When you place your elderly loved one in a care facility,
you expect that your loved one will be well-cared for and safe. Unfortunately,
negligence is all too common resulting in serious injuries or death. A lawsuit
may be the only way to seek justice and compensation for one’s loss. It may
also be a means to improve safety and quality of care.
A lawsuit alleges that fatal pressure ulcers were allowed to
develop and deteriorate, ultimately causing a patient’s death.
According to the claim, a number of defendants were negligent
in their medical care and directly responsible for causing the woman’s death. The
plaintiff says the defendants failed to administer and utilize proper care of
the patient over the course of her stay in residential care and various
hospital admissions from March 2015 to August 2015, leading her wounds to
“persist and deteriorate.” As a direct result, the patient sustained serious
injuries, including but not limited to, the development and/or deterioration of
multiple pressure ulcers, including a stage IV sacral pressure ulcer, and
death,” the suit says.
The plaintiff is seeking damages in excess of $50,000.
The time between when the lawsuit was filed and a
settlement is reach could stretch over years – time that is financially
difficult for many plaintiffs. When the ability to wait for compensation is not
an option, litigation funding
may be.
Litigation funding is a cash advance based on the
predicted outcome of a case. It may be the only financial means to pay the
bills until a fair settlement can be obtained. With bills paid and creditors at
bay, plaintiffs can concentrate on healing, and their attorney has more time to
seek full compensation. Receiving funding is based solely on the strength of
the case. If the case is reviewed and appears to be winnable, the request for
funding will most likely be approved.
Litigation funding comes with no risk to the plaintiff
because funding is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means that the
plaintiff pays nothing until the case settles, at which time the legal finance
company is repaid directly from the case proceeds. If the plaintiff loses, the repayment
is waived completely.
If you suffered physical or emotional injuries, or lost a
loved one, due to negligence by a trusted care provider, you may have grounds
for a personal injury or wrongful death case. Contact an experience attorney as
soon as possible. If you are seeking financial assistance during this time,
contact Lawsuit Financial. We
may be able to devise a legal
finance plan to assist you through the difficult time as you wait for a
larger, injury appropriate settlement. Call us today at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848)

Automobile
accidents are the number one cause of personal injuries in the U.S. Most auto
accident claims are settled successfully without a lawsuit ever being filed.
However, if attempts at resolution fail, a lawsuit may be the only possible means
to achieving justice. The first step is to consult an experienced auto accident
attorney.
An
auto accident attorney knows the tactics insurance companies use to avoid
paying what the victim deserves. While an attorney can build a strong case and
help get full compensation, this takes time. Since a financially desperate
plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations, it stands to
reason that removing financial pressure to settle early, and for too little,
will result in increased settlement proceeds for the plaintiff. One optimal
solution is lawsuit funding.
Often
termed “lawsuit loan”, lawsuit
funding is not a loan, but rather a lawsuit cash advance against a pending
suit. Its purpose is to help plaintiffs with unexpected expenses as a result of
an auto accident, as well as cover monthly household needs. Unlike a bank loan,
lawsuit funding requires no application fee, no monthly payments, no credit
check, and no employment verification. Best of all, funding is provided on a
non-recourse basis, meaning that should the plaintiff lose the case, repaying
the cash advance is completely waived.
Are
you struggling financially? Are the bills are piling up? Don’t let the fact
that you are out of work and the bills are becoming past due force you to
settle for less than the compensation you deserve. Turn to the legal funding
experts at Lawsuit Financial for
financial support.

Medical devices can improve and save lives, but when manufacturers
fail to properly ensure that their products are designed with safety in mind,
they should be held legally accountable for the injuries incurred. A defective
product lawsuit may be necessary to compensate an innocent victim, alert the
public about the dangerous product, and create an economic incentive for the
manufacturing company to produce safe products and provide sufficient warning
of the dangers of their products, ultimately resulting in the saving of lives. For
those in a medical device lawsuit, in need of emergency cash, Lawsuit Financial can help.
A California woman has filed a lawsuit claiming medical
device companies manufactured a defective model of an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter,
a device used to prevent pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs).
The IVC filter first entered the market in June 2009,
after receiving clearance from the FDA. The filter is a small mesh strainer
placed in the center of the IVC to trap clots going to the heart of lungs. It
may be left in place permanently or can be removed from the blood vessel later,
when the risk of a clot traveling to the lung has passed.
In this case, the plaintiff was implanted with the device
in September 2014. Subsequently, in April 2016, her doctor attempted surgical
retrieval of the filter, but was unable to do so because the retrieval hook at
the apex of the filter had become embedded into the wall of the plaintiff’s
vena cava. The doctor also attempted to utilize a retrieval snare to extract
the filter to no avail, according to the claim.
