Toddler in Medically Induced Coma After Beaten, Dies

A 2-year-old Michigan boy, who suffered brain damage after an alleged beating, has died.  Damian had been in a medically induced coma for a week after his mother’s boyfriend allegedly beat him.  Last Sunday, doctor’s performed an emergency surgery to alleviate pressure on Damian’s brain.  This morning, they slowly took Damian off life support to see how he would respond, but as the toddler’s condition rapidly declined, medical staff advised the family to say their goodbyes.  Doctors said that had the child survived, he would have been 80% brain dead.

The boyfriend is being held on a $50,000 bail and charged with first-degree felony child abuse although the prosecutors are expected to amend those charges since Damian’s death.  Anyone interested in helping cover medical expenses and funeral costs can make a donation online at www.gofundme.com/prayersfordamian or at any Fifth Third Bank branch nationwide.

This has been an obvious devastation to family and friends of little Damian, and one that could lead to a wrongful death lawsuit.  Although no amount of money will ever bring Damian back (his family will never see him attend school, play sports, get married, raise a family, and grow old), an experienced wrongful death attorney can help the family pursue legal recourse. During this time, they may continue to face financial hardships.  Fortunately, Lawsuit Financial can possibly help with some of their financial obligations.

Through pre-settlement funding, Lawsuit Financial can provide emergency cash in their time of need.  Applying for funding is easy with just a click of the mouse or a phone call; qualifications are based solely on the merits of the lawsuit.  After case-evaluation, if approved for a lawsuit cash advance, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments; there are no credit checks or employment verification.

Diabetic Loses Control of Vehicle Killing Child

A man who suffered a diabetic episode, lost control of his vehicle, and hit a young girl standing in her front yard, killing her.  The accident happened in April 2013 at which time the driver was cleared of criminal wrongdoing.  At the time, the investigation showed that the man was responsible in testing his blood sugar level and taking insulin regularly.  He even told detectives that he had a good history of managing his diabetes and never felt low or off while driving.  However, after KATU began digging into the case, a subsequent investigation showed evidence that the man had been in a prior accident, in which he hit a tree, because of a diabetic episode.  In that case, the man was not given a ticket.  What is unknown is why the information didn’t reach the DA in this latest investigation.

The man has since been arrested on charges of second-degree manslaughter and reckless driving.  The child’s grandmother told the news that whatever happens, nothing will bring her granddaughter back, but it’s some satisfaction that he's being held accountable for his negligence, recklessness, and carelessness. 

When someone is killed as a result of another person's negligence, the victim's family can be devastated. When a negligent driver is responsible for a fatal auto accident, the driver may be held accountable through the criminal courts, but family members also have the right to seek justice against that driver.

Filing a wrongful death lawsuit may help this family seek compensation for their loss, including funeral and burial expenses and emotional damages, such as pain and suffering, but such cases can take a long time to settle.  If the family has limited income, mounting bills and dwindling options, they may want to seek pre-settlement funding while their attorney fights for justice.  Lawsuit Financial can help with our quick application and approval process.  Once the family completes our online application and we review case documentation, funds can be available in 24 – 48 hours. There are no credit checks, no employment verification, no monthly payments and no up-front or out-of-pocket fees.  Pre-settlement lawsuit funding is 100% risk-free meaning the family will only repay the cash advance if they win their case. If they lose, the repayment is completely waived.

If you are a victim of a personal injury or lost a loved one due to a wrongful death, seek legal advice as soon as possible.  Then, let Lawsuit Financial help you avoid settling for less than case value.  Call us today for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Say “Yes” To Waiting for Justice

Lawsuit funding is becoming increasingly more popular in the United States as thousands of plaintiffs seek a means to ease financial pressures during an often lengthy litigation process.  Due to the growing demand, attorneys routinely recommend Lawsuit Financial.

