A patient becoming paralyzed after surgery is a horrific event that, unfortunately, does occur. In some cases, the paralysis may be caused by negligence or a medical error, resulting in a medical malpractice lawsuit. Such is a recent case in Maryland where a man is suing his doctor for what he calls a botched spinal surgery.

A patient underwent surgery for a neck injury he sustained after a fall. The surgeon was to remove a disk from the patient’s spine and replace it with fixed metal hardware. At some point during the surgery, the doctor allegedly tore the dura around the patient’s spinal cord. The man now has limited muscle control and permanent, though partial, paralysis.

This case is underway; the medical malpractice lawsuit filed two weeks ago; three years after the surgery that changed this man’s life forever. This can, and most likely will be, a long legal process. The burden of proof is on the patient to show where and how the negligence occurred. What if the diagnosis was incorrect? What if a machine malfunctioned during the surgery that led to the mistake? Maybe it was pure negligence on the surgical team.

In the event that the case is the result of negligence and the patient and his attorney are able to prove it, they will still need to present the case to a jury who will determine a fair and equitable settlement. Compensation can cover medical expenses, loss wages, pain and suffering, and long-term care and treatment.

Moving forward with this case will be an emotionally and financially draining process. It will be important for this patient to work closely with his attorney to ensure his rights are protected and justice is served. It won’t be a simple process as the defendant will most likely argue that the accident was either unpreventable, or not the fault of the surgeon. As he proceeds through this difficult time, he may find himself under financial duress. The bills may begin to pile up – medical expenses, mortgage, utilities, and more. How can he make ends meet when he is disabled and can no longer work? Where can he turn for financial help so he isn’t forced to settle his case too soon and for too little?

Lawsuit funding is often the answer to difficult situations where a family or individual is struggling to make ends meet without sufficient funds to handle unexpected medical bills and ordinary living expenses, all while trying to pick of the pieces of their shattered lives. With a lawsuit cash advance, the repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. That means if the plaintiff loses their case, they do not have to pay the money back. After completing an application, a case can be evaluated and if approved, funds can be wired into your account within 24-48 hours. Why struggle any longer? The call is free; the advice is priceless.

An automobile accident victim and his wife were awarded a $3.5 million jury verdict, the highest in Jackson, MI for an auto accident cast this year. The jury awarded the plaintiff $1.5 million for past and present damages and $1.5 million of future damages. His wife, a passenger in the vehicle during the time of the accident, will receive $380,000 in past and present damages and $120,000 in future damages.

The auto accident occurred in August 2008. The plaintiff’s van was struck from behind by a tractor-trailer when the truck driver was unable to stop and swerved on to the shoulder to avoid a rear-end collision. Unfortunately, the trailer jack-knifed and hit the rear of the van, pushing it into oncoming traffic causing the van to be struck by another semi-tractor trailer. The plaintiff sustained a traumatic brain injury, two fractured vertebrae, and suffers from depression as a result of the accident. He can no longer walk without the assistance of a cane, suffers from memory loss and the ability to concentration, and is not long able to perform activities that were once part of his daily life, and he can no longer work as a fork lift driver.

The lawsuit was filed seeking damages of $12 million. The defendant argued that the plaintiff did not suffer a TBI and said the jury agreed. There will be no appeal because both parties agreed that as long as the verdict was below $4 million, the trucking company’s insurance policy limit, the case would settle. Was this the right thing for the plaintiff to do? Does it send the wrong message that the plaintiffs past, present, and future injuries are trivial? We must rely on our jury system to make the right decisions.

When a person is injured in an auto accident and sustains temporary or long-term injuries it can be devastating in itself. Add to that time lost from work or permanently losing employment due to injuries, topped with ongoing medical care, and a victim can be sent through financial turmoil. Awaiting justice can be a frightening time for the plaintiff, who might wonder how to make ends meet.

This is a common situation after sustaining injuries in an auto accident, and one that is a perfect candidate for assistance from a reputable lawsuit funding company. While bills and medical expenses mounted for this couple, they may have sought assistance from a bank or family members. Even if a family could qualify for a loan in these extreme circumstances, a loan from a bank, friend or family member requires repayment regardless of case outcome. The risk-free alternative is legal finance.

This unfortunate man was only 39-years old when he was badly burned in a flash fire that was started by chemicals at his place of employment, Houston based K-Solv, a transportation and chemical storage company.

