Witnesses stated that the driver of a 1999 Ford Explorer hit a parked vehicle, then backed up and took off, fleeing the scene at a high rate of speed and with no headlights. Moments later, he veered across the highway and into oncoming traffic, hitting a 2002 Mercury Marquis head-on. The driver and two passengers in the Marquis were air-lifted to a local hospital with serious injuries.

Following the second accident, a Breathalyzer test showed the driver of the Explore had a blood-alcohol level of 0.96. He was also driving without a license and no proof of insurance. He has been charged with second-degree assault and recklessly causing serious physical injury to another person by means of a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument (vehicle).

In cases like this, lawsuits are, typically, the way to compensate the victims and punish the perpetrator. Most likely, the victims will contact a personal injury attorney to discuss their rights. The victims may be faced with significant medical bills and possibly therapy depending on the extent and duration of their injuries.

Cases like this have a tendency to take a long time to resolve and the additional expenses of injury as well as the disruption of work life can take a substantial financial toll. Thus, the injured parties may wish to investigate the possibility of obtaining a lawsuit cash advance from an experienced provider of lawsuit funding services. While waiting for their attorneys to obtain justice, litigation funding would allow them to pay their medical bills and other important expenses. Legal finance services can be a life preserver in desperate financial times; and legal funding is easy to apply for either online or by phone. If a plaintiff qualifies for pre-settlement funding, cash can often be place in an applicant's hands in as little as 24 hours. Lawsuit funding can give you the financial support needed as you and your attorney seek the compensation you deserve.

Accidents happen. Unfortunately, there is no way to get around them, but reducing the number and severity of accidents should be the number one goal. Carelessness and inattention are major factors in auto accidents; distracted driving consistently being one of the most serious issues. Here are a few examples of serious and fatal accidents over a one month period in North Carolina.

Last month, five teens were involved in a serious auto accident. The driver crossed the center line and ran off the road, leaving one passenger dead and two seriously injured. The cause of the accident – an impaired driver. A day later, police responded to a single roll-over auto accident involving three teenagers who were injured when the driver lost control of their SUV. A police investigation revealed that the driver was was driving at excessive speed; 65 mph in a 35 mph zone. One teen was not wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the vehicle. A week later, a college student fell asleep at the wheel, lost control of her vehicle, and hit a tree killing two sorority sisters. Two weeks ago, a fatal auto accident took the life of one teen. The cause of the accident – texting while driving.

North Carolina is not the only state facing numerous serious and fatal teen auto accidents. These concerns are not about teen drivers being inexperienced, as much as they are about distractions, impaired driving, speeding, and driving while fatigued. Although studies have shown that teens are the most likely to be distracted while driving, these concerns do no only apply to teens. A driver usually does not intend to harm anyone when he/she becomes distracted or impaired behind the wheel. Unfortunately, this seemingly innocent habit can be deadly. These tragedies are a reminder to us all to practice safe driving, not only for our sake, but for the sake of our fellow drivers on the road.

It is always difficult to hear about the loss of a loved one due to an auto accident. The last thing you want to deal with during the pain and grief is the legal and financial issues. A wrongful death attorney can help you recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages – present and future, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering.

Worried about paying bills and meeting other financial obligations? Lawsuit funding is a valuable service that offers a better solution than settling your valuable personal injury lawsuit for less than it is worth. Lawsuit Financial can assist you with lawsuit funding, a service that will provide you with financial assistance in advance of an expected settlement or verdict in your case. This legal finance service provides you the cash you need now, removes the financial pressure to settle too early for too little compensation, and allows you to continue with the litigation so you receive the compensation and justice you deserve. Applying for pre-settlement funding is easy just a click of the mouse or a phone call away.

