Litigation funding, a non-recourse cash advance, can help you pay the onslaught of bills and stay financially afloat during a pending lawsuit.

It took five long years to settle a medical malpractice lawsuit resulting from a child being deprived of oxygen at birth. Medical negligence left the child with a severe permanent brain injury. Sadly, she only lived for a short time before succumbing to her fatal brain injury. The lawsuit revealed that not only did the nursing staff fail to adequately monitor the fetal heart strips and did not notice that the baby was in distress, needing immediate emergency medical intervention, but the nurse was in training and not adequately supervised.

Moving forward with this case must have been a very emotional and financially draining decision. Thousands of dollars to pay for medical expenses and counseling, coupled with day to day bills are difficult to consider when you’ve just lost your newborn child. Hopes, dreams and expectations are shattered by this significant loss.

This case is the reality of most lawsuit; they take a very long time to reach a verdict or settlement during which time plaintiffs will often face significant debt. In many instances, big businesses and insurance companies will deny, delay, and defend as long as possible in an attempt to get the plaintiff to settle too soon, for too little.

Litigation funding is often the answer to handle unexpected medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and ordinary living expenses while awaiting a final settlement. It allows plaintiffs to get relief from financial pressure and avoid settling simply due to the need for cash.

If you have been plaintiff in a personal injury case, you may know how difficult it can be to pay the bills. If your ability to work is hindered by injuries, you may have found yourself unable to support your family. Did you know there is a service called pre-settlement funding that can help you in your financial time of need?

There are many instances of personal injury that happen every day. It could be the result of an auto accident, medical malpractice, slip and fall, dangerous or defective product. Seriously injured victims will file a lawsuit to seek justice as well as compensation to help pay for damages caused by negligence or a wrongful act. Unfortunately, a personal injury claim can take years to settle. For this reason, many plaintiffs avoid pursuing justice because they feel that they simply do not have the resources to fight against an insurance company.

Pre-settlement funding, a non-recourse cash advance provided to cash-strapped plaintiffs in a pending claim can help plaintiffs pay everyday necessities while their case works its way through the courts. For plaintiffs who are out of work due to their injuries, a lawsuit advance may be the only way to “buy” the time needed for a fair settlement offer.

Pre-settlement funding is based solely on the strength of a case, not on the credit strength of a plaintiff. When a plaintiff enters into a contract with a funding company, he/she promises to repay the advance from the proceeds of the settlement. If the plaintiff loses, the repayment is completely waived. Unlike a “loan”, there are no upfront fees or monthly payments, and the funding company does not evaluate an applicant’s credit worthiness or employment history.

Pre-settlement funding essentially frees plaintiffs from the financial worries that a lawsuit can cause, so he/she can fight the largely funded insurance company.

When a plaintiff is suffering financially and the litigation process is dragging on, lawsuit funding can remove some of the burden. Lawsuit funding (sometimes referred to as a “lawsuit loan”) is a non-recourse cash advance (not a loan) against a pending settlement. With lawsuit funding, a plaintiff is not only able to pay the bills, but avoid accepting a low settlement offer.

At Lawsuit Financial, we understand the stress associated with falling behind in the mortgage, car payments, utility bills, and simply putting food on the table. Our experienced staff can answer all your funding questions and usually provide a cash advance within 24 – 48 hours. Your past financial status does not affect your ability to obtain a cash advance. It doesn’t matter if you have bad credit or are unemployed. Because lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, plaintiffs will only repay the advance once the case successfully settles. If our client loses, the repayment is waived in its entirety including the advance.

If you are struggling to pay the bills and living expenses, do not hesitate to apply for lawsuit funding. The application process is quick via our website or by calling our office.

No one is every prepared for an accident, but when it happens, often times victims are faced with mounting bills especially if the injuries resulted in being out of work. Unfortunately, in cases like this, banks typically will not provide a loan. Even if they did, how would an already cash-strapped plaintiff pay the monthly payments? Insurance companies use every tactic in the book to persuade innocent victims to settle for less than they deserve. These insurers will de-value claims or use delay tactics in an effort force plaintiffs to accept inadequate settlement offers. At Lawsuit Financial we can do what banks can’t.

If an innocent victim has filed a lawsuit and has a valid claim, Lawsuit Financial may be able to provide a non-recourse cash advance to help pay the bills while waiting for case resolution. This means plaintiffs can wait for a fair settlement or award rather than accepting a low offer due to financial constraints. Here is one testimony that was recently received in our office.

I can’t thank you enough for what you did to help me get through the rough times until my case settled. With the cash advance against my lawsuit, I was able to put food on the table, keep a roof over my family’s head, and pay my medical bills. Removing the financial pressures helped me heal physically and emotionally while waiting for a fair settlement. Thanks for everything. ~ James B

Reaching a settlement in a personal injury lawsuit often takes years, and more often than not, leaving plaintiffs are unable to meet their financial obligations. Even paying for life necessities – food, shelter, utility bills – can become too much to bear, especially if the plaintiff is unable to work. Defendants’ are all too aware of this financial burden and will offer settlements far below a case’s actual worth. To avoid an unjust settlement offer, plaintiffs are turning to lawsuit funding for financial assistance.

Lawsuit funding is a no-risk cash advance against a pending claim. Not only does it help the plaintiff pay necessary bills and withstand prolonged litigation, but the cash advance provides time for the plaintiff’s attorney to pursue the claim to maximize recovery.

How is lawsuit funding no risk? The funding company only recoups the cash advance if the plaintiff prevails by securing a settlement. Should the plaintiff lose the case, the funding company receives nothing, not even the amount of the advance.

What are the monthly payments? Unlike a traditional bank loan, with pre-settlement lawsuit funding there are no monthly payments. The only payment is upon favorable case resolution and is paid directly from the lawsuit proceeds.

What is needed for approval? There is no need for employment verification or credit checks. Approval of lawsuit funding is based solely on the merits of the case, the likelihood of success, and the anticipated value of the case.

How does it work? A plaintiff with a personal injury applies for a lawsuit cash advance with a reputable legal finance company. Once the funding company reviews the application, if approved, a contract is drafted and executed. Funds will be available within 24 – 48 hours. The funding company will recoup its investment if, and only if, the client’s case successfully settles.

Lawsuit funding is not for everyone, but for those facing financial hardship, it can be very helpful. Rather than settling early — and for a far lesser amount due to monetary pressure — our legal funding services can help you catch up on unpaid bills and enjoy peace of mind until your case settles.

An experienced auto accident attorney can help victims obtain fair compensation for damages incurred; auto accident lawsuit funding can help victims withstand a long litigation process.

When we hear of an auto accident, we usually assume there were two vehicles – one driver negligent or at fault; the other an innocent victim. Last month, the driver of a pick-up truck hydroplaned slamming into a school bus. The accident left the truck driver dead; fourteen students and three adults were taken to the hospital with injuries ranging from minor bumps and bruises to more serious hip injuries. Although the accident is still under investigation, a common cause of hydroplaning (skidding on water) is speeding. However, auto accidents are not always a driver's fault; sometimes accidents are the result of defective or poorly designed roads. When a road is not properly built, it can hold too much water causing a driver to hydroplane out of control. If this occurs, the government agency may be held liable for damages.

In a recent accident, the family of the deceased driver may want to speak to an experienced auto accident attorney. If the driver hydroplaned due to poor road conditions, his surviving relatives may have a case. The other victims may file a personal injury lawsuit in order to pursue financial compensation for injuries and medical expenses.

Litigation is usually an overwhelming process. There are police reports, medical reports, witness statements, complaints, interrogatories, pleadings, discovery requests, motions, etc. Often times, plaintiffs will consider settling a valuable case too soon, for too little compensation just to pay the bills and avoid debt. Instead, the plaintiff should contact a lawsuit funding company.

Lawsuits are often settled too early, for too little, simply because plaintiffs are not in a financial position to withstand the long litigation process. Legal finance services are available to help an injured person or loved one pay important bills and expenses, while waiting for a fair resolution of his/her case. With the financial pressure removed, there is no need to resolve any case for less than the full value of a case. The application process is quick and easy, and there are no fees to apply, no credit check, no job requirement, and no payments to make. Lawsuit funding gives plaintiffs a strategic advantage because it gives them leverage against the insurance company; it prevents the plaintiff from being forced to take inadequate offers from greedy carriers. Best of all, lawsuit funding is truly a no-risk solution because if a plaintiff loses the case, the cash advance is kept free of charge. What bank makes that kind of offer?

Don’t settle for pennies on the dollar. Lawsuit funding is available, right now, to pay your rent, mortgage, car payment, credit card bills, utilities, groceries, medical expenses, transportation costs, and any other important bill or expense, while you wait for your case to resolve.

Here are some factors to consider whether lawsuit funding is right for your case.
1. Are you more worried about your immediate financial issues than about your accident, injuries, and receiving full compensation?
2. Are you facing eviction, foreclosure, repossession of you vehicle or other significant loss of valuable property?
3. Are you unable to put food on the table, pay for medical treatment/expenses or other necessities of life?
4. Do you need surgery/medical procedures that insurance won’t cover and you can’t otherwise afford?
5. Are you seriously considering settling your valuable case for inadequate compensation?

If the answer is “yes” to most or all of these questions, you are a likely candidate for lawsuit funding. By eliminating financial desperation, lawsuit funding is a vital tool in creating enhanced revenue.

Often times, owners of the premises where slip and fall accidents take place deny responsibility and delay resolution of a claim, forcing the injured person to wait years for just compensation. During this time, bills don’t stop coming. If the victim financial assistance during a pending claim, lawsuit funding may be a quick and risk-free option.

Alexis, a financial planner, was on a business trip when she slipped and fell in the weight room of the hotel because of a liquid substance on the floor. The fall caused her to fracture her leg requiring surgery. Alexis filed a lawsuit claiming the accident and injuries could have been prevented if the hotel employees had either cleaned up the spill or warned guests of its existence. Serious injuries prevented her from returning to work. The wheels of justice were turning slowly and she needed money to pay medical expenses. With a lawsuit cash advance of $2,500, Alexis was able to avoid an early settlement, debt, or jeopardizing her credit history.

If you were in a slip and fall accident, injuries may result in extensive medical bills, lost income due to an inability to return to work, and future medical needs. A personal injury attorney will make sure your rights are protected during this difficult time so that you can recover from the accident and receive fair compensation.

Filing a personal injury lawsuit is one of the most effective ways to hold liable parties financially responsible for injuries caused by their negligence. At the same time, a lawsuit cash advance can help pay the bills so plaintiffs aren’t forced to settle for less than fair compensation.

After a calamitous event for a grieving family, a lawsuit has been filed alleging negligence by the Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home.

Going to your husband's funeral and seeing his body in a casket is hard enough. But what if you go to his funeral; and see a stranger’s body? That is what happened to a Virginia woman last April. The woman paid over $6,000 to Hollomon-Brown for an open casket viewing, funeral services, and cremation for her late husband. When the grieving widow and family and friends arrived the day of the viewing, they found the most important detail missing – his body. His body had transported to another Hollomon Brown funeral home and took two hours to be returned. The widow alleges she still experiences “nightmares, panic attacks and flashbacks of seeing another man in her husband’s casket and clothing.” The lawsuit seeks $850,000 in damages.

Unlike a bank, there are no monthly payments or credit checks, and repayment is only made after successful settling the case.

If you have lost a loved one because of a defective or dangerous product and have filed a lawsuit, you may become a victim of financial ruin as well. When dealing with multiple jurisdictions in a lawsuit, a case can take much longer to settle. If such delays cause financial hardship, lawsuit funding may be a viable option.

A grieving Illinois mother has filed a lawsuit against a Canadian furniture manufacturer following the death of her 2-year-old son. The child apparently was attempting to climb onto the dresser in his bedroom when it toppled on top of him. The little boy died from suffocation under the weight of the dresser.

The lawsuit alleges that the manufacturer did not provide warnings or instructions to help prevent the tip-over. The suit also names the now dissolved local distributor of the dresser and its owners. The plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages on behalf of her son. Her attorney anticipates the suit could be transferred to federal court because of the multiple jurisdictions. "We're dealing with a Canadian company, so it's going to take longer," he said.

The dresser as originally constructed lacked anchoring straps to secure it to a wall. In May 2009, there was a voluntary industry change requiring that tip-over restraints that would attach to the interior wall, framing or other support be included with all dressers. The manufacturer has recalled nearly 300 Natart Chelsea three-drawer dressers since the incident and is supplying owners of the dressers with a retrofit kit to secure the furniture to a wall. Today's models of the same piece of furniture come with the anchor straps.

While most defective product cases are never intentional, it is up to manufacturers to protect consumers. Lawsuits help ensure that in the future safety comes first. In the meantime, when a company is negligent, victims are entitled to just compensation. Families waiting out the litigation process may be in need of financial assistance known as lawsuit funding, a cash advance against a pending claim.

In December 2008, an 18-year-old driver of a Chevy Caprice was seriously injured when his vehicle collided with a Waterloo police officer. The officer and two passengers in the teen’s vehicle escaped with minor injuries. The teen driver was left paralyzed.

The paralyzed man filed a lawsuit against the police officer and City of Waterloo alleging that the police officer caused the accident when he ran a red light without using his lights and sirens. This week, a jury returned a verdict in favor of the plaintiff. Although he was found 25% at fault, the City will pay $10.2 for past and future medical expenses.

This young man has been completely paralyzed for over four years, sleeping in a hospital bed in the living room of his home. Winning his case was no simple process; the defendant most likely argued that the accident was caused because the teen was driving under the influence. The jury recognized the teen was partially at fault however, the plaintiff's attorney showed enough proff that police officer was negligent when he chose to respond to a call without his lights and siren on. He was also speeding through the intersection at the time of the accident.

Lawsuit funding could possibly have helped this young man during a difficult financial period. A cash advance from a legal funding company 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 would not be obligated to pay back the cash advance.

After completing an online application, your case will be evaluated and if approved, funds can be wired into your account within 24-48 hours. Why struggle any longer?

One might find it hard to imagine that a doctor could amputate the wrong leg or remove the wrong kidney, but it does happen. When such medical negligence occurs, the resulting damages are irreparable. Unfortunately, most medical errors are not this “cut and dry.” Many cases involve multiple parties and because of the complex nature of medical malpractice cases, they take longer to reach trial – on average 3 – 5 years – than a victim has time to wait.

Medical malpractice victims often have serious financial issues directly related to damages incurred. Medical expenses and lost income often cause financial hardship and put victims and their families in a downward financial spiral. Creditors don’t care if a plaintiff can’t work or lost income from a deceased loved one; they only care about getting paid. When this happens, it is not uncommon for a plaintiff to seek litigation funding to mitigate these economic hardships.

Lawsuit Financial helps plaintiffs lessen their financial burdens while they wait for a favorable recovery in their case by providing a cash advance against the pending claim. Litigation funding is based on the merits and strengths of the lawsuit, not personal credit or work history. Once approved, funds can be used at the plaintiff’s discretion, although it is recommended to be use to pay medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and other pressing bills.

Times like this are when a plaintiff may be interested in litigation funding.

Olean General Hospital and three insulin pen manufacturers have been named in medical malpractice lawsuits filed by former diabetic patients of Olean General. The patients allege that hospital negligence exposed them to blood borne diseases after receiving insulin through an insulin pen. They have now tested positive for Hepatitis.

Last month, the hospital announced there was a possibility that insulin pens were re-used on different patients between November 2009 and mid-January 2013. Although close to 600 people have been tested for HIV and hepatitis B and C to date, hospital officials said there is “no evidence that anyone at the hospital received contamination through an insulin pen."

How many more cases may surface? No patient should be exposed to life-threatening diseases due to the negligence of improper procedures; these incidents were entirely preventable. Pursuing justice for medical malpractice victims is not just about compensation; lawsuits help promote safer and better health care. Unfortunately, the litigation process can be a long, drawn out process.

Pre-settlement funding has helped thousands of people cover medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, and monthly financial obligations as the result of a drunk driving accident. This type of funding is a non-recourse cash advance against a pending claim to help defray financial burdens during a long, litigation process.

Two widows filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the pick-up truck that killed their husbands and three local bars who allegedly served him. The truck driver was speeding when he crossed the center lane and struck a group of motorcyclists. The suit alleges that the bars over-served the man when he was already visibly intoxicated, ultimately contributing to the deadly accident. A police report states that the drunk driver had three beers at the first bar and four to five drinks at another prior to the accident. Four seriously injured motorcyclists are also part of the lawsuit.

If you or a loved one has been injured by a drunk driver, contacting a personal injury attorney is crucial to determining your legal rights. You may also be able to seek compensation from a bar or restaurant that over-served the drunk driver. Unfortunately, this will most likely be a slow, arduous process. Pre-settlement funding may be a solution to bridging the financial gap by helping to pay medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, or simply meeting monthly financial obligations as you await the resolution to your lawsuit.

When a bus accident causes serious injuries or death, the victims may be eligible for compensation. Even in cases where fault is obvious, a lawsuit can take a long time to settle. If this happens and the victim is struggling to pay the bills, bus accident lawsuit funding may be a solution.

Students and chaperones were returning from a field trip when the bus in which they were passengers struck an overpass on a major roadway to the Massachusetts Turnpike. The roof of the bus caved in injuring more than 30 people. The cause of the accident appears to be driver negligence; apparently the driver was looking at his GPS and missed the height limit warning signs before the overpass.

A 16-year-old student was critically injured and is still on a ventilator. He is unable to speak and can’t move his legs. He has already undergone surgery to insert a tracheotomy tube. His mother has filed a lawsuit against the driver of the buss and his employer alleging that the driver’s negligence caused her son to suffer serious injuries including a shattered vertebra, numerous vertebrae fractures and bone fragments in his spinal canal, and other medical conditions. The likelihood that the teen will be permanently disabled is highly probable. Crash reconstruction experts have not completed the investigation and are refusing the plaintiff’s attorney access to the bus halting steps to gather evidence to build a case.

In the meantime, the teen will be in the hospital for an unknown length of time. Even after released, he will have a long road of rehabilitation. The medical expenses alone could be more than this mother can bear.

Bus accident lawsuit funding is a cash advance based on the strengths and merits of the lawsuit; credit and employment are not important. Unlike a bank loan, lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning that if this woman obtained lawsuit funding and then lost her case, she would not be obligated to repay the legal funding company.

Lawsuit Financial offers an easy application process online or over the phone, and once we approve you request, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. With Lawsuit Financial, financial freedom is just a click or phone call away.

More often than not, an auto accident case takes more than a quick insurance claim or settlement. After a personal injury lawsuit is filed, the process has just begun. Auto accident lawsuits usually take several years depending on the accident’s severity. It is recommended that victims seek the services of an experienced attorney to clearly understand the legal system and to fight for full and fair compensation. But, what if you don’t have the financial means to withstand deny, delay, and defend tactics the insurance company? When this happens, don’t settle for less; contact the best in lawsuit funding.

I just wanted to thank Lawsuit Financial for coming to my aid when I need help the most. After my auto accident, I was unable to return to work and my wife was on bed rest due to complications with her pregnancy. I had no idea where to turn, but knew I need fast cash to pay the bills or we could lose everything. I applied for lawsuit funding on a Monday and had the money in my checking account within 24 hours. Again, I can’t thank you enough for helping me financially during a long legal process. With your cash advance, I was able to wait for full compensation from my claim. ~ E.J. - Florida

Many victims and their families have learned about financial hardships after suffering a personal injury or wrongful death. Attorneys can share experiences where clients were forced to accept a low settlement offer from the insurance company solely because the client needed fast cash. This is why Mark Bello founded Lawsuit Financial – to meet the growing demand for lawsuit funding, sometimes called “lawsuit loans.” Mr. Bello and his team understand the importance of lawsuit funding as a tool to help plaintiffs weather the financial storm.

Until a settlement is reached, a plaintiff may face significant expenses–such as medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, auto payments or car repairs, mortgage payments or rent, and other household expenses. Compounding this impediment is the fact that some plaintiffs are unable to work because of a serious injury. When this affects a plaintiff’s financial position, lawsuit funding can be a lifesaver.

Lawsuit Financial urges all plaintiffs to only seek the amount of funding absolutely necessary to pay the emergency bills. The first step is to complete a short application. We will request information from the plaintiff’s attorney in order to review the case and make a funding decision. If approved, repayment is required ONLY if the outcome of the lawsuit is successful! This means if you lose your case, you won’t be faced with paying off a new loan in addition to the already mounting debt. That’s right, if you lose you owe us nothing because we assume all the risk.

If you are struggling to make ends meet, contact Lawsuit Financial. Our consultations are free; the application process is free. We keep plaintiffs fighting for restitution as long as it takes to win.

When a victim has been involved in an accident involving a tractor trailer, it often times causes serious injuries leading to long-term medical treatment. During the litigation process, the victim’s attorney must prove the driver of the tractor trailer was negligent or careless at the time of the accident. This could take months, even years. While the victim’s attorney fights for compensation, lawsuit funding can help ease the financial burdens.

I recently settled a personal injury lawsuit after being involved in an accident with a tractor trailer. I was the truck drivers fault, but his employer and insurance company were fighting my claim. I hired an attorney that specializes in vehicle accidents, but the delays in reaching a settlement were reaping havoc on my finances. I applied for lawsuit funding and within 24 hours was able to pay off my debt and keep my lawsuit afloat. ~ Johnnie J. from Illinois

Johnnie suffered multiple fractures and broken bones after the driver of the tractor trailer hit him head-on. His injuries required extensive medical treatment and recovery and kept him out of work for over a year. Lawsuit Financial was able to provide Johnnie with a lawsuit cash advance to pay down his medical bills and mortgage helping him to achieve a larger settlement offer.

Plaintiffs in tractor-trailer accident cases will find our application quick and easy. Once you apply, we will work directly with your attorney to gather the necessary information to review and process your request quickly. Approvals can often be made within 24 hours. Our only requirement is that you are represented by an attorney and your case has merit.

Lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, so nothing is paid back until you receive your case settlement. If, for some reason, you don't win your case, the repayment is completely waived. It is no longer necessary to allow corporate defense attorneys force you to settle prematurely for a fraction case value. If you are injured in a tractor trailer accident, and struggling financially, let lawsuit funding remove the financial pressure and gives you and your attorney the time needed to fully pursue your case.

A 28-year-old man was killed this week in an auto accident when his vehicle crossed the center line of the road and then hit a truck driven by a 47-year-old man. The victim and two passengers in his vehicle died at the scene. The driver of the truck escaped with minor injuries. Although the investigation is ongoing, it has emerged that the deceased driver was using her cell phone at the time of the accident. There is also evidence that he was driving under the influence of alcohol.

The families of the deceased may seek damages in the loss of their loved ones. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney is recommended; an attorney can help ensure that the investigation is thoroughly conducted and in the best interest of the victim’s family. It can be difficult for the plaintiffs to withstand the litigation process and make a strong case if they must worry about how to pay the funeral and burial expenses. They may not be aware that these concerns can be eliminated with lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is an emergency cash advance to help plaintiffs pay the bills ahead of their expected settlement or verdict. It provides plaintiffs with the staying power to fight the insurance company. With financial peace of mind, plaintiffs will be in a better position to fight for fair compensation. This non-recourse cash advance can be obtained within 24 – 48 hours. The first step is to complete an online application. The funding company will do the rest.

Don’t lose more than your case value just because you don’t have money to push for justice. If someone in your family suffered from wrongful death due to the negligence of another, and you are facing serious financial issues while waiting for a settlement, you should look no further than Lawsuit Financial. Call 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) and let us help you level the playing field.

Are you experiencing financial difficulty from an accidental injury or disability that was not your fault? Has your lawyer filed a lawsuit for financial recovery, but you need money now to pay the mortgage, car payment, medical bills, and household bills? Immediate cash may be available to you through a litigation funding company.

If you are involved in a lawsuit or legal claim, it may take months or even years to receive the highest possible settlement. When your ability to work is affected, the longer your case lasts, the more difficult it becomes to pay ongoing bills. Litigation funding is a way to bridge the gap between when you file a lawsuit and when you reach an appropriate resolution of your case. Although other terms for this type of funding may be referred to as "lawsuit loan" it is not actually a loan, but a cash advance against the settlement in a lawsuit.

Years ago, plaintiffs had no option but to settle their case if they couldn’t financially afford to wait for a fair settlement. While insurance companies reached record profits, plaintiffs were being compensated for a fraction of case value. Litigation funding helps level the playing field, eases the financial burden, and reduces the pressure to settle too quickly and for too little. It allows plaintiffs to pursue their case to the full extent without being rushed to seek judgment because of cash constraints.

A unique advantage of this form of litigation financing is that it carries no risk to the plaintiff. The funding company is only repaid if and when the plaintiff wins. Additionally, there is no application fee; it costs nothing to apply. If approved, plaintiffs can begin paying the bills within 24 – 48 hours so their attorney can continue the case in pursuit of the maximum settlement.

When life won’t wait for your lawsuit to settle, lawsuit funding can be your financial life-preserver!

Lawsuit Financial was created to meet the growing demand to help financially-strapped plaintiffs.

“Don't let financial issues force you to settle your personal injury lawsuit too soon. Lawsuit Financial can give you money to cover emergencies or household living expenses. How do I know?

Most of all, I respected that Lawsuit Financial carefully explains the funding process so I only borrowed the money I really needed. Thanks to lawsuit funding, settlement was far more than I ever expected.” ~ Louis Winfrey

• The accident was the fault of a drunk driver.
• Your injuries will require surgery, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.
• You are unable to work due to injuries.
• You have no means of income and your savings are depleted.
• You have contacted an attorney and filed a personal injury lawsuit.

In comes the defendant’s insurance company with an offer to settle. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not interested in paying fair value for claims. They will low-ball because they know, like most victims, you don’t have the financial stability to play their waiting game. Insurers will deny, delay, and defend because they have deep pockets and can afford the best legal counsel. In order to go the distance, plaintiffs call the legal funding experts at Lawsuit Financial.

Lawsuit funding may be the only way for financially strapped plaintiffs to pursue their lawsuit and hold the wrongdoer accountable. Lawsuit funding is a cash advance to help plaintiffs pay medical expenses, mortgage or rent, utilities, and other household necessities. Unlike a loan, lawsuit funding requires no monthly payments, credit checks, or employment verifications; best of all, if the plaintiff does not receive a settlement or favorable verdict, there is no obligation to repay the cash advance.

If you are pursuing a qualified lawsuit and experiencing serious financial challenges during the aftermath of your injury or accident, call Lawsuit Financial. We will help you even the playing field and take away the insurance company’s unfair advantage. Fight for your rights; call us today.

When someone’s death is caused by an undiagnosed heart attack, the surviving family members are often left wondering what could have been done. In most cases, further actions could have been taken to save the patient which is why the majority of medical malpractice lawsuits are the result of medical errors in diagnosis. Lawsuit Financial represents families left devastated by negligent doctors and other professionals. Our legal funding services help combat mounting bills during a potentially long legal battle.

Recently a patient died from a sudden and unexpected fatal heart attack because doctors did not identify a cardiovascular disease. A lawsuit was filed alleging doctors misread test results and overlooked obvious symptoms.

After contacting our office, we were able to provide a lawsuit cash advance of $5,000 and the family was able to wait for justice and receive the compensation they deserved.

Every plaintiff enters a lawsuit expecting a fair settlement. Unfortunately, this is not an easy task; fighting for your rights can be a long, complicated battle leading to financial hardship.

When an auto accident causes serious or fatal consequences, an auto accident attorney can help ensure that the victim receives fair and just compensation, but who helps with the financial needs until a settlement is reached? Plaintiffs can quickly find that paying the mortgage, medical expenses, and other living expenses can become difficult or impossible especially if the plaintiff is unable to work. The good news is plaintiffs no longer need to accept a lower settlement than they deserve. Lawsuit funding offers more choices and better options.

“I had a lawsuit that was dragging on for over 2 years which was financially difficult for my family. My attorney suggested I contact Lawsuit Financial who reviewed my case and gave me a “lawsuit loan.” Sandy was extremely helpful and convinced me to apply for a smaller amount than I thought I needed. She explained that it was in my best interest to take out the smallest advance possible and apply for additional funding later, if I needed it. With the help of Lawsuit Financial, I was able to pay the mortgage and put food on the table. Thank you for putting me first.”

Do you need fast cash to meet your financial obligations - medical bills, mortgage, tuition, food? Then, you have come to the right place. At Lawsuit Financial, we are here to provide the financial support you need.

An auto accident can occur anytime. You may suffer serious injuries as a result of another driver's negligence, poor road conditions, or inclement weather. When this happens, you can hold the negligent driver responsible for harm caused. Filing a lawsuit would allow you to sue for medical expenses, physical therapy, future medical bills, and loss of income as a result of the accident. Compensation can also be sought for non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering.

Unfortunately, in addition to physical and emotional implications, plaintiffs often times face financial difficulties as a result of injuries incurred. Keeping up with the bills can be a huge strain causing those in need of fast cash to consider a less than favorable settlement. Fortunately, there is a service called lawsuit funding - financial relief for cash-strapped plaintiffs.

Lawsuit funding is immediate cash that empowers plaintiffs to pursue their lawsuit in order to get the settlement they deserve. It is a safer option than using credit cards or applying for a bank loan because with lawsuit funding there are no credit checks, employment verifications, or monthly payments. Additionally, the funding is not repaid until the case settles and if they plaintiff is unsuccessful, the repayment is waived completely.

If you need immediate financial help during the litigation process, don’t feel financially pressured to accept a less than fair settlement offer. Contact the legal funding expert to discuss the benefits of lawsuit funding for your case. It may be the solution you need in order to get the compensation you deserve!

When we entrust our elderly loved ones to a nursing home, we expect that they will be receive proper care and be treated with dignity. Unfortunately, the number of nursing home negligence and abuse cases in the U.S. are rising each year. Communication among caregivers is far too common; the most noted errors are in prescribing medication. When this happens, family members should seek an experienced attorney who specializes in nursing home negligence cases. Once an attorney is retained, if families find that they do not have the financial strength to pursue the case to the end without some financial assistance, litigation funding may be available.

A wrongful death lawsuit was recently filed against a Chicago nursing home after the death of a patient. Family members allege that doctors prescribed incorrect and excessive doses of medications and failed to properly monitor and report the woman’s condition, which ultimately caused her death. The lawsuit seeks in excess of $200,000.

Lawsuit Financial has provided litigation funding to families like this one for many years. We review the case, and if it has merit, will devise a legal finance plan to assist victims and family members through the difficult financial times. Litigation funding can often be the difference between a mediocre settlement and a large, injury appropriate settlement.

To be considered for litigation funding, we required completion of a simple application which is available online or by calling our office. You are not subjected to credit checks and there is no employment verification; these things do not matter in the decision and funding process. Additionally, the money is provided risk-free; recipients do not have to pay back the cash advance until the case is successful. If the litigation funding client loses, the repayment is waived in its entirety.

Victims should not conduct settlement negotiations when they are struggling financially. If you or a loved one has experienced nursing home negligence or abuse, wait for full case value with the help of Lawsuit Financial. Visit us on line, or call toll free 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) to discuss your financial needs.

Millions of people are seriously injured or die in automobile accidents each year. If a lawsuit is filed, there is no guarantee how quickly the case will settle. It may take to prove fault and the magnitude of injuries sustained. The insurance company will, more often than not, deny claims. Then, there is the time waiting for the case to move down the court docket. In the meantime, you may have missed work due to injuries, or worse, lost the sole breadwinner if the accident resulted in death. The financial strain not only seriously impacts your life, but your case. A financially desperate plaintiff is not a positive influence on settlement negotiations nor is it right to settle for less than case value. But, how do you survive, financially, while you wait for a trial or settlement? Most options are risky - credit card advances, home equity loans, second mortgages all require repayment whether you win or lose your lawsuit. Many people have discovered a new, risk-free option known as lawsuit funding.

Many seeking funding will ask if it is a lawsuit loan; it is not. Loans require you to repay regardless of case outcome; if you lose your case, you must still pay-off a loan. With lawsuit funding, the legal finance company invests in the outcome of the case. At Lawsuit Financial, we believe that expert case evaluation or underwriting is our responsibility. Thus, if a client loses, the repayment is waived. With the assistance of the plaintiff’s attorney, we can provide funding within 24 hours of receipt of application.

What is required to be considered for lawsuit funding?
1. Filed a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.
2. Complete a one-page online application.
3. A case with merit.