The lawsuit states that the defendants negligently
manufactured a defective and unsafe product, did not warn customers of its
flaws, and put a product on the market which may lead a patient to suffer
“severe health side effects, including, but not limited to: hemorrhage;
cardiac/pericardial tamponade; cardiac arrhythmia and other symptoms similar to
myocardial infarction; perforations of tissue, vessels and organs; and other
severe personal injuries and diseases.”
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and an undisclosed
amount in damages.
Lawsuits against medical companies can be time-consuming
and costly. When a plaintiff needs help to regain control of their finances, lawsuit funding can help.
At Lawsuit Financial, we understand that during
a lengthy litigation process bills can pile up, resulting in financial
hardship. To qualify for funding, all you need is a strong case and attorney
representation. We require no monthly payments, no credit checks, and you do
not need to be employed. With our quick and easy litigation funding services, we
can put no-risk cash in your pocket within 24 – 48 hours of receiving and
application and pertinent case documentation. The cash advance can be spent on
whatever you want, but is typically used to pay medical expenses, mortgage or
rent, car payments, utilities, or supplement loss of income. Repayment is only
made once your case settles; if you lose the case, repayment is waived.

you and your case.
Drunk driving is one of the most common causes of auto
accidents and grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit.
As thousands of people lined the sidewalks and median on
Saturday evening to watch the elaborate floats and clamored to catch beads at
the New Orleans Mardi Gras parade, a pick-up truck plowed into three vehicles, before
veering into the median where the crowd was watching the procession, according
to New Orleans police. Over 20 people were injured; most were treated at a
nearby hospital. Among the injured, the youngest is 3; the oldest are in their 40s.
The police and witnesses stated that the SUV driver appeared
to be highly intoxicated and ‘out of it.’ He has been charged with two counts
of first-degree vehicular negligence resulting in injury, and one count each of
reckless operation and hit-and-run driving.
It is difficult to recover from an auto accident, even more
so when the accident results in the serious injuries.
The victims of this crash deserve compensation for their
injuries. But, it is important not to settle to quickly with the insurance
company just to pay the bills. An attorney will work diligently to get the
maximum settlement, but it can take months, sometimes years. During this time,
medical bills and other expenses may pile up and some victims may face lost
income due to being out of work. Litigation
funding can provide the financial freedom needed until a settlement is
reached.
Litigation funding is a fast, risk-free cash advance based
solely on the merits of the case. This means there is no need for a credit
check or proof of employment. Once an application and supporting documentation
is received, Lawsuit Financial
can make a funding decision in less than 48 hours. A check would be sent via
direct deposit or overnight mail. Repayment
is made once the case settles. The best part is, if for some reason the case
does not successfully settle, the funded client is under no obligation to pay
us back. We only get paid if, and when, our client gets paid. Lawsuit funding
will never affect personal assets or credit score.
If you are the victim of a negligent driver and need
financial assistance during a pending lawsuit, contact Lawsuit Financial online or at 1-877-377-7848
to determine if your case qualifies for litigation funding.
Three people are dead and two others injured after a Cessna
310 plane crashed into two Southern California homes.
The plane was carrying a couple from San Jose and three
teenagers who were on their way home from a cheerleading competition at
Disneyland. All victims were onboard the plane at the time of the crash. One of
the teenagers was thrown from a back seat on impact; she suffered minor
injuries. She was treated and released from an area hospital. Firefighters
pulled another passenger from one of the burning homes. That victim was rushed
to the hospital in critical condition. The three deceased were found in the combined
wreckage of the aircraft and the homes. No homeowners were injured.
The plane was broken into hundreds of pieces, its propeller
sitting on the roof of a nearby home, and the fire burning with jet fuel was
still ablaze several hours after the crash. The two homes that were directly hit
burned to the ground; neighboring homes suffered minor damage. Debris was
scattered across front lawns, landing as far as a half-mile away, according to
reports.
The crash will be investigated by the National
Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). Determining the cause(s) may take years to
unfold.
There are a host of different reasons this fatal crash could
have happened. It could have been due to pilot error. It could have been caused
by a mechanical problem, known or unknown.
It could have been due to the failure to properly maintain and inspect
the aircraft. It could have been the
result of a defective product.
No matter how this investigation concludes, victims should
seek legal advice from an experienced attorney as soon as possible. They may be
able to receive compensation for serious injuries and wrongful deaths, as well
as damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, funeral expenses,
and other damages.
Once a lawsuit is filed, if the victims are suffering immediate
financial problems, Lawsuit
Financial can provide immediate financial assistance. This service, known
as lawsuit funding, helps
plaintiffs pay necessary bills and expenses during the litigation process.