You were seriously injured in an auto accident and are now unable to work, have no other source of income, and no savings built up. You have a pending lawsuit, but that may take months, even years to settle. Costly medical treatment has left you financially devastated. The deep-pocket insurance company made a low-ball offer and is dragging its feet, forcing you deeper and deeper in debt. The company is hoping you will exhaust your limited disposable income, which, in turn, will force you to settle the case, too soon for too little. You try to wait out the legal process, but financial pressures keep building; you have medical bills, mortgage payments, car payments, and other monthly bills. You don't qualify for a bank loan and an absolute obligation to repay scares you because you might lose the case. So, you must settle you case for the inadequate offer, right? Wrong!

Lawsuit funding, a non-recourse lawsuit cash advance against a pending lawsuit, is an available option. Pre-settlement funding can be applied for and received months, even years, before your case is resolved. With lawsuit funding, a plaintiff receives a lawsuit cash advance on his/her projected settlement to help with financial issues – mortgage payments, car payments, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and monthly bills – as the case proceeds. Qualification for this type of funding is based solely on the merits of the lawsuit. A reputable company charges no upfront fees and no monthly payments; there are no credit checks or employment verifications. Best of all, if the plaintiff loses his/her case the lawsuit funding company relinquishes the cash advance; the plaintiff owes nothing. Lawsuit funding provides the plaintiff with immediate cash so his/her attorney has time to negotiate a fair settlement. There is no reason to settle for less than what your lawsuit case is worth; lawsuit funding is truly a risk-free option.

If you are embroiled in litigation and struggling with your finances, a lawsuit cash advance may be the perfect solution. It can mean the difference between settling cheap, giving up and/or losing your case—or hanging in there and receiving the settlement you deserve. Don’t put yourself at a disadvantage because of financial obligations. Call Lawsuit Financial or visit us online for a free, no obligation consultation.

He was a patient who expected that his doctors would perform their jobs with the utmost of their abilities. However, as a result of their alleged negligence the man bled to death following ulcer surgery. Last month, an Alabama jury awarded the family $3 million in a wrongful death lawsuit. The defense said, “jury's decision is one with which we disagree, and we are disappointed in their verdict.” An appeal is expected.

The family alleged that the man bled to death due to negligent care during his hospital stay and failure to provide the proper follow-up care after the man was released from the hospital. The suit claimed negli¬gent and improper surgery and medical care by the hospital and doctors. The defense argued at trial that anemia, alcohol use, and the use of over-the-counter medication were contributing factors to the man’s death. The defendants also claimed that his ulcer was unusually large and could not be treated with standard surgical procedures.

Medical Malpractice is a serious issue and a leading cause of wrongful death. While no amount of money can replace the loss of a family member, filing a wrongful death lawsuit for medical malpractice is a way for family members to relieve some of the financial burden and move on with their life. Wrongful death lawsuits are difficult to pursue, and many victims never receive the compensation they deserve. It is important to talk to an experienced medical malpractice attorney to ensure your case has the best possible chance at success. The attorney will need to prove that the doctors and nurses were negligent with regards to their care of the patient.

Negligence puts all of us at risk. It could be a distracted or drunk driver, defective product, or inferior safety standards. Sometimes such negligence can be devastating resulting in serious, long-term, or life-threatening injuries, and even death. The injured may require on-going medical treatment and be unable to work. If the negligence resulted in death, the deceased may have been the bread winner. Unfortunately, the financial obligations – monthly bills, mortgage, rent, medical expenses, and funeral expenses – must still be paid, even if you have filed a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

The Florida man was killed while working on a truck to repair a traffic light. The driver of a Jacksonville Transportation Authority (JTA) struck the truck knocking the man out of the truck bucket and 20 feet to the ground. The truck was propelled across three lanes of traffic. According to the police report, the bus driver never slowed down, despite flashing lights, orange cones, and a flagman. The bus driver claims he did not see the flagman or the traffic engineering truck in the intersection. The man worked for the city as a signal traffic repairer, making $29,300 a year at the time of his death.

JTA agreed to pay the victims’ family over $1 million in compensation. Unfortunately, there is a catch - the Florida Legislature has to approve it because the state has a $200,000 statutory cap on damages. Senator Tony Hill (D) filed a bill that would allow the family to collect the compensation beyond the cap.

