A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against Jefferson County and its former nursing home claiming staff failed to provide proper treatment and care that ultimately resulted in a patient's death from septic shock.

The victim’s daughters claim the nursing home staff failed to detect a severe abdominal infection that ruptured when their mother fell at the facility. The lawsuit contends the patient was not taken to a hospital for three days, even though signs of the infection were apparent and the woman was complaining of abdominal pain. She remained hospitalized until she died a month later.

Anytime someone loses a loved one, it is devastating both emotionally and mentally. It may be shattering financially, as well. The financial and emotional roller coaster of a lawsuit is equally as painful as the loss. If you or a loved one suffered physical or emotional injuries because a nursing home was negligent or failed to fulfill its care obligations to you and your family, you may have grounds for a nursing home negligence case.

A chain reaction auto accident left several injured and one teen fighting for her life when the driver of a semi-tractor trailer failed to slow down as he approached traffic back-up. The truck fishtailed and slammed into an SUV sending the SUV into an embankment. Twelve vehicles were involved in the accident.

It is unclear what caused the driver of the semi-truck to fail to break in time to avoid the accident. Was it a mechanical error, driver distraction, or other driver negligence such as driving under the influence? Further investigations will take place, including examining the driver’s cell phone records, GPS system, and the truck’s black box.

The injured victims and the family of the deceased should contact a personal injury attorney to discuss their litigation options and rights in this case. The nature and extent of the injuries is critical in determining what kind of damages may be sought in court. For instance, a catastrophic injury such as a crushed spinal cord could mean the victim might never walk again. This typically results in a higher damage award than a broken leg with a defined healing period.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured in an auto accident, consult an attorney to protect your legal rights. It is extremely frustrating to negotiate with an insurance company that will attempt to convince you to settle for less than what your case may actually be worth.

Four lives were taken last week when a medical copter took a nosedive into the ground. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigation is focusing on the aircraft’s fuel level; federal aviation officials said the pilot indicated he wanted to stop for fuel at the Midwest National Air Center. Investigators also believe the pilot was low on altitude as well which caused him to nosedive rather than landing safely.

A preliminary report states that the pilot overestimated his fuel level before the aircraft crashed into a field. The pilot reported he had two hours of fuel in the tank when he took off. However after 28 minutes, he told flight dispatchers that he didn’t have as much fuel as he thought. He opted to stop at the Midwest National Air Center to refuel, but the helicopter crashed when it lost power. The NTSB’s final report may not be completed for about a year.

The husband of a patient killed in the accident has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming the operator took unnecessary risks by running with low fuel.

Most plaintiffs involved in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit struggle financially to make ends meet. Many have missed work or lost their job and can no longer meet their regular household expenses. On top of the already mounting bills may be medical and/or funeral expenses. Sustaining a lawsuit for years is almost out of the question because insurance companies and big corporations have deep-pockets to deny, delay, and defend. In order to level the playing field, a plaintiff needs to “buy” time.

Litigation funding helps plaintiffs get relief from financial pressure so he/she does not have to settle early. Here are answers to the most typical questions from plaintiffs regarding lawsuit funding.

Who is eligible for lawsuit funding?
If you are a plaintiff, involved in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit resulting from an auto accident, medical malpractice, slip and fall, traumatic brain injury, workers compensation (not in all states), etc.; and if you are represented by an attorney, you may be eligible for a lawsuit cash advance on your pending settlement.

How will a lawsuit cash advance help my case?
Insurance companies and big businesses love to play the waiting game. Their goal is to deny, delay, and defend in hopes that the plaintiff will accept a less than fair settlement. If a plaintiff needs cash now to pay the mortgage, medical expenses, etc., he/she may consider the low-ball offer. Lawsuit Financials’ funding service is designed to make you more money. The idea is to assist the plaintiff with their expenses so the attorney and plaintiff can wait out the long process of settlement, and not be taken advantage of by the insurance companies unlimited stall tactics.

Do I need to be employed and have a good credit history?
No. Employment history and good credit is not a factor with Lawsuit Financial. Our pre-settlement funding is based solely on the merit of your case.

What are the up-front fees and monthly payments?
With Lawsuit Financial there are NO application fees, processing fees, or monthly payments. The only payment you make is if, and when, you settle your case. If you lose the case, you do not repay the advance. Do not use funding companies that require upfront fees and/or monthly payments.

Why not just get a bank loan?
Traditionally, banks and finance companies do not provide loans solely on the merits of a lawsuit; they deem it too risky. If you qualify for a bank loam, you must put up valuable assets. If you lose your case, you lose the assets. With Lawsuit Financial, the money is forgiven; you pay nothing back.

Is it a lawsuit “loan”?
No, litigation funding is not a “lawsuit loan”. It is a non-recourse cash advance on the future value of your case. Unlike a loan, if you lose your case you owe nothing, not even the cash advance. Lawsuit Financial takes all the risk.

How long will it take to receive funds?
The first step is to complete and submit an application online or via phone. If approved, the money can be provided within 24 – 48 hours.

How is the lawsuit cash advance paid back?
The lawsuit funding is repaid from the settlement of your case at the same time the proceeds of the claim are paid to you, the plaintiff.

Can I use the money for anything I want?
Yes, but it is recommended that the funds be used only to pay necessary expenses, such as medical bills, mortgage payments, car payments, education expenses, and other important bills that can’t wait.

How much money can I borrow?
There is no limit to a cash advance with Lawsuit Financial; it is based strictly on the circumstances of your case.

What if I need more money later?
Lawsuit Financial may be able to advance you more money, but approval is contingent on the strength of your case.

Will I have to sign a contract? What about my attorney?
Yes. If approved, you will need to sign an agreement; your attorney will need to acknowledge the agreement. This obligates you to repay the cash advance only if you win or settle your case.

Will the litigation finance company be an active participant in my case?
No, the funding company has no role in the pursuit of your case. Their only involvement is to review the case and determine its chances of success.

Lawsuit funding empowers plaintiffs; there is no reason to settle for less than case value. If you have questions that were not addressed or would like to apply for litigation funding, contact Lawsuit Financial online or by phone. Our experienced consultants will be happy to assist you.