While xylene was being loaded into a tanker under the supervision and control of another company, C&G Hotshot, the highly flammable vapors erupted into flames. The victim was forced to jump 12 feet to escape the inferno; he fractured both his ankles as a result of his leap to safety off the tanker and burns to more than 25% of his body. The burns included second degree to his forearms and back and third degree to his lower legs. The pain he endured and is still enduring is phenomenal. Thus, when he spoke to a personal injury lawyer, he was informed that he might be able to recover compensation for his catastrophic injuries, possibly compensation that would take care of him for the rest of his life.

His medical expenses must be staggering. Medical care will be continuous and painful; injuries this serious are life-altering. How does he deal with his disability, support his family, and pay his bills while waiting for the litigation to resolve in his favor? he pay his bills and still get on with his life? One perfect answer is to apply for pre-settlement funding from a lawsuit funding company.

It only takes a few minutes for the plaintiff to fill out a form online or to call the legal finance company directly and start asking questions about eligibility for what some refer to as a "lawsuit loan". This is a little known service that offers plaintiffs in dire financial straits fast cash litigation funding to tide them over until they receive a verdict or settlement in their favor. This case, fortunately, resulted in a $6.9 Million verdict. It is not known whether the verdict has been appealed or paid and we wish the plaintiff well in his future pursuits of justice and a return to good health.

Once an applicant has been approved for funding, a check or wire will be provided within 24-48 hours. Plaintiffs are advised to use the money for important bills and expenses, mortgage, rent, car utility payments or accident related medical expenses. This allows plaintiffs to wait out the long, legal process until they receive satisfactory compensation, either by settlement or verdict. Early offers by greedy insurance companies are usually in their own best interest, not in the plaintiffs'. Plaintiffs are advised not to settle too soon for too little compensation. Lawsuit funding allows plaintiffs to follow their attorneys' advice, decline those low offers, and await trial or appropriate settlement.

A family of four filed a lawsuit stemming from a January 2009 automobile accident. The father, a passenger in the vehicle and the family bread winner, suffered severe spinal injuries. All family members (husband, wife and two small children) suffered some level of injury in the accident. Recently, almost two years after the accident, the family received a $1.68 million verdict. For almost two years, this man has been out of work due to his injuries; two years of therapy and ongoing medical treatment; two years for this family to receive no compensation and no support for his family, as the result of the negligence of another behind the wheel of a car. I have no idea how much insurance was available here, or whether the entire amount of the verdict is collectible. I also don't know whether the verdict will be appealed, which would delay recovery another couple of years, or so.

There are millions of families like this one, where a family member (or several) is seriously injured in an automobile accident. It happens over and over, year after year. Because greedy insurance companies rarely do the right thing unless they are forced to, the injured party must file a lawsuit and must wait a long time for the case to resolve in his/her favor. The insurance company knows the system, knows how to play it, and knows how to make a plaintiff desperate to settle for pennies on the dollar. The financial strain not only seriously impacts the victim's life, it also impacts the case. A financially desperate plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations. Often, a victim is quite willing to settle for too little, too soon. Your attorney is working on a contingency, so legal fees are not an issue. But, how do you survive, financially, while you wait for a trial or a settlement?

There are a few options; most being risky – credit card advances, home equity loan, second mortgage. All of these options require repayment regardless of the outcome of your case; they also require monthly payments. With a second mortgage, you risk losing your home if you lose your case. For many people, a viable alternative is lawsuit funding.

What is lawsuit funding, you ask? This is a non-recourse lawsuit cash advance with your personal injury case being offered as the only collateral for the advance. Litigation funding is a way to receive the cash you need now with no risk. Why "no risk"? Because the plaintiff does not pay back the "lawsuit loan" if the case fails to recover money damages. In other words, if you lose your case, you keep the money, free of charge.

Lawsuit Financial is a company that has been provided this service, professionally and compassionately for almost 12 years. We charge no upfront fees and require no monthly payments. After completing a simple application, if you qualify for legal finance cash, the money is provided by check or wire into your account within 24 – 48 hours. Why settle for less than the value of your case when Lawsuit Financial is here to help you? You don't have to lose your house to make ends meet. We provide automobile accident lawsuit funding as well as pre-settlement funding for many other types of personal injury cases. Interested plaintiffs may apply for lawsuit financing from Lawsuit Financial by calling 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) or visiting us on the web at www.lawsuitfinancial.com.