Punitive damages should not be capped. They exist to remind companies and corporations that their actions have consequences. The sudden and unexpected death of a love one is a devastating event that can never be erased with monetary compensation. Senator Hill believes the bill will be passed and this family can move on with their lives. I hope he is right. The victim’s wife said she would prefer to have her husband back, but the money would help relieve some of the financial and emotional strain that has been put on her and her children. It will help put her two children through college.

Lawsuit Financial funding may have been a solution to help this grief-stricken family alleviate stress both financially and emotionally after the wrongful death of their loved one.

Two fatal auto accidents that occurred less than two weeks apart happened on the same 59th Street Bridge exit ramp, in the exact same spot, at the same time of day, crashing into the exact two storefronts. Both vehicles were even the same make – a Volkswagen. Both drivers were speeding.

In the first accident, the motorist failed to make a sharp right turn and careened off the exit ramp striking a pedestrian. The pedestrian died from serious head injuries; the driver severed his arm. In the second accident, the driver also lost his arm.

The eeriness of these similar accidents has many questioning the sharp turn at the end of this exit ramp. Three off-ramps running side by side, deposited vehicles from the bridge onto a road that runs parallel to the bridge. In January, one of those lanes was blocked by concrete barriers as par t of reconfiguring the road to increase pedestrian safety. The barrier forces drivers to navigate a much sharper angle while merging into traffic. Area business owners say the renovation has caused unintentional chaos because now the ramp is much harder for drivers to see. They also say that the sharper angle seems to direct cars closer than usual to their stores.

In early March, the DOT installed orange traffic barrels in the center of the intersection to help divert the merging traffic into separate lanes. Following these two fatalities, they have added signs at the bridge exit ramps to remind drivers of the 30 mile per hour speed limit. The city also plans to install rumble strips along the off-ramp. The DOT said they are making safety a priority. Motorists can help by slowing down and applying extra caution in construction zones.

You may have read about a horrific Colorado auto accident on February 23 when a tow truck driver was dragged to his death by the owner of the SUV he was attempting to tow. This father-of-two received a call to tow an illegally parked SUV. In the middle of hooking a tow cable to the vehicle, the woman who owned it jumped in and drove away. The man’s leg became tangled in the metal tow cable, and eventually was torn from his torso. Both legs were ultimately severed. Horrified motorists flashed their lights and honked their horns, but the woman ignored them. The man was screaming as his body scraped along the road. Police found a bloody trail and tattered clothing along the mile long stretch of road. The woman even failed to stop after the man was freed from her vehicle. He died in the hospital from multiple injuries and “blunt force trauma.” The woman claims she did not know she was dragging the man.

The tow truck driver has been laid to rest, but his family is faced with a difficult time trying to cope with their loss. His wife has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that the woman was negligent and careless because she knew her vehicle was being towed and that she was dragging the man. The plaintiff claims that she is faced with medical bills, funeral expenses, and her family has lost earnings and earning capacity as a result of her husband’s wrongful death. This is not an uncommon scenario. Cases like this are incredibly difficult physically, emotionally, and financially. Often, the family is thrown into economic chaos and faces a highly uncertain financial future. A wrongful death lawsuit is about recovering the deceased’s economic potential that was cut short due to the negligence of someone else. Unfortunately, in many cases a wrongful death lawsuit can take years to settle. Insurance companies may push to settle for an amount far less than the case value. Plaintiffs may be feeling the financial pressures and have no where to turn for support. What can they do?

Lawsuit funding is an easy way to alleviate the financial stress associated with a wrongful death. Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance against a pending lawsuit. It is often recommended in wrongful death lawsuits so the family of the deceased can pursue what fair compensation and justice. Repayment of this lawsuit cash advance is based upon the outcome of your case; if you lose, you do not need to repay the cash advance. Applying for litigation funding requires no upfront costs, employment history, or credit check. Once approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. It really is that easy.

