Lawsuit Financial Offers Financial Stability In Medical Malpractice Wrongful Death Cases

When a doctor does not provide proper treatment it can lead to serious complications or the death of the patient. Victims of medical malpractice or their families may be able to file a lawsuit against the doctor and/or hospital, seeking compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Once a lawsuit is filed, those suffering financially can apply for litigation funding.

The family of a deceased man recently filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against a doctor and medical facility claiming negligence resulted in the death of their loved one. According to the suit, after the man went to the hospital seeking medical treatment, doctors failed to request cardiac testing and therefore failed to diagnose a serious heart condition. The patient was discharged with no instructions or further medical attention given. He later suffered a heart attack and died. The lawsuit alleges that the doctor’s negligence caused the man’s heart condition to go undiagnosed and untreated, ultimately leading to his death.

Given the nature of this situation, a possible wrongful death involving a medical error or misdiagnosis, it may take years before the case goes to court and/or culminates in a settlement or award. No one has limitless financial strength. Plaintiffs often face financial hardship trying to make ends meet with ordinary cost of living expenses, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and the loss of income. When this happens, litigation funding may be a viable solution.

Litigation funding is a cash advance against the future settlement of the case, often be approved within 24 – 48 hours. It helps a plaintiff remain in a case longer in order to pursue a larger, more favorable settlement. There are no up-front fees or monthly payments and no credit checks or employment verification. Best of all, repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the case is lost, repayment of the cash advance is completely waived. Although there are no restrictions as to how the money is used, litigation funding should be used sparingly and wisely. It should be used to pay for life’s necessities such as food, medical bills, mortgage payments and other important daily expenses that become difficult due to serious injury, disability or death.

Were you or a loved one the victim of medical negligence? Pain and suffering, emotional stress, and loss of income are only a few of the reasons you may be able to file a medical negligence claim. An attorney can help determine if you have a winnable case and help you seek the compensation you deserve. After filing a lawsuit, if you need financial assistance while waiting for justice to be served, contact a Lawsuit Financial to discuss your case funding situation.

Investigators Say Trucker Fatigue and Meth Use Likely Cause of Crash That Left Six Dead

Fatigued driving has become an epidemic. Those most likely to drive while drowsy or fatigued are commercial truck drivers, cab drivers, and late-night shift workers.

A crash on a Tennessee highway that left six people dead last year was probably due to a fatigued truck driver who had taken methamphetamine to stay awake, according to a recent report by federal investigators.

On June 25, 2015, a tractor trailer failed to slow down in a construction zone and plowed into multiple vehicles on Interstate 75, killing six and injuring six others. Investigators said the trucker was traveling approximately 80 mph despite ample warnings that he was approaching a construction zone with a 55-mph limit. There was no indication of heavy braking or that he tried to take evasive action before causing the crash.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) also cited a failure in the trucking company’s employee screening process which would have shown that the driver had been fired from a previous trucking job two years earlier because of illegal drug use. The trucker even tested positive for meth less than three months prior to the crash, under a separate court order. The agency also found that the truck driver had likely gone without sustained rest for 40 hours before the crash. He was indicted on six counts of vehicular homicide, four counts of reckless aggravated assault, driving under the influence of narcotics, speeding and making false reports about his duty status.

At least two lawsuits have been filed against the truck driver and his employer alleging that the crash happened as a result of “their reckless and grossly negligent actions.” The complaints also allege that the trucker had a pattern of dangerous behavior prior to the deadly crash. Just a day prior, he was cited for careless driving in Florida after sideswiping another truck. Additionally, he did not submit a drug test after the Florida crash, a requirement under the Federal Motor Carrier Association, according to the claims.

While the lawsuits will help compensated victims for their loss, attorneys for the plaintiffs hope these claims will enforce stricter guidelines involving commercial truck drivers, so that such a tragic crash does not happen again. That will surely take time, just as it will to achieve a settlement in these cases.

The financial strain during times like this not only seriously impacts your life, it also impacts your case. A financially desperate plaintiff is not in a favorable position regarding settlement negotiations. If you are in need of a cash flow solution during the litigation process, lawsuit funding may be a viable option.

Two Teens Killed In Route to School When Drunk Driver Slams Into Their Vehicle Head-On

An auto accident claimed the lives of two teens when their vehicle was hit head-on as they drove to school. According to the North Carolina Highway Patrol, the driver of a Pontiac Grand Prix crossed the center line colliding with the teen’s Chevrolet Sonic. The Grand Prix caught on fire, but the driver was able to escape with non-life threatening injuries. While speed was not a factor in the accident, the driver of the Pontiac has been charged with a DWI and other charges on the driver are pending.

Injuries and deaths caused by a driving under the influence are often the subject of civil suits. While the negligent driver can face serious criminal charges, he/she can also face civil liability.