What Is NOT required?
1. Application Fee
2. Monthly Payments

In the News:

A Chicago nursing home is being sued for the wrongful death of a patient who allegedly died from a drug overdose. The suit claims that doctors prescribed an inappropriate dosage and combination of medications, and staff failed to properly monitor and report her condition which ultimately resulted in her death. The lawsuit seeks in excess of $200,000.

Have you lost a family member due to the negligence of others? Nothing can replace the loss of a loved one, but family members can collect money damages to cover the loss of earnings, death associated expenses (funerals, medical bills), pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. The first step is to consult an experienced nursing home attorney who will evaluate how much your case is worth. If you do not have an attorney Lawsuit Financial would be happy to assist in finding one in your area.

For additional information, call our office toll-free at 877-377-7848 or visit us online.

Every personal injury lawsuit is different; some may resolve in a few months; others may take several years. On average a case will take roughly two years to resolve, but trials and appeals can prolong the settlement for many years.

The first year is devoted to the injuries - diagnosing, treating and, hopefully, improving the condition. On the legal side, a personal injury lawyer will perform initial case investigation and records compilation, and notify the defendant and his insurance company of the claim. A lawsuit may be filed and a "value" placed on the case.

How is the value of a case determined? The single most important factor in determining the value of any personal injury case is the extent to which the injured party has suffered a serious or permanent injury. It is important that a doctor determines the ‘seriousness’ of the injury and renders an opinion. Typically, doctors’ will use one year post-injury as the general rule of thumb for determining permanency.

It is important not to resolve a case too quickly because once the case is resolved, releases are signed and checks are distributed, there is no going back; the case is settled. Know the full extent of your permanent limitations, if any, before settling your case. It is also in a plaintiff’s best interest to avoid rushing a settlement because if the insurance company realizes this eagerness to settle, it will take advantage of the plaintiff and provide an inadequate, low-ball settlement offer.

Resist the temptation for a quick settlement. If you are struggling financially to pay important bills or expenses, like mortgage payments, rent, tuition, food, etc., litigation funding may be available to bridge the gap between the first settlement offer and an appropriate resolution of your case.

Ask your attorney for advice on whether litigation funding may be appropriate in your situation. If you qualify, we will provide you with the money you need now to help pay household bills, medical expenses, mortgage payments, utility bills or any other important expense, while you and your lawyer pursue your case. No repayment is made until you successful settle your case; if you lose, you keep our lawsuit cash, free of charge.

If you have been seriously injured and have not yet retained an attorney, we can assist you in finding an attorney in your area that specializes in the type of incident that caused your injury. Call Lawsuit Financial toll free at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) or visit us online. The call is free; the advice is priceless.

After more than two years of litigation, a settlement was finally reached in a serious right-of-way auto accident lawsuit in Texas. The accident occurred in 2008 (four years prior to settlement) when a driver failed to yield the right-of-way at an intersection and hit the plaintiff’s vehicle. The plaintiff suffered a severe head injury and other injuries. She sought damages for medical expenses, loss of earnings and earning capacity, physical pain and impairment, and mental anguish.

Failure-to-yield auto accidents are often complex; determining fault is difficult. Often times, the at-fault driver and the insurance company will not admit fault. Sometimes, the party that is actually at-fault is hit by the innocent victim’s vehicle, leading to confusion, a more detailed investigation, and often times a longer litigation process. When the innocent victim suffers serious injuries, paying the bills can be a problem especially if the victim is unable to work. At times like this, Lawsuit Financial can be a financial life-saver.

Lawsuit Financial understands the financial challenges victims and their families face after a serious auto accident. We offer litigation funding, a cash advance against a pending claim, to help plaintiff’s who need financial help while their case proceeds through the litigation process. Litigation funding is an excellent choice for plaintiffs needing cash now to remain financially stable until a settlement is reached. Once the plaintiff applies, our underwriters will review the case and if approved we can wired a check directly into the plaintiff’s bank account within 24 – 48 hours. The only requirement for litigation funding is that the case has merit. There is no need for good credit or employment, and there are no monthly payments. We are paid back once the case is settled. If the plaintiff loses the case, the funds are waived completely because litigation funding is provided on a non-risk basis.

Call our office today or visit us online if you need financial assistance in a failure-to-yield, or any auto, accident.

Carrying adequate insurance coverage can provide peace of mind by ensuring that you have a safety net if you are ever injured or suffer a loss. We rely on insurance; we assume it will be there when we need it.

What if you are a victim of “Hurricane Sandy”? Many New Yorkers have weathered the storm, but can you “weather” the insurance company’s deny and delay tactics? It is rare for strong hurricanes to hit this region, therefore only a small percentage of homeowners have an addendum on their insurance policy for such property damage. For those that had hurricane insurance, the policy covers damage from wind, but it does not cover damage from flooding due to storm surge. Was the damage caused by wind or storm? Which came first?

Insurance companies are denying claims stating that the property damage by a hurricane is not covered, yet the National Weather Service declared “Sandy” a tropical storm an hour before it hit land. Sadly, this is how most carriers handle their insurance claims; continuously taking your money in premiums and refusing to pay it out in benefits.

Hurricane Katrina victims, who lost everything they held dear, were forced to litigate claims in a legal system that insurance companies knew would take years before they would be forced to compensate desperate victims. Fortunately, most victims consulted experienced attorneys who filed and won “bad faith” lawsuits against these greedy insurance companies. It looks like “Hurricane Sandy” victims will have to do the same.

It takes a lawsuit for insurance companies to do the right thing. Without holding the insurance companies accountable, these greedy carriers would continue to put profits over its obligations to its policyholder obligations. Corporate greed causes plaintiffs to fight for their rights through a lengthy litigation and a system of clogged court dockets. The threat of a lawsuit is still the most important tool an American citizen has to fight for justice. Unfortunately, insurance companies will always deny or delay fair compensation, hoping a client will become financially desperate and settle for less than fair compensation. That is why lawsuit funding companies came into existence. Clients, with pending personal injury lawsuits, would never need lawsuit funding if the insurance companies always paid claims in a fair and timely manner rather than engaging in "delay, deny, confuse, refuse" tactics.

Lawsuit Financial stands ready to assist you in your fight for justice. We can assist you with a non-recourse cash advance, collateralized only by your pending lawsuit. The goal of lawsuit financing is to get the plaintiff through the lengthy litigation without having pressing bills and expenses effect the value of their case. Someone desperate for money will, almost always, settle his/her case for less than appropriate value. Strategic lawsuit financing will often prevent this from happening and pay for itself with increased case proceeds. Don’t be afraid to stand up to the insurance companies and stand up for your rights, no matter how long it takes.

If you have lost a loved one in an auto accident, whether or not it was caused by a drunk driver, you should consult an experienced attorney as soon as possible. If you are unsure how to proceed, Lawsuit Financial can provide referral assistance at no cost.

Although it may be difficult for surviving family members to think about taking legal action following the loss of a loved, a wrongful death lawsuit is the only way to hold the negligent party accountable for their actions and for the family to seek compensation for damages. In addition to compensation for funeral costs, medical bills, and other expenses resulting from the death, the family can also seek damages for the loss of present and future earnings as well as intangible elements of life, such as loss of companionship, which cannot be assigned cash value.

The loss of a family member almost always results in financial difficulty for the victim's survivors. There is immediate financial assistance, called lawsuit funding, available to families that find themselves in this type of situation. Lawsuit funding is a cash provided in advance of an expected settlement; its main purpose is to assist plaintiffs who are struggling to make ends meet due to injury or death caused by auto accidents.

If you are strapped for cash while in a pending personal injury, wrongful death, or medical malpractice lawsuit, contact Lawsuit Financial to determine if litigation funding can help you.

Litigation funding is a lawsuit cash advance to plaintiffs that mounting bills that need be paid immediately, but a settlement is months, if not years, away. The only qualification is a pending lawsuit with merit. Employment doesn’t matter; credit checks don’t matter. The cash advance can be used for anything, but is recommended to pay down debt, avoid foreclosure, make auto payments, pay tuition, or to pay for household necessities. With litigation funding, a plaintiff “buys” time to achieve a favorable settlement. There are no monthly payments; repayment is made once the case successfully settles. Funding a lawsuit can be as quick as 24 – 48 hours from receipt of application. Best of all, litigation funding is risk-free; if the plaintiff loses the case, the lawsuit cash advance is waived in its entirety.

This hypothetical situation will help illustrate how litigation funding can help a seriously injured plaintiff in an auto accident.

The victim was the backseat passenger in a rear-end auto accident caused by a distracted driver. Although the victim was wearing a seat belt, he sustained a severe lumbar fracture and a brutal fracture to his left femur. The femur fracture caused a blot clot and pulmonary emboli that resulted in a major stroke that left him paralyzed on his right side.

The man's life was turned upside down in the blink of an eye; he could no longer work and needed long-term care. He filed a personal injury lawsuit, but his attorney told him the case would take months to settle. After consulting with his attorney, he had two options – settle for the low offer from the insurance company or apply for litigation funding.

After Lawsuit Financial received his online application and evaluated his case, we were able to provide the client with enough money to pay all his outstanding bills. With the financial pressure removed, the case was able to proceed to a just and fair settlement.

Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice legal funding expert, takes the pressure off plaintiffs by providing a non-recourse cash advance based solely on the merits of a pending lawsuit. There is no reason to settle for less than full case value because we can empower you to pursue your lawsuit to get the maximum lawsuit settlement you deserve.

Anyone seriously injured in an auto accident due to the negligence of someone else, knows the emotional, physical, and financial consequences. You may be unable to work in the short-term or indefinitely due to injuries sustained. The medical expenses may be reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars and the mortgage is past due. Your settlement is pending in court, but the creditors don’t care.

Lawsuit Financial does not believe plaintiffs should take on more debt during what is already a difficult time. We also don’t believe that you should accept a low settlement offer. That is why we help plaintiffs take care of those mounting bills with a lawsuit cash advance known as lawsuit funding.

With lawsuit funding, you can immediately receive a portion of your projected settlement in advance; the cash advance is provided solely on the merit of your case. Once approved, the money is wired into your account and can be used immediately to cover the medical expenses, car payments, monthly household bills, or anything you wish. It is an excellent way to prevent foreclosure, repossession, and bankruptcy. It helps protect your credit rating, too.

Do not have to accept a less-than-favorable settlement offer due to financial pressures. Call our office to learn more information about lawsuit funding and how we may be able to give your attorney more time to pursue your case in order to get the maximum settlement you deserve.

Misdiagnosis and failure to diagnose are two of the most common types of medical malpractice lawsuits. Misdiagnosis means that the medical staff has incorrectly diagnosed the patient’s symptoms, often leading to a course of treatment that is inappropriate, even dangerous. Failure to diagnose occurs when a medical professional misses key symptoms and warning signs.

Ellen Wadsworth finally has something to be thankful for – justice! On Thanksgiving Day in 2008, Ms. Wadsworth was taken to the ER by her son after complaining of intense pain in her legs and unusually cold feet. She was examined by a Physician’s Assistant (PA) who concluded that the woman had a skin infection, known as cellulites. No tests were conducted to determine if there was blood flow to the feet. With a physician’s approval, the PA gave Wadsworth eight milligrams of Morphine and sent her home.

Twelve hours later, Ms. Wadsworth was rushed back to the hospital after she became unresponsive; she had suffered a heart attack. At that time, it was determined that she had blocked arteries behind both knees; a conclusion that could have been determined by a simple test the first time she went to the ER. Although doctors were able to save her life, they could not save her legs which were both amputated from the knee down.

Ms. Wadsworth filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging gross negligence. The suit claims that she had classic signs of an arterial problem, but her arteries were never checked that Thanksgiving Day. If they had, she would not be confined to a wheelchair today. The lawsuit sought damages for pain and suffering and future medical expenses. A jury recently found the physician’s assistant negligent and awarded Ms. Wadsworth $5 million.

If you have suffered from a medical malpractice injury, it is imperative that you seek legal advice as soon as possible. Do not pay for medical negligence; do not live with the consequences of a doctor error or misdiagnosis. In addition to the emotional and physical pain and suffering, you may be experiencing a severe financial hardship.

Plaintiffs do not have the deep pockets like hospitals and insurance companies. They can’t afford to wait forever for a settlement without feeling some financial stress. The good news is – plaintiffs do not have to struggle financially during the litigation process.

Every year, Lawsuit Financial helps innocent victims like Ms. Wadsworth seek fair and just compensation for medical negligence. We provide lawsuit funding to financially strapped plaintiffs who need help paying the bills until their case settles. Lawsuit funding is a cash advance based purely on the strength of the lawsuit. Unlike a bank loan, there are no credit checks, employment verifications, monthly payments. Best of all, the cash advance is only repaid if, and when, the case reaches a favorable settlement for the plaintiff. Don’t be forced into an unfair settlement. Contact Lawsuit Financial for a free no-obligation consultation or to apply.

Filing a lawsuit when you are seriously injured or lost a loved one is a long process. It may lead to financial challenges if you are unable to work due to injuries or lost a loved one that was the sole breadwinner. It may be simply the added expenses are more than you can handle. The financial challenges will build as the litigation process drags on.

The insurance company may offer to settle at a value less than what your attorney tells you the case is worth. Your attorney tells you that by waiting your case will settle for significantly more money. The problem is that you don’t have the time or money to wait. You think it may be easier to tell your attorney to “just settle it”, but is that the best answer? Is that really what you want to do?

Instead of accepting a low settlement offer, you may be able to secure lawsuit funding until your case settles. Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance against a pending suit based entirely on the merits of your case. It is an opportunity to help plaintiffs pay some or all of their bills. The money can be used for anything, but Lawsuit Financial suggests you pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and other bills associated with your injuries.

At Lawsuit Financial, we don’t believe you should have to pile on debt after a serious injury or loss, nor do with believe you should “just settle” to pay the bills. We offer free, no obligation consultations and if you apply with us, there are no credit checks, no employment verifications, and no monthly fees. Speak to one of our representatives if you would like more information about lawsuit funding.

Tragedy struck on April 21, 2011 for a 32-year-old man working at a construction site. The man suffered permanent brain damage when he fell 25 feet from a work platform while applying siding to an apartment building. He also suffered from broken bones and a hip fracture. He is unable to work and will be required to take anti-seizure medicine the rest of his life.

Although workers' compensation may pay for some of the medical bills and lost earnings, it cannot adequately compensate the injured worker for permanent losses and disability arising from his serious injuries. The victim filed a personal injury lawsuit contending that the construction company failed to provide a safe working environment and that it knowingly subjected employees to dangerous conditions.

His attorney said that the claim could take up to two years to settle. The plaintiff is already struggling to meet his financial obligations. He cannot support his family, and is unable to obtain a bank loan until his case settles. How will he keep his home and provide for his family?

We require no monthly payments and there are no credit checks or employment verification. Only when the case is settled, does the plaintiff repay the lawsuit cash advance.

Four bicyclists were struck by a 19971 Nissan Altima while on an 80-mile bicycle ride in what nj.com says was “like dominoes.” One by one, the 25-year-old driver struck and injured the cyclists who were riding in a single line along the roadway. All four bicyclists were hospitalized for injuries sustained in the accident. The driver left the scene, but was found by state troopers about an hour later. Exactly what caused the driver to hit the bicyclists is undetermined.

These bicyclists should know that they may be entitled to compensation for their losses, including medical expenses for treatment of the injuries sustained as well as on ongoing treatment such as physical therapy, loss of income for time the victims are unable to work due to their injuries, and compensation for pain and suffering.

An experienced personal injury attorney can help seek full and fair settlement.

Although most attorneys work on a contingency basis, plaintiffs may need cash to pay other expenses as a result of the accident. Typically, a bank will not provide a lawsuit loan. If a plaintiff can’t borrow the money from family or friends, what else can the victim do?

There are no credit checks so if the credit cards are already maxed out, it doesn’t matter. There is no employment verification so it doesn’t matter if victims are out of work due to injuries sustained. Repayment of the lawsuit cash advance is only made once the case is settled. Best of all, if the plaintiff loses, the re-payment is waived in its entirety. Lawsuit funding removes the financial stress and once that stress is gone, plaintiffs can concentrate on recovering from their injuries and winning their case. It is that simple!

Street racing is not only illegal, but it puts many innocent lives at risk. Because these races are conducted on the open road, innocent bystanders are also at risk; there are no barriers to protect them. Unfortunately, a young man recently lost his life while saving a friend. Witnesses said vehicles involved in a fatal hit-and-run accident were not racing, but one resident went outside the night of the fatality when she heard vehicles racing; she wanted to take a video to show police what she and other residents had been complaining about for months. Unfortunately, she found herself calling 911. The deceased young man and three injured were all bystanders. One driver turned himself in and may be facing charges; he was released on bond. He may also face a lawsuit from the injured victims and the family of the deceased. If these families file a suit and are struggling to meet financial obligations, lawsuit funding may be an option.

An Army veteran filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging that a Veterans Administration (VA) nurse packed his penis in ice for 19 hours following penile implant and circumcision. The suit contends that her negligence caused frostbite and gangrene, ultimately leading to the organ's partial amputation; he will need reconstructive surgery allowing him to urinate.

The veteran initially sought compensation under the Federal Tort Claims Act, a civil procedure which requires a person to file a claim with the government and prevents them from suing until the claim is resolved. When the VA office declined the claim, the man sought legal council and filed the medical malpractice suit.

Pursuing justice is not just about the compensation. This victim has been robbed of his manhood; he can’t urinate without additional surgery. It wasn’t until the VA denied his claim that this innocent victim sought legal advice and filed a lawsuit. Undoubtedly, the VA will continue to deny, delay, and defend. In doing so, this innocent veteran may face undeserving financial hardship. If that is the case, he may be eligible for lawsuit funding; a lawsuit cash advance to help pay his medical expenses and other pressing bills.

A woman suffered a fractured skull after a biker hit her on the Queensboro Bridge. Another New Yorker was knocked unconscious after being hit from behind by a cyclist. She broke her skull, collar bone, and three ribs, causing a hematoma that made her bleed out her ears.

Central Park is a “hot spot” for pedestrian-bicycle accidents. Unfortunately, police are rarely seen enforcing cyclist laws in the park. Park-goers on foot say they are in danger every time they visit the park. There has been a growing outcry among pedestrians over bicyclists who ignore stop signs, stop lights and other traffic laws.

A recent study found that at least 500 New Yorkers are treated in hospitals annually after being hit by bicyclists. Last year, two women were nearly killed in collisions with bicyclists in Brooklyn’s Prospect Park — leaving one in a coma for days and the other with severe brain damage. Can these victims seek compensation for damages? Absolutely! They may also be able to apply, and receive, lawsuit funding to avoid financial ruin.

Anyone involved in a pedestrian - bicycle accident is vulnerable to sustaining serious injuries because the body absorbs the impact directly. If you have been injured as a result of a bicycle-pedestrian accident, you may be able to obtain financial compensation to cover medical expenses, lost wages stemming from being unable to work, and pain and suffering.

To bring a claim, the pedestrian must prove negligence on the part of the bicycle.

Nursing home negligence is not negligence just because a patient develops bedsores; it includes the failure to provide basic necessities such as water, food, medication, and protection from health and safety risks. Negligence can also result from falls, broken hips, bed sores, malnutrition, dehydration, and improper care of injuries which may lead to serious complications, even death.

Bed sores are a typical example of conditions that are relatively easy to prevent but far too common in many nursing centers. Seniors can develop bed sores at a higher frequency due to inactivity, the thinning of skin, poor circulation, and malnutrition.

A perfect example is a case in which a pregnant woman was severely injured while riding in an ambulance. The ambulance driver was found negligent; he was not only speeding, but distracted while reaching for a tracking device that had fallen on the floor of the vehicle. The innocent victim was left with lifelong disabilities – a traumatic brain injury and a severed spinal cord. Her baby was born prematurely, but fortunately survived despite weighing less than 3 pounds.

Mr. Bello, founder and CEO of Lawsuit Financial, a personal injury lawyer for 25 years before going into the lawsuit funding business, said, “Nursing home negligence and abuse can be a hidden, and victims are often not capable of expressing pain or reporting the neglect or abuse on their own. Therefore, it is important for family members watch for signs or symptoms of abuse.”

• Unusual weight loss, malnutrition, dehydration
• Untreated physical problems such as bed sores
• Unsanitary conditions such as soiled bedding and clothes
• Unsuitable clothing or covering for the weather
• Unsafe living conditions such as no heat or faulty wiring
• Lack of supervision by nursing home staff
• Multiple injuries such as fractured hips and broken bones

Mr. Bello believes nursing home negligence is often times the result of overworked employees, but that is no excuse for neglect.

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. It is important to seek advice from an attorney experienced in nursing home neglect and abuse. If you need assistance finding a reputable attorney in your area, contact Lawsuit Financial. We can help you locate an experienced attorney in your area from our nationwide database; this service is at no cost. Isn’t it time to hold nursing home accountable for neglect and abuse?

Lawsuit funding may help the family of a 21-year-old college student who lost her life in a single vehicle accident. At 4:50 a.m., the victim was riding in a van with three others on her way back to college when the driver hit a guardrail while exiting the highway. The woman was ejected from the van; she died at the scene. The driver and one other passenger were treated at the hospital for injuries and released; a third passenger was not injured. Although the investigation is still ongoing, there are two known facts; alcohol was not a factor and the victim was not wearing her seatbelt. Police are looking into a statement that the van was cut off by another driver.

An experienced auto accident attorney will be able to help the victim’s family determine if they have the right to seek compensation. Was the driver fatigued or speeding? Was there another vehicle that caused the accident?

Six people died when a tractor-trailer rear-ended an SUV causing a chain reaction accident that involved six vehicles. The driver of the first vehicle died at the hospital; the driver and four passengers in another SUV were killed after their vehicle burst into flames. An injured Department of Transportation worker was pulled from his vehicle before it caught fire; he remains in critical condition.

The accident occurred in a work zone as the driver of the tractor trailer was approaching a straight, yet slightly downhill stretch of the two-way highway. Seeing a line of cars stopped, the driver of the tractor trailer applied the brakes, but it was too late.

Construction signs were prominently displayed and met Department of Transportation standards, but the driver of the tractor trailer did not notice them until it was too late, although he did not appear to be impaired or distracted. An inspection of his cell phone revealed no calls are texts being made immediately before the accident. State police are conducting an investigation, interviewing witnesses, and trying to reconstruct the scene to determine the sequence of events in this fatal accident.

The tractor trailer is registered to Meadowbrook Meat Company, Inc. The investigation has revealed that trucks operated by the company have been involved in 75 accidents over the past two years, including one fatality. It was also revealed that 1,536 inspections resulted in 11 percent of vehicles being taken off the road and 2,947 inspections resulted in 2 percent of drivers being taken off the road. Was the truck driver properly trained? Does Meadowbrook conduct regularly schedule maintenance checks and inspections of its fleet?

There are many causes of tractor trailer accidents including fatigued, inexperienced, or distracted driver. Accidents can also be caused when trucks are not properly inspected and maintained, or there is a mechanical failure or manufacturer defect. Due to the size and weight of a tractor-trailer versus a passenger vehicle, when an accident occurs the results can be catastrophic.

Those who have suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one as a result of a tractor trailer auto accident should seek legal counsel as soon as possible to preserve evidence and understand your rights. An attorney experienced in trucking accidents can help determine your rights to compensation for medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and loss of quality of life. If you need help locating an experienced attorney in your area, contact Lawsuit Financial; we offer a free, nationwide attorney referral program.

What happened in the moments before two Union Pacific trains slammed into each other in the Oklahoma Panhandle? That is a job that will take the NTSB close to a year to determine.

Last month, two freight trains collided in a fiery head-on collision killing three people. Why were both trains on the same track; one of the trains should have turned off the track allowing the other to pass? An initial investigation has ruled out speeding and the brakes appeared in good working condition. At this time nothing is clear, but human error may have been the cause. The NTSB will check work logs to determine if fatigue could have played a role, and although no cell phones were found at the crash site, phone records will be checked to ensure that workers were not distracted by cell phones. Human error could have been made in the control room or on the trains. A complete investigation will take close to a year.

The families of the victims may wish to seek advice from an experienced train accident attorney who can determine if the train accident was caused by a mechanical failure or negligence. Once an attorney is retained, the litigation process begins, but any settlement or verdict in this case is likely to be a long way off. In the meanwhile, the victim’s families may lack the financial resources needed to cover their expenses; they need financial help now. One solution is lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance on the expected settlement of your case.

A 12-year-old died from septic shock four days after being released from the emergency room. As you will see from the chronicle of events, substandard care and negligence appears to have caused the child’s death.

March 28th: The boy received a small cut on his arm during basketball practice at school. He complained of a stomachache before bed. Around midnight, the child woke up vomiting and complaining of pain in his leg.

March 29: In the morning, the boy had a fever of 104. Later in the day, he was scene by his pediatrician. By this time, he was so ill that his mother had to help him walk. His skin was blotchy when pressed. The pediatrician recommended the child be scene in the emergency room. NYU Langone Medical Center has a stop Sepsis program which is used to screen patients in the ER for three symptoms of a possible eight. When the child was first admitted, he showed two signs - he was breathing 20 times per minute and his pulse was 143. The parents were not advised of these weak vital signs. Two hours later, the boy was diagnosed with the flu and dehydration. He was told to take Tylenol and go home. Before his actual discharge, the child’s temperature had risen to 102; the third warning sign, but release papers were already processed and signed. Again, his parents were not advised. A few hours after the family left the hospital, lab results showed the child was producing vast quantities of cells that combat bacterial infection, a warning sign of sepsis. The parents were never notified.

March 30: The child’s skin had turned blue around his nose and the most delicate touch to his skin caused significant pain. The pediatrician recommended the child return to the ER.

On April 1: Despite the excellent care by doctors (not the ones that treated the child on March 29), the child died of severe septic shock brought on by the infection. Bacteria had gotten into his blood, probably through the cut on his arm. Sadly, three specialists who chronicled the child’s decline in health discovered that on the March 29 when the boy was sent home, he had a fever and significant signs of infection in his blood; signs that should have been enough warning to not release the child.

When we seek medical care, we expect the medical professionals to take all necessary steps and precautions to protect our health and our lives. In an emergency situation, we expect those steps to be taken immediately. When doctors and other hospital employees fail to perform their duties, serious physical consequence and/or death can result. This case appears to be an example of a wrongful death resulting from emergency room negligence. If medical and hospital staff fails to exercise proper care and implement appropriate standards of care, we will continue to read about preventable and wrongful deaths.

The parents of this young child have contacted an experienced wrongful death attorney, but no lawsuit has yet to be filed. If the couple does pursue a claim, they may wish to seek litigation funding to help with financial needs - funeral expenses, medical bills, outstanding household bills and charges - as they try to adjust to life without their loved one.

A four-vehicle auto accident left one driver dead and another in critical condition in what is described as a complicated chain of events. A 48-year-old man rear-ended another vehicle pushing it into a ditch. After the driver of the second vehicle got out of his car, he was hit by a third vehicle before a fourth vehicle hit the third car involved in the accident. The driver of the first vehicle died at the scene; the driver of the second vehicle (the pedestrian) is in critical condition. The cause of the fatal accident is still unknown; police said construction crews were not working at the time of the accident.

This accident is a reminder how dangerous our roadways can be especially in construction zones. Tragedies like this also have a financial impact especially with the family's principal means of support gone.

Las Vegas police are currently investigating a five-vehicle accident that left one driver dead. The only known fact was obtained from witnesses - a 2002 Chevy Trailblazer ran a red light hitting a 2005 Toyota Corolla. The impact of the accident, forced the Corolla into a 2010 Nissan Rogue, pushing it into a light pole. Almost simultaneously, the Toyota then struck the front end of a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe and the Trailblazer struck a 2007 Nissan Sentra. The driver of the Corolla was pronounced dead at the scene and three other drivers were treated for minor injuries.

While police continue their investigation, the family of the deceased should contact an experienced auto accident attorney to understand their rights.

How can a plaintiff stay financially afloat without going into more debt with a personal bank loan? Lawsuit funding!

During a lawsuit, plaintiffs still have financial obligations. An insurance company knows this so the will engage in delay, deny, and defend tactics it in hopes that the plaintiff will settle for less than a fair settlement. Plaintiff will often times accept a low settlement because they don’t realize there are other options.

Litigation funding can be an easy solution to stabilizing the plaintiff’s finances until the case is settled and compensation received. It takes away the defense’s financial edge by allowing the plaintiff to make ends meet so that they can fight until they see a fair settlement.

If the plaintiff loses the case, the repayment is waived in its entirety. This means with pre-settlement funding there is nothing to lose. The application process is free and simple. Once approved, funds can be available in as little as 24 – 48 hours. If you or a loved one has suffered a personal injury or wrongful death and has filed a lawsuit, maintain your financial obligations with lawsuit funding.

Police are still investigating an auto accident that killed a 46-year-old woman. The accident occurred when the driver of a Nissan Maxima was making an unsafe attempt to pass a van.

According to witnesses, the man was traveling at a high rate of speed. He was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries, and later released to police on charges of vehicular homicide with gross negligence. The woman died at the scene.

The lawsuit alleged that when the trucker driver hit the vehicle when trying to improperly pass, causing the vehicle to spin out of control and hit the median and another vehicle. The Indian woman is wheelchair bound the rest of her life.

It took two years to obtain an award in this case; the lawsuit recently settled for $36.5 million, but no money has changed hands and the case is not over. The defendant says the award is not supported by the evidence and plans to ask for a new trial, and if denied will appeal. A new trial and potential appeal will result in significant delays, further uncertainty, and increased financial distress.

Lawsuits have continued to pile up alleging negligence on the part of truck driver and his employer stating that the truck driver ignored railroad crossing gates and warning signals.

An air tanker, Lockheed P2V, dropping retardant on a remote wildfire in Utah crashed killing both men on board. It appears that a wing tip hit the ground in a rocky canyon leaving a field of debris; the fragments that remained revealed few clues about the cause of the accident. The same day, another plane made an emergency landing when its left-side landing gear failed to deploy; no one was injured.

Investigators recently recovered a cockpit voice recorder and a black box that monitors engine performance and other mechanical systems. The black box was damaged and may not provide useful data, but the voice recorder was intact. Authorities will be looking into all potential causes of the accident, including weather, mechanical failure and pilot error. A complete investigation could take months.

The P2V planes, owned by Neptune Aviation Services, were built in 1962 and had been modified to fight fires. Although the P2-V planes are 50 years old, Forest Service Chief, Tom Tidwell said the tankers are safe. The Forest Service acknowledges the need for modernizing the fleet and has been working on plans for the next generation air tankers, but no decision has been reached. A contract was canceled last summer in a dispute over safety regulations that are still unresolved. This latest crash has renewed calls for the federal government to speed up efforts to modernize the nation's firefighting aircraft fleet.

The families of the victims may want to seek the advice of an experienced attorney who specializes in aircraft cases. If it is determined that this fatal accident was due to a mechanical failure, the families may seek compensation for their loss. Because of complexities inherent with most air tragedies, aircraft accident litigation can take a long time to resolve. During this time, the families of the deceased may suffer from the financial burden of funeral and burial expenses and lost income. Lawsuit Financial can provide cash now to pay bills while the wait for a fair settlement. Our lawsuit cash advances are not credit based and we have no employment or income requirements. We provide a lawsuit cash advance based solely on the merit of the case. There is also no risk because if there is no recovery from the lawsuit, there is no obligation to repay the cash advance. If you have lost a loved one in an airplane accident, contact the lawsuit funding experts at Lawsuit Financial.

A family filed a $3 million wrongful death lawsuit against the O'Hara Corp., Eastern Fisheries Inc., and R.C.P. Realty LLC in the death of a Gloucester fisherman. Guiseppe “Joe” Cracchiolo, a long-time fisherman, died in January 2011 after slipping off an icy ramp and falling 20 feet into the water at New Bedford Harbor when boarding the herring boat on which he was working; he died from exposure to the freezing temperatures.

The victim was one of two crew members staying with the ship. The men went out for the evening, but the other fisherman returned several hours earlier. A surveillance camera shows that crew member jumping onto a wooden landing and then walking up a ramp onto the boat. When the victim returned around 1 a.m., the same video camera showed him slipping off the narrow walkway and into the water. The man’s body was found about 7:30 a.m. by his crew mate.

Discovery is underway with a potential trial date of Sept. 24, but U.S. District Court Judge Douglas Woodlock recently accelerated the trial schedule because Mr. Cracchiolo's widow has been without income since her husband's death and laden with “heavy financial and medical difficulties," according the plaintiff’s attorney, Joseph Orlando.

