According to the information filed in this court case, the defendants allegedly failed to provide prudent and proper medical care to the pregnant plaintiff and in failing to do so caused permanent and catastrophic injuries to her baby. The baby, now four years old, is disabled for the rest of his life and will never live independently, requires around-the-clock skilled care, cannot go to school and will not be able to hold a job.

Information submitted in the lawsuit indicated the pregnant mother was having a difficult time with nausea, headaches, dizziness, backaches and possible decreased fetal movement. She was experiencing these multiple symptoms three weeks in advance of her due date and went to her local medical center to be evaluated. She was not assessed, did not receive an ultrasound or have a biophysical profile completed. Instead, she was sent home.

The mother went back to the medical center the next morning where another obstetrician scheduled a C-section for her for the following day. When the baby was delivered he displayed seizures, apnea, poor color and tone. He was transferred to an intensive care unit and stayed there for 12 days. While in the neonatal intensive care unit, it is alleged, staff did not monitor his ventilator settings, which resulted in low CO2 blood levels.

When a loved one sustains serious injuries due to medical negligence, the family may wish to file a medical negligence lawsuit. However, while waiting for the case to move forward, they cannot wait to deal with financial necessities. Litigation funding may be the perfect solution. If the family hires an attorney and files a claim, they are eligible for pre-settlement funding.

A lawsuit loan is a fast cash advance against a pending lawsuit that acts to supplement a plaintiff’s loss of income. The cash advance helps victims cope financially while they wait for fair compensation. Without the pressing necessity of trying to find funds to pay for bills, the plaintiff may wait to have their case resolved and they do not need to settle for less than the potential full value of their case.

A medical malpractice lawsuit was filed by patient, at a Charleston medical center, Jane Smith (not her real name). The woman who was heavily sedated, woke up in her room, attempted to use the restroom and fell. The fall resulted in disabling and severe injuries that subsequently required two expensive surgeries.

The plaintiff alleged that the medical staff negligently removed additional barriers placed on her bed by her daughter, disconnected the safety alarm and lowered the bed rails. Since the patient was still under sedation the absence of such safety precautions were alleged to be a causative factor in the fall.

According to the statement of claim, the patient was billed for an additional $66,294 for the surgeries required as a result of her fall. The lawsuit alleges that in addition to the medical staff failing to render services and proper care in a safe and prudent manner, the patient also suffered from mental anguish and additional pain.

Filing a personal injury medical malpractice lawsuit may be the means to improve quality of care and safety. However, such lawsuits typically take months to years before a settlement is reached. This is a serious disadvantage for individuals living on a fixed income who do not have extra resources to ensure their case keeps moving forward. Litigation funding may be the perfect solution in a case such as this.

With a lawsuit cash advance, also referred to as litigation funding or pre-settlement funding, plaintiffs can meet their financial obligations and other everyday living expenses. Pre-settlement funding approvals do not require the applicant (plaintiff) to have good credit, make monthly payments or to have a job. Payments are not made until the lawsuit is settled successfully or a jury verdict for the plaintiff is handed down.

Lawsuit loans are considered to be a non-recourse cash advance, which means if the plaintiff loses their case, repayment is waived. With such a significant advantage in favor of the plaintiff, there is no need to settle.

The ordeal began in 2009 when Cruz was delivering her daughter. According to court documents, the doctor continued to encourage her to push even after the baby’s head was already delivered. The physician also performed an episiotomy that was allegedly not required — a cut that was not properly closed or stitched. Although Cruz was suffering from unexplained, unusual discharges, she was not aware she still had a gaping wound a year later when she discovered she was pregnant again. Delivering her second child exacerbating her condition.
Despite having over a dozen surgeries trying to correct the tear, Cruz says she no longer has control over her waste elimination, is unable to work and cannot have intimate relations with her husband due to the pain. She must to wear underwear liners 24/7 and can never be far from a bathroom. Cruz’s romantic relationship with her husband has also been impacted.

After a month-long trial Cruz was awarded $40 million for future pain and suffering and $10 million for past suffering. Her obstetrician was found 90 percent negligent for severely lacerating her internally during the birth; the midwife was found 10% liable.

The Cruz family may have faced staggering medical bills for the birth and subsequent surgeries, bills that would be difficult to pay when one parent can no longer work. One solution that may have helped them would have been litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding.

A “lawsuit loan” is emergency cash sent directly to the plaintiff’s bank account, usually within 48 hours with your attorney’s cooperation, for use in paying pressing medical bills and those other monthly financial obligations. There are no fees to apply and no payments to be made until you win your case. At that time, the repayment is the pre-determined lump sum agreed upon when you signed your application for a “lawsuit loan.”

Many plaintiffs appreciate the fact that if they lose their court case, they get to keep the litigation funding, free of charge. There is no payback required.

Deviation from the higher standard of care expected from medical personnel and in particular surgeons, may result in an incorrect diagnosis, botched treatment and post-operative care, permanent damage to the patient or a loss of life.

This story outlines the heartbreak one family endured when their infant was allegedly subjected to 25 experimental surgeries.

The child was born in 2009 with a leak in his esophagus, a condition considered non-life-threatening. In what the surgeon suggested was an attempt to help the infant, Dr. Mark Holterman performed 25 operations over a 17-month period, or approximately 2 operations per month. Now the child suffers from irreversible brain injury and cerebral palsy.

The infant’s family Filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging the operations showed a lack of oversight on the part of the hospital and that the surgeon was irresponsible and medically negligent. The plaintiff obtained a $30 million settlement, considered to be the fourth largest medical malpractice settlement in Illinois involving a child.

The unbelievable expenses this family faced were most like astronomical. One option they could have pursued to deal with the staggering medical bills while waiting for a settlement would have been to apply for a “lawsuit loan” from a litigation funding company. Pre-settlement litigation funding is a non-recourse cash advance awarded strictly on the strength of the case. Applying for litigation funding takes less than five minutes and with the cooperation of the attorney-of-record, the lawsuit cash advance can be sent to an approved plaintiff within 48 hours of their initial application. Plaintiffs do not make any payments other than a pre-determined lump sum on successful settlement or court verdict. If the lawsuit is lost, the plaintiff keeps the litigation funding free of charge.

Deborah Craven, 60, was scheduled to have eights rib removed in May 2015 at Yale Hospital in Connecticut. The operation was consider a success, but when Craven woke up, she was still experiencing pain at the surgery site. She was sent for an X-ray, where it was discovered that the wrong rib had been removed and metal coils used during the surgery had been left inside of her. Ms. Craven was immediately prepped for another operation by a different doctor than the one who performed the first surgery. She was told the second surgery was necessary because not enough of the first rib had been removed. At no time was Craven told that the surgery was necessary because the wrong rib was removed. After learning about the doctor’s attempt to cover up his mistake, Craven filed a medical negligence lawsuit seeking compensation for medical expenses, rehabilitation, and possibly punitive damages if the court finds the surgeon’s action egregious.

While waiting for her lawsuit to reach settlement or court, Craven would still need to pay medical bills accrued from both surgeries and various medical tests. Those extra and very large bills, over an above her regular financial obligations, may be difficult to pay. The perfect solution for her during the litigation process may be to apply for litigation funding either online or by calling, toll free from anywhere within the United States. 1-866-LITFUND (548-3863)

There is no cost associated with applying for a lawsuit loan and no fees are charged unless you win your case. Should you lose the case in court, you keep your pre-settlement funding, and do not pay one dime back. If the case is successful in court you repay a flat fee amount according to your contract terms. However, you also get a rebate if there is an early settlement and a fair compromise should the settlement be disappointingly inadequate.

A wrongful death lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court against a well-known bus company and the estate of the deceased bus driver. The suit alleges the driver failed to apply his brakes to avoid the crash, the bus was not properly maintained, and the driver was speeding just prior to the accident.

More than 45 people were riding the tour bus the day of the accident when the bus collided with an 18-wheeler on I-10 near Palm Springs. The bus was heading back from the Red Earth Casino.

According to the investigation of the wreck, launched by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the bus was not in compliance with vehicle safety standards – two of eight tires did not have sufficient tread to be considered safe. The NTSB investigation was not the only one to try to find out what happened. Attorneys for the families filing lawsuits also began independent investigations in the hopes to expose an allegedly poorly regulated industry.

The families that filed wrongful death lawsuits would likely be facing financial difficulties to pay for funeral and burial expenses. They would need a source of funding to help carry them through until a settlement or trial of their case. A lawsuit cash advance is a solution for plaintiffs.

What is a lawsuit cash advance? It is an advance of funds to a qualified plaintiff to pay an attorney and help settle other pressing bills and expenses. This kind of funding is also referred to as litigation funding.

Applying for pre-settlement funding is easy. The only requirement is having an attorney for representation. Litigation funding may be received within 24 to 48 hours of being approved.

A 33-year-old welder was unexpectedly electrocuted while he was on-the-job at a recycling center in October 2014. He was assisting several other workers in replacing the metal roof of an electrical transformer substation. The man’s widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit naming 24 defendants.

The lawsuit seeks compensation for pain and suffering sustained by the man prior to his death and compensation for his family and next of kin who suffered financial and emotional damages as a result of his sudden death. It is further alleged that the man believed the electrical line, which caused his death, had been de-energized. In addition the tool used to test for a live line was roughly 15 years old and should have been taken out of service after two years as required.