When Your Case Takes Too Long, Auto Accident Lawsuit Funding To the Rescue

Every lawsuit is totally different. Some will settle in a few months to settle while others may take several years depending on the issues involved in the case and the extent of the victim’s injuries. While some plaintiffs may understand that justice takes time, they are rarely prepared for a lengthy litigation process, especially when the defendant’s insurance company purposely delays, using every legal trick in the book to limit the plaintiff’s settlement. This is a common tactic to put pressure on a plaintiff who are struggling financially. After delays, they will offer a low settlement amount, hoping the plaintiff will feel forced to accept rather than waiting for the larger settlement deserved.

Although you may need the money and prefer to settle your case as quickly as possible, you do not want to get “shorted” on the compensation your rightfully deserve. Resist the temptation of quick money to ensure that you receive every penny you are entitled. A risk-free way of doing this is with lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a simple solution to help plaintiffs get back on their feet financially, so that they can pay their bills, buy groceries and live comfortably while awaiting settlement. Once a plaintiff is represented by and attorney and the lawsuit has been filed, it is time to consider one’s financial situation. Auto accident lawsuit funding is an emergency cash advance for plaintiffs who need to pay the bills during a lengthy litigation. In fact, it may be the only financially sound way to fight the insurance company deny, delay and defend tactics.

What is required to qualify for a lawsuit cash advance? All you need is attorney representation and a strong case. After completing a funding application, your attorney will provide the information necessary to determine if your case is approved and for how much. Credit checks and employment status do not matter. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments. You only repay the money once you settle your case, at which time your attorney will pay us from the case proceeds. So, no money ever directly leaves your pocket. Auto accident lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, meaning if you fail to win your case, you are not required to repay the advance.

Protect Your Valuable Assets and Save Your Valuable Case with Lawsuit Funding

You were seriously injured in an auto accident. The insurance company is denying your claim, so you consult an attorney who ultimately takes your case. After you've hired that lawyer and decided not to give up, you begin to wonder: "How am I going to pay my bills? How can I fight this huge, well-financed and powerful insurance company when I can't work and have no income or savings?"

Lawsuit Funding can be a valuable tool for plaintiffs and, if used correctly and strategically, can be a revenue enhancement tool. One example I like to use to demonstrate this point is the case of a Detroit, Michigan woman who was seriously injured in an auto-truck crash when the truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and suddenly veered into her lane. She suffered serious and disabling injuries, as well as emotional trauma due to the extent of the accident. One of her children was killed. This mother was a physically and emotionally unable to work, and unable to otherwise support herself, her kids, and her case. Her bills and expenses began to accrue and her house payments were several months behind. The bank even threatened foreclosure. The insurance company offered $500,000 to settle her case. Instead, her lawyer recommend lawsuit funding. After her case was carefully reviewed, a series of lawsuit cash advances were recommended. The first, $30,000, went to pay her past due mortgage bills and other important obligations. Because physical and emotional issues continued to disable her from working, the funding company worked with her to create a monthly draw equal to her monthly expenses. Less than a year later, the case resolved for $2.1 million; the lawsuit funding advance was repaid from the case proceeds.

This case underscores the need for, and power of, lawsuit financing in serious injury and wrongful death litigation. Lawsuit funding is a great equalizer; the money that cash-strapped plaintiffs need to get from an earlier stage in the lawsuit to its conclusion. A well-placed non-recourse cash advance will often prevent the plaintiff from being forced to settle early and cheap; it levels the playing field and gives plaintiffs the staying power to slay Goliath.

How is lawsuit funding different from a traditional bank loan? First of all, there is no credit check or credit 'hit'. Employment history is also not required. Unlike a traditional bank loan, there are no monthly payments which would only increase a plaintiff’s financial distress. Most importantly, unlike a traditional bank loan which must be paid back no matter what, a lawsuit cash advance is only repaid if the case succeeds. If the case fails, the litigation funding company loses its capital investment; the plaintiff owes nothing!

There are many legal finance companies to choose from. If you are seeking lawsuit funding, make sure you do your homework and compare funding companies. If one seeks to assert control over the litigation in question, that is an unethical practice and, probably, a breach of the contract. Further, an ethical lawsuit funding company will not seek profit at a level that prevents fair settlement. The ethical lawsuit funding company will provide an appropriate compromise, when necessary, to facilitate a fair settlement to all.

Lawsuit Financial provides lawsuit funding for most personal injury and wrongful death cases, disability cases and other insurance cases. We have more combined litigation and litigation funding experience than any other company in the lawsuit finance marketplace. Even if you are considering lawsuit funding from another company, call us at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) for a free, no-obligation consultation regarding your lawsuit and your lawsuit finance situation. The call is free and the advice could protect your valuable assets and, above all, save your valuable case.