When my husband was injured in an auto accident and out of work for six months, his case was taking longer than expected to settle.  In the meantime, the bills were piling up.  Our attorney suggested we contact Lawsuit Financial for a cash advance, and we are so glad he did.  The staff was professional and stood behind every promise.  Their application was really quick and easy.  Once our attorney provided some paperwork on our case, we were able to pay our bills within 24 hours.  With the help of Lawsuit Financial, we avoided risking our credit and our attorney had time to achieve the highest possible settlement.  I would recommend Lawsuit Financial to any plaintiff considering accepting less than full case value.  ~ M. Taylor

Generally, there are two kinds of lawsuit funding options; pre-settlement and post-settlement.  Funding provided prior to case settling as in the case above, is called pre-settlement litigation financing.  Funding provided after case settlement and before the plaintiff is paid, is post-settlement lawsuit funding.  After a plaintiff applies for either type of funding, Lawsuit Financial will request supporting case documents, such as an accident report from the plaintiff’s attorney.  Once the supporting documents are received and reviewed, if the case is approved, a contract will be prepared and sent to the plaintiff and his/her attorney to sign.  Funds can be wired into the plaintiff’s account in as little as 24 hours after an executed contract.

No Application Fees!               No Credit Checks!        No Employment History!

No Monthly Payments!             No Repayment if Lose the Case!         

If you are a plaintiff in a pending lawsuit and money is running low, don’t be forced to settle early, taking a lower amount than expected.  Lawsuit funding is a great resource that allows plaintiffs to bridge the gap until an equitable settlement is reached.  For more information on lawsuit funding, contact Lawsuit Financial toll-free at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) or visit us online.

Mother Files Wrongful Death Lawsuit against Union Electric

Many electrocution victims may be counting on a settlement to pay their medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and daily living expenses, but lawsuits are often vigorously defended against and can take years to settle. If you have a pending lawsuit resulting from an electrocution injury or death and are represented by an attorney, lawsuit funding may be the answer to financially withstand an extensive legal process.

During the Fourth of July weekend last year, two children, ages 8 and 13, were electrocuted by an "unknown source of electricity" while swimming near the boat dock at the family’s vacation home in the Lake of the Ozarks. Although witnesses performed CPR at the scene, the children were later declared dead at a nearby hospital. A lawsuit has been filed claiming that Union Electric (also known as Ameren Missouri) failed to inform dock owners the need to install ground fault interrupters, a requirement on docks and boat lifts which are exposed to moisture and wet conditions.

While some may be tempted to call this a "freak accident," it's important to realize that swimming electrocutions happen more often than most people think and are more likely to be the result of negligence. Determining liability in this case could take time. While an experienced attorney is essential to getting the best verdict and settlement; a legal funding expert is essential if the family is struggling to pay funeral and burial expenses and daily household expenses. To avoiding debt or settling their case too soon, for too little, a lawsuit cash advance could be the answer.

Lawsuit Financial provides non-recourse cash advances leveraged against future settlements. Once we review a funding application and talk to the plaintiff’s attorney, if the applicant is approved, cash can be available in as little as 24 hours later. There are no monthly payments until the case settles. Should the case not be successful, the family would have no obligation to pay us back; we take all the risk. There is really nothing to lose with lawsuit funding so if you have a pending lawsuit and struggling financially, visit us online to apply or call for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Construction Worker Falls to his Death First Day on the Job