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OHSA) investigated the welder’s death and the company he worked for was cited for nine alleged safety violations that contributed to his death. Eight violations were rated as serious and one categorized as a repeated offense. The company was hit was a penalty of $115,000 subsequently negotiated down to $63,250. There were also three other serious violations for failing to train electrical workers in safe workplace practices.

The widow would face a difficult time and the case may take a number of months or perhaps years to reach a settlement or go to trial. It is likely going to be difficult paying the rent or mortgage and there is very little money left over after paying for funeral and burial expenses. Plaintiffs may be worried about how they are going to find the money to make ends meet?

A lawsuit cash advance, may be the right option for cash strapped plaintiffs. Pre-settlement funding can be arranged from anywhere in the United States by calling Litigation Funding Corporation’s toll free number – 1-866-LITFUND (548-3863).

There are a number of other terms for a lawsuit cash advance, such as lawsuit loan, pre-settlement funding, legal funding and case financing. A lawsuit loan is emergency funding that helps a plaintiff get back on their feet financially and pay all of their bills and monthly financial obligations.

It might be the solution for any financial problems resulting out of a pending personal injury case.

The largest wrongful death lawsuit in history was just about to begin when the logging company agreed to settle for $10 million. The agreement to settle for $10 million came on the heels of an agreement with the state for $50 million.

On March 22, 2014, a massive mudslide wiped out a neighborhood in Oso. It was an enclave of about 35 single-family homes, some built in the 1960s. Survivors recalled hearing what sounded like a plane crashing outside their homes, but on checking what the noise was, discovered a towering wall of sludge bearing down on them.

Although the whole event lasted about two minutes, the landslide slammed into the neighborhood, ripping off roofs, crushing trees and homes, and burying people alive. Reports dating back to the 1950s warned that the hillside could collapse because the local river had been eroding the base of the hill. Despite this, homes continued being build in the area.

According to area residents, the logging operation above their location was allegedly responsible for the slide because the retaining wall built along the bank of the river undercut the hill exponentially increasing the danger a mudslide. Residents allege they were never warned about a potential mudslide despite the fact that a similar landslide occurred in 2006.

The survivors of the slide were left to mourn the loss of family and friends and to gather together to launch a wrongful death lawsuit.

Although that suit never made it to court, the victims were able to receive compensation. The court also assessed $789,000 in punitive damages against the state because their expert witnesses were found to be deleting emails vital to the litigation.

The state has now passed new rules relating to logging in landslide-prone areas.

The families left behind in this tragedy would have had enormous expenses, including rebuilding their homes, and funeral and burial costs. Many of the victims may have found assistance by applying for a lawsuit loan from a litigation company to help them meet their cash shortages while waiting for case resolution.

Pre-settlement funding provides plaintiffs with immediate cash they need to cover living expenses while a case is being litigated or is in settlement negotiations. Litigation Funding Corporation does not charge any up-front fees and provides risk-free funding. Should a plaintiff lose their case in court, they do not owe the litigation company money.

There is no red tape and no credit check. A plaintiff only needs to fill out an application online or call a litigation funding company. Once the process has been started, the lawsuit loan company does the rest. Approval may come, in as little as, 24 hours and a victim may receive the approved funds within 48 hours.

The alleged negligent driver was subsequently charged with leaving the scene of the accident, two counts of drunk driving, and four counts of aggravated drunk driving. There is a possibility his charges are to be upgraded.

The 9-year-old girl was in a minivan, driven by her mother. Two other girls, ages 10 and 12, friends of the 9-year-old, were also in the vehicle at the time of the accident. The mother was driving them home after attending a church event.

Eye witnesses recounted seeing the minivan heading north while the second vehicle involved in the crash, a Cadillac Deville, was heading south. By all reports the Cadillac was drifting in and out of the oncoming lanes. Just prior to the crash the minivan driver made a hard turn to the left to avoid a collision. However, the defensive maneuver was not successful and the Cadillac hit the passenger’s side of the minivan. The minivan continued on until it struck a building.

The Cadillac driver was seen fleeing the area. Police subsequently caught the individual later and determined he was under the influence of alcohol. The family of the young girl may wish to file a wrongful death lawsuit.

The loss of a loved one brings with it extra expenses for the funeral and burial. The young girl’s family might wish to research litigation funding to aid their situation. To apply for a lawsuit loan, the plaintiffs would need to first hire an attorney. Once a lawyer of record is retained, the family may apply for pre-settlement funding.

When plaintiffs are cash strapped, applying for a lawsuit loan helps them financially to deal with monthly bills and other obligations.

Plaintiff Melancon’s baby was born in December 2013. Four days later the newborn, named Olivia, died, ostensibly as a result of the doctor’s delay and the use of forceps when the baby was in distress.

According to documents filed in this medical negligence case, Dr. George Backardjiev, attempted to use forceps to deliver the baby rather than ordering a C-section, despite the fact that the child was in distress and a natural vaginal birth was considered to be unsafe.

Nurses working with the physician, although allegedly uneasy about the situation, deferred to the doctor’s orders to increase Pitocin and keep Melancon comfortable. During the attempt at vaginal delivery, the physician attempted to use forceps three times. On two occasions they slipped and the doctor then ordered a C-section.

According to the lawsuit, by the time the C-section was ordered, the baby had sustained a partial skull fracture and brain hemorrhaging. She went into multi-organ failure and was removed from life support.

The jury in this case awarded the mother $10.2 million.

The medical bills in this case would have been extremely high, especially considering the child had to be transferred to another medical facility to receive critical care. The parents would have likely had to struggle to pay those expenses in addition to their own monthly financial commitments.

To meet those larger financial obligations, the Melancon’s could have researched litigation funding. It is the fastest and easiest path to get a lawsuit cash advance by simply completing a litigation funding online application that takes about five minutes or less. The Litigation Funding Corporation may be reached, toll free, at 1-866-LITFUND, from anywhere in the United States.

The next step is to speak with an attorney and notify them that a lawsuit loan company was contacted and that they intend to request information about the case. After that, the rest of the process is taken care of by the litigation funding and lawyer’s staff. If all things go well with the request for information, the pre-settlement funding may be received in 48 hours or less.

George Papadopoulos and his wife Katherina, filed a medical negligence lawsuit in July against several defendants, including his doctor, Smitha Rajasekhar, Hinsdale Primary Care (and Associates), Adventist Health Partners, Health System and Sunbelt Healthcare Corporation.

The complaint alleged that Dr. Smitha Rajasekhar failed to correctly diagnose the cause of Mr. Papadopoulos’ severe headaches – a debilitating condition that occurred frequently. The family sought medical help in 2011, but alleged the primary physician and other healthcare providers, failed to accurately diagnose the cerebral aneurysm.

As a result of this missed diagnoses Mr. Papadopoulos became gravely ill and his condition significantly deteriorated resulting in a more serious condition necessitating extensive medical treatment.

While waiting for their lawsuit to make its way through the legal system, the family must still pay their medical bills that accrued as a result of Mr. Papadopoulos hospitalization and all the medical treatment he received. Financially, this may be a significant burden for the family, as they would have to pay their usual monthly bills, as well.

Litigation Funding Corporation provides the cash necessary to cover living and other pressing expenses while a case is being resolved, with no up-front fees and no risk. If a case is lost, no money is owed to the litigation funding company. There is no credit check and no convoluted process to get approved. All that is required is to fill out a simple online application and let the experts do the rest.

Shelton, who was 78 at the time of his death, was a retired handyman. He had been a resident at the Stanton Nursing and Rehabilitation Center prior to being hospitalized. He was only there for three days when he was sent to Madison Health and Rehabilitation Center, a long-term care center. He arrived at that facility on June 6, 2015.

Shelton subsequently developed great difficulty breathing and sepsis and was sent to a hospital June 14, 2015. He died on the 15th of June. The statement of claim further alleged he was not assisted with oral health or given a bath during his short stay at the care facility.

According to court documents, when Shelton was admitted to the health care facility, it was discovered that he had two serious wounds, one on his right buttock and on his left heel. It is alleged that staff at the long-term care center did not reposition him often enough to halt the damage caused by pressure sores. As a result, when he was admitted, he had two gaping pressure sores that showed bone and muscle, and his genitalia were necrotic and black.

The wrongful death lawsuit states that even though Shelton was only in the care facility for eight days, he suffered a rapid and serious decline in health and that all the multiple named defendants should have provided sufficient, adequate and proper care, nursing services, and dietary requirements. The fact that Shelton was not moved enough or properly cared for is cited as a significant causative factor for emotional distress and the pain and suffering he coped with prior to death.

Mr. Shelton’s family may wish to consider applying for litigation funding to assist them in paying their dad’s medical bills, funeral and burial expenses. There is no cost to apply for a lawsuit loan and no fees charged unless you are successful in winning your lawsuit.

If you lose, you keep the pre-settlement funding. There are no strings attached and you do not pay it back. If you win your case, the fee amount per the terms of your contract is repaid. You get a rebate for early settlement and a fair compromise if the settlement is not what you expected.

With the co-operation of your attorney, you are typically funded within 48 hours or less from the time you put in your application to the time your lawsuit loan arrives in your bank account. Litigation funding may be the right lifesaver at the right time.