In this multiple vehicle automobile accident case, a car hit a tractor trailer, veered straight across the median and slammed into two other cars. One person was killed; the estate of the deceased filed a lawsuit, arguing that the 18-wheeler’s driver knew that his brakes were faulty. It was a tough case to prove and the jury did not buy the plaintiff's arguments. They assessed liability on the deceased driver, who started the chain accident in the first place. In other words, this case was decided for the defense.

If the family of the deceased had chosen to apply for pre-settlement funding, they would have had some measure of recovery, a small victory, if you will. That's because in cases like this, where the jury finds for the defense, and lawsuit funding was provided, the plaintiff keeps the money and the company that advanced the funds against the case is the loser. That is the risk that a legal finance company takes. In other words, even though the plaintiff lost the case, the lawsuit cash advance would be the plaintiff's to keep, free and clear.

Litigation funding is often provided to cash strapped plaintiffs who are faced with significant debt resulting from increased medical expenses and lost time from work. It is difficult to make ends meet when you are disabled, have no money coming in, and settlement of your case is months, sometimes years away. Many victims in this situation have nowhere to turn to pay their bills, even if health insurance covers some of the medical expenses.

"Lawsuit loans" (as some people erroneously refer to these transactions) are easy to apply for. Approval is based on the quality of and expected length of time a case will take to resolve. If the plaintiff is approved, he/she will receive their lawsuit cash advance within 24-48 hours. Pay those important bills, relieve your financial anxiety and then sit back, relax, and wait patiently for a fair outcome to the litigation. Let your experienced personal injury attorney work his/her magic.

It costs nothing to apply for litigation funding. There are no fees of any kind and no monthly payments to make to the legal finance company. You apply, you get approved, you get your money and you are set to get back on your feet financially. And, again, if you lose, you keep the money, free and clear. This is no-risk lawsuit financing.

This is a case of admitted fault, but significant differences of opinion about the scope and seriousness of the injuries suffered. The difference were so significant that the case went to trial. The jury found for the plaintiff, agreeing with their assertion that the two herniated discs sustained in a rollover were serious enough to merit a $100,000 award.

In the automobile accident that resulted in the lawsuit, the plaintiff’s car was slammed into a cement barrier by another vehicle, and was hit once again by that same vehicle, causing it to roll over. The plaintiff is lucky to be alive.

The plaintiff suffered serious back injuries, diagnosed as herniated discs. These conditions affected the plaintiff’s income and ability to pay his bills. When a lawsuit gets heated, when it is hotly contested, as this one was, how does an injured and disabled plaintiff support himself? The answer, of course, is lawsuit funding.

A lawsuit cash advance is a form of emergency funds, paid to cash strapped plaintiffs who have no other way to deal with their ongoing regular bills and expenses and those extraordinary expenses related to the accident. Funding is not based on creditworthiness or job history; litigation funding is based solely on the strength and weaknesses of the case. If the case has a decent chance of success, legal finance should be approved. The amount of any potential legal funding depends upon the estimated value of the case.

If pre-settlement funding is approved, after the lawsuit financing company has reviewed case details, the plaintiff may expect funds to arrive within hours after the paperwork has been signed. It is a very simple process. Use the money wisely; it is expensive, because is the case fails, the funds are free. That is why Lawsuit Financial recommends that lawsuit funding only be used for important bills and expenses like medical bills, mortgage and car payments, rent, utilities or tuition. Legal funding removes the financial pressure to settle your valuable case too soon for too little and allows you to wait for an appropriate settlement or verdict. Follow your experienced personal injury lawyer's professional advice as to whether an offer is right for you. For free phone advice or to apply for a lawsuit cash advance, call 1-877-377-SUIT.

A jury recently awarded nearly $5 million to the family of a seventeen-year-old boy who was seriously injured in a skiing accident in 2003. The young man was only ten at the time of the accident. He was on a ski trip with a church group; his first time skiing. The boy was apparently confused about which was the beginners slope and which was the advanced slope and inadvertently chose the advanced slope. He crashed into another skier at 55 miles per hour.

As a result of the crash, the boy fractured his lumbar and thoracic spine and sustained nerve damage to his left ankle and leg; he needed several surgeries. His parents filed a premises liability lawsuit arguing that their teen did not receive ski lessons or instructions and was not chaperoned or advised to stay with a ski partner. This, apparently, was promised when the parents decided to sign their son up for the trip.