A 28-year-old construction worker died during his first day on the job at a SoHo construction site where workers were restoring the facade of an 11-story luxury loft apartment building. According to a preliminary investigation, the man appeared to have reached over the railing to turn over a plank when he lost his footing and fell three stories from a scaffold. He suffered head trauma and was pronounced dead at the hospital. He was not wearing a safety harness. It appears that there may have been negligence on the part of the general contractor. The Department of Buildings (DOB) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) are investigating the incident, but a DOB spokesperson said that the general contractor has been cited for “failure to protect all persons and parties affected by construction operations” and “building the scaffolding contrary to approved plans.” Although the investigation is not complete, more recent information shows that the worker was not working in a protected area with railings and guardrails and the man had not taken a mandatory 30-hour Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) course as required for the work he was performing. The victim’s wife should contact an experienced wrongful death attorney who specializes in construction site accidents. An attorney can determine if the general contractor was negligent and if the family has a viable case. Tragedies like this also have a financial impact especially with the family's principal means of support gone. If the family pursues a wrongful death lawsuit, they may be interested to know that litigation funding can help pay pressing bills while waiting for a fair settlement or a jury verdict. Legal finance services have proven to be a godsend to people who need financial assistance; the lawsuit cash advance can be used for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and monthly bills such as mortgage and car payments. There are no credit checks and you don’t need to a job to apply. Litigation funding is based solely on the merits of the lawsuit; credit rating or job status does not matter. The application process is simple and if approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be available within 24 - 48 hours. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if the plaintiff loses her case, the “lawsuit loan” is excused; repayment is not required. If you have filed a wrongful death lawsuit and need financial assistance during the litigation process, contact our offices today so you can withstand the lengthy litigation process.

Hernia Surgery Ends In Cardiac Arrest and Death

A woman filed a lawsuit against Wright Center for Primary Care, several doctors, and Regional Hospital of Scranton for negligence and the wrongful death of her husband after hernia surgery. The lawsuit alleges that all the defendants were negligent and caused or increased risk of harm resulting in the man’s death.

According to the lawsuit, the victim had surgery on a recurrent hernia and was sent home the next day in stable condition. Three days later, he returned to the hospital complaining of hiccups, shortness of breath and wheezing. He consulted with doctors and was given a series of tests. The following day, he was transferred to intensive care; later that morning he was incubated and placed on mechanical ventilation. He went into septic shock and by that afternoon he suffered cardiac arrest and died.

Anytime someone loses a loved one, it is devastating both emotionally and mentally. It may be shattering financially, as well.

A lawsuit cash advance is the means to help a plaintiff stay financial afloat during the litigation process.

After Five Years a Disabled Man Receives Justice

In January 2007, a woman lost control of her vehicle, crossed the median and struck a Chevrolet pick-up truck. The top of the truck and the “Jaws of Life” were needed to free the driver from the truck. Since that horrible day, the man has gone through seven surgeries and is still unable to return to his job as a mechanic.

An innocent man, who happened to be in the wrong place and the wrong time waited five long years to seek justice; a jury awarded him $2.37 million. Why in a case that appeared to be “cut and dry”; a case where the defendant is obviously at faulty? It is because insurance companies are notorious for engaging in a frivolous defense. They deny, delay, and defend as a means of discouraging claimants from pursuing their legitimate claims. It is part of their scheme to wriggle out of paying for their negligence. Even for plaintiffs with a strong chance of winning, these tactics can still be employed because the defense can afford to stall.

Lawsuits are expensive; the majority of injured people who make claims do not have significant assets. Victims may, or may not, struggle financially in a long battle for justice. If the injured person is unable to work, has reduced income, or has expenses associated with care or disability; it may not be possible to wait until the end of the lawsuit before obtaining funds. This is why Lawsuit Financial was founded. If this plaintiff sought our legal funding services and received an approval, a lawsuit cash advance would have helped pay for medical treatment, surgeries, and other bills while waiting out the litigation process. Lawsuit funding tries to facilitate a level playing field; it tries to prevent injured people from being forced, by financial distress to settle valuable cases too early for too little.

A lawsuit cash advance with Lawsuit Financial is quick and easy. Simply fill out an online application or call our office toll-free. Out investors will review your case and determine the likelihood of a favorable settlement. If your case is approved, Lawsuit Financial will wire the funds to your account for immediate use to be use. Although the lawsuit cash advance is usually to pay for immediate living expenses and medical expenses, it can be used as you wish until your case settles. Lawsuit funding is not for everyone, but it can be a very powerful tool to help a plaintiff fight for fair compensation.