According to the documents filed in this wrongful death lawsuit, Gomez was not the first person to have caught their hair in a moving piece of machinery at the seed plant or their clothing entangled in conveyors in other plant locations. One of the workers who previously had their clothing seized by a conveyor belt was Francisca Gomez’s daughter.

Just prior to her death, Gomez was cleaning a seed treater/picking table. As she crawled under the table to clean the area, her hair became wound up in the machine. According to the coroner, she died as a result of being partially scalped, sustaining significant blood loss and traumatic asphyxia.

The lawsuit alleges negligence on the part of the company for not adhering to operating manual instructions for the table that cautioned there were several steps to follow to ensure the safety of workers using the equipment. The instructions said the table was to be disabled and workers given hard hats to complete their job.

Allegedly, Gomez was intentionally not given a hard hat and told to clean the table while the system was operating. Furthermore a post-accident safety assessment revealed several safety concerns, hazards, violations and dangerous conditions.

Other allegations in the statement of claim suggest the employer did nothing to save Gomez and instead ordered others in the same area to keep working. Some were working a few short steps from the body after the accident. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued a significant penalty for serious infractions in relation to the death of Francisca Gomez.

The Gomez family would have been faced with unexpected funeral and burial expenses in addition to trying to cope with their usual monthly financial obligations. They may wish to consider applying for a lawsuit cash advance.

A lawsuit loan is cash advanced to you to pay for your attorney. Also referred to as pre-settlement funding, legal funding, case financing or litigation funding, it helps you immediately while your lawyer works on your case to get it to court.

While many people wonder if a lawsuit loan is based on an individual’s credit rating, litigation funding is not based on an applicant’s credit history. The funds are sent to an approved plaintiff to cover legal and other expenses for their personal injury case, provided they have an attorney of record. If your case does not succeed, you keep the lawsuit loan with no strings attached. It’s certainly worth checking out.

This medical negligence case resulted in a jury award of $4.65 million to the family of Walter Friedlander who chose to sue for medical malpractice after the death of their father.

According to the statement of claim, Friedlander was admitted to the hospital in 2011 with severe pain. Preliminary blood tests were done. He was then seen by two doctors: Dr. Nicolas Golden and Dr. Doug Heller. But neither one of them spoke to the other after they had seen him. Mr. Friedlander was subsequently left in a medical limbo with no doctors seeing to his care and treatment.

Although doctors purported suspected pancreatitis, there were no tests done for that and no one ordered tests for what turned out to be sepsis, a very dangerous and often fatal condition. Thirty-six hours after Friedlander was admitted to the hospital, he was dead.

This case went to a New York Supreme Court jury and the six-person jury found both physicians and the hospital responsible for Friedlander’s death. The hospital did not agree with the verdict and it is expected that it plans to request the motion be set aside and to reserve its option to appeal.

Despite the short period of time during which Mr. Friedlander was in the hospital, his family would have faced a significant bill for the tests done, the two doctors attending on him, the cost of the room and any medications he may have received. They would also need funds for his funeral and burial.

The Friedlander family may have been interested in applying for a lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company to help them deal with any cash flow shortage they may have had. Pre-settlement funding is emergency fast cash that allows a plaintiff the security of having funds in the bank and on hand to pay all of their necessary bills, including mortgage, school loan, rent and car payments.

Life does not come to a full stop because you are involved in a lawsuit, and it certainly does not wait for the lawsuit to pay off. Litigation funding provides you with the cash needed right now to cover living expenses while your case is being prepared and fought. There are no upfront fees involved in applying for a lawsuit loan and litigation funding is without risk. If you lose, you do not owe the company one dime.

Tabatha and Karle Griffith took their young son Gabriel to the local pediatrician December 13, 2010 to find out why their son was vomiting frequently. Dr. Ann Lambernedis examined him at Teays Pediatrics. The doctor could not say why the child was vomiting and did not take his pulse at the time even though radiological tests were performed on Gabriel’s chest and abdomen.

The young boy continued to vomit, prompting the parents to call the doctor several times for assistance. On December 27, 2010 the parents once again took their son to Teays Pediatrics for help. Dr. Lambernedis still had no diagnosis to offer them and once again the child’s pulse was not taken.

In July 2011, the child was once again taken to see Dr. Lambernedis because he was still vomiting. There was no diagnosis suggested at this time either, but the child’s pulse was noted to be 100 beats per minute. More chest and abdomen tests were performed again.

A week later, the Griffith family received a referral from Dr. Lambernedis to a gastroenterologist. By the time the Griffiths went to see the gastroenterologist in August 2011, their son’s pulse was 160 beats per minute.

Their son was sent to the hospital and diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia. His breathing rate doubled and according to the statement of claim filed in this case, hospital staff did not intubate him in a timely manner. The Griffith’s son suffered cardiac arrest the next day and sustained irreversible neurological damage, leaving him in a permanent vegetative state.

The Griffiths filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging Dr. Lambernedis was negligent in diagnosing their son’s condition and not treating him correctly and that the hospital and other medical professionals were also negligent in their care and treatment of their son.

In order to handle their medical bills, the Griffiths would need access to a substantial amount of money. The ideal solution for them may be to apply for litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding. Being approved for and receiving litigation funding does not mean the finance company is involved in your case. All case litigation strategies, trial preparation, settlements, negotiations and legal decisions remain in the purview of your attorney in partnership with you.

A lawsuit loan is considered to be non-recourse funding, which means that any repayment is dependent on the outcome of your case. If it should fail in court, there is no repayment and you keep the funding with no obligation to repay it.

The salad that 79-year-old Ellen DiStefano consumed one night killed her. It was contaminated with Listeria bacteria which invaded her body putting her into a coma. Dole’s Springfield, Ohio plant was identified as the source of the Listeria tainted salads. The plant was shuttered for three months to deal with the issue.
DiStefano’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Dole alleging gross negligence, malice, recklessness and wanton/willful disregard for the public. It was the second suit filed in relation to the outbreak and it alleges that Dole did not have a system in place to prevent contamination. It further alleges that the company knew about the Listeria contamination prior to the outbreak, as far back as 2014.

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Dole’s product showed signs of Listeria during swab rests in 2014, yet they continued to ship their salads throughout the United States and Canada. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that at least 19 individuals were seriously affected by the tainted salads and one man in Michigan died. In Canada, there were 14 reported cases in five provinces and three deaths that may be linked to the Dole salads. It is anticipated that there will be more lawsuits filed in the months to come.

In order to pay all the medical bills incurred while Mrs. DiStephano was in hospital for a month, the family may have needed a source of income other than their jobs. One solution would be litigation funding, also referred to as a lawsuit loan.

A litigation funding company provides an immediate cash advance to fund a lawsuit using a very simple three-step, no risk process. Plaintiffs fill out an intake form, as well as the lawyer questionnaire form, and send in the relevant paperwork. Once approved, plaintiffs can receive their fast cash in as little as two days.

There is no longer any need for plaintiffs to settle for pennies on the dollar. Litigation funding allows the plaintiffs to let their lawyers do their jobs and the cases to run their course to a fair and equitable conclusion. Do not agree to an unfair settlement because you are strapped for cash. A lawsuit loan can level the playing field between you and the insurance company.

This lawsuit deals with an edible marijuana manufacturer in Colorado who sold 50-year-old Richard Kirk a ten-pack of chewy Karma Kandy Orange Ginger candies, each containing 10 milligrams of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). According to law enforcement personnel, Mr. Kirk had eaten a fair number of those candies the night he shot and killed his wife.

On April 14, 2014, 44-year-old Kristine Kirk, Richard’s Kirk’s wife, called 911 and told the police her husband had taken some marijuana and was hallucinating. Several minutes later, gunshots were heard and the call was disconnected.

When police arrived at the Kirk residence, they discovered that the shooting had taken place in front of the couple’s three children. They were not harmed and were placed with relatives. Mr. Kirk was taken into custody and faces first-degree murder charges in the death of his wife.

The guardians of the Kirk’s three children filed what may well be a unique bellwether wrongful death lawsuit against the candy maker and the distributor. It alleges that the makers purposely and recklessly concealed the dosage instructions and did not include a warning on the packages that getting high from edibles could lead to hallucinations, paranoia and psychosis.

Mr. Kirk’s defense counsel plans to enter a plea of not guilty by reason of drug-induced insanity.

There is not a lot of information available on the side effects of ingesting recreational marijuana and that fact may open the door to hold the maker of such edible products as Karma Kandy Orange Ginger candies liable. What is relatively well known is that ingesting THC can be more unpredictable than smoking the drug because the effects are usually delayed and the adverse reactions can be quite severe.

The Kirk family would have had significant bills to pay for the funeral and burial of Ms. Kirk. Trying to pay those bills while also assuming responsibility for three children would be financially difficult. The fastest way to obtain cash during their pending claim may have been to apply for litigation funding.

The whole process takes five minutes or less and applicants may fill out the litigation funding intake form online or call for information. Once the forms have been processed, it is up to the plaintiffs to call their attorneys and advise them a request for information is coming from the lawsuit loan company. The cash is typically in plaintiffs’ hands within 48 hours or less. There is no risk for the plaintiffs and the litigation funding company only gets paid when the plaintiffs win their cases.

Mongar, who died at the age of 41, had placed her trust in Dr. Kermit Gosnell to perform a safe dilation and evacuation abortion at what was then his facility, the Women’s Medical Society, in Philadelphia. Gosnell, now incarcerated, was convicted of first-degree murder for the deaths of three babies born alive during other abortion procedures.