The defendants disagreed with the verdict; they believe that important evidence was excluded at trial and was not heard by the jury. Church officials are consulting with their attorneys about future legal strategy. They are concerned that this decision will have far-reaching implications for institutions that plan events for young children. The plaintiffs, on the other hand, feel that justice was served; they believe that the result was fair and appropriate as a result of injuries suffered from the negligent planning, organization and supervision of this ski trip. They hope that this verdict help protect other kids in the future.

Although a verdict was reached within a week, this family waited seven years for justice to be served. The medical bills for their son’s surgeries, therapy, medications and other care were extensive. They may have taken out a loan or second mortgage to cover these expenses in order to avoid accepting an insufficient offer from the insurance company. Their alternative to a traditional loan would have been to apply for lawsuit funding. This is a lawsuit cash advance and, unlike a loan, it is collateralized only by the case. Thus, if the case lost, the money would not have to be repaid. Try getting a deal like that from a bank. In this family's case, the the last seven years may not have been so financially draining if they availed themselves of litigation funding.

In most types of personal injury litigation, a reputable legal finance company will provide lawsuit financing to help plaintiffs pay medical bills, mortgage or rent payments, car payments, utilities and other important bills. The financial relief provided will assist the plaintiff in waiting out the long, legal process for a fair settlement or verdict in the case.

Lawsuit funding is different than a bank in other aspects, as well. For instance, there are no monthly payments to make, no credit checks, the applicant does not need to be employed, and credit history is not considered. The legal funding company provides its service solely based upon the merits of your personal injury lawsuit. The goal of this pre-settlement funding is to relieve your financial concerns, prevent you from settling your valuable case for less than it is worth, and continue to provide you with needed assistance throughout the long legal process. Simply complete an application online or by phone. If you qualify, the funds will be available to you within 24-48 hours. And you only repay the lawsuit cash advance if you win or settle your case. If you lose, you keep the money, free of charge.

So, if you or a loved one has suffered a serious injury and are now struggling financially while waiting for your lawsuit to resolve, you owe it to yourself to contact the legal finance experts at Lawsuit Financial. We want to help you achieve justice. Call us at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) or visit us online at http://www.lawsuitfinancial.com. The call is free, the consultation is free, and the advice is priceless.

This case is every woman's worst nightmare. A woman underwent a modified radical mastectomy, then discovered that the procedure was unnecessary.

In 2008, her doctor discovered a large lump in her right breast in the same location she’d had a lumpectomy 17 months earlier. The biopsy tissue was sent to a lab for testing; the pathologist found no signs of malignancy or any other atypical cells. The woman’s medical malpractice lawsuit indicated that the doctor should not have diagnosed her with recurrent breast cancer without any radiographic studies or further tissue biopsies.

At trial, despite the lab findings, the doctor stood by his diagnosis. He indicated that his initial diagnosis, before the first lumpectomy, was that the patient had one of the most aggressive types of breast cancer and that the surgery was necessary. The jury did not agree with the doctor and awarded the woman $189,200.00.

This is a tough case for any woman. Dealing with breast cancer, and the unnecessary loss of her breasts should be enough. But women in these situations must deal with the stress of a lawsuit, a public airing of their private parts and, at the same time, struggle with health and financial issues caused by their condition. "How can I miss all of this time from work? How am I going to pay these additional bills? Will I get better? What about the mortgage, rent, car payments, utilities, tuition?"

It is actually quite easy for a person involved in a lawsuit to find the money to pay for these important bills and expenses while trying to heal and litigate the case. Woman in these situations can apply for lawsuit funding from a professional, caring legal finance company.

Pre-settlement funding is fast cash given to a plaintiff in advance of their jury verdict or settlement. The award is usually based on the lawyer's opinion of the potential success of the case and its potential value. If the case has a reasonable chance to be successful, the plaintiff should qualify for some level of litigation funding. If a plaintiff qualifies, a lawsuit cash advance will dispense, by check or wire, with 24-48 hours of the legal funding company's approval. Because of the risk involved, these lawsuit financing transactions tend to be on the expensive side, so it is advised that the money be used for an important purpose.

A "lawsuit loan" is often a good strategic move for the plaintiff; if the financial pressure to resolve the case to pay important bills and expenses is removed, the plaintiff can reject inadequate offers and wait, patiently, for a fair one. He/she can follow the expert advice of his/her professional, experienced trial lawyer. Who does that hurt? The insurance company and the offending doctor, that's who. So, call an experienced lawsuit funding company today. The call is free; the advice is priceless.

