Can I Get a “Loan” During My Lawsuit?

We received a call from an injured victim asking “Will you fund my lawsuit?”  John went on to say that he was seriously injured in an auto accident and had been unable to work for months.  He filed a lawsuit, but has received no compensation to date; his attorney said it could be several more months before a settlement could be reached.  John had back surgery and will need extensive rehabilitation and physical surgery.  He constantly suffers from acute migraine headaches.  The doctors are not sure if John will ever be able to return to work full-time.  He contacted our office because the bills keep piling up and he is on the verge of losing his home.

In many cases, help is a phone call away. It's stressful enough when you or a family member is seriously injured without having to worry about losing everything. When things are financially at their worse during a personal injury lawsuit, many people turn to us for lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is ideal for people who need help paying the bills while waiting for their settlement.  It works by borrowing money from a lawsuit funding company, such as Lawsuit Financial and promising to pay back the “loan” when you receive your settlement.  The cash advance can be used for anything, but is typically meant to pay medical bills and cover living expenses while the case is being fought.  Lawsuit Financial never charges up-front fees and we don’t require monthly payments.  Our funding is also risk-free. If you lose your case, you pay absolutely nothing. Additionally, there are no credit checks and applicants need not be employed.  The only qualifying factor to received lawsuit funding is a case with merit.  This is why a lawsuit cash advance is a smart alternative. In addition, a lawsuit funding will allow plaintiffs to wait for a just settlement, meaning they don’t have to settle early and perhaps get less than they would from the court.

Simply complete our online application or call our office; we will do the rest.  If your lawsuit funding request is approved, we will provide the money you need, easily and quickly; typically within 48 hours.  We are dedicated to getting you the money you need when you need it the most.

Plaintiff Perseverance Leads to Just Compensation

Let’s assume you suffered serious injuries in an auto accident due to the negligence of someone else.  You have filed a suit against the negligent driver to compensate you for your losses and the negligent driver’s insurance company has offered you a settlement.  Should you take it? The answer depends on the circumstances of your case.  An experienced auto accidentattorney is the best to help you understand your rights and your chances of prevailing at trial, but it is true that jury-awarded compensation may be higher than an insurance company settlement offer. Here is an example.

A woman filed an auto accident lawsuit alleging her serious injuries were the result of a driver distracted with a text message.  The insurance company offered to settle the case for $300,000 despite the plaintiff’s attorney seeking $500,000 based on medical expenses, loss of wages, and need for future surgery and medical treatment. The plaintiff preserved and fought for full and fair compensation. In the end, the jury reached a verdict of $680,000 plus costs and interest, including all past medical expenses, $77,000 in past wage loss and $316,000 in future damages, for an approximate settlement of $930,000.

While a jury award will usually result in a much higher settlement, taking an auto accident injury claim to court is a lengthy process that could take months, even years.  During this time, plaintiffs often find themselves struggling to pay the additional expenses associated with their case.  If unable to work, even the daily bills may be hard to pay.  Sometimes, a plaintiff will be successful at trial and still not receive just compensation if the defendant appeals.

During a lengthy and stressful litigation process, don’t be intimidated by the defendant to settle for less than you deserve. Pre-settlement funding is a non-recourse cash advance to help plaintiffs wait out the long, legal process for settlement or verdict justice, without having to settle too soon for too little because the insurance company has all the time, leverage and money, and use these tools to its advantage.  The cash advance is often the answer to handling unexpected medical bills and ordinary living expenses, all while trying to pick of the pieces of their shattered lives. Repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit, meaning if the plaintiff loses their case, they would not be obligated to pay back the cash advance.

If you were seriously injured in an auto accident and need financial assistance to help pay the bills while waiting for your case to settle, pre-settlement funding may be the answer. There is no cost to apply, no monthly payments to make, and no upfront fees of any kind. After completing an online application, your case will be evaluated and if approved, funds can be wired into your account within 24-48 hours. Why struggle any longer?  If you are a plaintiff who needs immediate access to money, consider pre-settlement funding from an experienced provider rather than settling below jury award.

After Five Years, Family Obtains Justice in Cerebral Palsy Case

Medical professionals should be held accountable for delays in diagnosis that lead to life-long damages. Errors left unpunished are far more likely to be repeated. Unfortunately, many times plaintiffs can’t afford to pursue legal action due to financial constraints during a long litigation process.  This is where medical malpractice lawsuit funding may help.

According to a medical malpractice lawsuit, St. Charles Hospital and an obstetric nurse failed to properly monitor a pregnant mother and her fetus, missed important signs that the baby was in distress, and then failed to take corrective action resulting in the baby being born with severe brain injury and suffering a form of cerebral palsy.  The suit claimed that if the nursing team communicated with the obstetrician just 15 minutes sooner, and delivered the baby, this tragedy could have been avoided.  The child, now ten-years-old, will be confined to a wheelchair for the rest of her life.

After a four year legal battle, the family was awarded a $130 million settlement, the second-largest medical malpractice verdict in New York.  The defense attorneys have declared a “jury out of control” and calling for more tort reform.  An appeal is expected.

One point worth noting in this case is that the hospital offered to settle the case in 2008 for $8 million. The plaintiff’s attorney felt the offer was not enough to cover the damages done to this young victim and her family nor to cover a lifetime of care, hence the plaintiff declined the offer.  Although the case took nearly five years to settle, the couple is happy to know their daughter will be provided for their rest of her life.

I don’t know this family’s financial situation, but I would guess that the medical expenses alone left them financially strapped.  During this long ordeal, they may have qualified for litigation funding, a non-recourse cash advance against their pending lawsuit.  If the defendant files for an appeal, litigation funding can still be an option to alleviate some financial burdens.

When a plaintiff is dealing will the loss of income and mounting unpaid bills, lawsuit funding can be the emergency cash needed while the plaintiffs' attorney focuses on seeking full compensation.  Funding is based solely on the strength of the case; if the case is reviewed and appears to be winnable, the application will likely be approved with funds available within 24 - 48 hours. No money is owed until the case successfully settles at which time repayment is made from the proceeds of the case.  If the plaintiff loses the case, repayment is waived completely.

If you have filed, or plan to file, a medical malpractice lawsuit and are represented by an attorney, you may be eligible for medical malpractice lawsuit funding.  For a free consultation or to apply, contact LawsuitFinancial.

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. All funding is non-recourse, which means that if for any reason, there is no recovery on the case, no money is owed back.

If you are in a similar legal pursuit for justice and need financial assistance, Lawsuit Financial is here to help.  Visit us online or call our office to learn how lawsuit funding can empower you to pursue your case for the maximum settlement you deserve.

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.

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.