The rights of fishermen are protected by the Jones Act, which makes boat owners responsible for the safety of their crews; they are obligated to alert employees about dangerous conditions. This case may be illustrative of the tactics that a corporate entity will resort to in order to cover up its own negligence and delay justice. They will deny, delay, and defend because their main goal is to protect profits. These tactics can often succeed because victims are so desperate for a settlement, that they are sometimes willing to accept a low settlement offer. Insurers know this, and therefore, we often see innocent people being forced to accept much lower than the case is worth.

It has, obviously, been a long, hard battle already for this family. We commend Judge Woodlock for expediting the trial and I wish the Cracchiolo family good luck in their pursuit of justice. Unfortunately, this woman has been financially strapped for over a year. Even with an expedited trial, there is no indication that this case will settle quickly or if the plaintiff is successful, the defendant won’t appeal. This case is indicative of previous advice provided at this location. Wrongful death cases are complicated, expensive, and time consuming; if litigation delays result in financial distress, a family such as this one often turns to a litigation funding company for financial assistance. A lawsuit cash advance against an expected settlement or award often sustains people, financially, who find themselves in this unfortunate situation. Lawsuit funding maybe used to pay urgent bills, funeral and burial expenses and other costs related to a loved one's death. With pressing bills and obligations out of the way, family members can provide the time necessary for an attorney to achieve appropriate justice and compensation in the case.

Litigation funding is based solely on the merits of the lawsuit; credit rating or job status does not matter. The application process is usually simple and if approved, the lawsuit cash advance is often available within 24 - 48 hours. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if the plaintiff loses the case, the lawsuit cash advance is excused; repayment is not required. So, if you find yourself in a similar situation as Mrs. Cracchiolo, consider lawsuit funding from an experienced legal funding company to help sustain yourself and your family through the litigation process.

A New Jersey man turned himself into police two days after a hit-and-run accident. A preliminary investigation shows that the man was driving a Nissan Xterra at an unsafe speed when he changed lanes in an attempt to exit the highway. The man stopped briefly after the accident, but then drove off. A 29-year-old passenger in the Mazda died at the hospital shortly thereafter; three others were injured.

The deceased victim’s family and those injured may consider filing a lawsuit against the negligent driver. If they retain a lawyer and are dealing with mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of wages, they may want to investigate litigation funding.

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. 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? Call Lawsuit Financial to learn how we may be able to help secure the money you need to pay bills while waiting for fair compensation.

A Texas family had just left a family gathering. They were stopped at a red light when a drunk driver, with a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit, rear-ended their vehicle. Their two-year-old son was strapped in his car seat, but the impact was so severe that the child suffered permanent damage to 80% of his brain. He will never stand, sit, walk, or speak again. He can’t even see his cake or the balloons that fill the room every year on his birthday, but his parents continue to celebrate in hopes that he can feel their love.

Three years after the auto accident, the family settled their lawsuit with Applebee’s for an undisclosed settlement. Why did the family sue Applebee’s for the negligence of a drunk driver? Under the Texas Dram Shop Act, victims and their families can hold commercial establishments accountable for injuries that result when they serve a customer that is obviously intoxicated to the point that the intoxicated person presents a clear danger to themselves and others. In order for the establishment to be held liable, the plaintiff must show proof that at the time the alcohol was served the patron who caused harm was obviously intoxicated. In this case, plaintiff showed proof via receipts that Applebee’s served this guy 23 drinks in less than two hours. No one could consume 23 drinks in 2 hours and not be visibly intoxicated.

Although a settlement was reached with Applebee’s the child’s parents are still awaiting justice. They have fought tirelessly to hold the drunk driver responsible for his negligent actions. But, despite the fact that the auto accident was three years ago, the criminal trial has been put on hold due to appeals. The intoxicated driver has seven previous DWI convictions in other states and a judge ruled that these convictions would only be admissible in a Texas court. The family is appealing the judge’s ruling.

The unfortunate, totally innocent child is permanently disabled; he will never be able to live the life of a normal child or care for himself. It took three years to obtain an award in this case, but no money has yet to change hands. This family has gone years with mounting medical bills and loss of income due to caring for this child. This is where lawsuit funding can help victims regain control of their lives and their finances. While waiting to obtain justice, litigation funding would allow the plaintiff to pay their medical bills and other important expenses. A lawsuit cash advance is risk-free; a non-recourse cash advance based on the successful outcome of a personal injury lawsuit. Since lawsuit funding is based on the merit of the case, credit and employment are irrelevant. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments, and the cash advance is only repaid if, and when the case successfully settles.

Legal finance services can be a life preserver in desperate financial times; it is easy to apply for either online or by phone. If approved, pre-settlement funding can often be place in an applicant's hands in as little as 24 hours. If you have been in a drunk driving auto accident and experiencing financial hardship, contact Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice litigation company. Don't let the insurance company victimize you again by forcing you to accept a low offer. Lawsuit Financial is here to give you a “staying power” advantage, pursue your lawsuit with confidence, and fight for the compensation you deserve. Before you settle for less than case value, contact Lawsuit Financial.

A night out with friends ended tragically for one University of Massachusetts graduate student. In route to pick up a friend for a party, the college student called a male friend stating she was having car trouble and could he look on his computer for an auto shop in the area. First, she said her car would not start, but later said it was “stuck.” Additionally, he found it unusual where the woman had broken down; it was no where near where she lived or was heading. When she called him a second time, the woman said that some people helped her and everything was fine. Roughly 15 minutes later, the young woman veered off the road and struck a telephone pole before the vehicle caught on fire. The fiery fire made it impossible to positively identify the woman, but an officer who arrived first at the scene said the vehicle was a Volvo station wagon. Proper identification is forthcoming.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation. Was there a defective vehicle part? Did the woman ignore a recall or ignore routine maintenance that made the vehicle dangerous to drive? Was she driving reckless and speeding or texting? These questions and more will take time to answer. What is known is that police received a report of a loud explosion in the area. The male friend said he drove the car the previous day and had no problems, but the check engine light was on. Additionally, the victim’s mother said her daughter had previous trouble with the vehicle; it was damaged when a tree fell on it during an October snowstorm and it had broken down in late November.

The victim’s family may have the right to seek compensation if it is determined that the accident resulted from a defective part or the negligence of an auto mechanic who previously repaired or maintained the vehicle. An auto accident attorney can ensure that the family's rights are protected, help determine who may be at fault, and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation. If after consulting with an attorney, the families file auto accident lawsuit, they should expect to face a long litigation process.

A California woman recently won a $22 million medical malpractice lawsuit against the Palo Alto Medical Foundation after a medical procedure left her a quadriplegic. The woman had suffered from migraines for years. During treatment in October 2006, doctors discovered an abnormal vein in her brain and ordered a cerebral angiogram, a procedure involved injecting dye into the vein. During the procedure, the woman suffered a stroke and went into a coma. She is now confided to a wheelchair, suffers from slowed speech, and requires round-the-clock care. A single mother of two, she can no longer work or provide for her children. Her annual medical care costs are estimated between $300,000 and $350,000.

This woman almost did not receive justice. An attorney originally turned down the case stating that it was not a winnable case. Another attorney took the case in 2008, but it was dismissed in 2010 with injustice, seeing it as a stroke case and too tough to win. With the help of a friend, the woman’s first attorney accepted the case after seeing that it was not just a post-stroke case. An appeal is predicted.

The plaintiff said she was fortunate for the financial help from her parents, but many innocent victims do not have financial support from family or friends. When that happens, lawsuit funding may be a viable option. Lawsuit funding is an emergency cash advance, designed to help plaintiffs financially during some of the most difficult times in their lives – ongoing surgery, disabilities, mounting medical bills; any significant changes in the quality of life due to the negligence of someone else – while waiting for a fair settlement.

The mother of a man who reportedly died of injuries sustained while working at a fire station construction site last year has filed suit against the victim’s employer. The suit alleges that the JC Stonewall Constructors did nothing to prevent the man from falling off metal cross beams at a job site. The plaintiff contends that the company failed to provide proper equipment to protect its employees. The defendant claims that it not only provided safety training to its employees, but also supervised all work sites. The defendant contends the employee lost his balance causing him to fall. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for funeral costs, loss of income, and physical and mental pain and suffering.

An investigation recently concluded that the bus driver was at fault in a Lakeland, Florida fatal pedestrian-bus accident in January 2011. A 14-year-old high school student was hit by the bus as she crossed the street. The bus approached the intersection making a left turn when the driver hit the teen. The girl was knocked to the ground and crushed by the rear wheels of the bus.

According to the investigation, the bus driver looked left, then right but failed to look left again before making the turn. This is when the child entered the crosswalk and was in the driver’s blind spot. The driver was cited for failing to yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian, but her actions did not warrant criminal charges because the driver was not reckless. She may face fines and lose her license for up to a year.

A man lost his family in a deadly auto accident last week when a SUV driven by his wife plunged into a ravine of a New York highway. The woman was traveling on the Bronx River Parkway when she hit the median on an overpass, bounced across three lanes and went airborne before plunging first across a low concrete barrier then over a guardrail 59 feet down into the ravine on the grounds of the Bronx Zoo. The driver and six passengers died, including three children. Police believe a blown tire may have been a contributing factor.

The accident was the second this year in which a vehicle plunged off the same stretch of the Bronx River Parkway. The Bronx River Parkway "lacks modern transportation engineering features," said Robert Sinclair, spokesman for the American Automobile Association's New York City affiliate. The group said the guardrail is inadequate and should be eliminated or rebuilt much higher so it can stop vehicles from being catapulted off.

Guardrails must be properly constructed, meet any safety specifications, be installed properly, and serve as an adequate barrier between lanes and the sides of roads. They protect drivers from dangerous curves especially for elevated roads and bridges, or where obstacles such as trees or poles are near the road. Guardrails may not prevent the accident, but they will usually minimize the severity of injuries.

There are still many unanswered questions in this ongoing investigation. The woman appears to have been driving well above the speed limit. Was she just keeping up with traffic? Did she lose control of the vehicle causing her to hit the median or did the tire blow first causing her to lose control? Would these family members be alive today if the guardrail was higher?

Serious injuries or death in an auto accident can leave the victim and his/her family with serious medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, income loss, and other expenses. There is no reason why a victim should bear the burden of all this without holding the responsible parties liable. Winning a wrongful death lawsuit resulting from a dangerous road accident involves proving the government was aware of a significant roadway danger, but failed to fix it. It can be a long legal process, but successful cases not only benefit the victims, but indirectly force changes in dangerous road conditions that can save lives - changes that might not otherwise occur at all.

Unfortunately, cases like this take years to settle. In that time, the victim’s family may be struggling to meet financial obligations due to the loss of income and other expenses as a result of these deaths. Lawsuit Financial may be able to help. If this family files a wrongful death lawsuit, we may be able to provide financial support while they wait for a settlement or other case case. Applying for legal funding is often the perfect solution. While waiting for the case to travel through the legal system toward resolution, pre-settlement funding can help with urgent financial issues and other necessities of life funding.

Lawsuit Financial charges no upfront fees and there are no monthly payments. The best part is that the cash advance is not paid back unless the plaintiff wins the case. It is easy to apply for pre-settlement funding by phone or online. Once approved, funds can be available within 24-48 hours by check or wire. Call Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) or visit our website at www.lawsuitfinancial.com. The call is free; the advice is priceless.

What went wrong in this fatal Texas auto-pedestrian accident? Although an auto accident reconstruction team has already begun gathering evidence, the investigation may take months. All that is known at this time is a man was walking across a multi-lane service road when he was hit by a Honda Civic. The pedestrian was pronounced dead at the hospital; the driver suffered minor injuries.

The driver said he did not see the man, but was he distracted, speeding, or fatigued? Did the pedestrian dart into traffic and the driver did not have time to stop?

No legal action can ever bring back a loved, but it is important that the victim’s family contact an experienced attorney to learn their rights. The attorney will work with the investigative team to reconstruct the accident. If the family files a lawsuit, the case could realistically take months, even years to settle because determining fault can often times be a complicated process. During that time, the family will be faced with additional expenses, such as funeral and burial expenses, resulting from their loss. A service called lawsuit funding may be able to help the family during this financially difficult time.

An experienced and reputable lawsuit funding company will provide the legal financial assistance the plaintiff needs to get through the litigation process without having to settle under severe financial distress. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments. In addition, a lawsuit cash advance does not require a credit check or employment history. The application process is quick and easy; upon approval funds can be available within 48 hours.

Avoid the trap of agreeing to settle too early for too little. Ask your attorney for advice on whether auto accident lawsuit funding would be the right move for your situation. Then, call Lawsuit Financial to learn how we may be able to help secure the money you need today.

Last August, National Grid was conducting a test drive with a six-wheel dump truck towing a backhoe on a flatbed trailer when the truck jackknifed causing the 17,000 pound backhoe to fall off the trailer and hit a van. After careening down a 20-foot embankment, the backhoe landed on top of the minivan. The driver of the van suffered a broken back and her two children were seriously injured; her mother was crushed to death. The driver of the truck was not injured. National Grid took the trucks out of service the day after the accident. The investigation is still ongoing.

Investigators are examining the dump truck for possible mechanical problems and if the backhoe-loader was properly secured to its trailer. Police are also looking into why the driver lost control and if he was at fault.

After the accident, National Grid admitted it was test-driving the truck because of safety concerns expressed by employees. Early last year, National Grid replaced its fleet of heavy, 10-wheeled service trucks with smaller, 6-wheeled trucks to tow heavy equipment. Soon thereafter, drivers began complaining that the new trucks were difficult to stop and control when traveling down hills, but the company directed the driver to perform the test drive on I-495 that busy Friday afternoon.

The family has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against National Grid and the driver claiming gross negligence. The suit contends that National Grid knew the combination was dangerous yet proceeded to perform the test drive. The lawsuit contends National Grid put out an internal memo warning that their new dump trucks had difficulty towing backhoes. The family is seeking unspecified monetary damages and safety reforms.

According to the plaintiff’s attorney, not only is the family struggling with the emotional and physical pain and suffering, but the mounting medical bills are also taking a toll.

Are you still waiting for your lawsuit to settle? Are you financially strapped for cash?
Are the bills piling up? If you could use CASH NOW, we can help!

Lawsuit Financial knows that waiting for your lawsuit to settle can be as stressful as the situation that caused the suit. Unfortunately, while your attorney is building your case, the bills don’t go away. When this happens, you may consider settling for a less than fair settlement because you need CASH NOW! This is exactly what the insurance companies hope you will do; it is part of their delay, deny, and defend tactics.

Insurance companies know that the longer they stall, the more desperate a plaintiff becomes. This is where Lawsuit Financial can help. After you complete a simple application, we will review your case. If approved, Lawsuit Financial will provide you with a cash advance against your lawsuit. There are no upfront fees, monthly payments, credit checks, or employment verification. The best part – the cash advance is on a non-recourse basis meaning it is only repaid if, and when, you win your case.

Here is an example of how it works:
A single mother of two was seriously injured in an auto accident when a truck driver fell asleep at the wheel. Mary suffered serious and disabling injuries; one of her children was killed. The woman was physically and emotionally unable to work, and unable to otherwise support herself and her case. She soon became financially desperate.

Mary consulted with, and ultimately hired an experienced auto accident attorney. Bills and expenses began to accrue and her house payments were several months behind. The insurance company offered Mary $500,000 to settle. Desperate for cash, she asked her attorney to accept the low-ball offer. This is exactly what the insurance company was counting on. Fortunately, Mary’s attorney advised against an early settlement and referred her to Lawsuit Financial. We carefully reviewed the case and recommended a series of advances; the first advance of $5,000 was wired to her account within 48 hours. Less than a year later, the case resolved for $2.1 million.

With the help of Lawsuit Financial, Mary was able to stay financially afloat and hold out for the settlement she deserved. She did not have to pay back any of the lawsuit cash advance until her case settled. Had Mary lost her case, she would have owed us nothing. That’s because obtaining litigation funding from Lawsuit Financial is risk-free.

If you filed a lawsuit, don't let the “waiting game” jeopardize your finances and credit. Now you can play the “game” with the insurance company and get the money you deserve. To learn more, call or visit us online for a no-obligation consultation.

A wrongful death and injury lawsuit has been filed as a result of the Valero Refinery explosion in which a subcontractor was killed and two others were severely burned. On March 6, the men were told to block off a flare line located on a two-story platform. When they removed the bolts from the flare flange a large flash fire erupted. The intensity of the fire knocked two of the men 50 feet. Another worker was knocked off of the flare platform; he was still on fire when he hit the ground. The cause of the explosion has not yet been determined.

The lawsuit alleges severe and gross negligence – failure to ensure there were no hazardous or flammable gases in the flare line and failure to provide timely firefighting assistance. The suit contends that the valve leading the flare assembly was leaking and allowing hydrocarbons to build up in the work area, and that it took more than ten minutes before the burn victims received help. The lawsuit also claims that the fire was the third at the refinery in less than two years. In a recent hearing, a judge denied the plaintiff’s motion to shut down the refinery so the valve could be removed and tested.

Sadly accidents and tragedies like this cause serious and life-threatening injuries and rob us of our loved ones. In addition to the emotional and physical pain, these families may suffer financially. In cases such as this, where the plaintiff appears to have a strong case, filing a lawsuit and waiting out the litigation process can take years. For those struggling financially to pay medical expenses, funeral expenses, and other bills, this time can be more difficult. A financially strapped plaintiff may even consider accepting a low settlement offer. Financial issues can largely be eliminated with lawsuit funding.

Litigation funding is based solely on the merits of the lawsuit; credit rating or job status does not matter. The application process is simple and if approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be available within 24 - 48 hours. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if the plaintiff loses her case, the “lawsuit loan” is excused; repayment is not required. If you have filed a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit and need financial assistance during the litigation process, call Lawsuit Financial for a free, no-obligation consultation.

An Oregon jury ruled that an engine problem caused a 2008 helicopter accident that killed nine firefighters during a wildfire in Northern California. The chopper was airborne less than a minute when it clipped a tree and fell from the sky, bursting into flames.

The jury reached its verdict after a pilot who survived the accident and a widow who lost her husband filed a $177 million suit against General Electric. The lawsuits alleged that GE knew for at least six years that there was a problem with a fuel control valve on the engine. GE argued that the helicopter crashed because it was carrying too much weight after picking up the firefighters. Although the National Transportation Safety Board concluded in 2010 that too much weight and a lack of oversight caused the crash, the jury placed 57% of the blame on GE, but also found the helicopter's owner and its manufacturer partially at fault. GE plans to appeal.

Because helicopter accident lawsuits are extremely complex and can take years before compensation is paid, a plaintiff may secure a legal advance against their case. Had these victims approached Lawsuit Financial for lawsuit funding, we would have provided them with a non-recourse cash advance; the only collateral is the pending lawsuit. If the lawsuit is successful (and in this case, it was) we are repaid our case invested principal and risk adjusted profit out of case proceeds. If the case fails, we lose our money. If the case resolves at significantly less than predicted case value, we provide an appropriate compromise. The goal of lawsuit financing is to help victims through the litigation process, without having pressing bills and expenses effect the value of their case. Someone desperate for money will, almost always, settle his/her case for less than appropriate value. Strategic lawsuit financing will often prevent this from happening and will, in this scenario, pay for itself with increased case proceeds.

If you are involved in a helicopter crash lawsuit and considering a settlement that is much lower than the value of your case, contact Lawsuit Financial. We work with plaintiffs that are not in a financial position to wait for a fair settlement offer. Visit us online or call us, toll free, at 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) for a free analysis of your case funding situation. The call and advice are free.

Four Twin Cities college students lost their lives when the vehicle they were riding in crashed during a snowstorm. All four girls were attended North Dakota State University.
The foursome were heading back to college after a three-day holiday weekend when the driver slid off a snow-covered Highway 94 and went through the median into oncoming traffic, colliding head-on with an SUV. All four girls were wearing seat belts.

An investigation is ongoing to determine if speed or driver distraction played a role in this fatal accident, but the question many are asking is whether a cable barrier would have saved these young adults.

Guard rails are something most people don't think about until it saves their life or they loss a loved one. They may not prevent the accident, but they will usually minimize the severity of injuries. Even when an accident occurs, a driver running into a median barrier is most often slowed dramatically and does not cross into oncoming traffic.

Agencies that design and maintain roads and highways have a continuing duty to ensure that dangerous conditions will not imperil motorists exercising reasonable care. Although drivers may be distracted, skid or slid due to adverse weather conditions, or merely driving carelessly, failure to avoid foreseeable events from turning tragic is a form of negligence. Drivers have a right to expect that their government won't allow dangerous roads to cause accidents. The Minnesota Department of Transportation said that because placement of barriers cost upwards of $150,000 per mile to install, placement is based on traffic volume, the number of accidents, and the average speed of drivers. The stretch of Highway 94 where this accident occurred is considered a low-volume area of the highway. But, accidents can, and do, happen everywhere; barriers do make a difference.

I do not know if the families of these victims have filed a wrongful death lawsuit, but I do know that dangerous road cases take a long time to prove the government was aware of a significant roadway danger, but failed to fix it. The government bodies controlling the roads have strong defenses put in place by the government itself. Proving a dangerous roadway caused an auto accident can be a long legal process and difficult to prove, but successful cases not only benefit the victims, but indirectly force changes in dangerous road conditions that can save lives - changes that might not otherwise occur at all.

Lawsuit Financial understands that auto accident lawsuits can be hard fought and take months, even years to settle.

It was a rainy September day in 2010, when a construction crew was working on the unfinished Revel casino project in Atlantic City. Three men were responsible for collecting concrete in metal buckets as the concrete was brought up from the ground.

Suddenly the sky grew darker and the winds became stronger; lightning could be seen in the distance. The men feared for their safety, and wanted to seek shelter, but the concrete kept coming despite potential danger. The foreman said supervisors delivered rain jackets and told the workers they must continue despite the weather.

Finally, the three men decided to empty one last bucket before quitting even if it meant losing their jobs. But, it was one bucket too late. A bolt of lightning streaked through the sky, striking an 800-foot-tall metal crane running along the side of the building. One worker was gripping a metal bucket at the time. He was killed instantly leaving behind a wife and two small children. The other two workers were struck by lightning, but survived. Why? Because these greedy corporations decided that the already delayed $2.4 billion casino project was more important than employee safety.

OSHA fined Network Construction $3,000 for violating federal regulations that state when a local storm warning has been issued, safety personnel must determine whether personnel and equipment must be secured. The victim’s widow has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Tishman Construction Corporation and its subcontractor. The suit claims that the companies were careless, negligent, and reckless in failing to warn workers of the thunderstorm and forcing them to work in dangerous conditions. It claims the companies had ample warning that dangerous conditions were looming and should have ceased work until the weather cleared. The suit contends that contractors refused to jeopardize the scheduled opening date at the risk of its employees. The foreman and the other worker have filed separate lawsuits.

The purpose of a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit is to provide compensation to innocent victims; it is a means to hold negligent corporations accountable to repay the injured party for their injuries or their loved ones for their loss. After retaining an attorney, seeking justice may place a financial burden on these victims and their family.

Two years ago, a man was killed while working on an oil rig in North Dakota. He was installing floor plates on the rig floor when he was crushed by a bridle line and equalizer. His wife was told it was a “fluke accident.” After a thorough investigation by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the victim’s wife has filed a wrongful death lawsuit claiming that Nabors Drilling USA did not ensure safe conditions and is responsible for the death of her husband.

This accident illustrates the tragic consequences that can result when workers are not protected from preventable hazards.

The driver of a Ford Taurus is in critical condition after slamming into a Chicago Transit Authority bus, killing his passenger. Ten passengers on the bus were not injured. An initial investigation determined the driver of the Taurus was speeding and driving under the influence of alcohol. He was also cited for reckless and negligent driving in inclement weather.

Plans will be implemented this summer to install a traffic signal at 1500 South State Street in Salt Lake City, Utah. Unfortunately, it will be too late for a six-year-old child. The little girl and her mother were crossing the street when they were struck by an automobile and thrown several yards. A witness said the vehicle appeared to be “wobbling” severely just before hitting the pedestrians and it may have had a mechanical problem. The little girl died the next day; her mother remains hospitalized.

Was the driver distracted? Was there a mechanical failure or defect? While all the details of this pedestrian-auto accident won’t be known until the investigation is complete, witnesses said that the intersection has always been dangerous especially because it is near a school zone. The traffic light has been in the planning stages for nearly a year.

No matter how this investigation concludes, the family should seek legal advice from an experienced attorney as soon as possible. They may be able to receive compensation for the wrongful death of this child and claim damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and other damages if her mother survives. A personal injury attorney will help determine if a government entity was responsible for failing to fulfill its obligations of making the intersection safer, if the automobile manufacturer was responsible for a defective part, and/or if the accident was due to drive negligence.

Wrongful death and serious injury accidents often cause immediate and long-term financial problems for victims and families.

This service, known as lawsuit funding, helps plaintiffs pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and ongoing monthly bills during the litigation process. It is easy to apply for a lawsuit cash advance online or by phone and there are no costs or fees associated with the application.

Where else can you obtain a “risk-free lawsuit loan”? If approved, the lawsuit cash advance would arrive within 24-48 hours by check or by wire. Litigation funding can mean the difference between settling for less too early and waiting for a fair judgment later.

A 21-year-old Valley Falls, Kansas man was in a fatal auto accident after his vehicle drifted into oncoming traffic and struck a semi-tractor trailer head on. The driver of the semi was unharmed; a passenger in the semi was treated for minor injuries. An investigation is ongoing, but it appears that the man fell asleep behind the wheel.

This accident illustrates how tiredness and fatigue can affect one’s driving; it impairs alertness and response time and is as dangerous as distracted drivers. Although tiredness and fatigue are common in long-distance truck drivers and third-shift workers, it is a concern for any driver who lacks the proper amount of sleep. It is important to recognize these signs BEFORE getting behind the wheel.

• frequent yawning and blinking
• crossing over the median or in another lane
• variation of speed and breaking too late
• misjudging traffic situations
• closing eyes for brief moments or eyes going out of focus

One of the most common causes of auto accidents on our roadways is fatigue. Being fatigued makes us less alert to what is happening on the road and less able to react quickly and safely if a dangerous situation arises. If you drive when you're drowsy, you're putting yourself, your passengers, and others at risk. The only reliable defense against driver fatigue is uninterrupted sleep for at least six to nine hours each night. Driving when fatigued may not be illegal, but it can be lethal.

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.

Diesel fuel was strew over crash site after a semi-truck careened down a steep incline of Interstate 95 and crashed into a wooded area at the bottom of an embankment. Police found the driver incoherent behind the wheel; a passenger in the back of the mangled cab barely identifiable. Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to remove the man from the cab; he died shortly thereafter.

Police are still investigating why the driver lost control. Was it a medical condition? Was it Fatigue? Was there a defective product or faulty equipment? Was the truck properly maintained?

A Colorado man was crushed to death, buried under 15 – 20 feet of pinto beans. The accident occurred at a Kelly Bean Co. warehouse. It took 50 rescuers about an hour to dig the body from the pile, but they were unable to save the 56-year-old man. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Did the employer fail to provide a safe workplace and working conditions; conditions that posed a risk of serious injury or death? Did the company have up-to-date training and safety procedures in place? When was the last inspection and safety check? Was there a worksite disaster plan in place? If Kelly Bean Co. failed to do so, they may be held liable for this workplace fatality. The family of the deceased may want to contact an experience attorney to determine their rights to seek compensation.

Under the workers' compensation system, an employee agrees not to sue the employer in exchange for the right to collect workers' compensation benefits (primarily the payment of medical bills and wages) while recovering from injuries. This is usually a no-fault system; regardless of whether the worker was negligent or not, he/she may collect workers compensation benefits. In trade for this no-fault system, the worker gives up the right to a trial by jury and the right to sue the employer for pain and suffering. But, many people think that the receipt of workers compensation prevents, in all cases, the possibility of a lawsuit for pain and suffering. That is not always the case.

Unfortunately, cases like this tend to take a long time from lawsuit commencement to lawsuit resolution; litigants/family members, struggling to make ends meet after losing a family member and dealing with funeral and burial expenses, may wish to consider applying for lawsuit funding. This is a service that provides a lawsuit cash advance to people involved in pending lawsuits. The main purpose of this legal finance service is to prevent cash-strapped litigants from settling their valuable cases too soon, for too little, because they need cash now. If this family pursues a claim against Kelly Bean Co. and are in need of cash now to pay mounting expenses, it may be worth it to explore the litigation funding option.

Litigation funding will handle these expenses for you and allow you wait for justice; victims no longer need to accept an inadequate settlement because they need cash now. Lawsuit funding is available online; find out if it is the answer for your situation or circumstance.

A wrongful death lawsuit was recently settled against a Chicago adult day care center and two other corporate defendants for $1.2 million. The case alleged that an 87-year-old man was left alone at the front of the day care center waiting for bus transportation back to his home. When the man attempted to board the bus, he fell and hit his head resulting in a serious brain injury. He died five days later.

In addition to facility’s failure to supervise the man, it was determined that the fall was also caused in part by an inadequately designed and unsafe curb ramp which violated building codes and posed clear risks of serious harm.

An adult day care is typically for providing health care services to seniors with a disability or illness who need partial or supplemental care and companionship during the day; not around-the-clock care. These centers are also offer social activities and meals. These adults need care as much as a child in a daycare setting.

The parents of a teen who died after losing oxygen during a wisdom tooth surgery has filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the anesthesiologist and the oral surgeon alleging that they were negligent for failing to resuscitate the teen after her heart rate slowed to a “panic level” of 40 beats per minute and her body began losing oxygen. As a result, their daughter suffered “massive and irreversible brain injury” ultimately leading to her death ten days later. The Chief Medical Examiner determined that the cause of death was deprivation of oxygen while under anesthetic.

A construction worker died from carbon monoxide poisoning at an Iowa construction site in December 2010 after he entered a building in which gasoline-powered generators had been running for at least two days without proper ventilation. The 55-year-old man went into the building to refuel generators used to heat the concrete floor to prevent cracks; his wife found him dead about one hour later. The co-owner of Rotert Construction said he thought the building was safely ventilated because the roof wasn’t insulated.

The family of the victim has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that the co-owner was “grossly negligent” when he asked her husband to refuel the generators. His wife said an investigator told her that “Rotert’s indoor use of the generator was a serious workplace safety violation, and that carbon monoxide levels were still dangerously high inside the building the day after her husband’s death.” The family seeks unspecified damages for funeral costs, loss of income, and physical and mental pain and suffering.

Tragedies like this also have a financial impact and the family's principal mean of support is gone. This worker's widow will likely experience significant financial problems, not only from lack of support for her regular bills and expenses, but, also from funeral and burial expenses. During the litigation process, the family may want to consider lawsuit funding. A lawsuit cash advance would help his widow with necessary financial obligations until her case settles.

Litigation funding is based solely on the merits of the lawsuit; credit rating or job status does not matter. The application process is simple and if approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be available within 24 - 48 hours. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if the plaintiff loses her case, the “lawsuit loan” is excused; repayment is not required. If you have filed a wrongful death lawsuit and need financial assistance during the litigation process, call Lawsuit Financial.

The cause of the accident remains under investigation.

A West Virginia man recently filed a $2 million lawsuit against at least 15 defendants in the 2010 wrongful death of his 43-year-old wife. The woman was admitted to the Winchester Medical Center (WMC) after complaining of severe stomach pain. She died three days later.

The wrongful death lawsuit alleges that the woman entered the emergency room in "excruciating abdominal pain”, but it took the ER doctors eight hours to order a CAT scan of her abdomen. The suit contends that WMC did not have a trained and qualified radiologist on-site to read or interpret the CT scans, so they were sent off-site for overnight interpretation. The suit further alleges that the scan, consisting of 230 slices of data, was read by the doctor in about eight minutes and again the next morning by an on-site radiologist. In both cases, findings were reported as normal.

Further allegations state that the patient was improperly administered sedatives that delayed diagnostic tests. Only after her condition worsened, doctors went down her throat at which time they discovered there was little blood flow to her stomach, a condition known as mesenteric ischemia. An additional test showed that all three major arteries from her heart were completely blocked; surgery was immediately performed, but it was too late. Every visceral organ such as the liver, pancreas, gallbladder, intestines and colon — were black and necrotic; the “foul stench” was overwhelming.

According to the plaintiff’s attorney, Daniel James, this tragic case may take up to three years to get to either a Winchester, Va., or Martinsburg, W.Va., court.” If you or someone you love has paid for a doctor’s negligence, if you are living with consequences of a misdiagnosis, or if a loved one died because of a doctor’s negligence, it may be important to contact a medical malpractice attorney.