The wrongful death lawsuit was filed in the Philadelphia County Court of Common Pleas in 2011. In May 2011, Gosnell was sentenced to up to five years for an involuntary manslaughter charge relating to Mongar’s death.

According to the statement of claim filed in this case, the Women’s Medical Society staff were not certified to perform medical tasks, yet were in charge of giving Mongar a variety of pain medications on the day of the abortion procedure. The drugs administered on three different occasions throughout a five-hour period were diazepam, meperidine and promethazine.

Once the procedure was completed, staff at the Society called for emergency rescue personnel because Mongar’s respiration had slowed down and she had an extremely low pulse rate. Police had to remove a padlock from the emergency exit to allow first responders to take Mongar to hospital. Although she was alive when she arrived at the hospital and immediately put on life support, she passed away several hours later.

Mongar’s family chose to file a wrongful death, medical negligence lawsuit under the Wrongful Death and Survival Acts of Pennsylvania. The suit was seeking compensation for loss of services to three children, a husband and grandchild, as well as damages.

Filing a wrongful death lawsuit would not bring Mongar back, but it would allow the family to move forward, grieve and send a message to others that what happened to Mongar should never happen to anyone else.

Prior to the court award, the family would have likely been struggling to pay for ambulance, hospital, funeral and burial expenses in addition to their own usual monthly financial obligations. One ideal solution for them would have been to seek out information on applying for a lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company.

Pre-settlement funding, also referred to as a lawsuit loan, is fast cash sent to an approved plaintiff to help them pay all of their usual and unusual bills as quickly as possible. Those choosing to apply for pre-settlement funding may call the litigation funding company directly or apply online. Funding representatives are highly trained to help plaintiffs calling for help and feeling like they are at the end of their rope.

Many victims are thankful to have someone listen to them, understand what they are going through and offer them a lawsuit loan based on the facts of their case. Applicants need to have the name of the attorney they are working with and must be able to provide proper case documentation when asked. Once approved, the plaintiff receives their litigation funding in their bank account in less than 48 hours.

Pre-settlement funding is a lifesaver for financially strapped plaintiffs trying to hold on until their case is settled or goes to court. A lawsuit loan brings them peace of mind.

This case is disturbing for the use of a dog leash to tie up the defendant, who may have been having a psychotic episode at the time. The leash was used to stop Hernandez from attacking officers and to stop him from further harming himself.

While held in place on his stomach, he was transported to a hospital where the restraining dog leash was removed. On arrival, staff gave him medication to calm him down, but he stopped breathing. Although he was revived, he had suffered severe brain damage and clung to life in a vegetative state for several months before passing away.

A wrongful death lawsuit was filed.

In situations such as this, where a deceased defendant spent a significant amount of time in hospital, the medical bills would be extremely high. It would be difficult for the family to pay such bills while struggling to stay current on their own financial obligations.

The family might wish to consider applying for a lawsuit loan, otherwise referred to as litigation funding. Pre-settlement funding can be a lifesaver for cash-strapped defendants needing to pay their usual expenses and their extraordinary expenses and attempting to do so on a limited income.

A lawsuit loan, if the applicant is approved, is fast cash sent directly to a plaintiff’s bank account. On its arrival, they may use it to pay those pressing medical bills, funeral and burial expenses and other expenditures related to the care and subsequent death of a loved one.

Applying for pre-settlement funding is easy. It just takes a phone call or a visit to the litigation funding company website and filling out a form. Applicants need to be working with an attorney, file all the proper paperwork and provide as much information as possible to the company before a decision is made.

Plaintiffs find litigation funding to be appealing for a number of reasons. They do not need to have a job when they apply, they are not required to go through a credit check and they do not pay any money upfront or during his or her wait for a trial or settlement offer. If they lose the case, they keep the lawsuit loan. There are no strings attached.

The Peters family states in their lawsuit that Pfizer was negligent in their marketing of Lipitor, referred to as a statin designed to allegedly lower cholesterol levels in users. The drug company allegedly did not say much about the very high risk of Lipitor causing diabetes.

According to the statement of claim, Phillipa Peters took Lipitor from 1996 until 2014, the year of her death. She was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes in 1997. Due to various complications arising from the diabetes, Peters needed dialysis until she died in Nov. 2014.

Peters spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals and as a result accrued large medical bills. On her death, her family would need to find a way to pay her medical debt. In launching the lawsuit against Pfizer, the family would hope for compensation to assist them in paying medical expenses.

While waiting for a lawsuit to make its way to court, or waiting for a settlement, the Peters family would be trying to pay their usual monthly financial obligations, whether that be the mortgage, a student or a car loan or even rent. Trying to find extra money would be difficult.

The Peters family may want to check into obtaining litigation funding, also referred to as a lawsuit loan. Pre-settlement funding is often the lifeline financially strapped plaintiffs need to be able to pay their usual and extraordinary expenses while they wait for their case to be resolved.

There are no credit checks required. There are no fees upfront. There are no monthly fees. The applicant plaintiff does not need to have a job when he or she applies. Approved applicants do not need to deal with insurance companies wanting them to settle for less than the case may be worth in court. They get to keep the lawsuit loan if the case is lost at trial.

While litigation funding is not for everyone, it is worth checking into. It might be the very financial lifeline needed to get the family through a very tough time.

Telesfora Fuentes, Yesenia Resendiz and her 11-month-old baby died in a crash on I-35 when their vehicle was rear-ended by an 18-wheeler. Surviving family members filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the rig and the trucking company seeking more than $1 million in compensation.

The statement of claim for the lawsuit alleges the trucker, Debra Thompson, slammed into the rear of the Cruz vehicle, causing it to spin out of control. Cruz’s vehicle had apparently sustained a blown out tire and it was unstable on the road. Any vehicle behind the Cruz’s should have seen there was a problem and taken evasive action.

Allegedly, the truck driver, who was working at the time of the accident, was negligent in failing to take evasive action on witnessing the Cruz vehicle on the highway and in not taking the proper actions to avoid an accident, and she failed to operate her big rig in a prudent and reasonable manner. The lawsuit also names her employer, Werner Enterprises, for failing to properly train its truck drivers.

The crash survivors will face enormous costs for three burials and a funeral. Their loss is enormous in more ways than one, and the family left behind will have to struggle to pay their usual expenses as well. One solution that may work well for them is to apply for litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding — money sent to an approved plaintiff that allows them to take care of all their extraordinary expenses and their monthly financial obligations while waiting for trial.

While a lawsuit loan is not for everyone, many plaintiffs find it appealing because they are not asked to pay anything up front or during his or her wait for a trial or a settlement to be hammered out. Applicants are not required to go through a credit check, do not need to be working when they apply, and should the lawsuit be lost in court, the plaintiff gets to keep the lawsuit loan, no strings attached.

Litigation funding is a fast cash option for personal injury victims who have been hard hit financially as the result of an accident or death.

This wrongful death lawsuit was launched against Swisher County in Amarillo, Texas and ultimately resulted in a $1.5 million verdict after a four day trial.

Terry Borum, who was mentally disabled, found himself in jail, where he began to go into alcohol withdrawal. He was experiencing auditory hallucinations, crying for help and suffered a series of convulsions. Jail staff responded by giving him sips of orange juice and honey. No other medical treatment was offered. The cause of Borum’s death was head trauma, sustained after he fell and injured his head.

The wrongful death lawsuit alleged the county failed to provide proper and adequate medical care; discriminated against him for his mental disorder; had a policy, custom and practice of not adequately staffing the jail; violated the decedent’s 14th Amendment and discriminated against him under the Americans with Disabilities Act.

The defendants in this case stated they did not feel they were indifferent to Borum’s right, did not violate his constitutional rights and did not have a practice, custom or policy of understaffing the jail. They alleged Borum’s case was an isolated incident.

The Sheriff at the time of Borum’s death said during the trial that he would not have done anything different than providing the prisoner with honey and orange juice.

Winning this lawsuit does not bring Terry Borum back, but it does help his family carry on with their lives in his absence. Wrongful death lawsuits are not about revenge. They are about sending the defendants and others a strong message that such negligent actions will not be tolerated.

Borum’s family might have found it helpful to apply for a lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company. When applying for pre-settlement funding, the plaintiff only needs to provide the details of their case and the name of the attorney they have hired to represent them.

Once the case has been assessed and approved by the litigation funding company, the emergency funds are sent within 48 hours directly to the plaintiff’s bank account. Most plaintiffs deal with urgent bills first and retain funds to allow them to pay their other important bills, such as the mortgage, rent, car payments or student loans.

Plaintiffs particularly like the fact that once they have the lawsuit loan in the bank, they do not need to deal with rapacious insurance companies who want them to settle fast and for less money than they may be entitled to from the court.

The trial took two weeks from start to finish and the jury handed down a very large medical malpractice award of $7.5 million, a figure that is to be reduced to $3.5 million due to capping. Lawsuit caps may only be overridden if a jury finds a physician was grossly negligent, acted with malice when the patient was harmed, reckless or acted fraudulently.

Her lawsuit was filed against surgeon Andrew Morfesis of the Owen Drive Surgical Clinic in Fayetteville, alleging he left her with a leaking hole in her bowels, caused during colon surgery in 2010.