A former high school football player has sued a western Pennsylvania school district over concussions sustained during games in 2007. The suit states that the 19-year-old struggles with memory problems, nausea and other issues as a result of three concussions he sustained during the 2007 football season. The last head trauma left him clearly disoriented and walking aimlessly on the sidelines, yet the coaching staff sent him back into games without being properly checked out. It wasn’t until teammates alerted his mother to take him to the hospital that the injured player was diagnosed with a traumatic brain injury.

After sustaining a series of traumatic brain injuries, the teen attempted to return to school, but was unable to concentrate on his studies. According to the lawsuit, he and his family made numerous requests to the school district for accommodating his needs, but all were disregarded. They allege that the school failed to provide an appropriate education, glossing over any academic and attendance issues offering to simply pass the student through graduation.

The lawsuit also contends that the coach and trainer failed to protect the player by allowing him to be repeatedly injured during the game, leading to his permanent injuries and learning disabilities, the player’s mom was never told of the first two concussions, and he was not kept out of the game even though teammates expressed concerns.

The Centers for Disease Control report that between 1.6 and 3 million people suffer from sports-related concussions in the U.S. each year. Concussions can be difficult to detect; there are no outward signs, and symptoms are not always immediate after the injury. It is not uncommon for a player to take a blow to the head and experience no symptoms; the player will not, necessarily, lose consciousness. If a concussion goes undiagnosed, it may increase the risk of re-injury and, ultimately, lead to chronic changes in the brain. Athletes who return to their sport before they fully recover from a head injury are at a greater risk because the prior injury leaves the brain vulnerable to repeated injury, concussions and at increased risk for memory loss, cognitive problems, and chronic headaches. Preventing long-term consequences of concussions requires education. It is critical that coaches, trainers, parents, and athletes be equipped with the right knowledge to recognize the signs and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury and be trained to act appropriately and quickly when a concussion occurs.

This young man’s life has obviously been turned upside down. He may never be able to achieve the education he should or fulfill career and life-long dreams he once had; all this due to the negligence of his high school coach and trainer.

The lawsuit may take a long time to wind through the legal process. While waiting for the case to travel through the legal system toward resolution, pre-settlement funding may be available to help cover medical and care expenses, urgent financial issues and other necessities of life funding. Applying for legal funding is often the perfect solution for plaintiffs who are in financial need as a result of serious injuries caused by no fault of their own. Once the lawsuit cash advance is approved, funds are in your account within 24 - 48 hours. Best of all, with Lawsuit Financial, there are no upfront fees, no monthly payments, and you do not pay us back unless you win your case.

Two women died when their vehicle collided with a semi-truck on Interstate 70 in Ohio. The truck driver suffered minor injuries. The women were traveling west when witnesses say their vehicle crossed the median and crashed head-on into the semi truck. The cause of this fatal accident is still under investigation, but Ohio police believe that the female driver was either fatigued or suffered a medical issue causing the accident. Since these women were from Indiana, it is quite possible that they had been traveling for some time.
Tiredness and fatigue can often affect one’s driving long before it is noticeable. Fatigue related accidents are often more serious because reaction times are delayed or the driver fails to react at all. When a tractor trailer is involved, the results are quite often more serious or fatal due to the weight and size of the truck. Although this accident does not appear to be the fault of the truck driver, this case may likely illustrate just how powerful and extensive an auto accident can be especially if fatigue is a factor.

Fatigue and driving is a very dangerous combination, especially at night or on long road trips. Driver fatigue can cause a driver to fall asleep at the wheel or make serious, even fatal, driving errors. A study by National Central University in Jhongli, Tatung University, Taiwan; recently reported at New Scientist magazine that "driving for just 80 minutes without a break can make motorists a danger on the roads". They found that drivers who do not take frequent rest stops have slower reactions than those who break up long journeys. People run a higher risk of succumbing to driver fatigue between 2am and 6am and during what is known as the "2pm slump". Studies show the number of accidents increase according to the time of day and the number of hours driven.