The daughter of a Tennessee woman has filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that her mother died from gastrointestinal bleeding caused by the blood thinner, Pradaxa, an anticoagulant, claimed to be a superior alternative to Coumadin for prevention of strokes among individuals with atrial fibrillations.

As of November 2011, there were 260 confirmed Pradaxa deaths, with 120 of those deaths reported in the U.S. This suit is believed to be the first lawsuit filed against Pradaxa in the U.S. According to the lawsuit, the woman began taking Pradaxa in January 2011. She was hospitalized with gastrointestinal bleeding two months later; within three months of taking Predaxa she died. The lawsuit, which is one of nearly one hundred deaths in question due to patients hemorrhaging and bleeding after taking Pradaxa, claims that the drug maker failed to adequately warn doctors and their patients about the risks of gastrointestinal bleed, and failed to instruct doctors on how to handle bleed events.

A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed against a nursing home allegedly neglecting to properly care for a patient. The plaintiff said his brother’s condition worsened because the nursing staff and administrators’ negligence and eventually led to hospitalization and loss of life. The Center denies the allegations.

The victim was a resident from December 2008 until his death in October 2010. He was admitted at 65years of age after being diagnosed with multiple conditions, including Alzheimer’s disease, dementia, emphysema, anxiety, memory problems and seizure disorder. He also needed help with mobility and eating. The lawsuit alleges that while the man was at the facility, he suffered from abuse, neglect, infection, contractions, dignity violations, and mental anguish. The lack of care by the medical staff resulted in pressure sores that became infected, ultimately leading to his death. A recent health inspection cited the center for failing to prevent the spread of infection and problems with hand washing by the nursing staff. The plaintiff seeks compensatory and punitive damages to be determined by a jury.

Often times, "neglect or abuse" results from the simple lack of interest by nursing home staff. Failure to provide residents with the basic needs is a form of neglect that can lead to more serious forms of illnesses, diseases and medical conditions. Bed sores are a typical example of conditions that are relatively easy to prevent but far too common in many nursing centers. Bed sores form from inactivity, the thinning of skin, poor circulation, and malnutrition.

When placing a loved one in the care of a nursing home, it is expected that the resident will receive quality care. Unfortunately, nursing home negligence and abuse are all too common. If a loved one suffered physical or emotional injuries because an assisted living facility or nursing home was negligent or failed to fulfill its care obligations, you may have grounds for a nursing home negligence case.

Family members of two workers killed last April when an equalization basin wall holding untreated sewage collapsed on them at the Gatlinburg Wastewater Treatment Plant have filed wrongful death lawsuits against the city of Gatlinburg.

Six months later, safety officials announced their investigation concluded that there were no safety violations and blame the accident on a deficiency in the basin’s concrete wall construction. The workers were killed when the basin's east wall collapsed on top of a flow control building they were working in. The families filed separate lawsuits seeking $17 million in compensation from Gatlinburg and the engineers and contractors who worked on the basin that failed.

Last week, crews were working to demolish the 30-foot-high basin when a worker was fatally struck from behind by loose dirt and rock. No lawsuit has been filed at this time.

Everyone has the right to a safe workplace and working conditions that don’t pose a risk of serious injury or death. In cases with severe and long lasting injuries, the compensation might not be enough to cover all expenses. Additionally, some people may be unable to receive their benefits for one reason or another leaving the victim with a huge financial burden. In times such as this, it's important to seek experienced legal counsel. Attorneys who have experience in this area of the law will be able to help a victim or their loved ones achieve a fair settlement.

Unfortunately, cases like this tend to take a long time from lawsuit commencement to lawsuit resolution; litigants/family members, struggling to make ends meet after losing a family member and dealing with funeral and burial expenses, may wish to consider applying for lawsuit funding. This is a service that provides a lawsuit cash advance to people involved in pending lawsuits. The main purpose of this legal finance service is to prevent cash-strapped litigants from settling their valuable cases too soon, for too little, because they need cash now.

Litigation funding is based on the quality of the case, not on the credit standing of the plaintiff. Used strategically, lawsuit funding will not only solve a plaintiff's immediate financial problems, but it will increase the value of his/her case. For a free, no obligation consultation, call Lawsuit Financial or visit us online. Legal funding may make a substantial difference in the bottom line of your case.

Police are investigating a fatal auto accident in Sandusky, Ohio in which the driver was so badly burned that at first authorities could not identify the person’s gender. His body has been released to the County Coroner to identify the man through dental records. Officers said the vehicle, a Ford F-150 pick-up truck, went off the road, through a yard, and struck a tree. The truck then spun and crashed into a house; the truck and house both caught on fire. The driver and one passenger were ejected from the vehicle. The passenger died at a local hospital. Five people were in the home at the time of the accident; no one was injured.

The driver and passenger were not wearing seat belts. Police are still investigating to determine how fast the truck was traveling, but speed is definitely a factor. It is unknown at this time if drugs or alcohol were involved.

In Hicksville Township, Ohio a similar auto accident took place the same morning. The driver went off the road hitting a mailbox, utility pole, and two trees. The driver and one passenger died at the scene; the driver was not wearing a seat belt. Speed appears to be a factor in this auto accident; alcohol may also have played a role.

Most accident victims do not file a lawsuit, but rather file an insurance claim. The settlement is negotiated with the insurance company, but insurance companies will typically withhold as much money as possible. What happens if the victim or their family doesn’t feel they are receiving fair compensation? Victims need to know their rights; hiring an auto accident attorney can help explain those rights and recover a fair settlement.

If an injured victim or the family of a lost loved one pursues a lawsuit, and are in a financial position where immediate cash is needed to pay bills, lawsuit funding may be an option. Lawsuit funding is a valuable service that offers a better solution than settling a case for less than it is worth.

The driver of a Jeep struck and killed a motorcyclist in 2008. After the accident, he gave his driver’s license to a bystander saying he had to take his children home and would be right back. When he returned to the scene, the man told police that he drank two shots of rum at home to calm his nerves.

During the investigation, police learned that the man may have been drunk prior to the fatal accident. He had attended a party where it is believed that he told a group of guests that if you are drinking and driving and get into an accident, you should leave your license at the scene. He told them if they are close to home or a bar, take a couple of shots and return to the scene; no one can prove if you drank before or after the accident, and leaving your license means that you haven't “technically” left the scene of the accident.

No legal action can ever bring back a loved one killed in an auto accident, but it is more devastating when justice is forestalled by a driver who refuses to take responsibility for his/her carelessness and negligence. 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. An attorney will ensure you get fair and equitable compensation for your devastating injuries.

A Chicago man died in an auto accident on Sunday morning when the Hyundai he was driving slammed into the back of semi-tractor trailer. The vehicle became wedged under the truck. The driver of the semi was stopped at a traffic light and did not initially realize he had been hit; he thought his load had shifted in his trailer. The driver of the Hyundai died at the scene. The cause of death was trauma to the head, but an autopsy also showed that he had blood clots in his lungs, which may have caused him to black out. Two passengers were extricated from the vehicle. Both were treated at the hospital where one remains in critical condition.

The driver of the Hyundai was either traveling too fast or did not attempt to stop; there is no evidence showing that the Hyundai skidded or slowed before it rear-ended the semi-tractor trailer. Police found open alcohol containers in the Hyundai, leading them to believe that alcohol may have been a factor although an investigation is ongoing to determine the speed of the Hyundai at the time of the accident and if there was any equipment failure.

Did the driver have a medical condition such as pulmonary embolism that went undiagnosed or untreated? Was he driving under the influence of alcohol at the time of the accident? These questions and more may take time to answer. In the meantime, the injured victims and their families may choose to speak to an experienced auto accident attorney to protect their rights.

Pharmacy errors can happen when the wrong dose of a prescription is given or when the wrong medication is given. Recently another lawsuit was filed against Walgreens for dispensing the wrong medication.

A Louisville, KY woman’s estate filed a wrongful-death lawsuit against the drugstore and one of its pharmacists, claiming the woman died as the result of receiving the wrong prescription. According to the suit, the woman had suffered from high blood pressure, congestive heart failure and kidney failure.

The lawsuit alleges that the woman presented a prescription to Walgreens for Hydralazine, a high blood pressure medication, but instead received an antihistamine, Hydroxyzine. Her condition went untreated for two weeks before the error was discovered. Although the pharmacy substituted the correct medication, it was too late. The suit seeks compensatory and punitive damages as well as a jury trial.

Some medications have similar names (Hydralazine and Hydroxyzine) or similar packaging, which can lead to a pharmacist or other medical professional carelessly giving a patient the wrong medication. Sometimes the wrong medication is given because the pharmacist was in a hurry and didn’t double check, the medication was shelved wrong, the doctor prescribed the wrong medication, or the patient was given another patient’s medication. If you believe you or someone you love has been the victim of a prescription error or medication mistake, 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 or wrongful death, litigation funding may be the answer to help you through these times. No amount of money will ever replace a loved one, but lawsuit funding can help financially through the most difficult times. It is a means to assist with your financial burdens while your lawyer seeks appropriate justice.

A $7 million verdict was awarded to the widow of a Tampa police veteran killed in a motorcycle accident. The Officer was killed in May 2008 when a county employee turned his pick-up truck into the path of the off-duty officer’s motorcycle. The truck driver said he never saw the motorcycle. The family offered to settle with the county for $2 million – the maximum amount covered by the county's insurance policy, but the county refused electing to go to trial.

It took almost four years to obtain appropriate justice in this case. The plaintiff’s attorney asked for $5.1 million. Ultimately, the jury felt the case was worth more and once learning there was not damages cap, awarded the plaintiff $7 million.

The county has 30 days to file an appeal. An appeal will result in further delays, further uncertainty, and increased financial distress. Appeal or not, it could be years before the family sees any of the money because the award exceeds the county’s insurance policy.

Lawsuits are expensive; the majority of injured people who make claims do not have significant assets. Defendants, typically, do not have this problem. Someone who causes an accident turns the matter over to a billion dollar insurance company; the insurance company likes to hold on to its money, keeping it invested, making more and more money. It engages in frivolous defenses, anything that will prolong the litigation and make the plaintiff more desperate to settle for less. Even in cases where the defendant is obviously at fault, the insurance company will “delay, deny, confuse and refuse”. The plaintiff, on the other hand, spends thousands of dollars and years in litigation to negate a frivolous defense.

Litigation funding may have helped this family during the lawsuit and a potential appeal. It is an emergency cash advance, designed to help the plaintiff financially – paying medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, mortgage rent, car payments – while awaiting a lawsuit settlement. Applying for a lawsuit cash advance requires one to simply complete an application online or call our office. If the application is approved, your pre-settlement funding proceeds are in your hands within 24 - 48 hours.

A professional volleyball player was competing in a tournament at the Huntington Beach pier in June 2010, when she dove for a ball and landed on a large piece of wood hidden in the sand. She suffered a severe leg injury that kept her from finishing the tournament and the season.

Last month, the woman filed a lawsuit against the city of Huntington Beach and the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. The suit alleges that the city and AVP did not dredge the courts along the playing surface to ensure there was no debris or foreign objects hidden below the sand that could cause injury to the players. The lawsuit was filed after a claim against the city for $10,000 was denied.

In determining a property owner's "reasonableness," the law concentrates on whether the owner makes regular and thorough efforts to keep the property safe and clean. Did the city and AVP take precautions to make the property safe for the players?

Typically, the kinds of damages that may be recovered are medical expenses, physical therapy, rehabilitation, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Unfortunately, these types of cases often take far too long to achieve a settlement; these cases are usually highly contested on both damages and liability.

It is difficult to wait months, sometimes years, to get the settlement you deserve. Lawsuit Financial levels the playing field by advancing cash to cover a plaintiff’s pressing financial needs. We understand the financial strains associated with a lawsuit; bills must still be paid and sometimes it is more difficult if there are additional burdens due to medical treatment and being out of work. A lawsuit cash advance is money advanced to you in anticipation of a potential settlement or verdict. It should be used carefully, for serious needs, like mortgage or rent payments, car payments or medical expenses. This financial assistance might be just what you need to avoid resolving your valuable case too soon, for too little. Call Lawsuit Financial or visit us online to learn more.

A St. Joseph, MO mother received a closure to some degree when an out-of-court settlement was reached with a school bus company accused of killing her son. The lawsuit alleged that the bus driver was negligent and driving too fast. It also claimed that she failed to yield to a pedestrian, and that the bus company hired an unqualified driver.
The case was settled for $5 million.

After the settlement was reached, a video of the morning accident was released. It shows the bus with foggy and icy windows. Before a bus driver can begin his/her route, a pre-trip inspection is required which normally take 8 to 10 minutes. This November morning, the bus driver completed her inspection in approximately 30 seconds. Allegedly, she was running late and did not take the time to scrape the windshield. With her vision possibly impaired by the fog and ice, the bus driver began her route. She hit the 16-year-old while he was in a crosswalk on his way to school.

The mother of the victim said she waited over a year for an apology and admission of fault. The bus company has also agreed to allow the woman to speak at driver trainings to instill in drivers that they cannot cut corners when driving these buses.
The vast majority of wrongful death cases take longer than this one. Insurance companies are notorious for their "delay, deny, confuse and refuse" strategy. However, even considering this sobering fact, damage recovery does not always require you to go to trial and receive a jury verdict.

If you were injured or lost a loved one in a bus accident, it is important to contact an attorney to help recover compensation for your loss. Whether you settle in court or out of court, victims 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, food, utilities, gas, car payments, medical expenses, funeral expenses, etc) to reduce your financial pressures. 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. Lawsuit funding is the perfect solution for someone who has a valuable case and is considering settling too soon, for too little compensation.

Pre-settlement funding is not for everyone, but in many cases, it provides a strategic advantage for the victim because it gives them leverage against the insurance company; it prevents the plaintiff from being forced to take inadequate offers from greedy carriers. Don’t settle for pennies on the dollar; get lawsuit funding and a fair and just equitable award or settlement. The application process is quick and easy; with Lawsuit Financial, the process can take as little as 24 – 48 hours. There are no fees to apply, no credit check, no job requirement, no payments to make. And, if you lose the case, you keep the money free of charge. Call or visit us online to learn more about our no risk litigation funding.

A Columbia, MO man was seriously injured in multiple accidents on the same day. The 31-year-old man was driving his 1992 Chevrolet northbound in the southbound lane when his vehicle collided with a Missouri Department of Transportation snowplow removing about an inch of snow from the roadway. The extent of his injuries are unclear, but apparently he then walked about a quarter mile north in the southbound roadway, only to be struck by a vehicle. He continued walking and in less than five minutes was hit head again, this time head-on by a tractor trailer. The man was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. An investigation of the accident is ongoing. There is no confirmation whether alcohol played a part, if the man was suffering from a medical condition, or if he was merely trying to seek help after the first accident.

This accident will require a detailed investigation. Determining fault can sometimes be a complicated process. Insurance companies will try to reach a quick settlement and limit recovery to the lowest possible amount. The last thing this family wants to deal with is the legal and financial issues, but it is important to avoid the trap of agreeing to settle too early for too little.

The victim and his family may have the right to seek compensation if it is determined that one or all the other driver’s were negligent. An auto accident attorney can ensure that the family's rights are protected, help determine who may be at fault, and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and other damages related to this pedestrian accident.

While the family may eventually receive a financial settlement to compensate them for their loss, they may experience a shortfall in their finances that could lead to a significant financial hardship. If this happens, the family may benefit from a lawsuit cash advance known as lawsuit funding.

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 provides plaintiffs with financial assistance in advance of an expected settlement or verdict. This legal finance removes the financial pressure to settle too early for too little compensation, and allows the plaintiff to continue with the litigation process until justice is served. Pre-settlement funding can be available within 24- 48 hours. There are no application fees, credit checks, employment history verifications, or monthly payments. Call Lawsuit Financial or visit us online for more information or to complete an application.

The family of an Arkansas teenager who died in August after being hit by a tractor-trailer has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the truck driver and his employer. The lawsuit alleges that the driver of the tractor-trailer was talking on a cell phone shortly before the accident, but had dropped the phone and reached down to retrieve it when he hit the teen. The family is seeking compensation for past and future mental anguish.

According to the police report, the 16-year-old was a passenger in a Toyota Camry that was involved in an earlier accident with a pick-up truck. Police believe the teen may have been walking back to the vehicle when she was hit by the tractor trailer. The portion of the highway where the accident occurred was under construction at the time.

Dealing with the death of a loved one is never easy. When the death is sudden and unexpected, it can be even more difficult. If you have suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one due to an auto accident, you may be entitled to medical care, lost wages, and damages due to your loss. It is important to seek the advice of an experienced attorney to learn whether you are entitled to compensation.

Once the litigation process begins, the road to justice can drag on for years. Often times, plaintiffs struggle financially due to additional expenses incurred such as medical bills, physical therapy, and funeral expenses. If the plaintiff is unemployed or has poor credit, banks will usually not grant a loan. Even if approved for a bank loan, the victim would be required to make monthly payments and pay back the loan no matter the outcome of the case.

A better option would be lawsuit funding, a cash advance against a pending lawsuit. Lawsuit funding requires no application fee, monthly payments, credit check, or employment verification. Best of all, it is a non-recourse cash advance meaning that no repayment is made if you lose your case. The plaintiff is only required to repay the cash advance if, and when, he/she wins his/her case. If the plaintiff loses, the repayment is waived in its entirety. With litigation funding, there is no reason to settle your case too soon or for too little. Call Lawsuit Financial; we are here to help.

Last Tuesday, a Lowe’s delivery truck failed to yield, ran a stop sign, and hit a school bus causing the bus to flip on its side. There was fog in the area, but it is not clear whether that might have been a factor in the accident.

Twenty-nine students and 3 adults were sent to the hospital; one student and the bus driver remain in serious condition. A 14-year-old girl and the bus driver were the most seriously injured; the teen suffered a broken back and has undergone surgery. She currently cannot move her legs and faces months of rehabilitation, but her family remains hopeful.

In auto accident cases such as this one, the injured victims can seek compensation for medical expenses, including hospitalization, surgery, and physical therapy, and other damages. At least one area law firm is preparing to file a lawsuit behalf of at least 10 clients. The victims and their families seeking compensation and justice may face a long process between the final investigation report and a settlement. Some may experience financial duress due to the medical bills incurred and possibly loss of income if they are unable to work as a result of injuries.

Lawsuit funding is an option for auto accident victims. In fact, it may be the only option to prevent victims from settling too soon and for too little. Family members may not have the funds to help through this difficult time, and banks don't typically loan money to auto accident victims. Furthermore, money from a bank is a loan that must be paid back, with monthly payments. Lawsuit funding is neither; rather it is a cash advance against your lawsuit. There are no upfront fees, no monthly payments, and you only pay to cash advance back if you win your case. Litigation funding is a no-risk cash advance against your lawsuit and once approved can be available to the plaintiff within 24 - 48 hours. When you know your bills and expenses are covered, it is much easier to fight for justice to be served.

The family of a hotel housekeeper who fell to her death in the hotel elevator shaft has filed a wrongful death lawsuit. The 65-year-old woman fell six stories at the Crockett Hotel on December 28 when she backed her housekeeper’s cart into the elevator. The elevator, however, wasn’t at the sixth floor as she had anticipated.

The victim’s daughter said the elevator had gotten stuck in the past, and recently someone was trapped for one hour. The hotel manager said the hotel was having problems with the elevators, but they had been serviced and were working properly. A spokeswoman for the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation said a licensed inspector was supposed to examine elevators at the Crockett Hotel by December 14, but the inspection did not happen.

The day after the fatal accident, the elevator passed inspection, but the hotels' owner could still be in violation of state regulations for failing to inspect them by the scheduled deadline. The service elevator will remain shut down until the investigation is complete.

The lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of the hotel owner. The plaintiff’s attorney said the lawsuit is intended, in part, to preserve the evidence until it is determined whether the hotel or elevator manufacturer was negligent. He sought a temporary injunction barring the companies from tampering with or destroying elevator parts until an investigation can be completed.

Elevator injuries are similar to premises liability lawsuits. The owner of a building is responsible for properly maintaining an elevator and if someone is injured as a result of negligent maintenance, the owner can be legally responsible for injuries. When a person is the victim of an accident, or a family has lost a loved one, directly related to the failure or malfunction of an elevator, they have the legal right to seek compensation for damages. For families who are faced with a similar lawsuit, being able to financially wait out the time it takes for your attorney to seek justice is paramount.

Due to the complexity of elevator lawsuits, the litigation process may be far off. A lawsuit cash advance can provide the financial security of paying bills while waiting for a fair and full settlement. At Lawsuit Financial, we provide non-recourse cash advances to plaintiffs in pending lawsuits. We feature an easy online application process, quick approval time, professional customer service, and affordable rates. Don’t worry about a bad credit history or unemployment; with us, those don’t matter. There are no application fees or monthly payments, either. Best of all, with Lawsuit Financial you only repay the cash advance if you win your case. Contact us to learn if your lawsuit qualifies for lawsuit funding.

The Yale-Harvard rivalry football game is an annual competitive event for students, alumni, and fans. Unfortunately, “The Game,” as it is known, will be remembered for a sudden death, but not as part of the game.

A fatal accident occurred on November 19, 2011when the driver of a U-Haul truck loaded with kegs of beer struck three women in a tailgating area before the game. Police said the driver suddenly accelerated as he made a turn in the parking lot striking the women, then hitting another U-Haul in the lot which struck a third U-Haul. One woman died from multiple blunt traumatic injuries and two others were injured; one of the injured women suffered serious injuries. It is unclear why the driver sped up, but alcohol does not appear to have played a role.

Tailgating – eating and drinking – at popular events has been around for years. They often consist of too many people, too many vehicles, and too much alcohol. Harvard banned U-Haul trucks, kegs, and hard liquor at tailgating parties last year, when “The Game” was played at Harvard. Six years ago, Yale began shutting down all parties after halftime in an effort to curb binge drinking and keep students and alumni safe. Now, the university said it plans to review its policies and regulations on tailgating before games.

Although police said the investigation will take some time, the incident has prompted speculation about the legal consequences of the accident. If a wrongful death lawsuit is filed, it is possible that any party - the driver of the U-Haul, the fraternity hosting the party, the owner of the U-Haul van, and Yale University - directly associated with the incident could be identified as a defendant. At the very least, hopefully this tragic accident will have all colleges and other sports teams seriously looking into policies and regulations to ensure that people are safe at tailgating events.

The injured victims and the family of the deceased woman may pursue a claim for damages. While faced with a long litigation process, they may also be struggling financially to pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and other bills. Lawsuit funding may be an option to help these victims remain financial stable during this difficult time.

Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance against a pending lawsuit. If the plaintiff loses his/her case, the lawsuit funding is excused; no repayment is required. Repayment is only made if, and when the plaintiff successfully settles his/her case.

Lawsuit Financial offers a quick application and approval process; funds can be available in as little as 24 hours from approval. If justice is slow in coming, don’t be desperate to settle too early, for too little, contact Lawsuit Financial or visit us online.

Boating accidents begin with a day of recreational fun. Sadly, in the blink of an eye, negligent actions can often lead to permanent injuries or death. An annual subdivision Independence Day celebration turned tragic for one family. Now a Fredericksburg, VA widow has filed a $6 million lawsuit against the Lake of the Woods Association following the death of her husband in a boating accident during the subdivision’s annual Independence Day celebration. The suit also seeks $500,000 in punitive damages against the operator of the pontoon boat.

The victim was riding on a wave board being pulled by a personal watercraft when he was struck by a pontoon boat’s propeller. He underwent surgery for multiple injuries to his legs and feet. After being released from the hospital, he apparently developed complications from his injuries and died 15 days after the accident. An official with the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said the cause of the man’s death was blood clots in his lungs caused by the blunt-force trauma to his legs. The boat operator was giving tours of the lake at the time of the accident.

The wrongful death suit alleges negligence by the boat operator and Association as his employer. The Association denies the allegations. The boat operator acknowledges that he was operating the boat when it came in contact with the victim, but asserts that the victim’s negligence contributed to his death.

Every year thousands of people are injured in boating accidents involving all types of watercraft, including any type of privately owned boat or personal watercraft. This also includes Jet skis, as well as commercial watercraft such as a ferry or cruise ship.

If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a boating accident caused by negligence of another, you may already have filed a lawsuit against the negligent party(ies). If you have not already contacted an attorney regarding your case, Lawsuit Financial would be happy to assist you. We have strategic relationships with attorneys all over the country, and would be pleased to recommend an attorney in your area that is familiar with your type of lawsuit.

Recovering from an injury or dealing with the loss of a loved one caused by a boating accident can put a family in a serious financial bind. Unfortunately, a boat accident lawsuit can be complex and take years to settle. A lawsuit cash advance may be a viable option to help pay for bills and increasing expenses.

Lawsuit Financial provides personal injury lawsuit funding for boating accidents and many other types of personal injury cases. Our lawsuit funding is on a non-recourse basis meaning that if you should lose your case, no repayment of the funding would be required; repayment is contingent upon your case recovery. The application process is easy and free; you can apply by phone or on the internet. Approvals are often completed, with a check or wire in your hands within 24-48 hours.

The holidays arrived and you relished in the family festivities. The final event was to ring in 2012 with the traditional New Year’s Day family brunch at Aunt Mary’s. You enjoyed great food and company but knowing you had to drive home, avoided all alcohol. Unfortunately, another driver on the road that evening did not. You were side-swiped and careened down an embankment. You are thankful to be alive, but are faced with mounting medical bills that continue to pile up because your injuries will prevent you from returning to work indefinitely.

You contacted an auto accident attorney who has agreed to take your case, but he has advised you that settling the case could take six months to two years. How can you deal with the additional expenses from the accident after spending a small fortune on holiday gifts for your family?

When an innocent victim is in the middle of a lawsuit, sometimes cash can be tight especially with additional bills and medical expenses combined with the loss if income. Often times, this is because insurance companies will prolong the process by denying, delaying, defending to avoid paying fair compensation in the hope that the plaintiff will be forced to settle for far less than they would receive from a jury verdict. Unless the plaintiff has savings to fall back on, he/she may need financial assistance to survive until his/her case is settled. When this happens, some plaintiffs may seek financing in the form of a traditional loan.

The disadvantage to a bank loan is that the application and approval process typically takes a long time, time a financially strapped plaintiff lacks. Banks also consider credit history and employment when approving loans; they also require monthly payments. That means that in addition to current monthly obligations, a plaintiff would have yet another new monthly bill, the monthly payment on the loan or line of credit. Lawsuit funding may be the answer.

Some people may call it a “lawsuit loan”, but at Lawsuit Financial we tell the truth; it is a non-recourse cash advance against a pending lawsuit. This means that unlike a bank loan in which you are required to pay back the loan regardless of the outcome, with lawsuit funding a plaintiff only pays back the cash advance if, and when, he/she wins his/her case. If the verdict is in favor of the defendant, the plaintiff is not obligated to pay back the lawsuit cash advance. Plain and simply put, litigation funding is risk-free.

Lawsuit funding is based solely on the strength of your case; credit history and employment do not matter and there are no monthly payments. Because of this, a plaintiff may qualify for lawsuit funding even though he/she would never qualify for a bank loan or line of credit. Unlike a bank loan, the application process is easy, and once approved, money can be available within 24-48 hours. Another advantage to litigation funding is that the plaintiff does not need to report a lawsuit cash advance therefore it will never show up on a credit report.

If you are currently involved in a lawsuit, been out of work, have fallen behind on the mortgage or rent, car payments and other bills, and can’t wait to receive compensation from your lawsuit, don’t accept a less than fair settlement from the insurance company. Contact Lawsuit Financial to learn how we can help pay your bills, living expenses, medical care, and other expenses; let us help you avoid financial disaster or bankruptcy. We provide the cash when you need it the most. Our approval process is quick and easy; simply complete our free, online application. With litigation funding, you’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

In October 2009, a 21-year-old was driving his 1998 Volkswagen GTI while under the influence of alcohol when he went off the road and crashed into a tree. The 18-year-old passenger was found unconscious inside the vehicle about an hour later; he died at a local hospital from massive traumatic head injuries.

What happened to the driver? Uninjured, he fled the scene returning to the party that both men had attended prior to the accident. Did he go back to seek help? NO! He told other party goers that the victim had stolen his vehicle. After friends urged him to report the vehicle stolen, the police drove him home, but the negligent man went to great lengths to give a route to his home that did not pass the accident site.

Now, two years after a lengthy and detailed investigation, police discovered the truth; the vehicle was not stolen and the victim was not the driver. Authorities disclosed that red fibers embedded in the driver’s side panel of the vehicle and shards of glass in the drunk drivers’ clothes helped investigators determine he was actually the man behind the wheel. The drunk driver has been charged with leaving the scene of the accident and faces felony charges for failure to report an accident involving death.

No legal action can ever bring back a loved one killed in an auto accident, but it is more devastating when justice is forestalled by a driver who refuses to take responsibility for his/her carelessness and negligence. 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. An attorney will ensure you get fair and equitable compensation for your devastating injuries.

A woman suffered life-threatening injuries in a pedestrian accident and died a day later. The accident is currently under investigation, but it appears that the cause of the accident was due to the recklessness and irresponsibility of a motorist. If the motorist is determined to have been at fault, he could be held responsible for the pedestrian’s wrongful death. Additionally, the area of the fatal accident is dangerous for pedestrians because part of the roadway does not have sidewalks. If the road conditions are determined to be dangerous to the public, the city may also be liable for the woman’s wrongful death.

It is always difficult to hear about the loss of a loved one due to an auto or pedestrian accident. Determining fault can sometimes be a complicated process. Insurance companies will try to reach a quick settlement and limit recovery to the lowest possible amount. The last thing this family wants to deal with during the pain and grief process is the legal and financial issues, but it is important to avoid the trap of agreeing to settle too early for too little.

A wrongful death attorney can ensure that the family's rights are protected, help determine who may be at fault, and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for funeral and burial expenses, anticipated and future lifetime earnings, loss of love, care and companionship, and other damages related to this pedestrian accident.

While the family may eventually receive a financial settlement to compensate them for their loss, they may experience a shortfall in their finances that could lead to a significant financial hardship. If this happens, the family may benefit from a “lawsuit loan.”

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 provides plaintiffs with financial assistance in advance of an expected settlement or verdict in your case. This legal finance 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.

Don’t let bills pile up and ruin your credit. Call Lawsuit Financial or visit us online for more information or to complete and application.

Elevators have been in the news a lot more than usual over the last couple of weeks -- and not for positive reasons. Two weeks ago, a woman was crushed to death by an elevator at California State Long Beach after trying to climb out of a stuck elevator car. Last week, a New York City woman died after an elevator door in her Manhattan office building closed on her leg as she was stepping in and dragged her body up between the shaft wall and the elevator car.

As the investigation continued in the NY accident, it was discovered that an elderly woman filed a lawsuit against the same elevator company after a similar accident allegedly left her seriously injured. The lawsuit contends that the elevator doors snapped shut without warning; the force throwing her to the floor. She sustained a four-inch gash on her head. The accident has left her unable to walk without assistance and she suffers from severe headaches that sometimes last for days.

Elevator injuries are handled much like premises liability lawsuits. The owner of a building is responsible for maintaining the elevator and if someone is injured as a result of negligent maintenance, the owner can be held legally responsible. The manufacturer may also be held responsible concerning malfunctioning elevators because of component defects.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a love one in an elevator accident, an experienced elevator accident attorney can help determine negligence or a defective product claim and determine your legal rights to seek compensation for damages.

Due to the complexity of elevator lawsuits, the litigation process may be far off. For some plaintiffs pre-settlement funding is a way to make it through the long and tedious process of waiting for a settlement. A lawsuit cash advance can provide the financial security of paying bills while waiting for a fair and full settlement from their claim. If you have been involved in an elevator accident and seeking lawsuit funding, contact Lawsuit Financial. With the financial pressure removed, there is no need to resolve any case for less than the full value of your injuries. The application process is quick and easy; it can take as little as 24 – 48 hours. There are no fees to apply, no credit check, no job requirement, no payments to make. And, if you lose the case, you keep the money free of charge. What bank makes that kind of offer? This is, truly, no risk litigation funding. Don’t settle for pennies on the dollar; get lawsuit funding and a fair and just equitable award or settlement.

A woman and her two children recently won a wrongful death lawsuit against a trucking company in the death of her 38-year-old husband who was killed in August 2008 during a cross-country bicycle ride.

As the man entered a bend in the road during the final leg of the race, a tractor-trailer straddled the center line attempting to pass, but a car was approaching in the opposite lane. When the truck veered to the right, the cyclist went onto the shoulder, lost control, and was thrown under the truck's back tires, dying instantly.