Dickerson was extremely ill after the initial surgery, being plagued by recurring and severe infections, eventually tracked back to a hole in her bowel. She remained in hospital for over four months, enduring three more operations and a six-week coma. She now requires care for the rest of her life. She alleges the surgeon and doctor in charge of her aftercare, Dr. Kelly Marie Van Fossen, were negligent.

The defendants insisted at trial that Dickerson’s ill health was a result of other causes and the leak had developed later, not due to a mistake made during the initial operation. They further stated they had saved Dickerson’s life in the face of inherent health risks. The jury disagreed and found them negligent, but not reckless. The award was $3.24 million to cover hospital and other expenses and losses, an extra $4 million representing non-economic damages and $300,000 for her husband’s loss of consortium.

While waiting for the trial to take place, the Dickerson family may have approached a litigation funding company to apply for a lawsuit loan to keep them financially stable until their case was heard. Pre-settlement funding is an emergency lawsuit loan sent to a qualified plaintiff, working with an attorney. The attorney and plaintiff work as partners to provide information to the litigation funding company.

Applying for a lawsuit loan is user friendly, easily done online or by phone, and the representatives are highly trained to assist applicants. Many plaintiffs in dire financial circumstances have found applying for pre-settlement funding helped them pay off their medical expenses right away and wait while an attorney was assembling a court case.

NorthShore University Health System (Glenbrook Hospital) and Dr. Steven Meyers are being sued by Saleh for failing to diagnose and treat hypoglycemia in a timely manner, not ordering lab work to determine why her physical and mental status kept changing during her admission and failure to determine the cause of a stroke and to treat the underlying cause in order to prevent further injuries.

According to the statement of claim (Cook County Circuit Court case number 2015L009811), Saleh was a patient at Glenbrook Hospital in March 2014, and in the care of Meyers. Due to the physician not correctly or appropriately treating her for hypoglycemia, she alleges she was the victim of a stroke that that then remained untreated for several hours causing her further pain, anguish and injury and a prolonged stay in hospital.

If a doctor, other medical professionals or a hospital do not properly care for a patient, that individual may have grounds to file a medical malpractice lawsuit. Medical malpractice can take on many forms from misdiagnosis to medication errors and surgical errors to failure to diagnose.

The Saleh family may wish to consider sourcing litigation funding to help them get through the next few months while their case is being prepared to go to trial. Pre-settlement funding is an emergency cash loan sent as quickly as possible to a qualified plaintiff.

The lawsuit loan goes straight into his or her bank account and may be accessed to pay for anything. However, most plaintiffs receiving litigation funding know that it is wise to pay medical bills first and keep the remainder for pay for their normal and usual financial obligations, such as student loans, rent, mortgage and car payments.

Litigation funding is not for everyone, but it is a good option to look into. Being financially strapped while waiting for a trial is enormously stressful and may contribute to deteriorating health consequences for the plaintiff. They have already been through the wringer in more ways than one before they make a call to a litigation funding company, or apply online.

Representatives are highly trained and treat all applicants with respect. A plaintiff wishing to apply for pre-settlement funding needs to be able to provide the required documents for verification of their case and must also provide the name of the attorney he or she is working with to facilitate matters.

This is a no stress process and plaintiffs do not require a credit check, do not need to be working when they make an application, do not pay any money up front or over the term of the lawsuit loan and may keep the money if their case loses in court.

Beau Orth seemingly had a chance at a career playing football and was looking forward to playing professionally. He went in to surgery to treat a herniated disc, which consisted of a micro-discectomy at LS-S1. His doctor told him that surgery was simple and easy and would allow him to play in a few weeks. Orth, who was 21 years old at the time, came out of surgery to discover the surgeon, Dr. Albert Capanna, had operated on L4-5, not LS-S1.

The result was a severe collapse of his disc. His spine was permanently damaged and he would never play football again. He faces the prospect of multiple future surgeries to attempt to correct the damage left behind by Capanna. According to the statement of claim, Capanna had reportedly also conducted a wrong-level surgery on at least one other UNLV football player.

The medical malpractice lawsuit seeks damages and hopes to make a statement that this type of error should never happen to any other players or patients. Medical bills in a situation such as this are staggeringly high, and even though Orth may have earned money from his early football career, it would be difficult to pay off the bills, particularly since he will require several future surgeries.

The ongoing expenses, medications and rehabilitation are going to becostly. Orth may wish to consider applying for pre-settlement funding from a litigation funding company. It is a user-friendly process and an application may be filled out online or by calling the lawsuit loan company directly.

Once the details of the case have been reviewed with the attorney-of-record and the application has been approved, the funds are expedited to the plaintiff, landing directly in his or her bank account in less than 48 hours. Applicants for pre-settlement funding are not required to be working when they apply, are not expected to go through a credit check and do not pay any funds upfront or throughout the duration of the lawsuit loan. They also do not have to deal with any insurance companies seeking to mitigate their losses by trying to get the plaintiff to settle for less than what they may get in court or on settlement.

Klade’s lawsuit is seeking compensation of more than $75,000 for emotional distress, mental anguish, pain, suffering, medical and rehabilitative costs, loss of income, loss of employment, loss of earning capacity and loss of enjoyment of life as a result of elective vascular surgery to repair an open aortic aneurysm in December 2012. The suit also alleges the hospital and its medical staff were negligent for not reducing/reversing Klade’s heparin, not ordering an activated clotting time test and not appropriately handling Klade’s hypotension (low blood pressure).

According to the information filed with the complaint, Klade was given heparin before, during and after the surgery. His surgeon was Dr. Scott Charette and the anesthesiologist was Dr. Robert Childs. The complaint detailed that Klade lost 3,200 ml of blood during the surgery and his heparin was not reduced after the surgery. He was taken to recovery and two hours later transferred to a critical care unit with dangerously low blood pressure.

After being in critical care for two hours both doctors agreed Klade was likely suffering from internal bleeding and he was taken back into surgery. Despite an exploratory operation to determine the source of blood filling Klade’s abdomen, Charette could not find a specific source. Klade was taken back to critical care and remained heavily sedated and on a ventilator for several weeks. He was eventually stable enough to be taken to physical therapy where it was discovered he was blind and almost totally deaf. Klade needs care for the rest of his life.

The medical expenses in a case such as this one would be enormous and difficult to pay. The family would be hard pressed to keep up with their usual financial obligations without attempting to pay the thousands of dollars billed for two surgeries and a prolonged stay in a hospital. Although there are a number of possible solutions, including attempting to secure a personal loan from family members, the best resolution to this dilemma would be applying for litigation funding. A lawsuit loan is emergency funding sent directly to an approved plaintiff, done within 24 to 48 hours. The funds are sent by the fastest method possible and may be used by the plaintiff for anything.

Most, however, take care of their pressing medical bills and hang on to the rest of the funds to deal with any other financial necessity that arises while they are waiting for their case to go to settlement or trial. Cash strapped plaintiffs find pre-settlement funding appealing for a number of reasons. Once they have such funding, they are not obligated to deal with insurance companies in a hurry to get them to settle cheaply, and if they lose their case in court, they get to keep the loan with no strings attached.

Rogers was discharged several hours later and was found dead in her home the next day. As a result of her sudden death, an inquest was held and it was discovered that the radiologist failed to diagnose an ultimately fatal heart condition, a dissected aorta. The inquest found there was no reason why the doctor made an incorrect diagnosis and stated in his report that there was no acute abnormality seen in the abdomen or chest. A dissected aorta is clearly seen on a CT scan.

In addition to the stress and grief this family suffered, they would have also been faced with large medical bills for the medical care provided, including paying for the ambulance trip to the hospital and funeral and burial expenses.

A solution for their financial difficulties could come in the form of litigation funding, otherwise known as pre-settlement funding or a lawsuit loan. Litigation funding is an emergency cash advance that allows plaintiffs in financial straits to get back on their feet while they are waiting for their case to be settled or to go to court.

In order to receive litigation funding, the plaintiff and their attorney must first submit the required case paperwork to a litigation funding company for approval. The case outlines all the facts and the suggested amount it may be settled for or what the plaintiff may be awarded in court. Once the application has been approved, the lawsuit loan arrives directly in the plaintiff’s bank account within 24 to 48 hours.

From there, the applicant may use the pre-settlement funding to spend on anything they want. However, most know that paying their immediate medical bills and staying current on all other financial obligations is the smart thing to do. It also makes good sense for them to hold funds for the duration of their wait for justice.

One of the highlights of having that money on hand is the fact that plaintiffs do not have to deal with insurance companies who want them to settle for far less than they could expect in court. Insurance companies are not in the business to settle high. They want to reduce, diminish or dismiss as many claims as possible.

With litigation funding in the bank, the plaintiff can ignore any insurance company overture to settle. Applying for a lawsuit loan is also a very user-friendly process, with service representatives to help every step of the way. They know that when a plaintiff applies for a lawsuit loan, they have been through the wringer and need help. Plaintiffs are treated with great respect and courtesy.

Vincent Chambers, 26, was working for the county utilities department in Orange County, Florida, when he began to experience back pain in 2012. He was given a battery of tests including a Tuberculosis (TB) test, spent 10 days in hospital and visited several medical practitioners and a rheumatologist in early January 2013.

The rheumatologist diagnosed Chambers with rheumatoid arthritis and administered a shot of HUMIRA, which is contraindicated for patients with tuberculosis.

