Driver is first to be convicted of “homicide by texting while driving.”
An 18-year-old man was texting while driving when his car drifted over the center line and crashed into another vehicle, causing serious injury to the driver of the second vehicle. He later died from his injuries.
The driver was convicted of a new offense – homicide by texting while driving – the first individual in Massachusetts to be cited for this. He entered a not guilty plea but was subsequently convicted. He faces jail time of up to four years.
The victim’s family sought the advice of a personal injury attorney to find out what they could possibly do to stop this crime from happening to others. From the accident to the victim’s hospital stay and treatment to the impending court case, the family faced mounting legal and medical bills. They decided to approach a litigation funding company and apply for a lawsuit cash advance.
Pre-settlement funding is, as implied, cash given in advance to qualified plaintiffs while they wait for their case to reach a conclusion. Applying for a lawsuit loan is as easy as two clicks or picking up the phone.
A lawsuit cash advance may be spent on anything, but it is usually used to pay medical bills and other pressing monthly financial obligations. There are numerous benefits to applying for pre-settlement funding, so it is definitely worth a phone call to see if it would work for you if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.
