Lawsuit Claims “Headfirst” Technique Encouraged by Coach Left Teen a Quadriplegic
A lawsuit has been filed against Pop Warner, a non-profit
organization that provides youth football, cheerleading, and dance programs,
after a 13-year-old athlete became paralyzed during a football game. The lawsuit states the teen sustained a
“catastrophic spinal cord injury” and that he has minimal use of his arms and
no movement from the chest down after he tackled a player using a headfirst
technique encouraged by coaches, despite the organizations rules to the
contrary. The teen’s mother said her son
is confined to a bed and wheelchair. He
suffers from pressure sores and has to use a colostomy bag and catheter. The lawsuit seeks unspecified punitive
damages for negligence, negligent training of coaches and negligent
supervision. Medical bills have exceeded
$2 million and insurance covers approximately 80%, leaving the teen’s mother on
the hook for hundreds of thousands of dollars. She wonders how she will pay,
but also what happens once her son becomes an adult.
This case is real and the tragedy that
occurred was preventable and avoidable if only rules were followed. This young man’s life has obviously been
turned upside down. He may never be able to achieve the education he should or
fulfill career and life-long dreams he once had; all this potentially due to
the negligence of his football coach.
While waiting for the case to wind its way through the legal
system, pre-settlement funding
may be available to help cover medical and care expenses, urgent financial
issues and other necessities of life funding. Applying for legal funding
is often the perfect solution for plaintiffs who are in financial need as a
result of serious injuries caused by no fault of their own. Once the lawsuit
cash advance is approved, funds can be available in less than 48
hours. There are no upfront fees, no
monthly payments, and no credit checks.
Best of all, repayment is made once the plaintiff successfully settles,
but if the case is unsuccessfully, the cash advance is completely waived.

Legal Funding Services Benefited Victim of Drunk Driving Accident
I was injured in an
auto accident because of a drunk driver.
The accident left me disabled longer than expected so I lost my
job. I filed a personal injury lawsuit,
but it was not settling fast enough to cover all my medical bills. There was no way I was accepting the
ridiculous offer from the insurance company, but my family did not have the
means to help me financially.
Fortunately, Lawsuit
Financial did.
I applied online
for lawsuit funding and was contacted within the hour. I was new to this so Sandy thoroughly explained how the process. She promised that once some case
documentation from my attorney was reviewed, if I was approved for funding that
I could expect the cash advance within 24 hours. Sandy kept her promise and I paid my outstanding bills. My case also settled for $1.1 million (the
insurance company’s offer was $500,000).
I would not have
received the settlement I deserved if not for the help of Lawsuit
Financial. I highly recommend the
services of Lawsuit Financial to anyone in need of a cash advance on their
lawsuit.
- Have you been injured in an accident that was not your fault?
- Have you missed a substantial amount of work due to injuries?
- Have you retain an attorney and filed a personal injury lawsuit?
- Do you need emergency cash to withstand the legal process?
If you answered “yes” to these questions, you
are entitled to pursue damages for your injuries and/or loss; however, justice
does not always come swiftly or inexpensively.
Developing financial problems after a serious injury adds serious insult
upon devastating injury. Where do you
turn to for help?
First, you may turn to a family member or
friend, but slow or no repayment will affect that important relationship for
years to come. You can ask a bank, but
unless you have substantial collateral for a loan and are willing to put that
collateral (house, car, jewelry) at risk if you lose the case, you may be
risking everything. What do you do? Where do you go?
Lawsuit Funding may be the answer. You can acquire a no-risk, lawsuit cash
advance against the anticipated recovery in your lawsuit, without risking
your home, car or other valuable asset. This
cash advance is known as lawsuit funding or litigation funding; some will
incorrectly label it as a “lawsuit loan.”
The reason this type of funding is not a loan is because there are no
credit checks, application fees, or monthly payments. Additionally, there is no commitment to repay
the advance unless the case successfully settles. In other words, if the lawsuit is
unsuccessful, you don't owe Lawsuit Financial a dime. The obligation is completely excused.

Excessive Speeding Results in Fatal Auto Accident
Speeding accidents are one of the most common
types of roadway accidents in America . They result in catastrophic injuries and fatalities every day. If you or a loved one has been involved in a
speeding accident due to another person's recklessness, you can seek compensation
for damages. Unfortunately, waiting for compensation from a settlement, can be
financially devastating. Litigation
funding may be the only option to avoid settling for less than full case
value.
A
19-year-old woman died when the vehicle in which she was riding slammed into a
pole after the driver lost control of the vehicle. According to police, the 22-year-old driver
and the driver of a Ford F150 were traveling at a high rate of speed towards a curve
in the road when both drivers lost control.
The Acura spun, sliding onto the median and hitting a light pole on the
passenger side where the 19-year-old was sitting. The F150 spun into the
median, but missed the pole. The driver
of the Acura is in critical condition; the 17-year-old driver of the truck
suffered minor injuries and has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the
influence and reckless driving. The accident
remains under investigation.
Irrelevant
of the cause(s) of this fatal auto accident, it is difficult to hear about the
loss of a loved one. During this time,
the last thing the family of the deceased needs to deal with is legal and
financial issues, but is important to contact an experienced auto accident
attorney to understand their rights. If an
attorney takes the case and files a lawsuit, it could take years for the suit
to reach a settlement. During this time, if the family is burdened by mounting
bills, they may want to apply for litigation funding. This immediate funding source allows a
plaintiff to take care of their financial obligations while giving their
attorney the time needed to seek appropriate justice.

