Cell Phone Use behind the Wheel May Result in Life Altering Consequences

Texting while driving is dangerous; it often leads to a serious or fatal crash. If you or someone you love is a victim of a negligent driver you may be entitled to compensation for damages, such as medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering. It is important to retain an experienced attorney who can help get the justice you deserve. Once the litigation process is underway, you may find yourself in need of financial assistance. That is the time to consider lawsuit funding.

A 60-year-old woman suffered serious injuries after she was hit head-on by a 16-year-old who crossed the center line while allegedly changing music on his phone. The woman’s foot was nearly severed and she sustained multiple broken bones, rib fractures, and internal bleeding. She spent two weeks in the hospital, including being on a ventilator. Being unable to move on her own and requiring 24-hour care, the woman was transferred to a nursing home.

The teen escaped unharmed; he had received his driver’s license just two days before the crash. He was cited for use of a mobile device while operating a motor vehicle.

The woman may never maintain the freedom she once had. She has also been struggling to pay the bills since her insurance ran out. Her family believes that the teen should be held accountable for his actions and his parents accountable for not carrying enough insurance. There is no word whether a lawsuit has been filed, but if so, this woman could be eligible for lawsuit funding.

The litigation process can be painful physically, emotionally, and financially, but it may be the only means to justice. Unfortunately, during this time, the bills won’t stop coming; creditors won’t stop calling. Lawsuit funding from an experienced service provider is one way to prevent an early and inadequate case resolution. An experienced legal finance company can put cash in your hands within 24 to 48 hours which, in turn, allows you to focus on getting better and obtaining a fair result in your pending litigation. With lawsuit funding there are no application fees, monthly payments, credit checks or employment verifications. The application process is quick and easy; it takes less than five minutes. Unlike a bank loan, lawsuit funding is non-recourse; this, means that if you lose your case, you are not obligated to repay the cash advance.

Investigation Underway As To Why Teen Stopped Before Entering Intersection In Front Of Semi

Two 16-year-old boys were killed over the weekend in a crash with a semi-truck at an intersection in rural Kane County, according to a news report.

After stopping at the stop sign, the teen driver pulled into the intersection, for unknown reasons. The pick-up truck was struck by the semi, which did not have to stop at the intersection, according to the sheriff’s office. The vehicles collided, both rolled over, taking out a utility pole and power lines near the intersection. Both teens were pronounced dead at the scene. The semi driver was treated and released at the scene. The Sheriff’s Office and an Accident Reconstruction Team are investigating the crash.

The teen driver could have been distracted by any host of reasons – chatting, joking around, texting, etc. He could have been due to poor judgement – the teen simply thought he would be able to beat the semi through the intersection. No matter the reason behind the crash, the untimely death of anyone is always a tragedy.

The staff at Lawsuit Financial extends their sympathy to the families affected by this accident. We would also like to use this tragedy to urge parents to ensure that their teens are making safe choices behind the wheel especially as we approach the winter months.

Six U.S. teenagers die in road traffic accidents every day, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). They are also three times more likely to get into fatal accident than any other age group, and the winter months are exceptionally dangerous for all drivers’ especially in icy conditions and during the holidays. Education is the key to safer driving for younger drivers. Most teenagers are resistant to following rules, but showing them the consequences of their actions, whether by driving recklessly, distracted, or not wearing a seat belt, can sometimes be enough to make them safer behind the wheel.

Fatal Car Crash Is A Tragic Reminder Of Danger To Teens As The Holiday Weekend Approaches

Investigators believe a 17-year-old driver was speeding when he lost control of his 1999 Ford Taurus and crashed into a tree, splitting the car in two. The driver and three passengers were ejected, according to reports from the Milwaukee County medical examiner’s office. Two of the passengers, both 15-years-of-age, died from injuries. Several witnesses reported running to the crash scene to render aid and found at least one of the victims already deceased. The driver and one passenger were taken to an area hospital with serious injuries. All four teens were relatives and were returning from playing basketball that evening when the crash occurred.

The investigation is ongoing, but according to a criminal complaint, other motorists reported that the driver was speeding at nearly 80 mph, swerving from lane to lane, when he lost control, left the street and crashed into the tree. He faces two counts of homicide by negligent driving and one count of reckless driving causing great bodily harm, all felonies.

This is the “same kind of mistake that kids anywhere in any part of the state or country could have made,” said the principal from the school of one of the deceased teens.

Auto accidents are the number one cause of death for teens nationwide; they permanently alter the lives of all involved. Researchers found that teens have a higher risk of auto accidents and are 2 1/2 times as likely as adults to be in a crash. Common dangers for young drivers include:

• Speeding
• Distracted driving
• Too many passengers
• Not wearing seat belts
• Driving under the influence
• Aggressive or careless driving

This is why many states have imposed tougher requirements on young drivers by requiring three stages of licensing — learner's permit, intermediate stage, and full license — and set 16 as the earliest age for entry into the learner's permit process. The graduated system helps young drivers by limiting high risk driving situations, increasing adult supervision and extending the educational requirements of the novice driver.

Studies continue to show that parental involvement is one of the most powerful weapons in the fight to keep teenagers safe. While a parent has no way of knowing if their teen will always follow the rules once they leave the house, it is important to keep re-enforcing safe driving habits. This includes understanding the importance of adhering to the speed limit, avoiding distractions while driving, and how to respond to situations on the road without panicking. Having proper insurance coverage is another way to protect your teen. Talk with your insurance agent about various options and be aware of your state’s requirements.

Even then, the most responsible driver may find themselves in a car crash. If you or a loved one is seriously injured or killed in an automobile accident at no fault of your own, you may be able to recover damages for medical bills, loss wages, and pain and suffering. It is important to contact an attorney who specializes in these types of cases.

Losing a loved one unexpectedly can be extremely difficult and painful. Even when liability appears straightforward, the case can drag on for months, even years. The wait will often put victims in a financial predicament. Worried about paying bills and meeting other financial obligations? While an attorney fights to obtain the best possible settlement, Lawsuit Financial may be able to provide a lawsuit cash advance, without consideration of your credit score or employment status. A financial transaction, known as lawsuit funding, is a valuable solution to obtaining immediate cash to cover pressing needs until a case reaches settlement. The repayment is made from the proceeds of the case. If your case is lost, the cash advance is waived in its entirety.

Eligibility is based on attorney representation and a strong case. Once these qualifications are met, the application process is quick and easy; it takes less than five minutes online or over the phone. Once approved, funds can arrive by wire or check within 24-48 hours. While the money can be used at your discretion, it typically helps pay medical expenses or important monthly obligations such as mortgage or rent payments and utility bills.

If you have been injured in an accident caused by a reckless driver and have an attorney representing your case, but don't have the financial ability to wait out a lengthy litigation process, auto accident lawsuit funding may be a solution.