This was a long case for the Johnston family and a fatal one for Jerry Johnston, diagnosed with cancer in 2008. He didn’t even live eight months. His wrongful death lawsuit stated he had been exposed to asbestos gaskets and packing products for eight years in the 70s while he worked at Dow Chemical.

The suit named 20 entities, but only one went to trial, John Crane. John Crane was found 15% liable and the total award of $27.5 million was reduced to $4.1 million. And this is the first point of this web log. This jury awarded $27.5 million; this is what the jury thought was appropriate compensation. But how much did the family receive? That's right, $4.1 million. Why? Because only one of the 20 entities was a defendant in the trial and the jury found them to be only 15% responsible. 15% of $27.5 million is $4.1 million and that's all the family got. With all of these allegations about "jackpot justice", "tort reform" and "lawsuit abuse", I want the public to know that the civil justice system has checks and balances and what some believe are "outrageous" or "jackpot" verdicts are actually rendered for very serious consequences or are corrected by the system, itself. There is no need for "reform". That is a myth and a public relations campaign to provide corporate welfare to rich insurance company and large corporate tortfeasors who pollute, poison, maim and injure our citizens. Don't buy in to this nonsense known as "tort reform".

The shock of losing someone you love to a disease caused by the materials used by his employer, who knew or should have known better, is devastating. And the employer wouldn't do the right thing; the widow had to sue the company to get it to do so. A lawsuit was necessary to obtain appropriate compensation for the death of her husband, the family's breadwinner. She would have had a hard time trying to cope with the influx of all his medical bills that would have still arrived even after his death.

One way for her to deal with the expenses while waiting for trial and eventual justice was to request an emergency lawsuit cash advance from a professional lawsuit funding company. Litigation funding is specifically designed to assist plaintiffs in getting back on their feet financially help them satisfy outstanding debts, and await appropriate results from the lawsuit.

This is "pre-settlement funding"; it is provided in advance of a jury verdict or other case resolution. Legal finance is based only on the strength and weaknesses of the case, thus there are not credits checks, payments to make, hoops to jump through. The legal funding company requests information from your attorney and can have you approved within 24-48 hours after receiving that necessary information.

So, if you are involved in a lawsuit, don't let a greedy insurance company push you around. And don't settle your case for pennies on the dollar because you need cash now. Listen to your experienced personal injury attorney; turn down those inadequate offers and wait out the process knowing that your expenses are covered. It goes into their bank account, pays their bills and let’s them wait until a verdict is reached. Lawsuit Financial is an example of a highly skilled, professional lawsuit financing company. The call to Lawsuit Financial is free; the advice is priceless.

A man was awarded $617k in a personal injury lawsuit due to injuries he sustained while on the job. According to the lawsuit, the man was delivering paper to a business. He claimed that his ankle was crushed under supplies that fell from a pallet jack being operated by a worker at the company he was delivering to. The plaintiff alleged that he was injured due the employee's negligence. He also alleged that the company was negligent in failing to provide proper training to its employees in the use of a pallet jack, failing to properly supervise those employees, and was not OSHA certified to use pallet jacks. OSHA certification was a mandated provision for power industrial truck operators. The jury, after hearing all of the evidence, awarded the plaintiff $950,000. The jury attributed 35% negligence to the plaintiff and the award was reduced accordingly.

The plaintiff underwent two surgeries to repair torn tendons, and he also needed extensive physical therapy. Due to his injuries, he was out of work for months. The medical bills in this case were quite extensive and with lost wages, the plaintiff, likely, have been struggling to pay his bills. One way to resolve his financial dilemma without sacrificing his case for pennies on the dollar was to apply for lawsuit funding.

Here's how it works: The litigation funding company will look at your case, and if the company believes that the case has merit, it will advance a portion of the expected settlement to the plaintiff. A lawsuit cash advance can be used for any reason you choose; however, it is recommended that it be used to meet your important necessities, living expenses like mortgage, rent, utilities, car payments, food, or to assist with outstanding medical bills resulting from injuries caused by the accident. The lawsuit funding company assumes all the risks. If the plaintiff loses the case, he/she owes nothing.

If you have a pending personal injury lawsuit settlement and your bills are piling up, consider pre-settlement funding. It is simple to apply for legal finance online or in person. You have nothing to lose and much to gain. Reducing the financial pressure to settle your valuable case too soon for too little compensation will help you increase your case results. So, before you consider accepting a low offer from the insurance company, you owe it to yourself to contact the lawsuit funding experts. The call is free; the advice is priceless.