Victims Have the Power to Seek Justice with Pre-Settlement Lawsuit Funding
A Kansas woman was
apparently electrocuted after a single-vehicle auto
accident. When the 26-year-old woman
lost control of her vehicle, the car struck a utility pole. Witnesses said when the woman got out of the
vehicle, a power line came down; they saw arching and heard explosions. She was unresponsive at the scene and
pronounced dead at a local hospital. Her
two young children in the backseat were unharmed. An investigation is ongoing to determine what
may have caused the woman to lose control and the vehicle to leave the road.
Was the driver distracted? Was there a
mechanical failure or defect? While all the details of this fatal auto accident
won’t be known until the investigation is complete, witnesses said that the
despite this being the first fatality in the area, it is not the first time the
pole has been struck by drivers. They believe the intersection is dangerous
because of the way the road splits; if a driver misjudges the curve, they could
very well hit the pole. Residents are
pushing to move the pole back a few feet.
Safety officials
say people should always assume the lines are hot and dangerous so it is best
to stay in the vehicle and wait for help.
Getting out might allow the electricity to ground from the car through
you. If you see someone in a vehicle with downed power lines on it, do not
touch the car or try to rescue the person inside as you could be
electrocuted. If you must get out of the
vehicle, jump or hop away to avoid touching the vehicle and the ground at the
same time, and keep feet together. Never
attempt to move the lines or touch anything that is touching the line.
Although
the driver may have been driving carelessly, failure to avoid foreseeable
events from turning tragic is a form of negligence. When a roadway is poorly designed or road
signs, poles, and barriers poorly placed, it can cause or contribute to an auto
accident and require an extensive investigation of the roadway and its history.
This is especially critical when the roadway has been the site of previous
accidents.
No
matter how this investigation concludes, the family should seek legal advice
from an experienced attorney as soon as possible. They may be able to receive
compensation for the wrongful
death of their loved one and claim damages for pain and suffering, lost
wages, medical bills, and other damages. A wrongful death attorney will help
determine if a government entity was responsible for failing to fulfill its
obligations of making sure the road is somewhat forgiving of driver error, if
the automobile manufacturer was responsible for a defective part that caused
the woman to lose control, and/or if the accident was due to drive negligence.
Nonetheless, it will be a long legal process and difficult to prove, but with the help of an
experienced auto accident attorney, the victims’ family can fight for justice and
compensation for their loss. During this
time, the family may be unable to pay funeral and burial expenses, and the
costly needs of the deceased two small children. A financially desperate plaintiff is not in a
favorable position regarding settlement negotiations; this person will often
settle for too little, too soon. One option to surviving financially while waiting
for a settlement is lawsuit funding.
There are no costs
or fees associated with a funding application. If approved, funds would arrive
within 24 – 48 hours by check or wire.
There are no monthly payments, credit checks, or employment
verification, and repayment is contingent upon the outcome of the case. If the plaintiff loses, the lawsuit cash
advance is waived in its entirety.

Litigation Funding May Help Victim Suing Bar and Grill in Drunk Driving Accident
Someone’s
life can be seriously impacted by the reckless actions and negligence of
another, and businesses that served alcohol to a visibly intoxicated person can
be held accountable. An experienced attorney can help victims recover
compensation for damages, including pain and suffering.
A man filed a
personal injury lawsuit against a Bar and Grill alleging negligence for
allowing employees to serve a woman alcohol beyond the point of visible
intoxication before she got behind the wheel of her vehicle and caused a
serious accident. The victim suffered
serious injuries to his head, neck, shoulder, and back. He is suing for an undetermined amount of
compensation.
What
happens if the legal process takes longer than this plaintiff can financially
afford? There is immediate financial
assistance, sometimes referred to as a “lawsuit loan”, that may be
available. This legal funding service
correctly called “litigation
funding” or “lawsuit funding”
would allow this victim wait for a fair and equitable settlement. If he is desperately need money now, the only
other alternative may be to settle his valuable case for pennies on the dollar
to pay his bills. If he applies for
funding through Lawsuit Financial, we will act quickly to review his case, and
if approved, provide funds within 24 – 48 hours. We charge no upfront or monthly fees, and
there is not need for credit checks or employment verification. Once he is in a financially stable position,
this victim can focus on recovering physically and emotionally. Best of all, he owes us nothing until his
case settles at which time repayment is made from the proceeds of the
settlement. If he loses, nothing is
repaid; he keeps the cash advance.
If
you or a loved one was seriously injured in an auto accident caused by a drunk
driver, you have important legal rights, and may be entitled to compensation
for your medical bills, lost wages, and property damage. Contact an experienced
attorney as soon as possible; then call Lawsuit Financial for a no-risk
lawsuit cash advance.