Lawsuit Financial Corporation helps provide legal finance cash flow solutions and consulting when necessities of life litigation funding is needed by plaintiffs involved in pending, personal injury litigation. As the industry leader in auto accident lawsuit funding, Lawsuit Financial has seen first hand, the devastating results of an accident due to driver fatigue. We urge everyone to be mindful of fatigue and not drive. Eliminating this risk will go a long way to preventing serious and fatal auto accidents.

A woman and her three grandchildren were seriously injured and her husband killed when the driver of a Hyundai slammed into their Mazda minivan. The woman driving the Hyundai exited an off-ramp of the highway at an estimated speed of 50 mph, made an unsafe turn, and struck the median and collided with the Mazda causing it to overturn.

A lawsuit was recently filed alleging that the driver of the Hyundai was negligent in the operation of her vehicle, primarily failing to drive at a reasonable speed when she attempted a right. She was also driving in excess of the posted speed limit. The lawsuit seeks damages for wrongful death, past and future pain and suffering, disability, emotional and mental stress and worry, medical expenses, and other care for the personal injuries sustained by the injured victims.

Speeding has just become a part of driving for motorists. Some drivers see to think that the speed limits are merely suggestions; they don’t think twice about driving 5 – 15 mph above the posted speed limit. As in this case, a speeding driver may not have time to a react suddenly, causing a serious or fatal accident. Speeding not only increases the likelihood of an accident, it usually results in more serious injuries.

Thousands of people are injured every year in accidents that involve a speeding driver. If you were injured or someone you loved died in an auto accident due to a speeding driver, you may be able to file a lawsuit against the negligent driver. Auto accident attorneys commit to fight on your behalf to bring the offending driver to justice. Sometimes the physical, emotional, and financial hardship can be overwhelming. You may be faced with mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, emotional trauma, car repairs, and pain and suffering. You do not have to face this burden alone. Lawsuit Financial is dedicated to helping plaintiffs fight for fair compensation and justice by offering a non-recourse cash advance against your pending lawsuit. Lawsuit funding can give you the financial support needed as you and your attorney seek the compensation you deserve.

Today, I read an article about an under-aged drinking party in which fifty-two people were arrested. Forty-six were under twenty-one; two were young high school teens. A few things were interesting about this article. Police were called to the party by neighbors complaining that several vehicles were parked the wrong way on the street and blocking fire hydrants. Once police arrived, they discovered it was a “Business Hoes and CEOs” party with large quantities of alcohol and marijuana. Now I am familiar with “themed” parties, but this is a new one to me. If like me, you are new to this concept, at a “Business Hoes and CEOs” party the guys dress up in nice business attire while the ladies get decked out in slightly, risqué clothing – they are to look classy, but still show some skin. These parties have been popular for the college students, but have recently been attended by many high school students.

This article was especially alarming because it involved students from the same school district as a 17-year-old girl who drowned while attending an underage drinking party in 2008. She was one of a group of teens who were apparently party-hopping after their high school won the homecoming football game. The teen was found face down in a swamp. A wrongful death lawsuit in the girl’s drowning was recently settled. The Business Hoes and CEOs party was held just blocks away from the girl’s home.

Unfortunately, underage drinking is not limited to this Boston suburb; it is a nationwide problem that often results in tragic consequences. The school year will soon be coming to an end, but before that many seniors will be excitedly preparing for prom and graduation. Although a time to celebrate, statistics show that the months of April – June are the most dangerous for teens. One-third of alcohol-related auto fatalities involving teens each year happen during these months. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, alcohol-related accidents spike during April, May and June, the peak months for proms and graduations. Students against Drunk Driving (SADD) reports automobile accidents are the leading cause of death among teens, and approximately 36 percent of auto fatalities among 15-20 year-olds are alcohol-related.

While it is obvious that kids under 21-years-old are drinking, it doesn’t mean that parents should stop the lines of communication. Let them know that bad decisions have consequences. Research shows regular communication between parents and teens has a positive influence on teen decision making. Don’t let your child be a sobering statistic. Together we hope to raise awareness about the risks, dangers, and consequences of underage drinking.