It was not long after receiving the HUMIRA injection that Chambers began to lose feeling from the waist down and experience numbness. He went to the Orlando Regional Medical Center E.R. where he was diagnosed with complete paraplegia; the doctor who examined him stated an infectious disease was not a likely cause of his paralysis.

Chambers, who was using a wheelchair, was eventually sent to University of Florida Health – Shands Hospital. Doctors there indicated he had tuberculosis, not rheumatoid arthritis, and that in fact there was no evidence he ever had rheumatoid arthritis. He was started on the appropriate TB medication on January 28, 2013.

The plaintiff in this case chose to file a medical malpractice lawsuit against multiple named defendants, alleging breach of duty, failure to provide reasonable medical care, negligence and failure to provide appropriate treatment. The statement of claim for the lawsuit indicates Chambers has medical bills in excess of a half-million dollars and that he needs personal care for the rest of his life, for which his expenses would be in the millions.

Faced with such astronomical bills and the necessity of medical care for the remainder of his life, Chambers may have been interested in finding out about pre-settlement funding. A lawsuit loan would assist him in paying off his medical bills and also keep current with his regular financial obligations.

By contacting a litigation funding company, one would discover that pre-settlement funding takes the form of a fast cash loan that usually arrives in the approved plaintiff’s bank account in less than 48 hours. The applicant would not be subjected to a credit check, pay any money upfront or monthly and would not need to be employed. The applicant would need to be working with an attorney, who would be responsible for submitting the paperwork to get the lawsuit loan rolling.

Litigation funding is not for everyone, but there are many appealing aspects to it for some. Should the case be lost in court, the applicant may keep the lawsuit loan free and clear of any obligations whatsoever.

Leigh came to his doctor in 2008 with a large mass in his neck. It was identified as an inflamed lymph node that would require surgery to remove it. At that time, his doctor, Daniel Schwartz, worked for the MidState Medical Group.

The inflamed lymph node was successfully removed in the surgery, however, 58-year-old Leigh sustained permanent nerve damage to his left shoulder during surgery. His disability is so severe that he is unable to work or use his left arm. He has nerve palsy, cannot raise or extend his left arm over his head, suffers from permanent pain and numbness and has a disfigured shoulder and arm. At the time of Leigh’s operation, he was employed as a laborer.

It was revealed during the course of Leigh’s three-week trial that his mass could have been treated by administering antibiotics, and the radical surgery had not been necessary. It was later discovered the mass was caused by Cat Scratch Disease, a bacterial infection that can cause inflammation of the lymph glands.

At the end of the three-week trial, a six-person jury handed down an award that included $500,000 for pain and suffering, $500,000 for loss of enjoyment of life, $1.625 million for future pain and suffering and a further $1.625 million for future loss of enjoyment of life’s activities. The doctor stopped practicing surgery in 2010.

Leigh would have been a good candidate to apply for pre-settlement funding from a litigation funding company. Litigation funding is a lawsuit loan advanced to a qualified plaintiff to allow them to pay their overwhelming medical and other expenses while they wait for a trial or settlement.

The process to apply for a lawsuit loan is very user-friendly and may be done online or by making a phone call and speaking to an intake representative. The plaintiff wishing to apply for a loan must have an attorney-of-record and be able to provide the paperwork the litigation funding company requires to approve pre-settlement funding. Once a plaintiff is approved, their funds may be on the way to his or her bank in less than 24 hours.

Although this may not be an option for everyone, it is appealing to many to help them get out of debt while they wait for their case to be resolved.

The wrongful death lawsuit filed in this case alleges negligent infliction of emotional distress and elder abuse by Health Net of California Inc. The company cut off insurance payments for Alicin Basley during her chemotherapy treatments for colon cancer. The lawsuit suggests that in terminating the payment, Basley died sooner than she otherwise would have had the treatments been continued.

The statement of claim indicates that Basely had stage 3 colon cancer and her tumor was surgically excised a month following her initial diagnosis. The cancer progressed to stage 4 and she started treatment in October 2013. Her health had improved significantly by spring.

In the summer of 2014, the California Department of Health Care Services transferred her insurance plan to a plan offered by Health Net. Health Net was allegedly aware that if Basley’s treatment were interrupted it would mean a serious risk to her health. Health Net terminated her coverage, suggesting treatments were not medically necessary and that her physician was not in their network.

Despite the family’s attempts to have Health Net reverse its decision, Basley did not receive proper care and died in a local hospice in October.

Basley’s family would face staggering medical bills for the care and treatment of their mother, as well as her funeral and burial expenses. One option open to them to take care of those bills quickly would be to apply for a lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company. Pre-settlement funding or litigation funding is an emergency lawsuit loan, fast cash, made available to qualified plaintiffs on approval of their application.

Qualifying plaintiffs find the process user-friendly and it accommodates their immediate need for financial support. A lawsuit loan also permits the victims and those that represent victims the time and space to heal and not have to deal with insurance companies that try to get them to settle for less than they may be awarded in court.

Emily Springer, a retired teacher, was 95-years-old on the day she went for a ride with her caregiver, 23-year-old Aimi Salazar. They were driving in a handicap-equipped minivan that came to a sudden stop. Springer, who suffered from dementia, was thrown out of her chair, breaking her fragile legs and several ribs and sustaining multiple contusions and internal injuries. Those injuries led to Springer’s death several months later.

The death certificate indicated that “blunt force injuries” contributed significantly to her death. In the portion of the certificate that is designated to describe how the injuries occurred was written: “Fell out of wheelchair/caretaker did not strap her in properly.”

According to the statement of claim in the lawsuit filed against her, the caregiver had secured Springer’s chair inside the van in the proper manner, but she did not buckle Springer’s seat belt for her. Springer was unable to buckle it up herself. During the ensuing ride, Salazar, for an unknown reason, slammed on the brakes, catapulting Springer into the dashboard while her wheelchair remained fixed in its restraints.

Eyewitness accounts appended to court documents report that Salazar pulled into a parking lot to ask a truck driver to help her lift her charge back into her wheelchair. Two good Samaritans did assist in putting Springer back into her chair, while Salazar allegedly texted on her cellphone.

With two broken legs and several broken ribs, Springer was in ferocious, unrelenting pain. Salazar was indicted on a charge of injury to an elderly individual. The second lawsuit filed, a civil wrongful death lawsuit, is set to proceed once the criminal charges have been handled.

One of the most troubling things about the case is that Salazar did not call for medical aid, did not call 911, did not call an ambulance, did not report the incident to the police and did not tell Springer’s family about the fall.

Springer’s family may wish to look into applying for pre-settlement funding from a litigation funding company. A lawsuit loan is emergency funding sent to a qualified plaintiff that allows them to pay for their usual expenses and the added burden of enormous medical expenses. In some instances, plaintiffs are also struggling to pay funeral and burial expenses.

Many plaintiffs find litigation funding appealing because it does not have to be paid back if they lose their case in court. They are also not required to pay any funds upfront or during the wait for the trial, do not need to have a job when they apply and are not required to go through a credit check.

Sergio Navas, 36-years-old, died on March 5, 2015. The incident began when two LAPD officers spotted a gold 2003 Mercury Sable bearing paper license plates. The car had been reported stolen an it appeared to be driven erratically. The police started to follow the car, and at that moment, the individual driving it increased speed and fled. The officers pursued, and a six-minute chase ended when their cruiser and the suspect’s vehicle collided.

The police officer in the cruiser’s passenger seat opened fire. The driver of the car with the paper plates exited his vehicle and ran toward an alley entrance situated a few feet from the scene of the crash. A foot chase ensued with no further shots fired. Navas was apprehended, brought down and cuffed on the sidewalk, where he died. First responders pronounced Navas dead at the scene. It was the second fatal shooting by the LAPD in four days.

The claim filed against the City of Los Angeles and Officer Brian Van Gordon seeks punitive damages, survival and general damages, loss of financial support and funeral and burial expenses.

The statement of claim for his family’s lawsuit alleges that Navas in no way presented as a threat to the police officer at the time of the shooting — that Officer Van Gordon was not at risk for his life or serious bodily injury.

Further allegations involve a claim of failure to call for medical assistance, battery, negligence and false arrest and imprisonment.

The Navas family may wish to look into applying for litigation funding to help pay the expenses that resulted from this sudden death. A lawsuit loan assists struggling plaintiffs to pay their usual financial obligations— such as mortgage, rent, car or student loans — as well as those incurred for the loss of a family member.

Also referred to as pre-settlement funding, the lawsuit loan, placed directly in the plaintiff’s bank account, may be used for anything. But most approved applicants take care of their immediate bills, such a funeral and burial expenses. Cases like the wrongful death suit filed by Navas’ Family may take a long time to get to court and are sometimes even settled on the steps of the courthouse. In the meantime, pre-settlement funding, would give the family the financial assistance to help them manage day-to-day while waiting for a resolution to their case.

According to the details of the statement of claim filed with the lawsuit, Kill passed away as a result of complications from bleeding into her brain. The suit that her son filed seeks damages for the pain and suffering she experienced, loss of the enjoyment of life, mental anguish and subsequent death. The suit is also seeking compensation for medical, funeral and burial expenses.