A young man was rear-ended in an auto accident when he stopped for a traffic back-up on the highway. A tractor-trailer slammed into him without any attempt to slow down or apply the brakes. The young man’s brother was traveling ahead of him in another vehicle. He saw the accident in his rea-view mirror, stopped and rushed to his brother's aid and tried CPR; sadly, his brother had died, instantly.

What a heart wrenching ordeal for this family. The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit, and, years later, was awarded $1.3 million, despite the defendant’s argument that the young man’s headlights and taillights were not working properly. The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one is devastating, especially when it is due to the negligence of an inattentive driver. The survivors want to seek justice, but full value may be years away and the family is already struggling financially. There may be medical bills, mortgage, car payments, tuition, and funeral expenses. Filing a lawsuit may add additional expense, plus the family must relive events that cause significant pain and suffering.

However, justice must be served; there is hope that a lawsuit will prevent such horrific acts from happening to someone else. So then, how does the family see this litigation through to conclusion? How does it survive, financially, while awaiting justice from a judge, jury or settlement? The answer is lawsuit funding.

Legal finance services are provided in the form of a non-recourse, lawsuit cash advance; this means that the advance and profit due are only required if the case resolves in the plaintiff’s favor. The best way to use litigation funding is as leverage. The litigation process can take months, sometimes years to settle. Since insurance companies have all the time and money in the world, there are many situations where the plaintiff may feel the need to take a low settlement offer simply because he/she is having financial difficulties caused by injuries suffered in the accident. Insurance companies know the client is hurting; they know he/she is disabled; they know the client is suffering financially.

Lawsuit financing is the means to allowing a plaintiff to avoid this type of tactic. All the plaintiff needs to do is fill out an application form online or call the pre-settlement funding company directly for information. Once their case is approved, the lawsuit cash advance will arrive by check or wire within 24-48 hours. Plaintiffs pay no monthly fee. They only repay the cash advance if they win their case. If their case is lost, the legal funding would be theirs to keep, without any obligation to repay.

It was a cold, wintry day in Oregon last January 25. The roads were snowy and slush-covered, reducing the speed for most motorists. A woman was headed to work when the driver of an 18-wheeler pulling two trailers sped around a curve, lost control, crossed the center line into oncoming traffic, and slammed head-on into the woman’s Toyota 4-Runner. The woman died instantly. Now, her husband and children are suing the truck driver and his employer for negligence and wrongful death for an unspecified amount. Obviously, this fatal motor vehicle accident has completely devastated the family. A person who kills someone through negligence, recklessness or a deliberate act, harms not only the victim, but the victim's family that depended on the deceased for emotional and, sometimes, financial support. This family has not only lost a wife and mother, but her companionship, income, and benefits.

The plaintiffs hope this wrongful death lawsuit provides a measure of justice for needlessly causing the death of their loved one. According to the suit, the trucking company was negligent, careless and reckless in the hiring, training and supervision of the driver, and it knew, or reasonably should have known, that the driver was incompetent or unfit to be driving the 18-wheeler. The lawsuit also alleges that the trucker was driving at speeds greater than were reasonable or lawful under the weather conditions.

Serious and fatal auto accidents are devastating physically, emotionally, and often times financially. The wheels of justice can turn very slowly, so slowly that plaintiffs may experience financial hardship awaiting resolution to their lawsuit. To avoid financial struggles, a plaintiff can apply for lawsuit funding; this is cash now, a lawsuit cash advance, to assist the family with medical bills, mortgage payments, funeral expenses, and other necessary expenses while waiting for the case to resolve.

An application for litigation funding can be completed online or by phone. The process is free, there are no credit checks, and employment is not necessary because a "lawsuit loan" is made only against the lawsuit. It is based on the case and its potential for compensation, not against you or your creditworthiness. So, if you have a case that you think will qualify for funding, call a professional legal finance company; don't settle your valuable case for pennies on the dollar because you need cash now. Let Lawsuit Financial provide you with the time you need to wait out the legal process and get the compensation your case deserves.

If you or a loved one has filed a lawsuit and struggling financially to make ends meet and considering accepting an offer from the insurance company that you know is less than case value, you owe it to yourself to contact a reputable lawsuit funding company. The call is free; the advice is priceless.

Each year, cancer affects millions of families. The health care industry repeatedly reminds us that early diagnosis and detection is critical in order to be treated and receive the most favorable outcome. Yet, we often hear about misdiagnosed cancer and medical malpractice lawsuits resulting from them.