After Teen Dies In Fatal Auto Accident, Lawsuit Filed By Family Is Stalled

Might a case like this be a viable candidate for lawsuit funding? Possibly.

The Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT) hired a contractor to resurface a road. On August 14, 2012, signs were staked in the ground warning that road work was occurring. During the daytime, temporary signs were added to alert drivers. The temporary signs were removed every evening.

On August 24, 2012, the contracting company opened the road for weekend traffic, but only the staked signs were in place; the temporary signs were once again removed. After much weekend rain, on Sunday afternoon DelDOT crews made repairs to potholes that had developed on the same road. At approximately 11 p.m. that evening, a fatal crash occurred when a teen driver lost control of her vehicle, spun off the road and hit a tree. The driver was injured; her 17-year-old passenger was killed.

Families of both teens filed lawsuits against DelDOT and the contractor. The suits argued that the permanent warning signs were insufficient to alert motorists of the serious dangers of traveling the road while it was undergoing repairs. The judge ruled that the contractor followed their contract with DelDOT and was not negligent. In regards to DelDOT, he ruled that the state agency is protected from liability under the principle of "sovereign immunity," which in most cases prevents people from suing the government for punitive damages. The judge also noted that the claims filed about the family of the deceased teen against the driver were unaffected by the ruling.

A personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit can take years before a settlement is reached. While some people have enough savings to keep them financially stable, many are barely getting by. Most are struggling with ordinary household expenses, and to add hospital and medical bills without a steady income often times plaintiffs to accept a low-ball offer from the insurance company. Instead, they could benefit from lawsuit funding.

A lawsuit cash advance is a way for plaintiffs to borrow money, risk-free, before their case settles. There is no risk because if the lawsuit is unsuccessful, the plaintiff is under no obligation to repay the cash advance.

The two requirements to be eligible for lawsuit funding is a pending personal injury lawsuits that was caused by the negligence of another, and attorney representation. If you meet these qualifications, you are eligible to apply for a lawsuit cash advance.

When applying for lawsuit funding, plaintiffs do not need good credit and we do not evaluate assets. Can’t work because of your injuries? That is not a problem either. At Lawsuit Financial, our funding is provided solely on case strength and the expected settlement. Because we are a direct funding company, there are no third parties to consult in the approval process. This means we can make funding decisions typically within 24 – 48 hours.

Teen Killed In Pedestrian-Auto Accident Blocks From School

Pedestrian accidents may be the most devastating of all automobile related accidents, because they involve at least one person on foot, unprotected by a vehicle, seat belts, and airbags. When a car collides with a pedestrian, there is an extremely high potential for serious injury, even death.

While the driver is often to blame when a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, it isn't always the motorists' fault. Pedestrians can also cause accidents. Determining fault can sometimes be a complicated process. Did the driver run a red light? Was the driver speeding? Was the driver distracted? Did the pedestrian wander out into traffic while texting? Could either person have avoided the accident?

A 17-year-old Minnesota boy was struck and killed while crossing a county highway in Minnetonka, just blocks from school. The Minnesota State Patrol reported that around 6:20 a.m., a Nissan Munro traveling westbound hit the teen as he crossed the highway; he was not in a crosswalk or at an intersection when he was hit. The teen died at the scene. The driver and a passenger were not injured.

This tragedy is a good time to reiterate these pedestrian safety tips.

• Cross the street only at intersections or marked crosswalks
• Do not cross in the middle of a street or between cars
• Continuously watch for traffic while crossing the street
• Avoid walking on roads without sidewalks and crosswalks
• Always look both ways before crossing the street – even if it is not a busy intersection
• Do not assume that cars are driving slowly enough for you to cross or for them to stop
• Do not run or dash into the street

The investigation is ongoing. If the motorist is determined to have been at least partially at fault, the family of the deceased teen may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. While a lawsuit may be the furthest thing from the family’s mind in the devastating aftermath, seeking legal counsel and determining one’s rights is crucial. A personal injury attorney can help determine who may be at fault, and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for damages.

Unfortunately, the legal process can drag on for years. In order to wait for a fair settlement, yet avoid experiencing a shortfall in finances that could lead to a significant financial hardship, a plaintiff may benefit from litigation funding.

Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance meaning if the plaintiff loses his/her case, repayment is excused. The only eligibility requirements are attorney representation and a strong case. Applying for funding takes less than five minutes. There are no application fees, credit checks, employment history verifications, or monthly payments. Once we received the application and supporting documentation, a funding decision can be made within 24 – 48 hours.

If you are seriously injured or lose a loved one in a pedestrian-auto accident that was not your fault (or, was only partially your fault), you may be able to recover damages for medical bills, loss wages, pain and suffering, loss of companionship, loss of financial support, and funeral expenses. Contact a personal injury attorney who specializes in handling pedestrian accidents. After seeking legal representation, if you are in need help with your short-term financial needs, contact Lawsuit Financial.