Helen Kill’s family choose to file a medical malpractice, wrongful death lawsuit against the Lima Memorial Health System, the Heart Institute of Northwest Ohio and physician/cardiologist Dr. Pamela Gardner. The suit suggests that the medical professionals did not properly monitor or take care of of Kill and, as a result, she died. The lawsuit further alleges that the named defendants were negligent in their duty of care to Helen Kill.

Faced with medical bills on top of usual monthly financial obligations, Kill’s family may be interested in applying for an emergency fast cash lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company. Litigation funding or pre-settlement funding is an emergency lawsuit loan that allows the plaintiff to take care of all their bills immediately. Those bills would include not just unusual and unexpected medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, but other important financial commitments, such as mortgage payments or rent, school tuition or student loans and other pressing financial necessities.

The application process is user-friendly and all the plaintiff needs to do is fill out the required paperwork online. The plaintiff must have hired an attorney in order to be eligible for pre-settlement funding. Once an applicant has been approved, the necessary funding is sent directly to their bank account within 48 hours or less. It is direct deposit and provides immediate access so the plaintiff can begin paying their debts. A lawsuit loan offers peace of mind to applicants, as they can afford to appear in court and have no need to settle for less than they may be entitled to. While pre-settlement funding is not for everyone, it is worth investigating as a possible option.

Eleven-year-old Landon Wood had no idea that a cookie purchased at a Publix Super Market would trigger his severe nut allergy, causing him to go into anaphylactic shock and die.

The Wood family were on a trip to visit Landon’s aunt in Clarksville, Tenn. His mother, Beth Cline, always made sure to carry an EpiPen with her as an emergency response to her son’s allergy. During their trip, they went shopping at a local Publix Super Market, complete with a bakery counter loaded with all kinds of enticing goodies, including muffins, pastries, cookies and brownies.

None of the products had warning labels on them relating to allergens possibly being present in the baking, nor were there any signs suggesting there may be issues with the cross-contamination of products produced in the presence of nuts. Landon asked for a cookie and his mother checked with the employee behind the bakery counter about the contents and exposure to contaminants of the baked treats. The store employee stated their “Chocolate Chew” cookie did not contain tree nut allergens. The label on the cookie also carried no such information.

When the family had returned home to their aunt’s house, Beth Cline took a bite of the cookie to test it first. She did not detect the presence of any nuts and gave it to her son to eat. Three bites later he insisted there was something in it because his mouth had started to burn. As it turned out, the Chocolate Chew did contain walnuts.

Even though Landon’s mother promptly administered his EpiPen, his condition worsened and he lost consciousness. Medical staff was unable to revive him at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and Landon passed away on June 3, 2014. Publix offered the family their deepest condolences for the loss of Landon. The family decided to file a wrongful death lawsuit, not to garner financial reward, but to attempt to raise awareness of how deadly food allergies can be in children and others with similar issues.
The statement of claim for the lawsuit does suggest Publix needs to be following federal food labelling laws relating to food allergens.

The sudden death of their son and the medical, funeral and burial expenses would be difficult for the family to handle all at once, in conjunction with their usual financial obligations. In their situation, applying for litigation funding, an emergency cash lawsuit loan that allows plaintiffs in difficult financial circumstances to pay their pressing necessity bills right away, might provide some financial support. Any cash left over after all vital and usual expenses have been paid may be kept to use while waiting for the case to be settled or until it goes to trial.

Plaintiffs only need to have an attorney of record to contact a litigation finance company and discuss applying for pre-settlement funding. It is a user-friendly system with no requirement of a credit check, employment verification or any payment upfront or during the duration of the lawsuit loan. Should they lose their case in court, the plaintiffs retain the pre-settlement funding, with zero strings attached.

On Feb 8, 2005, William McDermott stopped on the sidewalk to watching the progress of tree trimming performed by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. McDermott, 77, bypassed several orange traffic cones and stopped to talk to two crew members close to the tree. He was approximately 55 feet away and spent at least 15 minutes discussing work progress.

The large trunk was being cut down in sections when one rope guided 11-foot segment plummeted from about 25 feet, landed on another log and catapulted into the air hitting Mr. McDermott in the forehead. He fell backwards, striking his head on the sidewalk. Although he made it to the hospital alive, he passed away the day after the accident. McDermott’s widow filed the lawsuit, believing the state to be at fault.

Attorneys appearing for the state of Connecticut suggested that it was purely an accident, an unforeseen event. However, the plaintiff’s attorneys argued that state workers had a duty of care to make certain anyone was a safe distance from the worksite, and not just Mr. McDermott.

Middletown Superior Court initially ruled the accident was indeed foreseeable and thus the state was liable. This verdict resulted in a $1.3 million award to the widow. The state appealed the case, and the decision was overturned at Appellate Court level. The plaintiff’s attorney’s responded with an appeal to the Supreme Court. The Justices will probably be several months in deliberating the salient issues involved.

During the ten-year period that it took to get this case to court, the 65-year-old widow most likely had some financial struggles with related bills. One solution for an individual in this circumstance would be applying for litigation funding.

Litigation funding, or a lawsuit loan is emergency cash advanced to a qualified plaintiff to use while they are waiting for their case’s resolution. While most plaintiffs use the funds they receive to pay for medical, funeral and burial expenses, the pre-settlement funding may also be used to pay other important financial obligations, such as rent or a mortgage, as well as car or student loans.

The only thing a plaintiff needs to do before contacting a litigation funding company is to hire an attorney and make sure the lawyer has all the right documents to proceed with building a case. The lawsuit loan company needs to know case details prior to approving any funding. Any approved funding is sent directly to a plaintiff’s bank account within 48 hours or less.

During Robert McDannell’s attempt to rotate an unsecured, 128-foot-long load with slings attached, a 7,000-pound pipe crashed through the window of his heavy loader,. McDannell, who worked for Precision Pipeline LLC of Louisiana, did not have a protective screen on his excavator cab. As a result, when the load shifted, it came back through the cab window, impaling McDannell.

The statement of claim filed by McDannell’s widow suggested that Precision Pipeline did not conduct a proper job hazard assessment, as the company did not take into consideration the pipe stability, the existing situation or the location of all involved equipment, nor did it assess the danger of swinging a suspended pipe load in front of McDannell’s cab. In not doing so, the suit alleges that the company caused the death of Mr. McDannell.

Just prior to the accident, McDannell and a co-worker had been told to move the pipe from one location to another. However, the task started uphill from two commercial excavators, and the goal was to get around the machinery to get the pipe downhill. The lawsuit alleges the company he worked for knew, or should have known, that there was a high probability the unstable load would come back into the cab when it shifted.

The McDannell family may be interested in knowing about a service referred to as litigation funding. Pre-settlement funding is an emergency lawsuit loan sent to qualified plaintiffs, working with an attorney. The funds help them get back to financially secure footing while they wait for their cases to be resolved.
The plaintiff simply needs to advise the litigation company of the case details, while the attorney needs to add his or her assessment of what damages may be recoverable. Once the application is approved, the lawsuit loan funds are sent directly to the plaintiff’s bank account, by the fastest method possible.

The process usually takes less than 48 hours, and once the litigation funding has arrived, the plaintiff may use it to pay any bills and save some to help with ensuing expenses until they know the outcome of their case. Should the case be lost in court, the plaintiff may keep the pre-settlement funding, with no strings attached.

In one such horrific wrongful death case, Travis Miller, 25, perished in an elevator shaft while working on the Florida State University (FSU) dorm construction site.

The elevator operator had noticed Miller in the window on his way up the outside of the building, and had made a mental note to tell him on the way down that he needed to move. Unfortunately, he never got the chance to warn Miller.

Miller was perched on the ledge of an open window talking to three of his co-workers when an elevator came down. It pulled him into a one-and-a-half inch space between the building and the elevator. The men yelled to the elevator operator to go back up, immediately.

By the time they pulled the young man back through the window, he was dead. An autopsy report confirmed crushing trauma to Miller’s torso. The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is conducting an investigation.

Miller’s family is seeking a least $15 million in their wrongful death lawsuit, alleging the University had a duty to maintain a safe worksite that could have prevented Miller’s death. The suit further alleges that onsite workers were not properly supervised, and that because the site was dangerous, the FSU should have implemented extra safety precautions.

The evidence submitted with the statement of claim showed that the window where Miller sat, and several other windows in the building, had a wedge of plywood in it to avoid this very kind of tragedy. Someone removed those barriers a month prior to the accident, and never replaced them. Apparently the building superintendent was not aware that the plywood had been removed from the windows.

The family was left with the conundrum of how to pay for the extra expense of a funeral and burial, and how they would pay their bills while they waited for their case to go to court. One option they could have considered is applying for litigation funding. A lawsuit loan is fast cash that arrives within a plaintiff’s bank account within 48 hours of being approved for pre-settlement funding.

Once the litigation funding is in place, the family may pay all of their extraordinary expenses and keep their usual monthly financial obligations current. Lawsuit loans are not for everyone, but they are worth checking out to see if the funding they provide can help one hold the line until the case is settled, one way or the other. And, if the case doesn’t win in court? Then there is no need to repay pre-settlement funding, no strings attached.

Although Page was only in three feet of water in the Wisconsin Dells’ Wild WaterDome, several other resort guests discovered him face down in the pool. They were attempting to pull him out of the water when lifeguards arrived and began CPR.

Though emergency responders arrived at the scene within minutes, they were unable to revive the father of two. Page’s family chose to file a wrongful death lawsuit, alleging that resort staff were negligent because they were not properly trained, and did not follow proper safety procedures. The suit seeks loss of earning capacity, pain and suffering, and medical, funeral and burial expenses.