In this case, the patient was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection that was later determined to be lung cancer. The estate of the deceased argued that when the patient did not get better and the symptoms did not resolve, additional measures should have been taken; additional tests should have been performed.

A lawsuit was filed; the case could not be settled and it went to trial. At trial, the defense countered that the symptoms presented by the deceased did not suggest cancer. Defense arguments averred that the disease was at a progressive stage; thus, even if diagnosed, appropriate treatment would not have changed or prolonged the outcome. They jury did not agree; it found in favor of the plaintiff and awarded the deceased’s estate $1,500,000.

Moving forward after a devastating loss is emotionally and financially draining for surviving family members. Medical malpractice cases, like this one, are long, drawn out, draining battles. Trying to make ends meet with ordinary cost of living expenses, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and the loss of a family member's income adds to the stress of just living. How does a family cope during this time?

Unfortunate families like this one are excellent candidates for lawsuit funding. A lawsuit cash advance could help them deal with their financial issues. Repayment of litigation funding proceeds is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If a litigant loses the case, the litigant and/or his family does not have to pay the money back. Legal finance is often the answer to difficult situations where a family or individual is between a rock and a hard place without sufficient funds to handle unexpected medical bills and ordinary living expenses, while pursuing a lawsuit and trying to pick of the pieces of shattered lives.

A grieving family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit as the result of a fatal automobile-motorcycle accident that killed the motorcyclist. The motorcycle driver collided with the side of a bus as bus driver was making a left turn. The bus driver said that after stopping at a sign, he proceeded to make a left turn. He claimed he did not see the motorcyclist, that his first indication was the sound of the motorcycle hitting the bus. The victim died the next day, leaving behind a wife and small child.

The family accuses the bus driver of failing to stop, slow down, or swerve to avoid the accident; it claims that he was not paying adequate attention to the road. A preliminary investigation has revealed that the bus driver failed to yield directly prior to the incident. The defendant claims the victim was speeding and that his "half-size design" helmet did not qualify under state or DOT standards. The preliminary investigation also reveals that the motorcyclist may have been speeding.

There are still unanswered questions regarding this case, and it may take several months if not years to settle. If the family wins their wrongful death lawsuit, they can recoup damages covering medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and loss of income. Until that time, possibly years from now, this unfortunate family may experience financial trouble from the loss of their loved one.

Lawsuit funding is a service that will pay all those bills immediately and allow the family to get on with their normal life; the legal finance company will patiently wait for repayment at case conclusion, out of potential settlement proceeds. And, the best part is that if the family loses this highly contested case, it keeps the money, without any obligation to pay it back. This is, truly, no-risk lawsuit funding.

An experienced legal funding company will review the case, promptly, and, upon approval, provide the lawsuit cash advance necessary to cover daily household expenses, medical bills, and funeral expenses. After the application is approved, lawsuit finance proceeds are available within 24 – 48 hours. The process is easy by simply applying online or by phone. Don't settle a valuable case for pennies on the dollar because you need cash now; get litigation funding instead and wait out the process for the compensation you and your family deserve.

A $14.4 million jury verdict has been awarded to the victim of a head-on automobile accident which was allegedly caused by an inattentive driver, who was using his cell phone at the time of the crash. The victim was taken to an area hospital where he remained for over a month from a traumatic brain injury (TBI), fractured left humerus (arm bone), and crushed left ankle. The TBI has caused difficulties with recognition, processing and understanding the speech of others, and concentrating. Often times, he cannot recognize his wife or young child.

The injured man's injuries are debilitating. He is unable to work and requires daily assistance. Prior to the accident, he worked as a repairman earning between $40,000 and $50,000 each year. Not only has his family lost his income, they continue to receive medical bills from previous surgeries and ongoing physical therapy. Sadly, his brain injuries are permanent. His wife sought recovery of damages for loss of consortium. She works part-time; she is unable to work full-time because of the personal care needs of her husband. A jury awarded the plaintiff $14.4 million - $10.4 million for the plaintiff and $4 million for his wife. Whether or when the family will receive the verdict proceeds is still in question. Will there be an appeal?

Auto accidents due to distracted driving are becoming a troubling phenomenon. Many states have passed laws curtailing mobile phone use and texting while driving, but drivers continue to ignore the law and their own (and others') safety. If you are one of these, please think twice before using your mobile phone while behind the wheel of a moving vehicle. Pull over and stop your vehicle if you must use your phone. This case is a graphic example of what can result from distracted driving; one person is permanently disabled, brain damaged, unable to work; the other must live with the consequences of his actions and an arrest for reckless driving. Would you want to be either of these people?