The lawsuit sought to recover damages for negligence, pain and suffering, medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and economic losses. The plaintiffs argued that the driver was negligent to have passed a moving bicyclist on a curve. The defense argued that the broken pavement, not the trucker, was the cause of the accident. The plaintiff’s attorney agreed that the pavement played a part, but ultimately it was the driver that forced the cyclist off the shoulder and that the area where the accident occurred was not a safe place to pass. After a seven day trial which included testimony from other cyclists on the trip, a state trooper and an accident reconstructionist, the jury ruled that the truck driver was negligent and awarded the victim’s family $8.5 million - $3,500,000 in damages for loss of wages, earning power and household services; $2,500,000 for loss of consortium, including emotion distress, to the widow; and an additional $2,500,000 to each of their two minor children.

The $8.5 million ruling may seem substantial, but it will never replace the emotional loss of a loved one. Since his death, this mother of two has taken a hobby into a business to support the children and have flexibility to be there for them. She hopes others will learn from this tragic accident and be more cautious drivers and be aware of those around you. A simple risk, a simple careless error can cause a whole family to suffer," she said.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in a trucking accident due to someone else’s negligence, you should consult an experienced attorney to know your rights. After filing a suit, it may take months or years to settle, yet you may be suffering not only emotionally and physically, but financially as well.

A newly married pilot, a couple celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary and a recently married couple from India were among five people killed last week when a helicopter crashed during a tour of Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam. The cause of the accident is still under federal investigation, but the families of the Indian couple have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the helicopter tour operator. The lawsuit alleges the pilot did not maintain control, did not avoid natural objects like canyon walls, and did not properly respond to losing control of the helicopter.

The NTSB investigators said the engine was changed the day before the fatal flight and the tour company, Sundance Helicopters, says their aircraft are inspected daily. There was no indication of bad weather or other aircraft in the area. The only information currently known is that the helicopter made a 600-foot climb followed by a 90-degree left turn and then an 800-foot descent before it impacted into a canyon wall indicating the pilot may have lost control, a maneuver that is not normal. The plaintiff’s attorney said, “tour pilots are encouraged to push the aircraft's limits and ignore unpredictable winds that can push the helicopter into a fixed object, such as a mountain. There is an incentive for the pilot to provide a `flight thrill' to passengers." NTSB officials said a final report on the crash could take a year; it could be another two to four years to reach a settlement in the case.

The crash brings up the question once again about the safety of the air tour industry. From 1994 through 2008, there were 75 commercial helicopter accidents in the U.S. It will come as no surprise that most of these crashes produced serious personal injuries or death for the occupants of the airplane; aircraft crashes do not produce “fender benders.”

If you have been seriously injured or have lost a loved one in an airplane or helicopter accident, it is essential to retain an attorney who is experienced in and specializes in handling these complicated cases. The attorney will need to have significant knowledge of the field of aviation and the laws applicable to it. The attorney should also have significant experience in the handling, working up, trial preparation, and actual trial of aircraft crash cases. This is a highly specialized field. It often takes an industry expert to locate the right attorney for you and your family. Lawsuit Financial has strategic relationships with aviation law attorneys all over the country, and would be pleased to assist you in finding an aviation legal specialist to handle your case.

These lawsuits are hard fought cases and take considerable time to reach appropriate resolution. How do victims support their families with the loss of income? Many victims are inclined to resolve their valuable cases too early and for too little, simply because they have been without support. Do not settle your case for pennies on the dollar, without determining whether you are a candidate for lawsuit funding. Insurance companies will deliberate delay resolution to persuade you to consider their inadequate offer. Seek your attorney's advice on whether settlement is wise, or whether lawsuit funding makes sense as a reasonable alternative. Litigation funding could be the best financial alternative for you and your family.

A 24-year-old female driver of a 2002 Honda Accord was driving north on West Dover Road in Pawling, NY when she apparently lost control, struck an embankment, overturned, and hit a tree. The driver and one passenger died at the scene; both were wearing seat belts. Although an investigation is ongoing into the cause of this auto accident, preliminary findings lead police to believe speed was a significant factor.

During the continued investigation, the family of the deceased passenger may choose to talk to an experienced attorney about their rights to compensation for the wrongful death of a loved one. If it is determined the family has a valid case and they are in need of immediate financial assistance to pay funeral expenses or other bills, they may wish to learn about lawsuit funding.
Lawsuit funding is a means of providing immediate financial assistance to plaintiffs in the litigation process. Litigation funding services would allow the family precious time to wait for a fair and equitable settlement; if they desperately need money now, the only other alternative would be to settle a valuable case for pennies on the dollar to pay their bills.

At Lawsuit Financial, we understand that personal injury victims who have filed a lawsuit may have trouble paying their bills while waiting for the resolution of their case. Even when they win their lawsuits, plaintiffs may not receive payment for months or even years. A lawsuit cash advance can help pay the bills and patiently wait for a settlement or verdict. It is easy to apply for a “lawsuit loan” online or by phone. Approvals take 48 hours or less and there are no upfront fees or monthly payments. Best of all, lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance meaning if you lose your case, you owe us nothing. Don’t settle for less; call Lawsuit Financial.

On December 29, 2009, a 9-year-old Maryland boy was participating in a two-night stay-away camp with 61 other youths at the Hashawha Environmental Camp. Despite a high wind advisory by the National Weather Service, camp counselors took the youths outside for a walk as part of a survival training activity. Shortly thereafter, the boy and another camper were struck by a 100-foot hickory tree. According to investigations, a gust of wind blew over the tree which had been dead for some time. The 9-year-old died two days later from severe head trauma.

The family of the deceased child has filed a $12 million wrongful death lawsuit against Carroll County claiming it was negligent in protecting the child. The suit includes more than $60,000 in medical bills and $2 million for pain and suffering the child endured for two days prior to his death.

In the lawsuit, the family contends that the tree should have been cut down despite the fact that it was not a safety hazard to the camp's buildings and hat the children should never have been taken outside. A report issued by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources on Jan. 25, 2010, revealed that “the significant decay at the base of the tree in combination with the windy conditions that day caused the tree to fall”; evidence that the tree had been dead for a long time and should have been cut down.

Instead of an apology, the family received a form letter refunding their money and inviting them to attend another festival at the camp. If this little boy wasn’t your only child, would you send another one of your children to Hashawha Environmental Camp?

The death of a child is every parent’s worst nightmare. Seeking compensation will not bring this child back, but it will help pay the medical bills, funeral expenses, and pain and suffering. But, tragedies like this one will often cause family members to struggle, financially, to pay the bills associated with the death of a loved one and a wrongful death lawsuit can be very contentious and often take years to resolve. With a solid lawsuit as collateral, they could apply for a lawsuit cash advance; emergency lawsuit funding to keep afloat financially while awaiting a settlement. A legal finance cash advance relieves the financial pressure and prevents resolving the lawsuit too soon, for too little.

Lawsuit Financial provides strategic pre-settlement funding; once approved, the cash advance can be available within 24-48 hours. The goal of legal funding is to allow a plaintiff the ability to wait for a fair and equitable settlement or jury verdict. The plaintiff pays no monthly fees; he/she is only obligated to repay the litigation funding cash advance if the lawsuit resolves successfully. The obligation is completely excused if the case is lost. So, why accept inadequate offers by greedy insurance companies who deliberately delay proceedings to make you desperate? Lawsuit funding provides the financial resources necessary to allow the plaintiff to wait out the long, legal process and receive appropriate and just compensation.

A Farmington, MO family settled a wrongful death lawsuit resulting from a fatal 2008 trucking accident in Arkansas. Roger Reagan was killed when the driver of a semi-truck crossed the center line while taking a curve in the road. The semi clipped a Jeep Cherokee, crossed the center line and struck a Kia head-on before veering directly into the cab of Mr. Reagan’s semi-truck. Reagan survived the initial force of impact, but was trapped inside the vehicle. When he tried to escape, Reagan fell and became trapped under his truck, surrounded by fire. Twenty minutes later he was pulled free, but died in route to the hospital. Reagan is survived by a wife and two children.

The plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against the driver and the trucking company alleging that the negligent truck driver was overtired, not qualified or properly trained and had two previous license revocations that should have prevented his employment with the trucking company. It was also determined that the negligent driver was hours beyond the maximum hours allowed daily under federal trucking rules. The defendants denied liability for the fatal accident claiming a third-party crossed the center ine and caused the semi-trailers to collide.

The trial focused on the driver’s qualifications to drive a commercial vehicle and the trucking company’s failure to appropriately screen its drivers; trial lasted five days with jurors returning a verdict of $7 million; the company bore 75 percent of the fault, with the driver bearing the rest.

Truck accidents like this happen all the time. Commercial truck drivers who are inadequately trained in driving techniques, safety concerns, and defensive driving can be just as dangerous. It is equally dangerous to impose unrealistic schedules and expectations that encourage drivers to speed or driving while fatigued, despite the safety risks involved.

Anyone who has been inured or lost a loved one in a truck-related accident may be eligible to receive compensation for their medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of income, and pain and suffering. It is important to seek an experienced truck accident attorney to protect your legal rights and preserve the evidence resulting from the accident. If you need help locating an experienced attorney in your area, contact Lawsuit Financial; we offer a free, nationwide attorney referral program.

What if you have mounting medical bills, mortgage payments, household bills, or even worse - funeral expenses? The financial strain not only seriously impacts your life, bur it also impacts your case. A financially desperate plaintiff is not in a favorable position regarding settlement negotiations; this person will often settle for too little, too soon. So, how do you survive - financially while you wait for a trial or a settlement?

Four ninth-grade students suffered mild to severe burns during a science experiment at Maple Grove Junior High School. Three were released from the hospital with minor burns; one suffered second-degree burns to his face, neck, and hand.

The accident happened during a science experiment performed by the teacher. About 30 students were in the classroom. According to the Star Tribune, the teacher dropped a lit match into a jug of methanol, which made a small flash fire and loud boom. A student in the front row looked down to take notes of his observations when apparently the teacher performed the experiment a second time resulting in an explosion that caught the 15-year-old teen on fire. It is not clear if the students suffered chemical burns or were burned by fire. The school district and state fire marshal are investigating. In the meantime the methanol demonstrations, which have been a regular part of the school curriculum, have been stopped.

One major question is why the students were not wearing safety goggles during the experiment. The father of the burned teen said he hopes the school learns a lesson. “Some policy changes and safety issues need to be addressed.”

The teen’s medical expenses will most likely be staggering; medical care continuous and painful. His injuries may very well be life-altering, both physically and emotionally. He may face permanent disfigurement which will serve as a constant reminder of the accident.

The family may wish to speak to a personal injury lawyer about a claim to recover compensation for his injuries. If the family files a lawsuit, but find they are struggling financially, they may choose to seek lawsuit funding. Lawsuit Financial helps injured plaintiffs and their families level the playing field by providing a “lawsuit loan” allowing the plaintiff and his/her attorney the ability to compete effectively against insurance companies, large corporations, and other deep-pocketed defendants. Unlike a traditional loan, our lawsuit funding is on a non-recourse basis meaning you only pay us back if, and when, you win your case. If you lose, you pay absolutely nothing. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments, no credit check, and employment is not a factor.

With Lawsuit Financial, a lawsuit cash advance is based solely on the strength of your case. It only takes a few minutes complete an online application. Once approved for funding, a check or wire will be provided within 24-48 hours. Lawsuit funding allows plaintiffs to follow their attorneys' advice, decline those low offers, and await trial or appropriate settlement. If you need cash now to stay the course through the litigation process, contact Lawsuit Financial.

Four Penn State students on a trip to solicit donations for THON were in a fatal auto accident on Friday when their SUV hit a patch of black ice and flipped over. Three of the students sustained injuries, but were expected to recover; one passenger was thrown from the vehicle and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Snow and ice covered roads are not uncommon between November and March. Many auto accident victims are fortunate enough not to have serious injuries. However, just as many are and may require extensive medical treatment, surgery, and physical therapy; others may be disabled. Further investigations may help determine if negligence played a role in this fatal accident. If so, the injured parties and the family who lost their daughter may choose to file a personal injury lawsuit to receive compensation.

During such difficult times, the physical, emotional, and financial strain can be overwhelming. Did you know there is a way to help with the financial situation without taking a second mortgage on your home, without a bank loan, or without borrowing from family and friends?

Lawsuit funding is an option for auto accident victims. In fact, it may be the only option to prevent victims from settling too soon and for too little. Family members may not have the funds to help through this difficult time, and banks don't typically loan money to auto accident victims. Furthermore, money from a bank is a loan that must be paid back, with monthly payments.

Lawsuit funding is neither; rather it is a cash advance against your lawsuit. There are no upfront fees, no monthly payments, and you only pay to cash advance back if you win your case. Litigation funding is a no-risk cash advance against your lawsuit and once approved can be available to the plaintiff within 24 - 48 hours. When you know your bills and expenses are covered, it is much easier to fight for justice to be served. This pre-settlement funding helps level the play field between the plaintiff and defendant. Contact Lawsuit Financial at 1-877-377- SUIT (7848) or visit us online for a free, no obligation consultation. Remember that acting responsibly and driving safely is the best way to avoid auto accidents especially during the winter months.

Slip and fall injuries due to the negligence of the property owner usually occur from failure to maintain the premise (leaving debris, a wet floor, or fixing repairs), a poorly constructed building or design flaw, or improper lighting. Slip and fall accidents frequently cause significant injuries - broken bones, fractures, back injuries, herniated disks, head injuries; some injuries may require medical attention and long-term treatment.

When a slip and fall accident occurs due to someone else’s negligence, the victim may have the right to seek compensation for injuries sustained. Typically, the kinds of damages that may be recovered are medical expenses, rehabilitation, lost wages, and pain and suffering; in the event of a death, compensation for funeral and burial costs and loss of companionship and support may be sought.

Determining negligence in slip and fall accidents requires legal expertise; business owners and their insurance companies provide vigorous opposition; a lawsuit is almost always required. From a liability standpoint, proving negligence in a slip and fall accident is, sometimes, more difficult than it might otherwise seem. Because insurance companies have money to deny, delay, and defend, you may become embroiled in contentious litigation lasting months, even years. Settling too soon for too little is not a viable option, but lawsuit funding is. Lawsuit Financial can provide slip and fall lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a service that provides some financial relief to litigants who are facing financial difficulties.

A Texas nursing home is accused of negligence in the death of a 78-year-old resident. According to a wrongful death lawsuit, the woman was heard yelling for help and found on the floor next to her bed at Regent Care Center. The suit claims that the woman was “neurologically alert, coherent and in severe pain” when she was placed back in her bed. She was later found non-responsive and taken to the hospital where she died from bleeding and head trauma.

When placing a loved one in the care of a nursing home, it is expected that the resident will receive quality care. Unfortunately, nursing home negligence and abuse are all too common.

A four-vehicle auto accident on Interstate 4 in Orlando has left one man dead and another critically injured. The accident occurred when the 31-year-old driver of the SUV failed to notice stopped traffic and slammed into a 2007 Jeep Cherokee; both vehicles went up in flames. The Jeep was pushed into a vehicle in front of it, which hit another vehicle. Florida state troopers said the passenger of the Cherokee was trapped and burned beyond recognition; the driver is listed in critical condition with burns. The driver of the SUV suffered minor injuries. It is unknown whether the driver of the SUV was distracted or tired, but speed does appear to be a factor. The accident is still under investigation.

In August 2010, NHTSA began looking into all 1993 – 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee's after the Center for Auto Safety petitioned for a recall. It claimed the model is more likely to catch fire when struck from behind and that there have been hundreds of accidents and deaths when the vehicle is hit from behind due to the location of the fuel tank. The Chrysler Group concluded that the vehicles are neither defective nor do their fuel systems pose an unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety in rear impact collisions. This investigation is currently ongoing.

Thousands of people are seriously injured or killed each year in auto accidents as a result of a negligent driver, auto manufacturer, or a combination. Some manufacturer defects cause accidents while others may worsen an accidental injury. In this auto accident, the victims may have suffered minor injuries as a result of the collision alone, but due to the fuel tank explosion one man is dead and another fighting for his life.

Recalls before injuries occur are important pro-safety measures. So why do automakers wait for something serious to happen before considering corrective action? Timely and appropriate recalls save lives and we encourage automakers to issue them promptly and responsibly. However, if automakers are still willing to risk lives to save money, that behavior should be exposed, and perpetrators made to pay, both civilly and criminally.

The family of the deceased may consider a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the SUV and Chrysler. If so, it is important to contact an experienced auto accident attorney who specializes in similar cases. In the meantime, the families of both victims may be suffering from financial distress associated with medical and funeral expenses; they may want to consider lawsuit funding.

Use auto accident lawsuit funding to ease your financial burden and give your attorney the time needed to obtain full value in your case.

All too often, many accidents occur on-the-job. When this happens, the first step is to complete a worker's compensation claim. Sometimes, the accidents are mild enough that the worker will be able to return to his/her job in a few days. However, some injuries could cause an employee to be out of work for several weeks or even months. Other injuries are long term and can last a lifetime, thus reducing the chance of someone being able to maintain gainful employment. For example, a back injury to a construction workers could mean the injured person can no longer work in the same capacity as before the accident. During the time out of work, the employee may be able to claim and receive worker's compensation benefits.

Workers’ compensation does not excuse the employer’s gross negligence; it also does not excuse the negligence of a third party. Thus, for example, if you are in an automobile accident while driving for your company and the driver of the opposite vehicle is the at-fault driver, you may collect workers’ compensation from your employer and you may pursue a lawsuit against the at-fault driver. If your injury was caused by defective equipment on the job, you may collect workers’ compensation and you may pursue a lawsuit against the faulty equipment manufacturer. Thus, you can sue a negligent third party even though you are entitled to collect or are collecting workers' compensation benefits. In most states, you will be obligated to reimburse portions of your workers compensation benefits if you collect substantial sums from a third party, arising out of the same accident. But, there may be a difference, often a substantial increase, over the amount paid by a workers' compensation carrier.

Everyone has the right to a safe workplace and working conditions that don’t pose a risk of serious injury or death. Workplace safety actually ranks more important than pay and benefits. In cases with severe and long lasting injuries, the compensation might not be enough to cover all of the expenses, and it may not be enough to get one through tough times. Sometimes, people are unable to receive their benefits for one reason or another, and this can place them under a huge financial burden. In times such as this, it's important to seek experienced legal counsel. Attorneys who have experience in this area of the law will be able to help you achieve a fair settlement.

Worker's compensation law is confusing for those who don't have experience and knowledge in the area, and you do not want to trust your case to anyone but the best in the field. When an injured party has a qualified attorney working with them, they will be able to rest easy knowing that they have someone working to help them get the compensation they deserve.

The accident is under investigation, but it appears that an 18-year-old female driver veered off the road after passing another vehicle and slammed into a tree. The vehicle burst into flames upon impact. Witnesses said the flames were shooting high into the sky and tires were exploding from the intense heat.

Three passengers, young men aged 19, 20 and 22, died at the scene. The female driver was taken to a nearby hospital. Police believe alcohol played a role in the deadly accident.

Personal injury claims are among the most common lawsuits filed in the United States each year, encompassing far-reaching and often vastly different types of accidents and injuries. One of the commonalities is that most often these types of injuries are not only preventable, but they result in some form of medical attention.

An injured victim may file a claim when injuries are the result of someone else’s negligence. Following are some of the most common types of personal injury cases.

Auto accidents: If you have been involved in an auto accident at no fault of your own, you may have a personal injury claim. The accident could be due to the negligence of another driver, a manufacturer defect, or a defect in the road. Injuries sustained can lead to expensive medical bills, therapy, and/or long-term treatment and care.

Medical Malpractice: Negligence by medical practitioners can lead to serious injury and even death. Talking to an experienced attorney who specializes in medical malpractice cases can help determine your rights and seek fair compensation for your injuries or loss.

Workplace Injuries: Personal injuries sustained at work can vary widely - slip and falls, equipment failure, improper training, poor quality control procedures, or inadequate policies and procedures. Injuries can range from mild to severe, and in some cases, death.

Assault: In addition to criminal charges filed in an assault case, it is possible to file a personal injury claim. Again, it is important to talk to an experienced attorney.

Product Liability: Thousands of injuries occur every year as a result of a defective product or equipment. Product liability lawsuits provide victims with compensation for death or injuries sustained. A lawsuit is a means to make products safer.

No matter the type of personal injury claim, it is always important to speak with a qualified personal injury lawyer for guidance. These lawsuits can be complicated and take years to resolve. Time is your enemy if you have mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of wages.

Lawsuit Financial can assist with legal financial assistance throughout the litigation process. 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, funeral expenses, or ordinary living expenses. Our lawsuit cash advances help a plaintiff even the odds; the money provides legal staying power to fight powerful corporations and insurance companies and achieve the best possible result without worrying about your bills. 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.

Insurance companies are very wealthy and have the financial resources to litigate a case to the very end. They will oftentimes intentionally deny, delay, and defend cases from settling in hopes the plaintiff will settle for less than fair compensation because of financial constraints. And, in today’s economy, it’s no secret that many people are strapped for cash. Because they need money right now, they are willing to forego a potentially larger settlement in order to have immediate cash.

If you are unfortunate enough to be the victim of someone else's negligence, paying the bills may be even tougher, especially with the holidays approaching. For plaintiffs in the midst of litigation, lawsuit funding can be a welcomed savior.

Lawsuit Financial, a pro-justice litigation funding company, is a leader in the lawsuit funding industry. We believe being forced to settle for less compensation because you are in a financial bind is not seeking justice and could result in losing thousands or even millions of dollars of fair compensation.

Lawsuit funding can dramatically change the outcome of a plaintiff’s settlement because litigation funding levels the playing field. The plaintiff is more financially stable to allow his/her attorney time to negotiate fair compensation. Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse “lawsuit loan” meaning the plaintiff only repays the cash advance if, and when, he/she wins their case. If you lose your lawsuit case, you owe nothing to the lawsuit funding company that provided you the cash advance. Therefore, lawsuit funding can be a great risk free option for plaintiffs who can’t afford to hold out long enough for a fair settlement offer. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments with Lawsuit Financial and we offer a quick turnaround time; 24 – 48 hours.

If you are not in the financial position to wait years before compensation is paid, but are worried how to survive this holiday season, lawsuit funding could be a viable option and it can make a difference in your financial staying power. So, don’t let the holidays add more stress to you already difficult times. Call or visit us online for a free, no-obligation consultation. Lawsuit Financial is here to assist you this holiday season.

A slip and fall accident doesn't always sound as dangerous and problematic as the injuries that come with them. In many cases, the fall results in some very serious injuries that will need medical attention.

Some of the types of physical damage that someone may incur during a slip and fall accident include injuries to the spine, broken bones, bruising and soft tissue damage, internal injuries, and even post traumatic stress. While these types of injuries may be different, they all have one thing in common; they require medical attention.

What Causes Slip and Fall Injuries?

There are an unlimited number of ways someone could be injured from a slip and fall accident. In some instances, the negligence may be on the part of the person who fell, but that's not always the case.

One of the most common causes of slip and fall accidents is a failure of the owner to properly maintain the premise. Whether a private home, office complex, or retail establishment, the owner needs provide safe conditions for anyone who enters the premise. Failure to do so may cause unsafe conditions that can lead to serious falls and other injuries.

Slip and fall accidents can also be the result of a poorly constructed building. If there is a construction or design flaw in the building, often times they are not apparent until someone has an accident.

Improper lighting can also lead to a slip and fall accident. Property owners may be liable if poor lighting causes someone to slip and fall on their property.

Wet surfaces, broken areas in pavement and on sidewalks, and frayed or improperly installed carpet can cause a slip and fall accident as well.

If you've suffered from a slip and fall accident and believe it is due to someone else’s negligence, you may be able to file a slip and fall lawsuit for damages. It is important to speak to an attorney who can evaluate your case and discuss your options.

Proving negligence in a slip and fall accident is, sometimes, more difficult than it might otherwise seem. Unfortunately, business owners and their insurance companies work every angle to avoid paying and "buy" as much time as possible; a lawsuit is almost always required and then the insurance company will delay again. Before becoming discouraged about your financial situation, call Lawsuit Financial to learn about our litigation funding services and how we might help you.

A three-vehicle auto accident in October 2010 that killed two has led to three lawsuits. A twenty-seven year old man driving a Chevy pick-up truck crossed the center line and sideswiped a Ford pick-up truck before hitting a Honda Civic head-on. The driver of the Honda and the front seat passenger died at the scene; two backseat passengers suffered serious injuries. Blood tests showed the driver of the Chevy pick-up had Xanax and alcohol in his system; he pleading guilty and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.

The lawsuits filed against Bollinger Shipyards, the driver of the Ford pick-up, and the family of the drugged driver, are asking for unspecified monetary damages. The facts in the lawsuit are:

• Earlier in the day the driver of the Chevy truck was with a friend who was arrested on DWI charges.
• He was returning from posting bond for his friend when the fatal accident occurred, he was returning from posting bond for that friend.

One lawsuit alleges that both men had been given beer by their supervisor for working overnight. The lawsuit said this is “a known and customary practice at Bollinger.” Another suit states that the negligent driver’s family allowed him to get behind the wheel knowing he was impaired. The suit against the driver of the Ford pick-up truck alleges that the he “did not take proper evasive action to avoid a collision between his vehicle and the vehicle driven by the DUI driver despite having ample time, opportunity, and warning of the upcoming dangerous situation.”

Unfortunately, the families who lost a loved one and those victims who were seriously injured may never recover full compensation; the driver of the Chevy pick-up truck was driving on a suspended license and had no insurance. The family’s only attempt at collecting from him will be from future earnings. Is Bollinger responsible for its employees? They may have provided beer, but did are they responsible if employees drink and then get behind the wheel? What about the driver of the Ford pick-up?

There are many unanswered questions in this fatal auto accident. It may take years to reach a resolution. In the meantime, the victims may be suffering from financial distress.

Halloween has come and gone; much of the candy probably has too, but for one family the memories will last forever. Thirteen-year-old Jayden was trick-or treating with his stepbrother when he was struck by a vehicle driven by an elderly woman. According to police, it appears that the woman just didn’t see the teen; negligence such as distracted driving did not seem to be a factor.

The boy suffered several fractures in his skull, and has bleeding on the brain. He also suffered a fractured pelvis and broke his leg in two places. Jayden recently slipped into a coma and doctors say they have done all they can for him. Hospital bills are mounting at $10,000 per day. The family has a fund set up at America First Credit Union for anyone who wants to donate and help the family pay the mounting medical bills.

It is uncertain whether charges will be filed against the driver or if a lawsuit will be pursued. What is certain is the emotional rollercoaster for this family. The family is already faced with mounting medical bills. If the child survives, he will undoubtedly face a long road to recovery including on-going medical care; he may even need round-the-clock care. If he does not come out of the coma and dies, the family will be faced with funeral expenses and the additional pain and suffering as a result of their loss.

If a lawsuit is pursued, the family can include medical expenses, loss of income due to caring for the childe, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, and loss of companionship. Only an experienced attorney can tell whether the family has a right to compensation. If an attorney takes this case and files a lawsuit, lawsuit funding may be available to assist the family through the difficult financial times.

The parent company of Brightmoor Nursing Center in North Carolina is being sued for the wrongful death of a patient of nine years. The administrator for the estate of the 73-year-old man claims in the suit that Brightmoor employees were negligent in the death of her uncle in 2009. She alleges that the man died two days after he was dropped in the shower by a certified nursing assistant. The defendant denies the allegations.

The man was taken to an area hospital with a hip fracture at which time the hospital staff discovered he had a massive urinary tract infection not identified at the nursing home.

The man suffered from mental retardation and was wheelchair bound; he was assessed as being a fall risk when he was first entered the nursing home in 2000. His bed was to be set on the lowest level at all times, a shower chair was to be used and a gait belt for moving him. The suit alleges that not all necessary precautions were in place at the time of the man’s death and there was not adequate staffing or employee training.

When placing a loved one in the care of a nursing home, it is expected that the resident will receive quality care. Unfortunately, negligence and abuse in this setting are all too common. Nursing home neglect and abuse can be physical, mental, or emotional. Often, the abuse or neglect continues undetected because not all elderly or infirm persons are able to easily communicate. Also, some have medical conditions that make them especially vulnerable to slip and falls accidents, broken bones, brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, hip fractures, and other injuries.

If you believe that a loved one may be the victim of nursing home neglect or abuse, you may be entitled to compensation. Choosing the right attorney is a vitally important decision. If you do not know an attorney who specializes in nursing home abuse, Lawsuit Financial has excellent legal referral sources all over the country and our professional staff will locate you a top-notch legal specialist, in your city or state, within 24-48 hours. This is a free service for injury victims and their family members.

Lawsuit Financial will also devise a legal finance plan to assist victims and family members through the difficult financial issues facing them. Victims do not want to conduct settlement negotiations when they are struggling, financially. If they do, they will, almost always, accept an offer that is less than full case value. Strategic lawsuit funding can often be the difference between a mediocre settlement and a large, injury appropriate, settlement. Leverage Lawsuit Financial’s money to hold out for full case value.

A $3.8 million lawsuit has been filed against a Virginia assisted living facility for negligence in a man's death two years ago. The lawsuit alleges that the defendant condoned inadequate staffing levels to increase profits.

The victim was admitted into the Willows facility in June 2008 after suffering from a fall. While at the facility, family members said he showed signs of deterioration in his ability to care for himself. The lawsuit states that despite changes in his condition, the medical staff failed to reassess his medical needs and failed to communicate with the patient’s family and physician. The suit alleges that he fell numerous times and his diet was not properly monitored while under the facility’s care. Eleven days before his death, the patient was transported to the hospital where doctors diagnosed him with an acute respiratory infection, a urinary tract infection and a pressure ulcer on his right, lateral heel. The lawsuit contends that he was “completely debilitated and bedridden, had numerous bruises, skin tears, chipped teeth, and extremely dirty teeth and gums.” Although the patient suffered from dementia, insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus, osteoporosis, and high blood pressure, among other conditions, the suit states that the defendant could have prevented most of the injuries sustained if the facility had adequately staffed and trained employees.

When we place a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, we expect them to be cared for and protected. Alzheimer’s and dementia patients require extra care because they tend to wander, become disoriented, and lost. When we hear stories like this, it makes us all wonder about the safety of our aging loved ones.

I understand that taking care of elderly people can be a very tough job. I understand that not many of us can do what these workers do for a living. Although the vast majority of senior health care workers are dedicated care givers, incidents of abuse in nursing homes and assisted living facilities continue to occur. When neglect or abuse occurs, it can lead to more serious forms of illnesses, diseases and medical conditions. Bed sores are a typical example of conditions that are relatively easy to prevent but far too common in many assisted living facilities.

Agencies like Citizens for Better Care, and others, have been created to combat this type of neglect by reporting about and punishing those caregivers and nursing homes that operate below acceptable standards. The best deterrent, however, remains the ability to pursue litigation against a negligent caregiver or nursing center.

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 an assisted living facility or 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.

If you are seeking lawsuit funding for a nursing home abuse or negligence case, begin by completing a lawsuit funding application. Lawsuit Financial provides non-recourse funding to help financially strapped plaintiffs during their pending lawsuit. We offer a quick and easy approval process - less than 48 hours. There are no upfront fees, monthly payments, credit checks or employment verifications. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if you lose your case you owe nothing. It really is a risk-free option for plaintiffs.

A secretary in the body shop of the Ganley Lincoln auto dealership may have helped police locate the hit-and-run driver of a 13-year-old Olmsted Falls, Ohio boy. The teen was walking down the road at approximately 7 p.m. on October 17 when he was struck. He was flown to an area medical center where he died the next day, his birthday.

The day after the accident, an elderly woman brought her vehicle to Ganley for body work. The secretary said she became suspicious when the woman wanted to pay for the repairs herself, did not want to involve her insurance company, and requested the repairs be done immediately. The 79-year-old owner of the vehicle said she discovered the damage to her car when she woke up, but did not want to involve the police. Employees at Ganley said the damages were similar to those when someone hits a deer. Recalling a hit-and-run accident the day before, the secretary looked at the woman's vehicle more closely and noticed hair and blood on the windshield; her manager called the police.

Evidence from the accident scene matches the vehicle in question although tests on blood and hair samples need to be completed. Once these tests are completed, the woman may be arrested and questioned. Was she driving the vehicle? Was she distracted? There are many unanswered questions that may take a long time to resolve.

