and failed to mop up the liquid in a timely manner. The plaintiff seeks a trial by jury and damages up to $50,000.

This plaintiff should be prepared for a long legal battle. Large supermarket chains have high-powered attorneys well versed in how to litigate cases, making it difficult for an innocent victim to receive the compensation he/she may be entitled to obtain. They will drag out the case as long as possible hoping the plaintiff will give up due to financial needs. For those struggling financially to pay additional expenses compounded by lost wages, lawsuit funding may be helpful.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance giving a plaintiff the staying power necessary to avoid settling for pennies on the dollar. It puts a plaintiff in a better position to fully recover the highest possible settlement. Once an application and supporting documentation is received, Lawsuit Financial will review the merits of the case. If approved, the cash advance can be receive in 24 – 48 hours.

Lawsuit funding does not require a credit check, employment verification, or collateral. Best of all, funds are only repaid when the case settles. If the plaintiff does not win the case, the cash advance is completely waived.

If you have filed a slip and fall lawsuit, are being represented by an attorney, and in need of immediate cash while waiting for compensation in your case, contact Lawsuit Financial to learn more about lawsuit funding and how it can help you and your case.

Lawsuit Funding Helps Personal Injury Claim Victims Seek Justice

Thousands of people suffer from a personal injury each year, and while you might want to imagine that it could never happen to you or someone you love, it can. The most common types of personal injury claims -- a means for an injured person to collect damages if he/she is injured by the actions or negligence or another person or entity -- are auto accidents, slip and falls, and defective products. When this is the case, you may be eligible to receive financial compensation in the form of a settlement.

Depending on the type and the severity of the injury, medical expenses can reach thousands of dollars or more, pain and suffering can last years and some injuries can put a victim out of work for life. Although you may have insurance to cover some medical expenses, it may not be enough.

Personal injury claims are designed to help victims seek compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, long or short term disabilities, but may also seek redress for emotional or psychological injuries. Even if the injuries incurred are minor and temporary, filing a personal injury claim may award substantial restitution, and in some cases, the victim may seek punitive damages. It is in your best interest to find an experienced attorney knowledgeable in your type of injury and who can help determine whether or not you should pursue your personal injury claim or lawsuit, and if so, your case value including medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Whether you file a claim or lawsuit, you will need to provide proof of medical expenses, missed days of work, medical records, police reports and anything else that proves the severity of your injuries. The insurance company uses this information to process a claim amount. A claim is between both involved parties and their insurance company, who will disperse the amount of money they feel your injury is worth. If, however, you feel your injuries are worth more than the settlement offer, you may choose to file a personal injury lawsuit.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit is not about greed, but justice and receiving fair compensation; it can also help prevent such negligence from being repeated. Unfortunately, many times these lawsuits will take months, even years to resolve. When injury victims feel forced, by financial circumstances, to consider settlements too early and for too little, they should contact Lawsuit Financial.

Lawsuit Financial knows about financial pressures from insurance companies and deep pocket defendants who have all the time and money in the world. Insurance companies and their attorneys are not injured, they are not missing work. Settlement or not, they can feed their families and take care of life's necessities. We can provide plaintiffs with lawsuit funding to take care of life's necessities (mortgage, rent, food, utilities, gas, car payments, medical expenses, transportation, etc) to reduce the financial pressures of an early settlement.

Lawsuit funding is not a “lawsuit loan.” There are not credit checks, employment verification, upfront fees or monthly payments, and it is not paid back, until the plaintiffs successfully settles. Should the plaintiff lose the case, we completely waive repayment of the cash advance. If the case qualifies, funding can be available within 24 hours.

Couple Sues Hospital Over Slip-and-Fall Accident

A couple has filed a lawsuit against Cabell Huntington Hospital, Inc. alleging that the hospital breached its duty to provide a safe environment to the public.

According to the complaint, the woman suffered injuries needing medical treatment when she slipped and fell on a freshly mopped floor. The plaintiffs hold the hospital responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to properly maintain its premises, failed to warn the public of the unsafe and dangerous condition and failed to properly train and supervise its employees. They request a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in compensation for damages.

It is not uncommon for a slip and fall claim to take a year or more to make its way through the litigation process. Unfortunately, timing is important for victims, especially if faced with lost wages and mounting medical expenses. Lawsuit funding is a means to handle immediate medical expenses and other costs related to the woman’s accident, as well as other financial obligations. A lawsuit cash advance would allow this couple to wait for a much higher settlement or court verdict instead of feeling forced to settle for an inadequate offer.

A lawsuit cash advance cost nothing to apply; if approved, the money can be available within 24 – 48 hours.

When Lawsuit Financial invests in a lawsuit, we only look at the strength of the case. We don’t care about credit history, collateral or employment status; we also do not require monthly payments. That is why we can often times approve an application in as little as 24 hours. While there are no contingencies on how the money is spent, it is typically used to pay the mortgage/rent, medical bills and daily household expenses. We require no payments until the case settles. Most importantly, our funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning that if this couple should lose their case, there is no obligation to pay us back.

If you are the victim of a slip and fall accident and experiencing financial problems while waiting for your case to settle, don’t allow defendants to use 3D tactics - deny, delay, and defend - as a means of discouraging you from pursuing compensation. As soon as you file your case in court, with the help of an attorney, you’re eligible to apply for lawsuit funding. Call Lawsuit Financial today to learn more and to begin the steps to immediate financial freedom

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
