The accident occurred in three years ago. It took the life of a teen that had just finished taking his high school placement test. The cause of the accident - a young woman who had consumed 10 beers in five hours, then got behind the wheel of her vehicle. Evidence showed she had a blood alcohol concentration of .249 percent two hours after the accident, which is three times the .08 legal limit.

The family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the woman, the restaurant which served her, and the city of Tuscon alleging that had city engineers not abandoned plans to add five feet of asphalt to the roadway, the accident never would have happened. The jury found the defendant 34% liable, the city 33% liable and the restaurant who had served her alcohol 33% liable. Although the jury awarded in favor of the plaintiff, the family said that the judgment will never compensate them for the loss of their son.

Two years ago, a 23-year-old man was working as a foreman assembling a grain bin on a farm when he was electrocuted. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) later determined that the flexible cord the man was using has been improperly wired and that he had been assembling the grain bin on a damaged ladder and had not been properly trained in the ladder’s use. OSHA says that three company violations played a role in the man’s death.

A workplace injury lawsuit was on behalf of the victim’s young son. The lawsuit accuses the defendants of failing to provide proper electrical safety testing, failing to inspect all electrical cords and components, and failing to provide a safe place for workers.

Representatives of the estate say that that the damages they are seeking are “for the exclusive benefit of the child.” The lawsuit seeks an unspecified amount compensation for loss of services, comfort, companionship and financial support for the child. It states that “negligence on the part of the defendants directly and proximately caused the electrocution and death of the foreman.” The defendants have denied all allegations of negligence, as well as having any responsibility or role in the matter. This accident was preventable. Employers need to be proactive in addressing safety issues to ensure their workplaces are safe and healthful.

Suddenly losing a family member is horrific. Often families are left in dire financial straits as a result. It has already been two years. Most likely, this case will take a long time to wind through a complex court system. The long, hard battle to reach justice may be placing a financial burden on a victim’s family. They need to know that they do not have to settle for too little, too soon, that they can apply for a lawsuit cash advance against a potential jury verdict or settlement. Litigation funding relieves the anxiety of wondering how to make ends meet. Attorneys need time to process and pursue wrongful death litigation and a financially desperate plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations. There is no reason to suffer anymore than you already have. Let Lawsuit Financial help you through this tough time so you get the compensation that you deserve and know that justice was served.

A man was driving down the highway when all of a sudden a steel construction disc fell off the back of another truck. When the driver hit the disc, the impact caused him to loose control of his vehicle. He suffered a herniated cervical disc that required a laminectomy and fusion. As a result of this accident, he is unable to walk without assistance.

After speaking with a personal injury lawyer, the victim filed a lawsuit alleging that the truck driver was negligent in not properly securing his load. The plaintiff said his accident totally disabled him and caused him to go bankrupt; he owned a small business and he could no longer run it due to the extent of his injuries.

The victim would no doubt have had major medical bills. With the inability to work, he may have been strapped for cash. People in a situation like this may be a candidate for lawsuit funding. Litigation funding is a smart move and will allow a plaintiff to wait for the right settlement or verdict and not have to take an offer that may fall far short of what may be awarded in court.

A man’s artery was punctured during the placement of a stent, leaving him paralyzed and incontinent. Seven years later, his medical malpractice lawsuit was settled for $14 million. According to the suit, the man was suffering dizziness and slurred speech when he arrived at the emergency room. Doctors gave him aspirin and the anti-platelet medication, Plavix. His symptoms subsided, but he was still admitted overnight for observation. The next morning, he complained of short-term slurred speech and numbness in his right hand. A neuroradiologist recommended an immediate procedure to insert a stent into the artery. During the procedure, the neuroradiologist punctured the arterial wall. Because the patient was on a large dosage of blood thinner, blood flowed from the puncture, pooling around his brain. By the time doctors realized it, the bleeding had caused massive pressure damage to the brain stem and caustic damage to brain tissue. He spent two months in a coma. Now this optician and father of four, spends his days in a hospital bed and wheelchair in the home of his 76-year-old mother, who cares for him round-the-clock.

During the trial, the plaintiff said the surgery was not necessary and medication would have been sufficient. The defense argued that the man suffered from a rare brain injury unrelated to the surgery. After six hours, the jury found in favor of plaintiff.

The doctor told a local television station that the lawsuit was frivolous. He said that the plaintiff won because he hired a more expensive attorney than the doctor’s insurance company was willing to pay for. This has nothing to do with a frivolous lawsuit, but everything to do with seeking redress for this victim’s serious injuries and permanent disabilities. Hospitals and doctors must be held accountable for their mistakes. A lawsuit no only provides compensation to the injured party, but makes doctors more accountable, more careful in the future, and helps prevent such errors from reoccurring.

If you believe you or someone you love has been the victim of a medical error, you should contact a medical malpractice attorney. Additionally, if you or your family is going through the emotional and financial stress from a medical malpractice, lawsuit funding may be the answer to help you through the difficult times. Lawsuit funding helps plaintiffs who are struggling to make ends meet without sufficient funds to handle unexpected medical bills and ordinary living expenses. 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.