In cases like this, lawsuits are, typically, the way to compensate the victim and punish the perpetrator. Most likely, the parents of the innocent teen, in the wrong place at the wrong time, will contact a personal injury attorney to discuss their rights.

It could take years for a lawsuit to reach a settlement. While coping with their grief, the family may be burdened by the expenses associated with their son’s death. There is immediate financial assistance available to families that find themselves in this type of situation.

While waiting for their attorney to obtain justice for their son, litigation funding would allow them to pay medical bills, funeral expenses, 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.

A 57-year-old plaintiff was treated in the emergency room and discharged without specific treatment for myocardial infarction resulting in permanent myocardial damage. He also suffered from kidney failure and other complications, eventually resulting in death.

The family filed a medical malpractice lawsuit claiming that two EKG’s were misread and critical blood tests showing elevated cardiac enzyme levels and troponin levels were not communicated to the doctor before the patient was discharged. The case settled for 3.6 million dollars.

The number of patients seriously injured or who die from medical mistakes remains staggeringly high. When someone’s death is caused by an undiagnosed heart attack, the surviving family members are often left wondering what could have been done. In most cases involving missed heart attacks, further actions could have been taken to save the patient, which is why the majority of undiagnosed heart attack cases stem from errors in diagnosis.

Pursuing justice for medical malpractice victims is not just about the compensation; what happened is not just about the money. Lawsuits help promote safer and better health care. Medical malpractice litigation can, and does, keep patient safety in the spotlight. Holding the medical profession accountable creates a better health care system. If you or a loved one is living with the consequences of a doctor error or misdiagnosis, it is important to contact an experienced attorney who can protect your rights and get you the compensation you deserve.

I don’t know the financial situation of this family, but they may have been eligible for lawsuit funding; a lawsuit cash advance to help pay medical expenses, funeral expenses, and other bills due to loss of income.

While no amount of money can replace what you've lost because of a misdiagnosis, failure to diagnosis or other type of medical malpractice, Lawsuit Financial can help with your financial obligations while your suit is pending.

Firefighters were dispatched to an abandoned building on Dec. 22, 2010. While several men were sent inside to search for occupants and extinguish the blaze, others worked outside cutting holes in the roof to ventilate the building. The roof suddenly collapsed, killing two men inside and injuring 19 others. The cause of death was listed as “compressional asphyxia from a roof collapse.”

Children of one of the firefighters filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the building owners. The plaintiffs argued that their father’s death could have been prevented had the building been up to code. Records indicated that the owners were previously cited with 14 separate violations, but the building was never repaired and it became a haven for homeless people seeking shelter.

The lawsuit follows an investigation report citing that poor communications, an insufficient number of radios and the lack of a system to alert the Fire Department of hazardous buildings put the firefighters at risk. Only 5 of the 13 firefighters inside the building when the roof collapsed had radios, and none of them provided supervisors outside with a description of the internal conditions. The report also stated that supervisors outside the building were unaware what was occurring inside as flames crawled up the wooden beams to the ceiling. Were the firefighters too busy searching for occupants and extinguishing the blaze that they forgot to communicate with the crew outside? If these procedures had been in place that December day would these fatalities have been avoidable? What about the fact that the city's Department of Buildings lacks procedures to provide firefighters the necessary information about dangerous buildings?

Despite the report, the plaintiffs believe the Fire Department did their job properly and negligence rests solely with the building owners, although they feel the Building Department could have done more to ensure the building was up to code, torn down, or at minimum posted signs as to the dangerous building.

Premises liability is an issue for the owners of the building. If there were violations of fire code regulations, or a failure of the Fire Department to have adequate procedures in place, this would be negligence.

Cases like this tend to take a long time from lawsuit commencement to lawsuit resolution; litigants/family members, struggling to make ends meet after losing a family member and having to deal with funeral and burial or medical assistance expenses rendered at the time of the fire, may wish to consider applying for lawsuit funding. This is a service that provides a lawsuit cash advance to people involved in pending lawsuits. The main purpose of this legal finance service is to prevent cash strapped litigants from having to settle their valuable cases too soon, for too little, because the need lawsuit cash now. Legal funding may make a substantial difference in the bottom line of your case. The call or online visit is free; the advice is priceless.

A second lawsuit has been filed against a 19-year-old who caused a fatal auto accident while driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs in May 2010. The driver and four passengers had been at a post-prom party shortly before the accident. The accident occurred when two wheels went onto the median, causing the truck to fishtail, strike four trees, and flip over. All five teens, ranging in age from 15 to 19 years old were ejected from the truck.
The driver suffered a broken vertebra in his neck; two passengers were seriously injured and one was left in a coma for a month before he died from injuries without regaining consciousness.

The driver was allegedly drunk and driving recklessly at speeds approaching 100 mph. The passengers claim they were afraid and asked the driver to take them back to the party rather than driving them home. According to reports, he was driving on a suspended license.
Investigators said that toxicology reports showed driver had a blood-alcohol level of .15 and had a trace of marijuana in his system. A whiskey bottle and a pill bottle containing a stimulant used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder were found in the truck.

The first lawsuit was filed by the family of one of the injured teens claiming driver negligence and recklessness. The second suit was recently filed by the father of the deceased teen. In the lawsuit, the plaintiff contends that the driver was driving at a high rate of speed while drunk and high. The plaintiff also plans to file a suit against anyone who provided the alcohol and drugs to the negligent driver.

When a driver impaired by drugs or alcohol makes the decision to get behind the wheel, he puts himself and others at risk. The power and sheer force of a speeding vehicle is a dangerous weapon that could forever change your life as well as the lives of your passengers and other motorists. Drivers between the ages of 16 and 20 are typically the least experienced drivers on the road, and when alcohol or drugs are added to their inexperience, the results can be even more deadly.

In cases like this, lawsuits are, typically, the way to compensate the victims and punish the perpetrator. Both families are may be struggling emotionally and physically. They may also be faced with substantial present and future financial obligations – funeral expenses, significant medical bills, and possibly therapy depending on the extent and duration of injuries. Since cases like this have a tendency to take a long time to resolve, additional expenses as well as the disruption of work life can take a substantial financial toll on a family. Therefore, the families may wish to investigate the possibility of obtaining lawsuit cash advance (sometimes known as a “lawsuit loan”) from an experienced litigation funding company.

Legal finance services can be a life preserver in desperate financial time. While waiting to obtain justice, litigation funding would allow them to pay medical bills and other important expenses. The application process is quick and easy. If approved, cash can often be available within 24 - 48 hours. That is one of the reasons why it's called "fast cash". If you or someone you love has been seriously injured in an automobile accident caused by a drunk driver, Lawsuit Financial may be able to provide assistance.

In December 2010, an elderly woman was fatally wounded when she was struck by a vehicle as she crossed the street. Her husband filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the Silverado that hit the woman claiming negligence and carelessly driving, and against the City of Atwater alleging that dangerous factors contributed to the accident including obscured vision for drivers, unsafe roadway design, inappropriate speed limits and traffic signal timers that did not allow pedestrians enough time to cross the street. The suit seeks compensation for economic damages, as well as non-economic damages including loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, and moral support.

In August, city officials stated that the traffic signal timer has been improved to allow safe crossing for pedestrians. No further information was provided and the lawsuit is still pending.
Intersections can be very dangerous with vehicles turning, drivers changing lanes, pedestrians crossing and stopping at stoplights. Each factor increases the risk driver negligence and a subsequent auto accident. Liability can be difficult to determine; every case is unique, but most intersection accidents are due to human errors such as inattentive driving, drunk driving, reckless behavior, texting and other driver negligence. In these cases liability falls onto the driver who caused the accident. Additionally, many roads are in need of repair and or improvements need to be made to ensure the safety or motorists and pedestrians. Although the city is responsible for making the roads safer, it can not control negligent driving. The plaintiff’s attorney said it is still too early to know when the case could go to trial; he is still collecting evidence.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed in an auto accident due to the negligence of someone else, it is important that you seek legal advice from an auto accident attorney. It is sometimes difficult to make ends meet when situations like this occur. All too often, plaintiffs will look to settle their case too soon and for too little because they are financially strapped. Lawsuit Financial can give plaintiffs the money they need immediately; this immediate legal funding source allows them to take care of their financial obligations while giving their attorney the time needed to seek appropriate justice. The call to 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) is free; the advice is priceless.

A widow was awarded more than $6.7 million in a medical malpractice lawsuit against Eastern Maine Medical Center and Dr. Lawrence Nelson, a Bangor, Maine surgeon. The lawsuit was filed in August of 2009; it was a nearly two year battle for justice. The award appears to be one of the largest ever awarded by a Maine jury in a medical malpractice case.

Her husband was in an ATV rollover accident on May 6, 2005. He suffered several broken ribs, among other injuries; there was indication of internal bleeding from CT scans ordered by the emergency department physician. The lawsuit alleged that doctors failed to follow up on the indications of internal bleeding. The extent of bleeding over the 36 hours after admission to the Medical Center caused one of the patient’s lungs to collapse. The lack of oxygen precipitated a massive heart attack ultimately causing his death two days later on his 44th birthday. The suit stated that the man’s death may have been prevented if a chest tube for drainage of fluid was put in place.

After a six-day trial, a jury found in favor of the plaintiff and awarded a total of $6,711,000 in damages:
1. $11,000 for funeral and burial expenses
2. $1 million for the victim’s conscious suffering before his death
3. $1.2 million in loss of economic support
4. $4.5 million for loss of companionship and emotional distress

A decision on whether to appeal the case has not been made.

Are you a victim of medical malpractice? A medical malpractice or medical negligence claim is one filed by someone who feels they have been a victim of a medical error or mistake or by a member of the victim’s family who has died or been injured as a result of what is considered a medical error.

The first step is to consult an experienced medical malpractice attorney to determine if you have a valid claim. Once you file a claim it can take a long time for the case to reach a settlement. For many plaintiffs this can be a difficult time not only physically and emotionally, but financially as well depending on the type of injury sustained, the ability to work or not, and mounting medical expenses and other bills. The good news is that there is financial help available. It is called litigation funding, sometimes known as a “lawsuit loan.”

Litigation funding is designed to provide a cash advance to plaintiffs who are waiting for their case to settle. It can be the financial lifeline for a plaintiff throughout a long litigation process. While some call it a “lawsuit loan,” it is not like a typical bank loan. The cash advance is provided based on the strength of your case and does not require credit checks or employment history for approval. Additionally, there are no monthly payments and the cash advance is not paid back until your win your case. And, if you lose, you pay nothing back.

A lawsuit cash advance with Lawsuit Financial is quick and easy. Simply fill out an online application or call our office toll-free. Out investors will review your case and determine the likelihood of a favorable settlement. If your case is approved, Lawsuit Financial will wire the funds to your account for immediate use to be use. Although the lawsuit cash advance is usually to pay for immediate living expenses and medical expenses, it can be used as you wish until your case settles. Lawsuit funding is not for everyone, but it can be a very powerful tool to help a plaintiff fight for fair compensation.

Thousands of innocent victims are injured or die due to the negligence of someone else. These unfortunate events can result from an auto accident, medical malpractice, slip and fall, or product liability.

Many plaintiffs who have been severely injured due to no fault of their own, can be financially devastated and unable to work for weeks, months, even years; they will lack significant income during their recovery period. Sadly, these victims normally lack the credit history and/or employment history to qualify for a traditional loan. Even if they could, conventional loans need monthly payments which can be a further burden to their situation.

With litigation funding, there are no upfront fees or monthly payments. Litigation funding is a feasible financial lifeline for many plaintiffs; it enables plaintiffs to pursue justice without putting their life on hold by sacrificing other essential financial responsibilities. Instead of worrying about finances, a plaintiff can focus on recovering from injuries while awaiting a trial verdict or settlement.

Sometimes called a “lawsuit loan,” litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance based on the potential value of a pending lawsuit; it bridges the gap from the accident date to the settlement date. Unlike a traditional loan, litigation funding is not a loan in the true sense; it is a pre-settlement cash advance, as it is contingent upon the outcome of the case. The funding provider buys a piece of the future settlement proceeds of the lawsuit, contingent upon the future outcome of the case. Essentially, a plaintiff obtains money right now in exchange for a certain amount of any settlement or judgment received from the litigation.

A plaintiff can get access to the funds needed before receiving a settlement. Because a wealthy defense litigant – big business and insurance companies – can outspend the average citizen, lawsuit funding may be the only way to level the playing field. The only requirements when seeking lawsuit funding is to have an ongoing case and retain an attorney. Lawsuit funding helps achieve a larger settlement. Why? Because when a plaintiff is strapped for cash, he/she has a tendency to settle for less than the case value; accepting a low-ball offer from the insurance company. Lawsuit funding is the money needed now so a plaintiff can wait for the legal system to do its job. Lawsuit funding is not for everyone, but for many innocent victims it is the only hope to stay financially afloat while maintaining a fight for fair compensation.

If you have a legal claim, and an attorney representing you, you can apply for a lawsuit cash advance with Lawsuit Financial. Call us toll free, at 1-877-377-SUIT or visit us online for a free, no obligation. We will evaluate your case, and if approved, funding can be available within 24 – 48 hours.

A woman in a Kia Optima was entering the intersection when a driver in a pick-up truck ran a red light slamming into her broadside. Initially, the driver of the truck admitted guilt, but after talking with his insurance company he changed his story. When her own insurance company tried to settle with a low-ball offer, the woman sought legal counsel. She sustained serious injuries with medical bills surpassing $7,500 and was unable to work for six months. The bills were piling up and her attorney told her it would take some time to prove liability. Even when she returned to work, there was not enough income to pay all her bills.

In another case, a woman lost her husband; her 3 young children their father as a result of medical negligence. Her husband died after a routine angioplasty procedure. The cardiologist made three attempts to perform an angioplasty, but was unsuccessful. When the patient began complaining of chest pains, the doctor discovered a perforation in the left anterior descending coronary artery. The patient's vital signs collapsed rapidly; resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. A lawsuit alleged the stent used for the procedure was too large and the doctor was inexperienced. The man was the sole supporter for the family and his death was completely unexpected. The insurance company offered the family $250,000. The family asked their attorney to accept the offer because they were strapped for cash; remember the man was their sole means of financial support.

These two cases are perfect examples how personal injuries and wrongful deaths can seriously disrupt your life or the lives of loved one. They are also cases where lawsuit funding can help.

A lawsuit cash advance is a lifeline to help financially strapped plaintiffs pay medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage, and other important bills. Unfortunately, creditors don’t care that you are disabled. They don’t care that you can't work. They only want their bill paid.

Legal Finance services, like those offered by Lawsuit Financial Corporation, provide personal injury victims with the money they need to pay regular monthly bills, medical expenses, funeral expenses, car payments, rent, groceries and other ordinary and necessary bills. There are no monthly payments to make; we are not a bank. There are no credit checks; your credit history does not matter and you don’t need to prove employment. Funding is based solely on the strength of the case and you only pay back the money if, and when the lawsuit is won and settled. This is because lawsuit settlement funding is non-recourse funding, meaning, if the case is lost, you pay absolutely nothing back.

Another advantage of lawsuit funding is that you do not have to accept a less than fair settlement from the insurance company. Our goal 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. We want you to focus on your lawsuit; we want you to obtain full compensation for your injuries, no matter how long it takes.

If you suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one due to an auto accident, wrongful death, slip and fall, or defective product, you will most likely face a long road physically, emotionally, and financially. Don’t be tempted to accept a lower than acceptable offer due to the fact that you are in dire need of money. Get the financial help you need; call Lawsuit Financial.

Truck accidents almost always involve big trucks against smaller passenger vehicles and almost always have serious, sometimes tragic, consequences. Commercial truck drivers who are inadequately trained in driving techniques, safety concerns, and defensive driving can be just as dangerous. It is equally dangerous to impose unrealistic schedules and expectations that encourage drivers to hurry, despite the safety risks involved.

On January 23, 2009, a truck driver slammed into an Infiniti, killing the driver. A front seat passenger in the Infiniti suffered a crushed pelvis, ribs, and vertebrae; his lung was punctured, and vision in one eye is still impaired. The truck driver pleaded guilty of vehicular homicide and the truck’s owner pleaded guilty of ordering the truck driver to drive cross country knowing the brakes were defective. Reports showed that owner repeatedly put off having the truck’s failing brakes replaced after the vehicle had been stopped and cited for safety violations in several states. Additionally, an auto service owner admitted selling the truckers inspection stickers without examining the defective vehicle.

Last week, the truck driver pleaded guilty to 15 counts of falsifying his log books to conceal that he was driving in excess of the lawful number of allowable driving hours without the required rest period. On January 2009, the night before the fatal accident, the trucker claimed he was in a sleeper berth when he was actually on the road.

The innocent driver of the Infiniti has left behind a wife and three children. His widow said the negligence of the truck driver, trucking company owner, and auto service owner denied her husband the enjoyment of their three children’s rites of passage - birthdays, Confirmation, first prom, high school graduation, and search for a college. She stated in a packed courtroom, “No sentence you could bestow upon this person could be enough.”

Trucking accidents cause thousands of catastrophic and devastating injuries and deaths each year, resulting in lawsuits which can often take an extended time to settle.
A truck driver's lack of sleep plays an important role in these accidents, as over 30% of them are caused or contributed to by a sleep-deprived truck driver. Commercial truck drivers must certify the truthfulness and accuracy of their logbooks, which are inspected by the U.S. Department of Transportation. According to federal authorities, logbooks are examined to ensure drivers have not exceeded the 11-hour maximum allowable daily driving hours without the required 10 consecutive hours of rest or off-duty time.

If you or someone you love has been involved in a serious truck accident that is not your fault, and you have retained an attorney, Lawsuit Financial can help you and your family with truck accident lawsuit funding. You may qualify for a lawsuit cash advance and receive money in as little as 24 hours after your initial application. Do not resolve your case for less than full value because of pressing financial need; ease your financial burden and give your attorney the time needed to obtain full value on your case. If you have not retained an attorney, Lawsuit Financial’s exclusive national attorney referral service can refer you to a specialist in truck accidents in all 50 states. It is important that you consult with an experience truck accident attorney to discuss your legal rights and options regarding these serious cases.

An auto accident took the life of Rockford, IL last Friday when her vehicle was hit by a pick-up truck. The accident is still under investigation, but preliminary reports show that the drive of the pick-up failed to yield at a stop sign colliding with the woman’s Chevy Cavalier. The driver of the pick-up was treated for injuries and released; the Cavalier driver was pronounced dead at the hospital. Both drivers were wearing their safety belts, and airbags deployed in both vehicles, officials said.

Intersections can be very dangerous with vehicles turning, drivers changing lanes, pedestrians crossing and stopping at stoplights. Each factor increases the risk driver negligence and a subsequent auto accident. Liability can be difficult to determine; every case is unique, but most intersection accidents are due to human errors such as inattentive driving, drunk driving, reckless behavior, texting and other driver negligence. In these cases liability falls onto the driver who caused the accident.

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.

If you are seeking lawsuit funding for a nursing home abuse or negligence case, begin by completing a lawsuit funding application. Lawsuit Financial provides non-recourse funding to help financially strapped plaintiffs during their pending lawsuit. We offer a quick and easy approval process - less than 48 hours. There are no upfront fees, monthly payments, credit checks or employment verifications. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if you lose your case you owe nothing. It really is a risk-free option for plaintiffs.

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. An attorney will ensure you get fair and equitable compensation for your devastating injuries.

A woman is suing a former Chicago Bears running back claiming his dog attacked her, biting her in the right breast.

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. The lawsuit contends that Air Methods failed to put enough fuel in the Eurocopter AS350 before transporting his wife from a hospital in Bethany, Mo., to Liberty Hospital.

Families like this one often turn to an experienced lawsuit funding company for the financial assistance they need to get through the long, legal process and to achieve true justice in their cases. Litigation funding is money given in advance of an expected settlement or jury verdict. A timely lawsuit cash advance would allow the plaintiff to pay all bills associated with his wife's death as well as regular bills and expenses that may accumulate as a result of the loss of her earnings. “Lawsuit loan'” companies, as some call us, look only to the value and quality of the lawsuit for collateral. Your personal financial condition does not matter.

A quick, free, phone call or website visit will get them started; a legal finance application can be completed by phone or online. Once an applicant is approved, your lawsuit cash advance is sent, by check or wire, within 24-48 hours. This is, truly, no-risk lawsuit funding.

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.

Chicago police are concerned about the recent rise in hit-and-run accidents in Illinois over the last few months. Unfortunately, there are many factors contributing to the abundance of hit-and-runs, but the most prevalent are the number of unlicensed or illegal drivers and the fear of driving under the influence.

Recent statistics from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) show that more than 2,600 people die yearly in hit-and-run accidents. However hit-and-run accidents are not limited to multiple vehicles accidents. One out of every 5 pedestrians killed on the roads die from a hit-and-run, according to NHTSA.

Drivers involved in auto-pedestrian accidents are required, by law, in most states, to stay at the scene of the accident and render aid. In a recent Lake Zurich accident, the driver left the scene after hitting a pedestrian, leaving her for dead and her two friends injured. Police are still searching for a light-colored SUV they believe struck the three teens from behind as they were walking on the shoulder of the road. The auto-pedestrian accident occurred on July 22, 2011.

No legal action can ever bring back a loved one killed in an auto accident, but it is more devastating when justice is forestalled by a hit and run driver who evades police and refuses to take responsibility for his/her carelessness and negligence. A hit and run accident can be very complicated. Hit and run laws vary from state-to-state and so does insurance liability. While most insurance companies will pay for damaged caused by a hit and run accident, some may deny coverage if the accident resulted in a crime. It is imperative you contact an attorney to help preserve your legal rights. An experienced auto accident attorney will work with the investigative team to reconstruct the accident to find the person responsible and hold them accountable.

If you suffered an injury, or lost a loved one in a hit-and-run accident, you may be dealing with mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, and loss of wages. If the hit and run driver is not found, Lawsuit Financial hopes that the unfortunate victim was wise enough to secure uninsured motorist coverage from her own insurance company. This valuable and inexpensive coverage insures accident victims who are injured by uninsured or un-located hit and run drivers. Coverage limits should be purchased for the highest limits available (or, at least to the same limits to which you would insure yourself if you happen to be the negligent driver). Policyholders can also purchase underinsured motorist coverage to protect themselves if they are injured by someone who has minimal insurance. With this coverage, their own carrier picks up the difference between the value of an injury and the amount of the negligent party's insurance (up to the limits you purchase-again, it is our strong advice that you purchase as much as you can afford).

Whether or not the family of the deceased teen can pursue the negligent party, because he/she is found, or whether they pursue the case as an uninsured motorist case, lawsuit funding is a service they may want to consider. If the family qualifies, ordinary and/or extraordinary expenses can be made by a lawsuit funding company while awaiting a settlement or verdict in the case.

If you have recently filed a claim against the insurance company it could realistically take months, or even years, before a settlement is reached. Call Lawsuit Financial to learn how we may be able to help secure the money you need to pay bills while waiting for fair compensation.

Lawsuit Financial is a pro-justice litigation funding company providing strategic litigation funding to plaintiffs in personal injury lawsuits; strategic because injured or disabled plaintiffs do not pursue litigation on a level playing field. Insurance companies have all the money and power; plaintiffs have neither. While plaintiffs can retain attorneys on a contingency fee basis, injury and/or disability almost always causes economic hardship to victims and their families.

Strategic litigation funding comes into play when the insurance company presents a low offer during the litigation process. Due to financial constraints, a plaintiff may feel compelled to accept this unfair and unjust offer; acceptance that will cost plaintiffs significant recovery dollars and increase insurance company profits.

With Lawsuit Financial, plaintiffs have another option. We will fund many types of litigation including malpractice, personal injury, product liability, wrongful death, auto accident, employment, slip and fall, dog bites, among others. Lawsuit Financial understands the urgency for fast cash; we offer a 24 – 48 hour approval process. There are no application fees, no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no employment verification. We provide non-recourse “lawsuit loans” meaning you only repay the cash advance if, and when, you win your case.

Here are some of the most recent cases we have funded:
•Plaintiff approved for a $10,000 cash advance after a rear-end accident with another vehicle. Plaintiff suffered serious injuries and will undergo several surgeries and rehabilitation.
•Plaintiff approved for pre-settlement funding of $5,000. This is the third cash advanced the plaintiff has been approved for to cover medical expenses after a slip and fall accident.
•Plaintiff approved for $4,000 in an auto accident lawsuit that resulted in a broken leg and neck injuries. Cash advance needed to prevent foreclosure.
•Plaintiff filed medical malpractice lawsuit. Baby needs surgery immediately to avoid permanent disfigurement due to doctor’s negligence. Family approved for $32,000.
•Plaintiff contacted Lawsuit Financial after declining the first offer by the insurance company. Plaintiff received litigation funding in the amount of $6,000 to pay the mortgage and other expenses.

If you are have been injured due to the negligence of someone else, are represented by an attorney, and seeking lawsuit funding to help pay the mortgage, car payment, medical bills, and monthly household bills, call the firm with the most combined legal and lawsuit financing experience; call Lawsuit Financial. Since there is a substantial difference between the money and power of a plaintiff who is doing battle with a powerful and well-financed insurance company, we try to help the plaintiff stay the course and obtain the best litigation results possible. We help plaintiffs even the odds.

A Cedar City, Iowa auto accident involving ten occupants from two vehicles, a family of seven in an SUV and three occupants in a minivan, caused one fatality and injuries to four others. The accident occurred at an intersection when the driver of the minivan attempted to make a left turn in front of the SUV, striking the SUV broadside during the turn. Was the driver of the minivan distracted, trying to beat the light, or speeding? Hopefully, these questions will be answered after a complete investigation by the Cedar City Police Department.

In the meantime, the grief that follows the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming. Even before the grief has subsided, families often find themselves faced with financial hardship as they try to pay the cost of a funeral and try to adjust to life without a loved one. Those injured may be facing physical and financial hardships. Injuries may result in significant medical bills, physical therapy, disability or long-term care, and loss of income. It is imperative that the accident victims and their families contact an experienced auto accident attorney to learn whether they have a right to compensation.

Assuming the victims have a valid case, how do they survive financially through the litigation process when face with mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, emotional trauma, car repairs, and pain and suffering?

A 49-year-old Fargo man died after becoming pinned under a large metal bin while working at Butler Industries, a manufacturing and distributing company of agricultural equipment. He died in the hospital two days later from a traumatic brain injury.

The metal bin, similar to a commercial dumpster, was being loaded onto a truck when it slipped and landed on the man. An Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) investigation is underway, but may takes months to determine what caused this fatality. Whatever the determining cause – negligence, defective parts, etc., it will be imperative to put the proper measures in place so it does not happen again.

Whether or not this becomes a workers compensation case, a wrongful death case, or both, litigation is a foregone conclusion. An insurance company will represent the employer in a workers compensation lawsuit, or, if an alternate contractor was negligent, the contractor in a wrongful death lawsuit. This case may take months, if not years to resolve. Investigations must be conducted and the court dockets are crowded; it may easily take awhile for a case to wind its way through the legal process.

This unfortunate family has lost its principal means of support and may need some financial help to get through the long litigation process. They may want to consider a service known as lawsuit funding. Lawsuit funding, or lawsuit loan, as some call this valuable service, will assist the family with their ordinary bills and expenses as well as funeral and other accident related extraordinary expenses. The litigation funding company provides a lawsuit cash advance based on the merits of the lawsuit; your credit rating or job status does not matter. And, if you lose your case, the lawsuit cash advance is excused; you do not have to pay it back. This is called non-recourse lawsuit funding.

It is very easy to apply either by phone or online. If you qualify, you will have the money you need within 24-48 hours after approval. Please note that workers compensation lawsuit funding is not available in all states. The legal finance professionals can provide you with a list of those states where workers compensation lawsuit funding is available. Don't settle you case for pennies on the dollar before your case is ready. Give your attorney the time he/she needs to get you the right amount of compensation for your loss.

If you are like most people who filed a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, you are wondering about your financial stability. Usually the first question that comes to mind is - how will I pay your monthly bills? Although there are many options – borrowing from a bank or friend - they may not be best suited for your case or needs.

Mark Bello, CEO and founder of Lawsuit Financial, recognized that although plaintiffs might have different financial needs during the litigation process, they all share the same urgency for immediate cash. Over the last several years there has been a huge spike in legal financing. This is because more people are becoming aware that the option exists; it’s also because in this economy many Americans already struggle financially to make ends meet especially with the high unemployment rate.

When a plaintiff doesn’t have the financial ability to pay their bills while waiting for a settlement, they may only have two choices – settle too soon for too little, or apply for litigation funding. Lawsuit Financial puts every effort into providing lawsuit funding during the litigation process, pre and post trial, to ensure that focus is on the pending case and not on financial responsibilities. With Lawsuit Financial, there is a silver lining in the dark cloud. We will fund many types of litigation including malpractice, personal injury, product liability, wrongful death, auto accident, employment, slip and fall, dog bites, among others.

Lawsuit funding is not a loan because the money does not have to be paid back unless the case is won or settled. There are no upfront fees, no monthly payments and no credit check. Can’t work because of your injuries? No problem! Pre-settlement funding is based strictly on the strength of your case. Best of all, a lawsuit cash advance carries no risk because the plaintiff owes nothing if they lose the case. If approved, funding is available within 24–48 hours. Applying for lawsuit funding is an easy, no hassle, no risk way to pay your bills timely in the event that your lawsuit is not.

If you are in need of lawsuit funding, consider Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice leader. To begin the process, apply online today.

Two young children watched in horror as their mother who was sunbathing on a beach in Florida was run over by a Beach Patrol. The Wichita, KS woman was lying on her stomach in the sand when a 21 year-old part-time lifeguard driving a beach patrol made a right-hand U-turn and struck her in the head. The woman was rushed to the hospital where she remained for a week. She suffered hearing loss, facial fractures, broken ribs and other injuries. As an investigation into the accident continues, the woman, her husband, and two small children have returned home.

The woman's attorney recently filed a lawsuit seeking damages for negligence against the county. The suit alleges that the lifeguard was poorly trained and made a careless decision. The lawsuit also alleges that the County was aware that the beach patrol vehicles, F-150 pick-ups, have blind spots and failed to do anything about it.

Since 1995, there have been 49 Volusia beach-driving accidents in which a pedestrian or sunbathers were injured or killed. While not all were accidents with a county vehicle, county officials are discussing changes to vehicles used by the Beach Patrol, with plans to phase out many of the pickups for safer all-terrain-vehicles. They also plan to revamp beach safety protocol. The woman was the third beach-goer hit by a county vehicle since June 2010.

Even though this appears to be a strong case for the plaintiff, it can take a year or more to settle. Claims require a significant investment in time, effort, and resources. It can be difficult to stay the course if faced with financial worries. Her medical bills are expected to exceed $100,000. With a lawsuit cash advance, she would able to pay some of her medical bills and other expenses until the case settles.

Lawsuit financing enables people to pursue justice without having to put their life on hold by sacrificing other essential financial responsibilities. Instead of worrying about finances, they can focus on recovering from their injuries though they await a trial verdict or settlement.

Contact Lawsuit Financial for a free consultation. We will follow up with your attorney, evaluate your case material and let you know within 24- 48 hours if you are eligible for lawsuit funding. There is no application fee, credit check or employment verification required. If approved for lawsuit funding, your attorney will retain complete control over your case. Lawsuit Financial will not get involved with your case technique and or obtain payment until after the case is settled. If you lose your case you owe us absolutely nothing. And, you will keep the lawsuit cash advance with our compliments.

As crews sift through debris of a concert stage that collapsed at the Indiana State Fair, trying to determine what caused the accident that killed five people and injured at least 45, the innocent people affected by this tragedy are trying to copy physically, emotionally, and financially.

The Indiana State Fair shutdown Saturday after a stage collapsed during a powerful storm sending steel scaffolding into the crowd and killing at least five people, and injuring at least 45 as they waited for the start of a performance by the country band, Sugarland. The injuries run the gamut from broken bones to head injuries and severe bruises; some injuries are so severe that the death toll could rise.

A severe thunderstorm warning had been issued for Marion County with 60 mph winds a full half-hour before the stage collapsed. Fair officials said they had been monitoring the weather and were constantly trying to "figure out what was coming, when it was coming, and get people to a position of safety as best they could with the information that we had." But, they were also reported saying that concert organizers hoped the show would go on. It wasn't until shortly before 9 p.m. that a fair announcer warned patrons that severe weather was possible giving evacuation instructions, if necessary. But, according to attendees and workers, the emergency sirens never sounded. Unfortunately, for fairgoers, a "significant gust of wind" struck the staging moments later causing it to collapse; they had no time to escape.