The victim has a long journey to recovery with little hope that he will ever resume work or many of the activities he once performed. The case has resolved relatively quickly; if the resolution was paid by the insurance company and no appeals are planned, the financial devastation that usually results from these cases may be avoided.

Cases like this often drag on for years and the medical expenses and daily costs of living pile up while awaiting settlement or verdict. In these situations, the victims and their families can derive substantial financial relief from a lawsuit cash advance.

Pre-resolution litigation funding provides the cash you need; you do not have to repay the money unless or until you receive the proceeds of a settlement or verdict in the case. If you lose the case, you do not have to repay the money at all. This is legal finance with no risk to you or your credit standing. It is the easiest and fastest way to pay debts and stay afloat, financially, while waiting for your case to settle in court.

Once approved for what many call a "lawsuit loan", your pre-settlement funding proceeds will arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Lawsuit funding may make the difference between struggling financially and being out of debt. The call is free, the advice is priceless!

How do you determine whether you have a potential medical malpractice case? Medical malpractice consists of negligent conduct, acts of commission or omission, resulting in serious physical consequence. Obvious examples would be operations upon the wrong limb or one in which an operative tool was left in the patient's body. Or, we have this case, where a patient was admitted to the hospital with a subarachnoid hemorrhage, but, instead, had surgery to stent a blocked coronary artery. The result was severe brain damage and a need for around-the-clock care for the rest of her life.

Subarachnoid hemorrhage is a disorder involving bleeding between the middle membrane covering of the brain and the brain itself. How can a surgeon mistake a life-threatening brain disorder for a blocked artery to the heart? A medical malpractice lawsuit,filed after the incident, alleged that the doctor failed to diagnose the obvious hemorrhage and attenuating symptoms and, further, that he failed to perform any tests that would have assisted him in arriving at the correct diagnosis. After a long legal battle, the matter was decided by a jury, which found in favor of the plaintiff and awarded her $4,950,000.

Medical malpractice cases often take years to settle; these cases are quite contentious. As a result, a disabled victim is plunged into a financial abyss; he/she struggles to pay medical bills and other monthly expenses. Those who need help financially during a medical malpractice lawsuit may wish to consider lawsuit funding. It is an emergency lawsuit cash advance, designed to help the plaintiff financially – paying medical expenses, mortgage rent, car payments, funeral expenses while the plaintiff awaits a trial and/or settlement in the case.

Legal finance services help plaintiffs get through tough financial times; timely legal funding prevents litigants from being forced to accept inadequate offers from greedy insurance companies that delay proceedings and deny claims in an effort to get plaintiffs to settle for as little as possible. Applying for what many call a "lawsuit loan" requires a simple online application or toll free phone call. If the application is approved, your pre-settlement funding proceeds are in your hands within 24 - 48 hours.

The lawsuit dates back to 2002 when a man died in the hospital during a routine CT scan. Five days after undergoing gastric bypass surgery for weight loss, the man experienced difficulties breathing, so he was sent for a CT scan of his lungs. The man died during the scanning procedure. His family filed a lawsuit alleging that the nurse on duty failed to check the patient’s oxygen saturation levels even though the man told her he didn’t think he could breathe while lying flat for the procedure. Sadly, a $50 piece of equipment could have saved this man’s life; it could have saved a woman's husband and a 10-year-old boy's father.

Not surprisingly, the man's family filed a wrongful death, medical malpractice lawsuit. At trial, the plaintiffs' attorney argued that the man suffered a heart attack as a result of low oxygen levels; when he was told to lie flat, his organs shifted, causing even lower levels of oxygen to his heart. The defense argued that the patient verbally authorized the procedure and the test was performed “by the book.” The defense further argued that the death was a result of a reaction to the contract dye used for the MRI. The jury agreed with the plaintiffs' arguments and awarded the family $6.2 million. The hospital is expected to appeal the verdict.

Anytime someone loses a loved one, it is devastating both emotionally and mentally. It is often shattering financially, as well. The financial and emotional roller coaster of a lawsuit is equally as painful as the loss. An appeal results in further delay, further uncertainty, increased financial distress. This man’s family was obviously devastated by his sudden death; his loss may have caused a financial setback due to loss of wages, medical expenses, and funeral expenses. Litigation funding may have helped this family during the lawsuit and a potential appeal.