It was Halloween morning. A respiratory therapist at Oakwood Hospital in Wayne, Michigan was on his way to work. The man was stopped at a red traffic light when the drunk driver of a Chevrolet Silverado slammed into his Ford Focus at an estimated 70 – 80 miles per hour. There was no indication that the intoxicated driver attempted to slow down. The impact pushed the pick-up truck over the top of the Focus and into another vehicle before it swung back onto the Focus. The driver of the Focus was pronounced dead at the scene. The drunk driver had a blood alcohol level of 0.19; Michigan’s legal limit is .08.

The wife of the deceased man has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that the driver of the Silverado was negligent and reckless by driving under the influence, failing to maintain control of his vehicle and failing to operate at a reasonable speed. She is seeking compensation for mental anguish, funeral expenses, and for the loss of enjoyment in life activities.

It could take years for this lawsuit to reach a settlement.

The plaintiff in this case contended that a driver rear-ended her vehicle while she was stopped at a traffic light, pushing her vehicle into another car. She claims to have sustained two herniated cervical discs requiring surgery. The plaintiff’s orthopedic surgeon testified as to the herniated cervical disc and the need for surgery, as well as the fact that the plaintiff suffers from neck and shoulder injuries and will have limitation of motion. Furthermore, the plaintiff was forced to relinquish her position as a travel agency manager due to the ongoing pain and limited mobility in the neck, shoulder and upper extremities. At trial, the defense argued that the plaintiff abruptly stopped at a green light for no apparent reason. The jury found the fair of the plaintiff.

This case began in 2005. This woman needed ongoing medical care to improve her condition and reduce the pain. Without income, paying the bills was probably a struggle. She could have filed for a lawsuit cash advance; a service that would have paid for necessary medical treatment and daily expenses while waiting for compensation.

The day jury selection was scheduled to begin in a lawsuit against a bar an out of court settlement was reached. The lawsuit was the result of a July 2008 drunken boating accident that killed two people and injured two others.

The driver of the boat that caused the accident had a blood alcohol level of .19 at the time of the accident which is more that twice the legal limit. He collided with another boar shortly after leaving a lakeside bar. The lawsuit claimed bar employees continued to serve the man alcohol even though he was clearly intoxicated. Although the settlement was undisclosed, the state’s Dram Shop Act limits the damage award to $250,000 to be divided among all parties.

This is not the end for the families of the deceased or those seriously injured. Although the plaintiffs were on the same side during this out-or-court case, they are opposing parties in a much larger and more complex pending lawsuit against one of the estates. This case may be years before it reaches a settlement.

Damage recovery does not always require you to go to trial and receive a jury verdict. Settlement of your case will, almost always, result in "faster" money than waiting for or pursuing a case to trial. With that said, the recent settlement in this case still took over two years. The other lawsuit may be another two years, most likely more.

The financial pressure in the first case may have been a reason to reach a settlement out of court. Insurance companies and deep pocket defendants have all the time and all the money in the world. Injury victims or the family of a lost loved one, are often forced, by financial circumstances, to consider settlements too early and for too little. Lawsuit Financial provides lawsuit funding to take care of life's necessities (mortgage, rent, car payments, medical expenses, funeral expenses, etc) to reduce your financial pressure to settle too early and for too little. We try to buy you precious time to develop your case, your damages, and allow your attorney the time he needs to get the job done. If the case must go to trial to get you what you deserve, you need to have the financial staying power to pursue the case to trial.

A construction worker plummeted to the ground when the scaffold he was standing on collapsed. His injuries resulted in severe head trauma and permanent disability. His wife filed a personal injury lawsuit on his behalf alleging that a safety line was not provided. The defendant stated that the worker was negligent by not wearing a safety hat.

Traumatic brain injuries are commonly seen as a result of falls from high points, or after being struck on the head by a heavy object. In a severe traumatic brain injury like this one, the victim remains in a vegetative or a minimally responsive state. The victim requires round-the-clock care for life. Medical expenses will be large and long-term care costly. Worker's compensation cannot adequately compensate an injured worker for permanent losses and disability arising from a serious scaffold accident.

Although the plaintiff in this case was awarded $5,000,000, it was not easily won. Over the three year legal process, the family may have endured financial challenges to make ends meet. There are not only the day-to-day expenses, but mounting medical bills, long-term care, and the loss of wages.

In these situations, lawsuit funding may be available to help a family until a settlement or verdict is reached.

This medical malpractice lawsuit was the result of a patient suffering a spinal cord hematoma and paralysis. The patient developed a hematoma at the lumbar puncture site, which compressed his spinal cord, causing paralysis. He underwent an emergency surgery, but to no avail. The man is paralyzed from the waist down. He developed decubitus ulcers, urinary tract infections, pneumonia and osteomyelitis; he is in constant pain. Due to his debilitation, the man cannot return to work. The lawsuit alleged that the hematoma and paralysis resulted from the doctor’s negligence for prescribing aspirin and failing to discontinue anticoagulants before the spinal tap. The jury found in favor of the plaintiff for $22.5 million, but due to settlement credits and award caps under Texas law, the plaintiff recovered $10.9 million.