If severe weather was predicted, why was the fair allowed to continue? Indiana is known to be volatile to quick changes in weather and severe storms and tornados, and everyone knows that weather can change quickly. An imminent storm should not have been taken so lightly; the fair should have been shutdown for the safety of fairgoers.

Investigations will determine what really caused the steel scaffolding to give way. Was the scaffolding erected and secured properly? Why didn’t fair officials shut it down, if only as a precautionary measure for so many patrons? Why did they wait to make an announcement only 15 minutes before the storm was predicted to strike the area?

There will most likely be lawsuits filed. After retaining an attorney, seeking justice may place a financial burden on the victims and their family. These plaintiffs may be experiencing problems paying bills, such as medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage, rent, and daily expenses dye to the loss of wages.

If they are struggling to make ends meet, lawsuit funding could be an option. Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against a potential jury verdict or settlement. At Lawsuit Financial, we know how devastating serious injuries or the sudden death of a loved one can be, and the emotional and financial impacts it can cause. The goal of the insurance company is to settle quickly and cheaply; not to receive justice. Lawsuit Financial hopes that by assisting with some of the mounting bills and expenses as a result of the lawsuit, the plaintiff can wait for justice to be served. We provide plaintiffs with immediate cash to give them and their attorney time to negotiate a fair and equitable settlement. The plaintiff only pays us back if they win their case; lose, and they owe us nothing. The application process is quick and easy. Call us today or visit us online to apply or learn more.

Case 1:
At age 27, a man had surgery for a ruptured disc. After surgery, the pain increased, becoming unbearable. The pain and numbness in his back spread to his left side and down to his foot, causing atrophy. Now, ten year later, he is unable to work, a victim of chronic pain in his back and hips that he said feels like someone has taken a searing-hot poker to his body. He no longer has feeling in his left foot, has difficulty walking and often falls. He expects to be on narcotic painkillers the rest of his life just to tolerate the pain. The man is on disability, a loss of about 40 percent of his former income, and he and his wife are struggling to keep their home.

Case 2:
A woman experienced pain for years due to an accident when she was a high school gymnast and a few minor auto accidents. The pain worsened over the years. After a spinal fusion, the pain persisted. An epidural was recommended to relieve the pain, but by 2006 it was so severe that she was having uncontrollable tremors. An MRI revealed the woman had a ruptured disc and her vertebrae had not fused after surgery. She was fortunate to have the problem repaired, but still experiences pain that will never go away. She can barely turn her head and has difficulty driving.

Case 3:
A woman didn't know why her right leg suddenly began to hurt. It became so severe that she couldn’t stand up without pain shooting down her leg. Then it reversed and she couldn’t sit down without feeling the pain. She was diagnosed with a herniated disc and scheduled for immediate surgery. After surgery, the pain in her leg worsened added by intense back pain. An MRI revealed that a bone used to repair her spine had dislodged and shifted, requiring another surgery. After a 2nd surgery, the woman was immediately in “agonizing” pain. A post-operative MRI showed her spinal cord was nicked and leaking fluid. Doctors say she will eventually be permanently disabled and probably lose the use of her legs. She is unable to work without narcotic painkillers.

Case 4:
When an athlete experienced loss in arm strength while playing basketball, he was told he needed spinal surgery to repair a disc in his neck. Within a month of surgery, the man could walk and drive again, but during a follow-up doctor appointment he was told that the screws and plate used to fuse his neck vertebrae from the front were coming apart and would need to be taken out and put in the back of his neck. Three operations later, he can no longer walk and is paralyzed on the right side of his body. The paralysis is due to a cutting of the spinal cord, a condition that is untreatable. He takes 42 pills a day, his memory is fading, and he depends on his wife for even basic tasks.

What do all of these cases have in common? Neurosurgeon Stefan Konasiewicz! Dr. Konasiewicz (Dr. K) has a long malpractice register with nine medical malpractice cases filed against him during his time at St. Luke’s Hospital in Duluth, Minnesota. Three cases are still pending. Five were settled out of court:

•2001: Patient treated for carpal tunnel syndrome lost the use of her right arm for several years and says her right hand is still numb. Dr. K and St. Luke’s settled for about $85,000.
•2003: Patient suffered fractured vertebrae after being injected with the wrong dye. The case settled for about $300,000.
•2004 Patient got an infection from a surgical procedure to alleviate pain from a herniated disc. She died within a week of the operation. Her widower won a settlement of about $355,000.
•2005: Patient’s aorta was cut when she underwent spinal surgeries. Dr. K missed the hole in her aorta and she bled to death 12 hours later. Her family settled for $1.45 million.
•2007: Patient is paralyzed from the neck down after being improperly secured during neck surgery. Her family settled for more than $1 million.

St. Mary’s allowed Dr. K to continue as a neurosurgeon despite these lawsuits and concerns by doctors and staff about his competence. It wasn’t until September 2010 that he was reprimanded by the Minnesota Board of Medical Practice, but by this time he had left the state. Texas had implemented damages caps, so what better state for a negligent doctor to work. And, ready with a welcoming hug was Governor Rick Perry
.
While the latest lawsuit is underway in Minnesota for a botched brain biopsy which left a patient severely brain damaged, aTexas man who had back surgery three months ago and is still unable to get around without a walker maybe considering a lawsuit of his own. Recently learning the truth about Dr. K, the victim feels deceived because he searched the Texas Medical Board website for complaints against Dr. K and nothing turned up. Why? Because the doctors in the state are able to make agreements to keep some malpractice cases off of public record. Don’t patients deserve to know about these allegations? If it doesn’t matter in Texas, does this mean no matter what happens, no matter how many innocent people are seriously injured or die at the hands of Dr. K, he will be able to continue operating on patients in Texas? This is how tort reform is protecting Texans.

The auto accident occurred when the driver of a 2005 Chevy Silverado became distracted by his cell phone. The vehicle crossed the center lane colliding with a 2009 Ford Fusion. Neither of the vehicles had passengers, and while the driver of the Silverado was wearing his seatbelt, the woman in the Fusion was not. She was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries. She has been unable to work for six months; her medical bills have already surpassed $5,000.

Initially, the driver of the Silverado admitted guilt, but after talking with his insurance company he changed his story. Complications with her own insurance company have forced the woman to file an auto accident lawsuit. To help with her expenses, she sought litigation funding through Lawsuit Financial. This lawsuit funding comes as a lifeline during a difficult time. With the lawsuit cash advance, she received immediate cash to pay medical expenses, mortgage, and other important bills in order to wait for a settlement of her claim.

An advantage of lawsuit funding is that it provides a plaintiff with the capability to negotiate with the other party without being tempted to accept a lower than acceptable offer due to a dire need of money. It is not a lawsuit loan; you do not need to prove employment and credit history and funding is based solely on the strength of the case. Best of all, you only need to pay back the money when the lawsuit is won and settled. If you lose your case, you pay back absolutely nothing! That is because the funding company takes all the risks.

If you suffered serious injuries an auto accident due to another driver’s negligence, filing a lawsuit may be the only way to receive just compensation for your injuries and pain and suffering. Don’t let your losses extend to your finances. With the help of lawsuit funding, you can pick up the pieces and get on with your life. Contact Lawsuit Financial today!

The victim was driving a SUV when he was broadsided by a state Department of Transportation utility truck. The accident occurred when the drivers crossed an intersection at the same time. The driver of the SUV suffered a T-12 burst fracture which rendered him a paraplegic. Now he is unable to walk without leg braces and the use of a walker or wheelchair. The DOT worker suffered a cervical vertebrae fracture and partial paralysis to the right side of his body and both lower extremities. He also suffered a mild traumatic brain injury. Neither man has been able to return to work since the auto accident happened.

Both men filed an auto accident lawsuit claiming they had the right-of-way. An investigation and reconstruction of the accident could not determine who ran the red light. The trials were consolidated and presented to the same jury. During the trial, six witnesses gave contradicting testimony, although the final witness claimed the driver of the SUV had the green light. It appears that the jury awarded in favor of the SUV driver because of the one witness’ statement and because his vehicle was the one struck. But, the award was reduced after assessing him to be 5% negligent for driving over the posted speed limit at the time of the accident.

This case outlines the value of seeking lawsuit funding in contentious litigation. Qualifying for litigation funding is based on expectations, not results. Does the case look like it has value? Does liability seem to be something that is likely to be decided in the plaintiff's favor? This particular case is unusual in that there were two plaintiffs (and two defendants). Both had serious injuries; one more than the other and both appeared to have a valid case. They may have been able to apply, and be approved for a lawsuit cash advance against a prospective settlement or verdict. To qualify, their attorney would have presented records and opinions that suggested the plaintiff had a good chance of a favorable settlement or verdict.

Proving liability in any case can be complicated resulting in a long legal process. Let's assume each plaintiff's attorney had an honest, professional opinion that the case had a good chance of being successful. Let's also assume that the amount of legal finance sought was reasonable and fit comfortably into the prospective value of the case. The facts of this case could certainly have been interpreted by a jury in favor of the either plaintiff. So, in this case, had each plaintiff been approved for a "lawsuit loan", they would have received the money within 24-48 hours of approval. They would have paid no upfront fees or monthly payments of any kind. The lawsuit funding could then be used to pay medical expenses and other important bills that fell behind as a result of their loss of work. With pressing financial issues resolved, all that would have been left was to wait for an outcome in the case.

Legal financing is contingent upon the actual outcome of the case, thus, a lawsuit funding company does what no one else can; it provides a guaranteed recovery to the plaintiff. In this case, if the driver of the SUV received litigation funding, he would have paid the lawsuit funding company principal plus interest. On the other had, a litigation funding company provided a cash advance to the DOT worker, there was no recovery from the plaintiff who lost the case. Assuming the lawsuit funding company provided a lawsuit cash advance of $5,000, $10,000, or even $15,000, the plaintiff would have been able to keep the cash advance without obligation to repay. That is because lawsuit funding is a non-recours guarantee, meaning the funding company bears all the risks.

A litigation funding company will look at your case, and if they believe it is a viable case, will advance a portion of the expected settlement to the plaintiff. A lawsuit cash advance can be used any way you choose, but it is recommended that it be used to meet your basic living expenses (e.g. mortgage, rent, utilities, car payments, food) or to assist with medical bills from your injuries during your recovery. The lawsuit funding company assumes all the risks. Should a plaintiff lose their case, they owe nothing.

If you have a pending personal injury lawsuit settlement and your bills are piling up, consider lawsuit funding. It is simple to apply online or in person. You have nothing to lose with lawsuit funding, but a lot to gain – financially while waiting for case settlement. If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one in an auto accident due to the negligence of someone else, call Lawsuit Financial Lawsuit Financial to apply or for a no-obligation consultation.

A Galveston, Texas, auto-pedestrian incident has resulted in a wrongful death lawsuit. A drunk driver drove onto the sidewalk and slammed into a man, his stepson, and another child as they were walking home from a Mother's Day celebration in 2009. All three pedestrians died of blunt-force trauma. The drunk driver had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit.

Relatives of the victims filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the drunk driver, the bar which served him drinks, and the bar owners arguing that the drunk driver left the bar in an intoxicated state. The suit further stated that the man was served drinks despite the fact that he had already been drinking prior to arriving at the bar and was noticeable intoxicated.

In the state of Texas, it is illegal to serve alcohol to people that appear to be intoxicated. Therefore, the bar owners could be found at fault in this tragic auto accident. The families are seeking damages for pain and mental anguish and other unspecified monetary damages.

Faced with depletion of financial resources and possibly dealing with severe injuries, and/or loss of employment a plaintiff might be faced with no other option than to settle the claim for too little. But, there is another answer. Litigation financing is an excellent way to prevent foreclosure, pay funeral expenses, medical expenses, or avoid bankruptcy. It also helps to prevent damage to a plaintiff's credit score.

Pre-settlement lawsuit funding enables plaintiffs in lawsuits to receive cash months or years before their claims have settled. Best of all, lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance based solely on the merits of a pending lawsuit. It is repaid only upon a successful settlement. If the plaintiff does not receive a favorable cash settlement, he/she need not pay back the cash advanced. In the right situation, for the right plaintiff, lawsuit funding is clearly a service that plaintiffs and personal injury attorneys should consider at a strategic time in the litigation. Call or visit Lawsuit Financial to learn how litigation funding can help you.

Two men have filed separate lawsuits against the Roman Catholic Diocese of Monterey, CA claiming that negligence by church officials allowed them to be molested by priests. In one case, the victim said he only recently discovered the psychological damage he suffered from the 18 month long molestation. His lawsuit claims diocese officials were aware of previous allegations of abuse against the same priest and that they had reason to suspect the abuse, but failed to inform the victim’s family. In the second case, the abuse by a Salinas priest led the 16-year-old teen to attempt suicide twice. At no time did the diocese advise parishioners of the allegations. Both suits claim negligence by the diocese and seek unspecified damages. The Monterey diocese has faced at least one other lawsuit alleging abuse by one of its priests. It settled that suit in 2009 for $1.2 million.

Unless you have been hiding under a rock, you are aware of the sex abuse scandals that have plagued the Catholic Church dating back to the late 1980’s. As an attorney who has handled Catholic priest abuse cases, it continues to boggle my mind that these dioceses would not only cover up these sexual abuse, but would also allow the offender to re-offend. That is correct; despite their despicable conduct, the Church transfers the priest to another parish. Why weren’t these children protected? No child should ever suffer sexual abuse from anyone; this is especially true of those we entrust our children's safety to, like priests, teachers, and coaches.

Child abusers seek to operate and abuse their power within nurturing, child-friendly environments where it is assumed that nobody would want to harm a child. Child sexual abuse is scary, but you don't have to feel powerless. We, as parents, have the most power to our protect children. Talk to your kids; explain what physical acts of conduct are and are not acceptable. Furthermore, explain to them that they need to be open and honest with you. If they feel someone is approaching them in an inappropriate or questionable manner, they need to tell you right away. Reporting sexual misconduct is the best way to bring a predator to justice and prevent him/her from harming others. Every time you share a fact with someone about child molestation, and every time you tell them what can be done to stop it, you are building a stronger safety net for children.

If you or someone you love has been a victim of sexual abuse, it is important to contact the authorities immediately. You should also seek legal counsel from an attorney who specializes in sexual abuse cases. Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice lawsuit funding company, has a free referral program that will assist you in finding an attorney. The call is free; the advice is priceless.

A family vacation to Georgia turned deadly at the hands of a teen who was driving under the influence of alcohol. The 16-year-old male was speeding in a Dodge pick-up truck when it slammed into the back of a van stopped at a traffic light, pushing the van into another vehicle. The accident took the life of a 6-year-old girl and paralyzed her 3-year-old brother from the neck down. The boy remains in intensive care with a tracheotomy and will likely need treatment the rest of his life. Her parents and three other siblings suffered serious injuries. The accident remains under investigation. Lawsuit Financial sincerely hopes that the investigation will answer all currently unanswered questions.

Alcohol-related auto accidents are a serious, and preventable, problem in the United States. When a driver impaired by drugs or alcohol makes the decision to get behind the wheel, he puts himself and others at risk. The power and sheer force of a speeding vehicle is a dangerous weapon that could forever change your life.

In cases like this, lawsuits are, typically, the way to compensate the victims and punish the perpetrator. This entire family is struggling emotionally and physically.

A man suffered multiple fractures after slipping on ice underneath an un-shoveled commercial sidewalk. The couple filed a personal injury lawsuit alleging that heavy snow had fallen five or six days earlier and the sidewalk had not been plowed by Quality Automotive or the property owner. Quality Automotive said the property owner was responsible for the sidewalk and disputed the injuries. The injured victim ultimately recovered $500,000.

Slip and fall lawsuits more often than not, take a long time to reach a decision. Plaintiffs and their attorneys are continuously blamed for the rising costs of civil litigation cases, when research has shown that it is the actions of corporations and insurance companies driving up costs. Defendants use 3D tactics - deny, delay, and defend - as a means of discouraging claimants from pursuing their legitimate claims. It is part of their scheme to wriggle out of paying for their negligence. Even if the plaintiff has a strong chance of winning, these tactics can still be employed because the defense can afford to stall.

Victims may, or may not, struggle financially in a long battle for justice. If the injured person is unable to work, has reduced income, or has expenses associated with care or disability; it may not be possible to wait until the end of the lawsuit before obtaining funds. A lawsuit financing company may be able to help.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance available to plaintiffs who are suffering from financial hardships while pursuing a lawsuit. It could be cash available before a decision is reached or funding available after litigation. Pre-settlement funding is specifically designed to let the plaintiff take control of their case. With lawsuit funding in the bank, the victim doesn’t need to accept the insurance company’s first offer and it increases the pressure on the insurance company to settle fairly or pay more as a result of a court award.

If you’re having a hard time fighting for your case due to finances, you may want to consider lawsuit funding. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, there is no risk to the plaintiff. Lawsuit Financial can help level the playing field with well-financed defendants without compromising your case. Call or apply online.

A jury declined to award damages to the family of a man hit and killed by a drunk driver after he stepped out from a cab to help victims of an auto accident. His family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the drunk driver. The suit also claimed that the bar where the woman worked as a dancer encouraged and pressured her to drink with customers to earn tips and served her drinks when she was visibly intoxicated. The defense argued that the victim stepped into oncoming traffic too quickly for the woman to avoid him. and was the sole proximate cause of the accident.

A 47-year-old woman was one of eight people on their way to a birthday party when she reached down to pick up a potato chip. The woman lost control of her vehicle and struck a guardrail. As a result of the accident, a family friend’s baby was killed and several other children suffered serious injuries, ranging from skull fractures to a lacerated liver.

Witnesses said the vehicle had been swerving, and police found numerous open beer cans in the vehicle. The driver's blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit. Additionally, the woman was driving with too many passengers, four adults and four children; it was only a four passenger vehicle. None of the children were in car seats; no one was wearing a seat belt.

Whether the mothers of these children files an automobile accident lawsuit against the drunk and distracted driver remains to be seen. They certainly have the right to pursue litigation for a wrongful death and personal injuries. An experienced auto accident attorney can pursue compensation for medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other costs associated with this auto accident.

If one or both families decide to pursue litigation, they may also wish to consider applying for lawsuit funding to assist with pressing bills such as medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage, car payments and other household expenses. Pre-settlement funding enables the plaintiff to wait for full case value, rather than being forced, by a difficult financial situation, to take the first, and less the fair, offer that is tendered. A lawsuit cash advance is easy to apply for online or by phone. It may permit these victims and others like them to handle their day-to-day financial woes, avoid settling their cases too early for too little, and retake control of their futures.

A jury awarded $245,000 in damages to a woman and her daughter who were injured in a July 2005 auto accident. Both suffered traumatic brain and back injuries.

Michigan is a no-fault auto accident state; the lawsuit sought non-economic damages for serious pain and suffering. The defendant and his insurance carrier, State Farm, alleged that the claim did not meet the serious injury threshold because the injuries were minimal or existed prior to the accident. After a hotly contested lawsuit, the jury determined that the injuries sustained by the woman and her daughter did qualify under the serious injury threshold and awarded in favor of the plaintiffs.

Prior to a Supreme Court ruling in August 2010, the woman and her daughter may not have received fair compensation. Until the ruling, it was more difficult for auto accident victims with serious injuries to seek compensation for pain and suffering; victims may have recovered nothing despite receiving very serious injuries. It was an almost impossible hurdle for a litigant to overcome.

In McCormick v. Carrier, the Supreme Court ruled that injured victims can file a liability claim under the state’s revised serious injury threshold law, restoring legal rights for auto accident victims. Thanks to the new standard, people who have suffered a serious injury have a fighting chance to be compensated for the pain and suffering they have endured. Insurance companies are now be forced to recognize legitimate claims and deal with innocent victims in a fair and just manner.

All too often, Lawsuit Financial sees victims having their lives turned upside down physically and financially as a result of serious injuries they sustained in an auto accident. In situations like this, our goal is to provide financial relief so plaintiffs can focus on their pending case, not their financial responsibilities. The primary reason to obtain legal finance services for living expenses, medical bills, mortgage, car payments or other important obligations is to prevent a litigant with a valuable pending personal injury case from settling too early, for too little compensation, just to pay the bills.

The parents of an 11-year-old Honors student filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Morey's Mariner’s Landing Pier in Wildwood, New Jersey alleging that their daughter fell 150 feet to her death because the amusement park negligently operated the Ferris wheel under high wind conditions and with inadequate restraints. The suit also alleges that the amusement park was negligent for allowing the child to ride alone and for not properly informing her of safety procedures associated with the ride.

The ride has no lap belt or seat belt restraints, but each gondola is partially surrounded by steel bars and the doors open inward and latch from the outside. According to the ride's manual, children older that 10 years of age and 54 inches in height are allowed to ride alone. The 11-year-old met both criteria.

Although the case is still under investigation, this amusement park accident does not appear to have been caused by any mechanical or operational error. However, operators will enact state recommendations for a minimum of two passengers per gondola, and will also increase the minimum height to ride without an adult from 54 inches to 60 inches. While the victim's parents agree with the state's new recommendations, they are urging for tougher guidelines including safety harness or restraint for all rides.

Morey's or the manufacturer of the Ferris wheel could be found held liable if the operator of the ride did not follow safety protocol, or if it is determined that there was a defect with the ride. A complete investigation may be quite lengthy and this wrongful death case may take a long time to settle.

On June 30, a Missouri man was pronounced dead at the scene of an auto accident when a trailer detached from a dump truck and smashed into his Ford F-150 pick-up.

Less than two weeks later, the widow has filed has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of a dump truck and the owner of the trailer alleging that her husband's death was caused when the trailer completely detached from the hitch. According to the lawsuit, the driver of the dump truck was negligent because:
*there were no safety chains attaching the trailer to the dump truck.
*no air brakes on the rear wheels of the trailer.
*no working lights on the rear of the trailer because the plugs on the trailer and dump truck were incompatible.
*the locking lever on the dump truck’s hitch was not fully set leaving a gap and loosening in the hitch.

The lawsuit also claims that due to the negligence of the driver and the owner of the trailer, the trailer was unsafely being towed on a public highway. If the trailer was attached properly it should not have come loose.

The family of the young college student may consider filing a wrongful death lawsuit.

Is pursuing a lawsuit putting a strain on your finances?

Are you considering settling your case just because you need cash now? If you have a pending lawsuit and cash is running out, lawsuit funding can bridge the gap. Lawsuit financing can help you pursue justice without sacrificing financial responsibilities. Instead of worrying about finances, focus on recovering from your injuries while awaiting a trial verdict or settlement.

How does lawsuit funding work?

If you are severely injured in an accident due to the negligence of someone else, loss of income and additional expenses may leave you financially devastated. A litigation funding company provides a cash advance against your lawsuit. Although some may call it a “lawsuit loan”, it is not a loan. Loans must be paid back; a lawsuit cash advance is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning that the advance is only paid back if, and when, you win your case. If you lose your case, you owe nothing; the repayment is forfeited by the lawsuit funding company.

What are the benefits of lawsuit funding?

Filing a lawsuit can be expensive, time-consuming and mentally exhausting. It’s not uncommon for cases to last for years before a verdict is reached and a settlement is awarded. A lawsuit cash advance can replace lost income, help pay medical bills, and even cover your living expenses until your case has settled.

You may not have the means to borrow money from family or friends, or qualify for a tradition bank loan. Even if this was an option, conventional loans require upfront fees and monthly payments which can be a further burden. Lawsuit funding is contingent on the outcome of your case. Your credit and employment history are not a factor in approval.

Pre-settlement funding will allow you and your attorney time so that you can receive the maximum benefits from your case, especially with personal injury cases. Oftentimes, people will settle a case early due to financial strains, but this does not have to happen when you apply for lawsuit funding.

How do you proceed?

The process to receive pre-settlement funding is quick and easy. After retaining an attorney, contact a lawsuit funding company to complete an application. The funding company will follow up with your attorney, evaluate your case, and if approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no application fees, credit checks, or employment verification required. Your attorney will retain complete control over your case; the litigation funding company does not become involved in the case and does not received repayment until the case is settled.

Lawsuit Financial provides a legal financing for personal injury cases including auto accident, slip and fall, wrongful death, and more.

Wrongful termination or employment discrimination happens when an employee is unfairly fired or laid. Being fired is troublesome, but the impact on one’s life, family, health, and finance can be devastating. Filing a wrongful termination / discrimination lawsuit is a way for an employee to seek relief, but it can also take a long time to settle adding more emotional and financial stress.

Most plaintiffs involved in wrongful termination or employment discrimination lawsuit are not aware that they can apply for lawsuit funding, a non-recourse pre-settlement cash advance before their lawsuit is settled. Lawsuit funding is considered a secured non-recourse because if the lawsuit reaches a final verdict in favor of the defendant, the lawsuit cash advance is forgiven; the plaintiff is absolved from repayment. Plaintiff only repays the lawsuit funding if, and when they win or settle the case.

If you have been wrongfully terminated or discharged, here are four easy steps in seeking lawsuit funding.

1. Complete the quick and easy application on line or via phone.
2. A representative from the lawsuit funding company will contact your attorney to request necessary documentation to review your request.
3. Once a completed application is received, the underwriters will review all documentation and make a determination. This process will take approximately 24 hours.
4. If approved, you and your attorney will sign the lawsuit funding agreement. Then funds can be wired to your bank account.

There are no upfront costs or monthly payments with lawsuit funding. Credit and employment history are not a factor. The lawsuit cash advance is paid back, plus fees, from the proceeds of the final recovery once the lawsuit is resolved.

By providing lawsuit funding, Lawsuit Financial helps plaintiffs to get relief from financial issues and helps them resist financial pressures to take low settlement offers. Lawsuit funding gives plaintiffs and their attorney the time required to induce the utmost attainable value for the case.

Lawsuit funding is not for everyone, but it may be necessary for a desperate plaintiff struggling to make ends meet. In the past, financially strapped plaintiffs were forced to settle their lawsuit for less than case value to avoid losing their home or vehicle. They could not get a bank loan or line of credit if they had lost their job.

Michigan trial attorney, Mark Bello, is sympathetic to the financial needs of injured plaintiffs. Mark is the founder and CEO of Lawsuit Financial Corporation, a lawsuit funding company that provides cash advances to plaintiffs for necessary living expenses during the pre-settlement or post-settlement phases of litigation. Lawsuit cash advances allow a case to proceed through the legal process without pressure to settle early. Although described by some as a lawsuit loan, pre-settlement funding is not a loan. You must repay a loan whether you win your case or not. On the other hand, lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance on the future value of your case meaning if you lose your case, you owe the funding company nothing, even the cash advance is yours to keep. This is a very important point: the litigation funding company takes all the risk. The plaintiff only repays the cash advance if, and when he/she successfully settles.

How do you know if lawsuit funding is the best option for pending auto accident or personal injury lawsuit? Here are a few questions to consider before pursuing lawsuit funding:

•Are you faced with dire financial circumstances, such as unable to pay the mortgage or put food on the table?
•Have you tried all other sources of cash and were unsuccessful?
•Without a lawsuit cash advance will you be forced to settle your suit for less than case value?

You no longer have to accept a low settlement offer. In the lawsuit process, many plaintiffs are forced to accept a low offer due to the financial hardship that many victims experience soon after their personal injury. A lawsuit cash advance will allow your attorney the time needed to get you full value for your case. Lawsuit Financial empowers plaintiffs to pursue their lawsuit for the settlement they deserve. We can prevent insurance companies from taking advantage of victims during financially difficult times. Before you settle for less than case value, contact Lawsuit Financial.

A $3,000 traffic signal cost the city of San Diego $1.8 million in a wrongful death lawsuit. The family of a motorcyclist filed a lawsuit against the city after the man was killed in April 2009. The motorcyclist was riding northbound Pacific Highway when a 17-year-old driver of a Toyota Corolla heading the opposite direction turned left on Cedar Street in front of him. The motorcyclist tried to veer out of the way but struck the rear passenger side of the Corolla. He died of traumatic head injuries.

The lawsuit stated that the city failed to make improvements to the dangerous intersection despite the fact that at least a dozen serious accidents have occurred from 2006 - 2009. The City Attorney admitted that the city had been slow in addressing complaints about the dangerous intersection because of budget constraints. Without a left-turn yield sign or turn signal, drivers get the impression that they can turn left once the signal turned green.
The plaintiff’s attorney proved the city was aware that the intersection was dangerous, and that they avoided efforts to make it safe including the installing a $3,000 traffic signal. Three months after this fatal motorcycle accident, the city installed a left- turn signal. Although the city doesn’t acknowledge any wrongdoing, the City Council unanimously approved the settlement.

This motorcycle accident is a perfect example why budgets should not be skimped on especially when safety is important. Accidents occur every year because of highway and road design failures; carelessness and negligence to upgrade and maintain road conditions. Safety doesn’t necessarily have to mean improving a poor design. As in this case, sometimes a road may become safer simply by adding a traffic signal. Now, the city of San Diego will have to pay $1.8 million because it was worried about $3,000 that could have saved a life.

Dangerous roadway lawsuit cases are difficult and expensive, even in cases when the roadway has been the site of previous accidents. The issue in these cases is whether the government failed to fulfill its obligations of making sure a dangerous road is somewhat forgiving of driver error. Successful cases like this one directly force changes in dangerous road conditions that can save lives.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or killed in a motorcycle accident due to the negligence of someone else, it is important that you seek legal advice from an auto accident attorney. Victims may also need to seek lawsuit funding to help with their medical expenses, funeral expenses, loss of income, and everyday bills. It is sometimes difficult to make ends meet when situations like this occur. All too often, plaintiffs will look to settle their case too soon and for too little because they are financially strapped. Lawsuit Financial can give plaintiffs the money they need immediately; this immediate lawsuit cash advance funding allows them to take care of their financial obligations while giving their attorney the time needed to seek appropriate justice.

Auto accidents can be devastating, and there will always be people willing to risk their lives and the lives of others by driving drunk. Often times, victims may be faced with loss of income, medical expenses, physical therapy, permanent disabilities, vehicle repair/replacement, and funeral expenses. Although victims may be able to file an auto accident lawsuit, it is not uncommon for plaintiffs to face financial hardships until a settlement is reached. Reaching a lawsuit settlement can be a lengthy process as the insurance company attempts delay, deny, and defend. As the case drags on, they hope victims will cut their losses and accept a low-ball offer. Any offer can be tempting if bills and expenses are mounting. Even if a victim wins their lawsuit, it may take a long time to actually receive the settlement money.

This is where lawsuit funding can help victims regain control of their lives and their finances. A lawsuit cash advance is risk-free; a non-recourse cash advance based on the successful outcome of a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit. Since lawsuit funding is based on the merit of the case, credit and employment are irrelevant. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments, and the cash advance is only repaid if, and when the case successfully settles.

If you have been in a drunk driving auto accident and experiencing financial hardship, contact Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice litigation company. Don't let the insurance company victimize you again by forcing you to accept a low offer. Lawsuit Financial is here to give you a “staying power” advantage, pursue your lawsuit with confidence, and fight for the compensation you deserve.

Do you know that 49 children died last year from heat stroke in cars? It happened three times in one day, the worst day. The facts in each case vary, somewhat; but, in each case, there is that terrible moment when a parent realizes what he/she has done, often through a phone call from a spouse or caregiver. The phone call is followed by a frantic sprint to the car. And 49 times, last year, a parent’s worst nightmare was realized.

Last year’s statistics are staggering; but here’s another sobering statistic: It is only June 9, and 8 more children have become victims in 2011. With many more hot summer days to come, a caring organization, KidsAndCards.org is warning parents and caregivers to take extra precautions so that they may avoid leaving children alone in vehicles and experiencing the ultimate tragedy. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that these types of incidents are the leading cause of non-crash vehicle deaths.

Janette Fennell is founder and president of KidsAndCars.org; this national nonprofit child safety organization’s sole mission is to prevent injuries and deaths of children in and around motor vehicles. Since 1998 when the organization began tracking data and working on the issue, more than 500 children have died in these preventable tragedies. That is an average of almost 40 preventable deaths per year.

So, why are these deaths happening with such frequency? Stories are similar; they usually involve a parent who has unintentionally left his/her child in the back seat. Busy parents may have been late for work, deviated from a normal routine, or be distracted by a cell phone or thoughts of future events of a soon-to-be-busy day. These distractions change lives forever. And, please, do not believe for an instant that this can’t happen to you or a child in your care. Even the most educated, conscientious, and loving parents can forget a sleeping baby in the back seat.