It is easy to apply for this lawsuit cash advance online or
by phone and there are no costs or fees associated with the application. There
are also no monthly payments, credit checks, or employment verification. If
approved, the lawsuit cash advance
would arrive within 24-48 hours by check or by wire. Repayment is contingent
upon the outcome of the case; if the plaintiff loses their case, the lawsuit
cash advance is waived in its entirety. Where else can you obtain a “risk-free lawsuit loan”?

A pedestrian suffered fatal
injuries after being struck by a vehicle while he was in a marked crosswalk.
According to a news report, a driver
was negotiating a turn when he hit a pedestrian. The pedestrian suffered
critical injuries and was transported to an area trauma center, where he died a
few hours later. The accident is still under investigation, but police do not
believe alcohol or drugs were factors.
Under California law, drivers are
required to stop and yield the right of way to pedestrians who are walking in
marked and unmarked crosswalks. If the driver is found at fault, he/she can be
held liable for the pedestrian’s wrongful death.
A wrongful death attorney can
ensure that the family’s rights are protected and decide the best course of
action in recovering the maximum compensation for funeral and burial expenses,
anticipated and future lifetime earnings, loss of love, care and companionship,
and other damages related to this pedestrian accident. An experienced attorney can
also help determine whether dangerous or defective road conditions were
contributing factors. If the road conditions are determined to be dangerous to
the public, the city may also be liable for the pedestrian’s wrongful death.
While the family may eventually
receive a financial settlement to compensate them for their loss, it can be a
long and complicated process. The last thing they need to deal with during the
pain and grief process is legal and financial issues. Yet, it is important to
avoid the trap of agreeing to settle too early for too little.
When plaintiffs in a pending claim
experience a shortfall in their finances, they may benefit from a “lawsuit loan”, known more
accurately as lawsuit funding.
Lawsuit funding is a valuable
service that removes the financial pressure to settle too early for too little
compensation, and allows plaintiffs to continue with the litigation so they
receive the compensation and justice deserved.
The only eligibility requirements are
attorney representation and a strong case. There are no application fees,
credit checks, employment history verifications, or monthly payments. Once an
application is completed and case documentation is received, the underwriters at
Lawsuit Financial will review
the case for funding. If approved, we can wire transfer or overnight mail the
cash advance within 24 – 48 hours. Best of all, lawsuit funding is a
non-recourse cash advance meaning if the plaintiff loses the case, the lawsuit
funding is excused and the money does not have to be repaid.
Don’t let bills pile up and ruin
your credit. If you are seriously injured or lost a loved one in a pedestrian-auto
accident due to the negligence of someone else, you may be able to recover
damages for medical bills, funeral expenses, loss wages, and pain and suffering.
Begin by contacting an attorney who specializes in handling pedestrian
accidents. Once your case is filed, contact Lawsuit Financial before the agreeing
to a less-than-favorable settlement. A request for funding can be handled
online or over the phone. We also provide free funding consultations.
On February 18, the weather was unusually warm in
southeastern Michigan. A Marysville couple decided to take the opportunity to
go for a ride on their motorcycle. On the way home that evening, they were
killed in a crash. A witness told police that the man was operating the
motorcycle when it struck a curb. The impact threw the couple off the
motorcycle.
At the scene, police found the man in the grass and
the female passenger lying in the road. There was a wrecked Harley Davidson
nearby. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene; the man died at the
hospital the next evening after being taken off life support. Neither was
wearing a helmet. The couple leave behind two daughters, nine and
eight-months-old. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.
This fatal crash could have been
due to a distraction, defective tire, an object in the road, speeding, or a
host of other reasons. No matter the cause, many people think that something
like this will never happen to them, but it can.
Would a helmet have saved this
couple? Possibly.
Studies have shown that those who
have been involved in a motorcycle accident while wearing a helmet suffer far
less head injuries and/or are less seriously hurt than those not wearing
protective head gear. Yet, many motorcyclists and their passengers still don’t
wear one.
Although it is only February and cold
weather isn’t completely behind us, more warm days will surely come and go.
Make sure these safety tips don’t.
-
Check the bike before each ride including tire tread, air pressure, battery, headlights, oil and other fluids, frame and suspension.
- Follow the rules of the road. Obey speed limits and all traffic signals, and use hand signals for turning. Don’t follow too closely and don’t weave in and out of lanes.
- Practice defensive riding. Avoid riding in blind spots, use turn signals, and extra caution when passing a vehicle.
- Position yourself to be seen. Use lane placement to help you see further and others to see you.
- Use protective eyewear and wear protective clothing to serve as a buffer from the impact of an accident.
- Use a helmet even if it is not required in your state.