This is just another case of re-victimizing the victim. Tort reform advocates applaud this decision, but will they if they are the victims? In an attempt to prevent occasional unjust jury rulings, some tort reform advocates ensure perpetual injustice by giving politicians the power to “cap” justice. It is time to stop this nonsense and put our trust in the judicial system? It is time to stop punishing the victims of medical error rather than the perpetrators. The system will not repair itself by punishing the victim a second time. We need to stop blaming the victims. Do you know who really pays and who profits from tort reform? I will give you a hint – the taxpayers pay!

A woman and her toddler were boarding a Chicago train when the train doors closed on the stroller in which her daughter was sitting. The train dragged the stroller and flung her daughter off the station platform.

The incident occurred on the platform at a Chicago train station in November 2009. The train’s doors shut, trapping the stroller and dragging it along with the toddler approximately ten feet past the platform. The little girl landed on the gravel after being thrown from the stroller. The mother claims that she and her child sustained serious injuries, including injuries to her shoulder and other parts of her body that she incurred while trying to rescue her daughter from the moving train.

The woman filed a lawsuit alleging that the driver failed to ensure all passengers had boarded the train before moving away from the station. The lawsuit further stated that the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) failed to have a system in place that would prohibit the train from moving if a passenger was stuck in the doorway. Union officials questioned whether the door sensors failed because they should have prevented the train from moving if the doors weren't fully closed, but it was later discovered that they were operating properly. The woman has sued an unspecified amount of damages.

A verdict or settlement in this case is likely to be a long process. In the meanwhile, the plaintiff must continue pay the medical bills associated with the accident and may be suffering from lost wages. This plaintiff or others in similar circumstances may wish to look into lawsuit funding. If eligible for litigation funding, plaintiffs are not only able to pay immediate bills and expenses, but can cover future expenses until their case is settled or resolved by verdict or judgment.

A lawsuit cash advance is an advance on the expected settlement amount that allows plaintiffs to wait for a fair and equitable verdict, rather than have to settle for less than full value. Often, cash-strapped plaintiffs in situations like this, decide to take the first offer that comes along. Doing that almost always means accepting far less than full case value or what they might get from a judge or jury. This is why lawsuit funding is often a solid strategic move for plaintiffs and plaintiffs' attorneys. A lawsuit cash advance is well worth investigating to give a financially-strapped plaintiff peace of mind.

A woman has filed a dental malpractice lawsuit alleging a file separation occurred during a root canal, causing her extreme pain. The botched root canal took place in November 2007, but not until recently did the woman discover that the pain she was experiencing since the surgery was due to the file separation.

The suit states that the dentist failed to advise the patient that the file had separated and remained lodged in her root canal. This negligence caused the area to become infected and the patient has been in continuous pain since the surgery. After complaining of extreme and continuous pain, the woman was referred to a specialist who said the file could not be removed. The only option was to have the tooth extracted. As a result, the patient needed subsequent dental treatment, has incurred unnecessary medical expenses and has suffered from loss wages. The lawsuit also claims that the dentist failed to provide proper care and ongoing treatment.

When a patient goes to dentist, he/she entrusts the health of his/her teeth to a professional dentist. If that dentist breaches this trust through negligent care, the patient has the right to seek compensation for damages. Paying bills while waiting for a fair settlement can be a difficult time for a patient.

Recent statistics released by the NHTSA confirm that Florida is the deadliest state for bicycle accidents; nearly one in five of all accidents in the US. In most states, bicyclists are eagerly awaiting spring to begin riding once again. In Florida, the winter months actually bring an increase in cyclists due to tourists and winter residents that join the locals. The growing popularity of bicycles has led to an increase in bicycle accidents, many fatal. A recent bicycle accident fatality in Vero Beach is still under investigation.

As the 21-year-old cyclist waited at a red traffic light, a tour bus driver rammed into him. The young cyclist was pronounced dead at the scene; the bus driver was examined at the hospital and released. No passengers were on the bus at the time of the accident. At this point, it is unknown why “the bus driver left the right shoulder of the road's edge, passed several vehicles and hit the bicyclist,” according to police. Speculations include the driver suffering a medical condition or a mechanical failure of the bus.

A cyclist injured in a bicycle accident might want to file a claim against the driver. An experienced attorney will investigate the facts of your case to help determine who was negligent. Bicyclists injured in an accident with a motor vehicle are, almost always seriously or fatally injured. In litigation, an innocent bicyclist may recover damages for medical and funeral expenses, loss wages, loss of companionship, pain and suffering, loss of financial support, and mental anguish. A personal injury attorney who specializes in auto/truck bicycle accidents will guide you through the difficult legal process; if you do not have a lawyer, the Lawsuit Financial Attorney Referral Program will locate a specialist for you within 24 hours of your request.