You may be asking yourself – how can a parent fail to remember their own child? A combination of sleep deprivation, stress, and change of routine are often contributing factors in memory failure that has, in past cases, led to child vehicular heat stroke. When things run smoothly, a person can multi-task fairly well; add one of these factors or distractions and that ability is diminished. Think about it. How many of you throw in a load of laundry, then forget about the load because the phone rang, or the kids are fighting or need lunch? Have you ever put something on the stove and forgot about it? Remember the old Steve Martin routine? There is an exhausting list of “I forgot’s”.

To prevent child vehicular heat stroke death:
•Never leave a child unattended inside a motor vehicle – even if the air-conditioning is on or a window is cracked.
•Never let children play in or around a parked car.
•Always keep the vehicle locked, even in your garage.
•Make it routine to put your handbag, wallet, cell phone or laptop on the floor of the backseat.
•Make it a habit to open the back door and look in the backseat of your vehicle before locking the doors and walking away.
•Ask your babysitter or child-care provider to call you within 10 minutes if your child hasn’t arrived on time.
•Avoid distractions while you are driving. Putting the cell phone in the back seat not only reduces the risks of a serious or deadly accident caused by inattentive driving; it also helps prevent leaving your child in the vehicle unattended.

Lawsuit Financial supports any effort to prevent senseless injuries or deaths to children. Most trial lawyers are pleased to become involved in safety efforts that help prevent such tragedies, rather than becoming involved, afterwards, to pursue justice for someone who has experienced it. Trial lawyer involvement in KidsAndCars.org is one good example. The Keenan Kids Foundation, the brain child of Atlanta Georgia trial lawyer Don Keenan, is another. This foundation provides training and financial resources to prevent playground injuries. To receive additional information or to lend your support to either or both of these wonderful organizations, please visit their websites at KidsAndCars.org or Keenan Kids Foundation.

Lawsuit funding, a lawsuit cash advance on your expected settlement is a valuable, yet often misunderstood service for plaintiffs. Litigation funding was created to help financially strapped plaintiffs during a pending lawsuit. Most plaintiffs waiting for their cases to resolve endure a long, sometimes drawn out, litigation process. The waiting period can last months, even years.

One of the most frequent reasons plaintiffs settle their cases too soon, and for less than they are worth is because they lack money for living expenses. Many are disabled; insurance companies know this and take advantage of their circumstances by delaying, denying, and defending, thus forcing plaintiffs to accept low settlements due to financial hardships. An emergency cash advance in the form of legal finance, can take the pressure off giving plaintiffs and their attorneys time to hold out for larger settlements or verdicts.

Many plaintiffs who are involved in lawsuits don’t realize legal funding is available. Litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance on the future value of cases. In other words, unlike traditional bank loans, with pre-settlement funding you owe nothing if you lose your case; not even the money that was advanced. Additionally, there are no fees to apply and no monthly payments to make. The only time you pay is if, and when, you win your case.

Knowledge and understanding of the legal process is important in the lawsuit funding industry. Mark Bello, CEO/Director of Lawsuit Financial, has the most combined legal and lawsuit financing experience -13 years in litigation funding and almost 35 years as a trial lawyer. He is considered an expert in the lawsuit funding industry.

The approval process is simple and fast; it can be completed in less than two days. It is based solely on the merits of your pending case. First, you must be represented by an attorney. If you have not retained an attorney, Lawsuit Financial can assist in finding the best attorney available in all 50 states. After receiving your application, your case is reviewed by our funding specialists. If approved, cash will be wired to your account or sent via overnight mail.

With bills paid and the pressure to settle too early gone, lawsuit funding has leveled the playing field with the insurance company. Contact Lawsuit Financial for a lawsuit cash advance so you can have peace of mind and wait for what your case is really worth.

Cabell Huntington Hospital in West Virginia is now among the list of hospitals accused of radiation overdoses in bran scan patients. Cabell has admitted to over radiating patients between October 9, 2009 to November 23, 2010. The hospital is now facing numerous lawsuits with approximately 100 patients affected by the over-radiation.

According to records, Cabell patients were overdosed with radiation up to two weeks after the FDA publicly issued a report on several hundred cases at other hospitals and sent warning notices to all the hospitals with CT scanners. It is alleged that Cabell was fully aware of over-radiation in some of their patients for three months, but failed to disclose the information.

Amusement parks are traditionally associated with summertime fun for children, adults, and families. The season typically kicks off with Memorial Day weekend. Amusement parks attract millions of people ever year, and although most will spend the day without incident, accidents do occur -- whether due to mechanical failure, consumer behavior or unforeseen health issue, or operator behavior such as in the case at a Colorado amusement park on August 11, 2010. Fifteen people were injured when a train ride derailed. The operator of the ride at Tiny Town Park was found to have been driving the train as much as five times the normal speed limit when it went off the tracks. This is a perfect illustration of how good times can go wrong at amusement parks.

No matter how an amusement park accident occurs, if you or a loved one were injured at an amusement park, carnival ride, or water park, you may be entitled to compensation for current and future expenses, and punitive damages. Three types of law may apply – negligence, premises liability, and product liability law. An experienced attorney can evaluate whether the injury occurred due to a product malfunction – design and/or maintenance negligence or a premises liability – the safety of the property.

These types of personal injury or wrongful death cases can take months or even years before a settlement is reached. Fortunately, for those people that have financial responsibilities and in some cases loss of income due to the accident, lawsuit funding is an option.

Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice litigation funding company can provide a non-recourse lawsuit cash advance for amusement park accidents. We provide pre-settlement and post-settlement funding so regardless of where you are in the legal process, we can help. Once you apply online or via phone, we immediately evaluate your case.

If you have questions regarding pre-settlement funding for your amusement park accident, contact Lawsuit Financial for a no-obligation consultation.

Girls had their prom dresses and the guys ordered tuxes. The school held an assembly for the seniors. They expected it to be just another one of those “don’t be a distracted driver” speeches. It was led by a teacher and mother of a former student, a student who never attended prom or graduation. Why, you ask? Because Shawna was killed one month before her own prom, as a result of distracted driving.

Shawna's mom displays her prom dress as she speaks to the assembled students. She wants students to stop and think about Shawna; she doesn’t want a single student or student’s family to feel the sadness she and her family feel every day. Distracted driving has become an epidemic. In Shawna's case, it was her own distraction. She was drinking coffee and texting while behind the wheel. Shawna lost control of her vehicle, it overturned, and she was thrown from the car. Fortunately, no one else was in the car with Shawna and no other vehicles were involved.

Shawna's mom says she speaks out as a parent, not as a teacher. She does not try to lecture; she does not tell the students what to do; she, simply and tenderly, shares a personal story of what can happen when you drive while distracted.

As the students left the assembly, conversations were robust. This presentation was powerful, it made an impact. For one girl, it rang to close to home. She recalls her own auto accident last year when she was using her iPod while driving. Fortunately, she was not injured and no other vehicle was involved. The teen says that the presentation helped her realize how her risky driving behavior could have affected herself and her family. She vows to change her driving habits and not ride with friends who are not attentive drivers.

Shawna’s fatal auto accident was five years ago, but the memories will never fade. Her mother says, “I couldn't save my own child, but if I can save someone else's by talking about Shawna, then it's all worth it."

Lawsuit Financial, the pro-justice lawsuit funding company, strongly supports restrictions on driver distractions of any kind. We actively promote driver safety and publicly address the many driving distractions that exist in our daily lives. As an expert in auto accident lawsuit funding, we see the devastating effects that driver distractions can cause. Please do not put yourself and others at risk. Save these tasks for another time. Multi-tasking is not meant for our roads. The more we educate the better chance we all have to improving our roadways.

For one family a simple medication error led to permanent injuries. Fifteen days after a child was born prematurely, she was given a heavy dose of nutrients; one hundred times the dosage prescribed by the doctor. The medical error led to cardiac arrest and severe complications. Now a little girl struggles every day. She is blind and has cerebral palsy. Now almost four-years-old, the child remains in a wheelchair, and can not feed herself or even go to the bathroom on her own. The same will be true in 20 years. This child will not have the same opportunities as other children; her parents will not witness all the milestones most parents experience. Full-time care will be required for the rest of her life – all because of a medical error.

Her family filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Lee Memorial Health System (LMHS), which maintained that the child's medical problems were the result of her premature birth, despite acknowledging that it made a serious error in dispersing the nutrients. Although the family was awarded $19.2 million, under sovereign immunity the liability cap could limit the award to 10% or $200,000. That's $200,000 for past and future expenses – medical expenses and around-the-clock care for the rest of her life. Does that seem fair?

The hospital has never paid a claims bill through the court; the family hopes after an appeal this will be the first. To overcome Lee Memorial’s sovereign immunity protection, a specific bill would have to be passed by the Florida legislature, which could only happen after all appeals had been exhausted, and this could take years.

How has this family been able to pay medical expenses and ongoing care of their child? Lawsuit funding is available to parents of a disabled victim against litigation proceeds that are earmarked for the care and treatment of the victim. It is extremely expensive to care for someone in this situation and to have to do it without financial assistance is almost impossible. Lawsuit Financial offers legal financial assistance to families struggling financially during a medical malpractice lawsuit. Lawsuit funding is a means to assist with your financial burdens while your lawyer seeks appropriate justice.

Robert was waiting at a red traffic light. Moments later, the driver of a Ford F150 slammed into the back end of his Honda Accord pushing Robert through the intersection and into an oncoming vehicle. An investigation proved that the driver of the pick-up was answering a text when the accident occurred.

Robert suffered a neck and leg injuries, and a herniated disc in his lower back. He underwent surgery followed by months of physical therapy. To receive compensation for medical expenses and lost wages, Robert filed a lawsuit. His attorney told him that it could be months for the case to settle. The insurance company made Robert a low-ball offer. Robert didn't want to accept the offer, but he was facing mounting medical expenses and other bills. His attorney told him about lawsuit funding.

After researching several lawsuit funding companies, Robert signed a contract with Lawsuit Financial. Lawsuit Financial, a leader in the litigation funding industry. Robert felt comfortable with their rates and terms – no application fees, no monthly payments, and best of all, if he lost his case he owed them nothing.

One day after Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina signed a bill to create a child ATV safety law, a 16-year old girl was killed in an ATV accident. The teen was riding alone in a field behind her home when she lost control causing the ATV to roll over. She was thrown from the vehicle which then landed on top of her. The girl died from blunt force trauma to the head and chest. Her brother was riding in a separate ATV at the time of the accident. Neither teen was wearing a helmet or any safety equipment at the time of the accident.

There are thousands of ATV accidents each year resulting in serious injuries or death. Many of these are among teenagers. The Chandler Law, which goes into effect on July 1, 2011, is named after 16-year-old Chandler Saylor who died eight years ago in an ATV accident. Chandler had attended a swimming birthday party, but at some point the boys at the party were allowed to ride ATVs. Chandler had never driven an ATV before, and when he tried to avoid hitting another boy, Chandler lost control causing the ATV to roll over.

Operating and riding an ATV is dangerous and risky. Wearing a helmet while operating an ATV reduces the risk of fatal head injury by 42 percent, and the risk of non-fatal head injury by 64 percent. The Chandler Law will require helmets, eye protection and training for ATV riders younger than 16. Even if this law had been in effect prior to these fatal accidents, it would not have applied to these two teenagers since they were 16-years-old at the time of the accidents.

Although ATV accidents generally result in negligence or careless of the operator, they can also be caused by a poor design or inadequate warnings on the vehicle. When negligent supervision, defective design or another rider's recklessness causes severe injury or death, a family may seek justice through a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

If you or a loved one has been involved in an ATV accident as a result of another driver, defective product, or inadequate warnings on the vehicle you may able to seek fair compensation for your injuries. Going through a lawsuit can takes a long time. While your attorney is working to obtain full case value, you may be faced with substantial medical bills due to injuries or funeral expenses as a result of a loved ones death. As the leader in litigation funding, Lawsuit Financial provides pre-settlement funding to plaintiffs struggling financially while waiting for their case to settle.

Often times, when a plaintiff files a lawsuit he/she has suffered serious injuries or has lost a loved one. Such lawsuits can be the result of medical malpractice, an auto accident, defective product, or work-related injuries. Medical treatment may include surgery, medication, physical therapy, and the bills can reach thousands of dollars. These health care providers expect payment regardless of your financial situation.

Plaintiffs will want to instruct their attorney to settle for whatever amount they can, and as soon as they can. They see a quick settlement as the only light at the end of the tunnel. That is usually because they are in financial distress, cannot get a bank loan, and have nowhere else to turn. They have never heard of lawsuit funding.

When we place a loved one in a nursing home or assisted living facility, we expect them to be cared for and protected. Alzheimer’s and dementia patients require extra care because they tend to wander, become disoriented, and lost. When we hear stories like the recent one at the Springfield Skilled Care Center, it makes us all wonder about the safety are aging loved ones.

It appears that an 81-year-old resident was trying to crawl through a window when she fell and suffered a fractured neck causing her death. A preliminary investigation revealed that part of the window screen and edging around the screen had been pushed out. The window was approximately four feet above the ground.

Nursing homes are required to train staff members, determine which residents have a high risk for wandering, and should install door alarms as well as cameras in order to monitor residents. Did this nursing home assess her risk of wandering and have a plan of care? A state document outlined safety code violations in the special care unit where she lived. The report identified fire doors that wouldn't open properly when fire alarms were tested. There was no mention of any issue with windows, and personnel refused to say whether the windows had locks or alarms.

This case highlights the importance of doing your due diligence when researching nursing homes and assisted living facilities. After you choose a facility, visit often, especially at shift changes. Make unannounced visits. Are there enough staff members and do they interact with the patients. Are there alarms on the doors and windows to alert staff members if a patient tries to leave?

When nursing homes fail to have proper procedures in place or fail to adhere to procedure they may be liable for the injuries or wrongful deaths. Obviously, no amount of money can compensate a family for the loss of a loved one, but if you believe that your loved one was the victim of nursing home neglect or abuse, you may be entitled to compensation. Due to the complexity of these types of cases, plaintiffs may face serious financial hardship as the bills keep coming. Often times, they do not have the financial resources to wait for their case to settle.

Lawsuit Financial offers a pre-settlement cash advance so plaintiffs have the staying power to await fair compensation for their loss rather than accepting a speedy, low-cost settlement. A lawsuit cash advance is a strategic tool to help your attorney maximum case value. Contact Lawsuit Financial to learn more about how lawsuit funding can help your case.

The iPad 2 features a new, thinner design that reduces the weight. The addition of a dual-core processor is another new feature in the iPad 2 that promises to be twice as fast. Important documents can be stored on the iPad, such as the rules of procedure and rules of evidence manuals and reference books. The iPad 2 is also a great tool for reading files; apps allow you to make notations, sign documents, and present them to your clients for their signature – all right on the iPad. You can also connect the device to a projector and show exhibits to the judge or jury in court.

The addition of a HDMI adaptor means easily interfacing the iPad 2 with a HDMI display. Conference calls can be turned into face-to-face video conferences with the iPad 2’s camera. For many lawyers, this can be a better way to discuss a case with an expert witness. A second camera allows you to take still photos shoot 720p high-definition video. Since HDMI monitors are used more frequently in conferences, this means it will become much easier to share multi-media presentations using one simple cable to connect the iPad to the display. The iPad 2 can also be charged while presenting, so there’s no fear of your losing battery.

Even with the one possible drawback that some courts may not admit recording devices into session, the iPad 2’s additional features certainly make it a worthwhile upgrade for any lawyer.

Do you know where your vehicle owner's manual is? Did you read it thoroughly after purchasing the car or were you like most of us who felt there wasn't a need? Admit it – you have never read it have you? Let's face it, we all know how to drive a car and they are all the same, right? Wrong! Quite often when consumers buy a new vehicle, they merely glance at the owner's manual or never touch it.

With the arsenal of auto safety technology, it is more important now than ever to understand all the features of your vehicle. If you don’t know where the wipers, blinkers, emergency flashers, door locks, etc., are they really helping to keep you safe? What about new features you have never had in a car before? Do you know how to operate them? Every vehicle is different, even if the manufacturer may not be.

Here is an example of what I am talking about. An employee just replaced her year old Ford Focus sedan with a Focus hatchback. Now you would think that Ford would place at least the basic features in the same location on the same model vehicle, right? Well, on the first day driving her new vehicle, it rained. She went to turn on the windshield wipers, but turned on the blinkers instead. The windshield wiper stalk is on the right side in this car. The door locks in this car are not on the driver door, but on the center dash. When the driver gets opens the door, all doors unlock, but if a passenger gets out, they do not. The dashboard has a large display with the time, mileage, and average miles per gallon, but the gas gauge is half the size of the previous Ford Focus and difficult to see through the steering wheel. Today, she almost ran out of gas because this important gauge is almost hidden. Then there are all the warnings going off – almost out of gas in today’s situation.

The combination of visual and audible warnings might be confusing to drivers, especially teens and the elderly. With all the high-tech, some assume their car will automatically adjust for their errors – the car will automatically adjust its speed or brake to avoid a collision.

This makes me wonder how many accidents are caused from a driver’s negligence in knowing his/her vehicle before that first drive. Take the time to read the owner’s manual. Familiarize yourself with the recommended maintenance schedules and know the recommended tire pressure and read how all the controls work. Remember, there might be new buttons and gadgets your old vehicle did not have. After reading the manual, sit in the car and locate all the features. Little differences like the location of the windshield wipers can be a big difference if it suddenly starts raining. Driving is not the time to start looking around the car. They may seem like little annoyances now, but knowing your vehicle before you drive can maximize your protection, and others.

Sometimes, however, accidents happen, even to the most careful drivers. If you or a loved one is seriously injured in an automobile accident that was of no fault of your own, you may be able to recover damages for medical bills, loss wages, and pain and suffering. It is important to contact a personal injury attorney who specializes in handling similar cases. These cases can take months even years to settle, but it is important not to settle too soon. Sometimes injuries will last months, years, or a life time.

If you are worried about paying bills and other financial obligations, Lawsuit Financial has a solution. As one of the country's most experienced legal funding companies, we provide lawsuit funding so you don’t have to settle too early, for too little. Lawsuit Financial will evaluate your case, and if approved, can usually provide the funding you need within 24 – 48 hours. Best of all, there are no fees unless you win your case.

A wrongful death results from the negligence or other unjust action on the part of another person, company, or entity. It is not only heartbreaking, but there will never be that chance to say goodbye. We know it is difficult to face reality head on and to file a wrongful death lawsuit; no compensation will replace the loss of a loved one. However, it can help replace the loss of income earned, pay medical bills, funeral costs, and just maybe, some emotional anguish.
There is a famous quote by Plato – Good people do not need laws to tell them to act with responsibility, while bad people will find a way around the laws.

One thing you will learn early on is that the big businesses and insurance companies care only about themselves. They have the deep pockets and will do everything in their power to deny, delay, and defend. They have the staying power to force an early settlement so they will drag out the process as long as possible. The plaintiff may feel pressure to accept a low-ball offer as substantial and unexpected financial problems take their toll. But, the plaintiff's attorney needs more time and is advising against an early settlement. Without some financial reprieve, the plaintiff is between a rock and a hard place.

The lawsuit funding expert knows justice will not be served if a plaintiff's financial situation prevented them from pursuing full compensation for the loss of their loved one. A lawsuit cash advance can help the plaintiff pay monthly bills, medical expenses, mortgage, rent, car and funeral expenses. With lawsuit funding, there are no monthly fees, no credit checks, not employment history verification. Best of all, it is a non-recourse cash advance, meaning that if you lose your case, you owe nothing; keep the advance free, with no obligation to the funding company.

If you have filed a wrongful death lawsuit and are considering accepting a low-ball settlement from a greedy insurance company, you may benefit from lawsuit funding. Don't settle for less; contact the lawsuit funding expert!

All too often someone can destroy the lives of others when he/she chooses to get behind the wheel while intoxicated. On May 1, the irresponsible actions of one man claimed the life of a young woman.

The impaired driver of a 2008 Dodge pick-up truck rear-ended the woman's 2008 Nissan. The driver of the Nissan was pinned in her vehicle; the fire department had to use the Jaws-of-Life to rescue her. Unfortunately, she died shortly after reaching the hospital.

The family of this young woman will likely may want to pursue a wrongful death claim in hopes of receiving compensation for funeral costs, medical expenses, emotional damages and other related losses. Due to the nature of a drunk driver accident, it is important that they contact an attorney to help preserve their legal rights and help them recover full compensation. While discussing the case with an attorney, they might also want to ask about lawsuit funding.

When they apply for a lawsuit cash advance, they only need to provide case details to the litigation funding company. Once approved, they receive their pre-settlement funding within 24-48 hours. They won’t have to pay upfront fees or make monthly payments, and once the lawsuit cash advance arrives, they may use it to pay for medical bills, funeral expenses, tuition, or other outstanding bills. The best thing about lawsuit financing is that it removes the financial desperation to accept any nonsense offers from the greedy insurance company, which deliberately drags the proceeding down to cause financial pain. Lawsuit funding is a strategic tool used by many plaintiffs who have lost a loved one due to an auto accident and need financial assistance while waiting fair compensation and justice.

A worker sustained a jaw fracture and spinal injuries when he was catapulted from a forklift. According to a personal injury lawsuit, the man was ordered to ride on the back of the forklift to counterbalance the heavy load.

The man was part of a crew building a pole barn at the time of the accident. He said that the supervisor on the job instructed him to sit on the back of the Bobcat which was loaded with 2,780 pounds of steel. After the steel was elevated, the load slammed to the ground which launched the man in the air and over the top of the Bobcat. He landed face-first onto the pile of steel. The worker lost most of his teeth, and suffered multiple herniated discs in his spine, multiple rib fractures, a collapsed lung, and a traumatic brain injury. He underwent seven surgeries.

After a nine day trial, a settlement of $1 million was reached, the full value of the defendants' insurance policy. The plaintiff declined to pursue compensation for economic damages resulting from his permanent injuries.

Lawsuit Financial understands that suffering from a personal injury is a devastating experience. Cases like this can be lengthy and complicated; this worker was injury in 2004 and the case just recently settled. Over the years, he may have struggled financially due to medical expenses and lost wages. Lawsuit funding may have been an option. A lawsuit cash advance is available to pay medical expenses, rent, mortgage, car payment, and any other important bill or expense, while waiting for your case to settle. Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance against your lawsuit; it is contingent upon the outcome of your case. If you lose, you do not repay your lawsuit cash advance.

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.

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.
If you were injured or lost a loved one in an auto accident due to the negligence of another driver, you may be able to seek compensation for your injuries or loss. After an auto accident, you may also be faced with physical, emotional, and financial hardship. Medical bills and other expenses may be piling up. You may be unable to work due to injuries sustained. What can you do to make ends meet?

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.

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.

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.

The grief that follows the loss of a loved one can be overwhelming.

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. While coping with her grief, she may be burdened by the expenses associated with his death and the daily bills resulting from the lack of his income. There is immediate financial assistance available to families that find themselves in this type of situation.

Approvals take 24 - 48 hours.

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. Lawsuit funding tries to facilitate a level playing field; it tries to prevent injured people from being forced, by financial distress to settle valuable cases too early for too little. The application process is quick and easy. If approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. The other benefits of pre-settlement funding are no upfront fees, monthly payments, or hidden costs.

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. Litigation funding is intended to help those in dire financial straits, those facing enormous bills as a result of serious injuries or loss of a loved one. Legal finance services help them handle their living expenses and medical bills until their case is resolved and prevents them from being forced to settle too soon for too little. Pre-settlement funding can be used in your favor so you can wait out the time for fair and just compensation.

Contact Lawsuit Financial; we may be able to provide the help you need.

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.

Determining liability and obtaining case resolution are often long and complicated processes. The daily necessities of life continue; bills must be paid. You want to fight for your rights, but struggle to meet your daily financial obligations. Lawsuit funding may be the answer needed to fulfill those financial obligations while your case is pending in litigation.

Pre-settlement funding is a smart move for most plaintiffs because it lets them wait out the long, legal process for settlement or verdict justice, without the need to settle too soon for too little because the insurance company has all the time, leverage, and money. There is no cost to apply for lawsuit financing, no monthly payments to make, no upfront fees of any kind, and the whole thing is excused if you lose your case. This is, truly, no-risk legal funding. Once you are approved, your lawsuit cash advance arrives, by check or wire, within 24-48 hours. Don't let the insurance company take advantage of you; don't settle your valuable case for pennies on the dollar. Call the lawsuit funding expert instead.

A patient was admitted to the hospital for heart surgery, but learned in recovery that doctors also removed her esophagus. A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), a diagnostic procedure that uses echocardiography to assess the heart’s function was performed. This procedure consists of inserting a probe into the esophagus to provide a clearer image of the heart during surgery. During surgery, the probe punctured her esophagus leaving doctors no choice but to remove it. The woman filed a medical malpractice lawsuit.

This medical malpractice lawsuit will most likely be a long legal process. The burden of proof is on the patient to show that negligence occurred. Moving forward with this case will be an emotionally and financially draining process. It will be important for this patient to work closely with her attorney to ensure her rights are protected and justice is served. It won’t be a simple process as the defendant will most likely argue that the injury was an acceptable risk of surgery, was unpreventable, and not the fault of the surgeon.

While every patient assumes there is some risk associated with surgery, surgical errors often do not fall within these assumptions. When a surgical error that could have been prevented results in serious injuries, the patient and their family should not be responsible for the damages suffered. The patient should not be left to pay the consequences for the negligence of the doctor. She is no only healing from the heart surgery, but she has also spent months adjusting to a special diet and suffered in pain when swallowing. This surgical mistake has also prevented her from a timely healing both physical and emotional.

As this woman proceeds through this difficult time, she may find herself under financial duress. The bills may begin to pile up – medical expenses, mortgage, utilities, and more. 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. 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.

Two people were killed and one seriously injured when their vehicle collided with a tractor-trailer. The accident occurred during nightfall. The estate of the victims alleged that the driver of the tractor-trailer was traveling without his lights on. By the time the victims saw the trailer, it was too late. The defense denied liability, but witnesses and a thorough investigation proved otherwise.

When your loved one is killed by the negligence of a tractor-trailer, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against all parties legally responsible for the accident. This can include the truck driver, the driver’s employer, and the owner of the truck and trailer, and others.

After a devastating accident like this, most families don’t think about money. Over time, hospital bills start piling up, funeral expenses are coming in, and the paychecks may cease. This is not fault of the loved one's family, but an unfortunate situation encountered and must handle.

Stress can be greatly minimized by having the proper funding to pay all those overdue bills. Lawsuit Funding is an easy way to alleviate this stress both financially and emotionally after the wrongful loss of a loved one. By calling a legal funding expert, an individual can apply for a pre-settlement cash advance; a quick and easy process. Approval can be obtained with 24 – 48 hours, and receiving the cash in your bank account can be just as quick. What are the risks of applying for a lawsuit cash advance? None. We will analyze your case, speak with your attorney, and determine how much your settlement will deliver. You do not pay back the cash advance until you win your case. If you lose, you pay us nothing. Other benefits of lawsuit funding include no upfront fees, no monthly payments, no credit checks are performed, and employment is not required. All that is needed is a winnable case. Don’t allow the insurance companies force you into a low-ball offer when there is an option to help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Every year 35,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer and 7600 die from it; more than cervical cancer, malignant melanoma or Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Oral cancer is partially contributed to the fact that it is painless and often asymptomatic in its early stages. The result is usually the failure to diagnose.

A patient was having dental treatment including the pulling of teeth and a root canal. Weeks later, it was discovered that the patient had oral cancer. He filed a personal injury lawsuit alleging that his dentist overlooked cancerous lesions. The cancer was later eradicated, but not before the patient incurred significant medical expenses and went through extensive pain and suffering. The patient endured numerous, and painful surgeries to correct the errors the dentist made originally. When this case went to trial, the dentist alleged that the cancer was not visible during treatment for the root canal. The jury disagreed and awarded the patient $500,000.

Dental malpractice claims alleging failure to diagnose oral cancer are the second most common type of claim. If you have suffered an injury as a result of care from your dentist or other dental care professional, you may be entitled to pursue a dental malpractice or dental negligence lawsuit claim. You could be entitled to compensatory damages to correct your problem, as well as lost wages and damages for pain and suffering. Consulting an attorney who specializes in medical and dental malpractice claims will help you determine if your case is valid.

It is not known that he availed himself of lawsuit funding services, but a person in his circumstance could have, absolutely, taken advantage of this valuable legal finance service that offers victims of negligence a portion of their potential settlement, before they actually resolve the case; that is correct, victims who take advantage of litigation funding services receive cash upfront, before their cases are settled! When approved for legal funding, the money you need now is forwarded by check or wire, within 24-48 hours, based on the expected settlement amount of his case, and he would have been able to pay his medical expenses and monthly bills.

There is no fee to apply for a lawsuit funding; no credit checks are done and applicants do not need to have had a job. When someone applies for pre-settlement funding, they are not required to pay any fees upfront nor are they expected to make monthly payments. When the cash advance is approved, the money is sent. It’s just that easy. This is a vitally important service, one that all personal injury plaintiffs should consider before settling their valuable cases. If you need cash now, call a litigation funding company and wait for the settlement you deserve.

Two people were killed and a child injured in a head-on collision when the driver of a Mercedes slammed into a Jeep. The driver of the Mercedes veered off the road, corrected its trajectory, and hit the Jeep. Both drivers and the child were rushed to the hospital. The driver of the Mercedes was seriously injured; the driver and a passenger of the Jeep did not survive. The 3-year-old was listed in good condition; she had been secured in a child safety seat.

Police are not certain what caused the driver of the Mercedes to initially swerve off the road. It could have been the result of a distraction. Initial investigations showed no signs of drug or alcohol abuse. Most likely, the families of the victims will file a wrongful death lawsuit. Losing a loved one is enormously expensive and compensation is necessary and appropriate.

Insurance companies, even in tragic situations such as this, are often willing to play waiting games with people's lives. They may attempt to delay the proceedings for as long as possible. They may attempt to make the plaintiff desperate to settle, just to pay medical bills and funeral expenses. If after consulting an attorney, the victims decide to pursue a lawsuit, they might also wish to consider a lawsuit cash advance to help pay the mounting bills until a lawsuit settlement is reached.

Pre-settlement funding is an advance against a settlement that, hopefully, permits victims wait out the long, legal process and achieve appropriate justice. It costs nothing to apply and if approved, funding can be available within 24 – 48 hours. You don't need to have a job and there is not credit checks to apply for litigation funding. Best of all, lawsuit funding is risk-free; if you lose your case you keep the advance and owe us nothing. Lawsuit funding can be a smart strategic move to give you and your attorney time needed to obtain maximum results. A quick phone call or online visit to the legal finance website will get you started.

The use of TASERs by police officers has become a source of controversy in the wake of hundreds of deaths. Is has been argued that TASERs can cause cardiac arrhythmia, leading to heart attack or death. Others argue that it is not the TASERs itself that caused the death, but a medical condition or the use of illegal drugs in which the TASER heighten the risk factors. This suggests that TASERs would be dangerous to use on people with certain medical conditions, but since police officers most often do not know a person's medical history or possible drug use, the risk of death would be with any suspect.

Would repeated shock be a risk factor? The parents of a young man who died as a result of being shocked twenty-five times believe so. They filed a wrongful death lawsuit and won. At trial, the police indicated that they were not aware of the potential for death, as a result of repeated shocks. In another case, a victim’s family won their wrongful death lawsuit when they alleged the police force was excessive.

According to the medical experts, when a person is Tasered near the chest, this causes a dramatic increase in the subject's heartbeat -- from a resting 72 beats a minute to as many as 220 beats a minute for a short period of time. Taser International has issued warnings and new targeting guidelines to law enforcement agencies. They recommend that officers avoid the chest center of mass to avoid controversy whether the actual shock causes heart attacks or cardiac arrest.

These cases have taken years to resolve. In that time, the victim’s families may be struggling to meet financial obligations due to the loss of income and other expenses as a result of these deaths. Lawsuit Financial may have assisted in these cases. While waiting for the case to travel through the legal system toward resolution, pre-settlement funding may have helped with 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 or death caused by no fault of their own. Legal funding is money given ahead of any settlement or court verdict and it allows the victim to decline offers that fall far short of what their case is worth. So why settle for too little? That is what the insurance company hoping - that a financially destitute victim will be desperate to settle. With Lawsuit Financial, there are no upfront fees, no monthly payments. And, the best part is that you do not pay us back unless you win your case. With lawsuit funding, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. It is easy to apply for pre-settlement funding by phone or online. There are no hidden fees or charges and once approved, the plaintiff receives their fast cash advance within 24-48 hours by check or wire.