The sudden death of Patrick Page likely posed an enormous shock for the family, emotionally and financially. The loss of the breadwinner created a very difficult financial situation, with two small children left behind needing both care and guidance. The family still had to take care of their usual bills, in addition to funeral and burial expenses.

It is not easy to find several thousand dollars to pay for a funeral and deal with all the other financial matters that crop up when someone dies. The best way to cope with such an enormous burden would be to apply for litigation funding. Litigation funding is an emergency cash loan to a plaintiff who has filed a personal injury lawsuit with the assistance of an attorney.

This pre-settlement funding is a lifesaver for financially strapped plaintiffs, and allows them the peace and time to recover from their ordeal. A lawsuit loan also covers every important bill that needs to be paid – those relating to the father’s death, as well as those usual bills every family has, such as the mortgage, rent or car payments.

Qualified plaintiffs receive their funding within 48 hours or less, provided they have supplied the name of their attorney of record. When insurance companies come calling to ask the plaintiff to settle up as soon as possible, a lawsuit loan allows the family resources to wait until their case receives a fair hearing in court or proceeds to settlement.

This story might have had a different ending, if the restaurant where Kocak died, after temporary revival, had the proper tools on the premises for removing food from airways and had the staff had proper training on how to handle such situations.

In 2011, the Kocak family went out for a meal at Applebee’s restaurant. Kocak left the table to go to the bathroom, but did not come back. When his father went to find him, he found his son unconscious on the bathroom floor. Kocak’s father immediately asked the assistant manager to call 911.

When EMT’s arrived, Kocak was not breathing and had no pulse. Emergency medical personnel removed food from his airway and managed to resuscitate him. He was rushed to hospital where he survived for several days, but ultimately died as a result of lack of oxygen to his brain.

Kocak’s father chose to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the restaurant and the assistant manager, alleging that they did not have the mandatory training to handle a choking nor did they have a device on the premises to remove food from an airway. State law mandates that restaurants with a seating capacity for more than 25 people must be equipped with the proper devices, and that staff must be trained in their use.

The suit also alleges negligence, gross negligence, and conscious pain and suffering, seeking compensation for ambulance invoices, medical expenses, loss of income, loss of companionship, funeral and burial expenses and punitive damages.

According to the statement of claim, the assistant manager did not tell the 911 dispatcher that Kocak had no pulse and was not breathing. Had he relayed that information, the staff may have been able to perform live saving measures to assist the man until EMTs arrived.

The Kocak family may wish to find out more about litigation funding, as a lawsuit loan would help them pay their most pressing expenses immediately. Pre-settlement funding is emergency funding, for a qualified plaintiff, which helps to pay medical and other important bills right away. Typically, the approval process and turnaround time from approval to the release of funds is very short.

The litigation funding company needs to know the details of the case and the name of the attorney of record. Once the case has been assessed for its ability to win in court, funds usually arrive in a plaintiff’s bank account in less than 48 hours. While pre-settlement funding is not for everyone, it is appealing to a great number of cash strapped plaintiffs needing to find the cash to pay all of their bills while they are waiting for their case to be resolved.

In 2009 Mr. Carter changed insurance companies and began seeing Dr. Shelton Barnes at Touros Infirmary. Barnes allegedly did not offer Carter specialized cardiac aftercare, and Carter’s chest pains soon returned. Barnes then referred Carter to another cardiac surgeon, a Dr. Michael B. Jones.

Jones diagnosed Carter with coronary artery disease and recommended surgery, which they booked for September 10, 2013. In the middle of the operation, Mr. Carter sustained a stroke. Carter filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the surgeon, suggesting Jones was negligent and had not adhered to the accepted standard of medical care. The stroke completely incapacitated Carter’s left side and caused him severe pain.

The lawsuit seeks damages for the lack of accepted care and treatment leading up to Carter’s stroke and compensation for loss of society, companionship and consortium for Carter’s wife. Given the number of surgeries and the kind of care that Mr. Carter was receiving, the family’s medical bills would be extremely high. One of the best ways for the Carters to finance their costs would be to apply for litigation funding. A lawsuit loan is emergency funding sent to an approved plaintiff that allows immediate payment of medical bills and funds for the duration of a journey to trial or settlement.

This pre-settlement funding, allows a plaintiff the time to heal and manage financial issues. While the funds, which usually arrive in less than 48 hours, may be used to pay for anything, it is best to take care of medical bills immediately.

Many plaintiffs facing a long road to justice find litigation funding appealing, as it helps to handle day-to-day bills and monthly financial obligations while still allowing a financial cushion in the bank. Plaintiffs also have the security of knowing that if their case does lose in court, repayment of the funds received is unnecessary, with no strings attached.

According to court documents, Hamlisch’s primary doctor may have misdiagnosed him from the beginning. The statement of claim indicates that the physician, Dr. David Cohen, permitted his patient to travel even though he had low blood pressure, chills, weakness, nausea, exhaustion and difficulty breathing. Cohen allegedly attributed the symptoms to back pain, even though Hamlisch had a kidney transplant that appeared to be doing its job.

Although there were conflicting reports about the cause of death, it was ultimately determined he died of lung failure. Court documents suggest that Hamlisch’s sudden death was due to the medical negligence of his doctor. Allegedly, Cohen repeatedly dismissed his symptoms without conducting a physical examination. Further, the argument states that the diagnosis was done while the physician was on vacation and out of the New York Presbyterian Hospital.

The doctor returned to work on July 30, 2014 and discharged his patient, opining that a five-and-a-half hour flight to Los Angeles would be “perfectly safe.” Hamlisch left for Los Angeles on August 1 to score the movie Behind the Candelabra, starring Michael Douglas as Liberace. Although he did arrive in Los Angeles, he collapsed, went into an unrelenting coma and died five days later on August 6.

His family may benefit from applying for a lawsuit loan to tide them over financially until the case is resolved. Litigation funding is available for plaintiffs who are struggling to keep up with usual bills and added financial burdens, such a medical bills and funeral and burial expenses.

Pre-settlement funding is often available fairly rapidly upon application by a plaintiff. All applications are treated with respect and dignity. Litigation funding intake specialists realize the applicant has gone through a lot before coming to them for help. In most cases, funding is approved in less than 48 hours and is sent directly to the plaintiff’s bank account, where he or she may start paying bills and setting funds aside for the long wait to trial or settlement. The plaintiff must have an attorney of record to be eligible for a lawsuit loan.

While pre-settlement funding may not suit every applicant, it is an option many may wish to explore. Serious injuries or death often bring very high bills, and not everyone has the means to source the kind of funding needed to deal with those expenses without help.

In an ectopic pregnancy, a fetus begins to develop somewhere in the mother’s body other than the uterus, typically along the fallopian tubes leading from ovary to uterus. A human fetus cannot survive an ectopic pregnancy, and if not removed surgically, the improperly implanted tissue can threaten the mother’s life.

Despite Galette’s post-surgery complaints of fever, an erratic heart rate and severe pain, she was sent home. Three days later, she was admitted to intensive care and remained there for 73 days.

Galette filed a medical negligence lawsuit alleging that her surgeon perforated her intestine, which led to the development of gangrene, infection and blood poisoning, which in turn cost her her limbs and some of her hearing. Her lawsuit further claimed that the hospital’s doctors and staff deviated from the accepted standard of medical care. 

At trial, the named defendants suggested the intestine puncture was the result of a pre-existing bowel condition and that, even if they had perforated it, it was a known risk and therefore not malpractice. They stated the plaintiff was lucky to be alive, thanks to their ability to perform the other surgeries.

But the jury found for the plaintiff and awarded her $62 million: $4 million for medical bills, $20 million for past pain and suffering and $38 million for future pain and care.

Waiting for this case to get to court could have caused Galette some serious financial difficulties. She may have benefited from applying for an emergency lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company. Lawsuit loans are sent to an approved applicant quickly, allowing him or her to take care of all financial obligations, including usual monthly bills.

Pre-settlement funding is not for everyone, but in many cases, it can offer the financial help a plaintiff needs to wait for the resolution of his or her case.

According to court documents filed by a 52-year-old New York man, the injection he received before an MRI he had in late September 2010 sparked a serious hip infection. By the end of the month, he checked back into hospital with unrelenting pain. A culture revealed a serious bacterial infection.

The plaintiff, a construction worker, met with an orthopedic surgeon who sent him home without any further treatment, despite lab results indicating a virulent bacterial infection needing immediate treatment. Two days later, the man had to be rushed back to the hospital, where doctors discovered that the untreated infection had damaged his hip badly enough that he required a hip replacement. 

He was no longer able to work at his job, and his other previously enjoyed activities were limited.

The man chose to file a medical malpractice lawsuit seeking compensation for his injuries and asking the court to hold the surgeon who did not treat his infection responsible for his unnecessary hip replacement surgery. The jury found for the plaintiff, awarding him $2.3 million.

Before the award, the plaintiff may have been in a difficult situation financially, as he was no longer able to work in construction. Even with savings on hand, he would not have been able to pay the medical bills amassed as a result of his hospital visits and surgery. One solution that may have assisted him in dealing confidently with his financial obligations would have been to fill out an online application form for litigation funding.

Litigation funding, also called pre-settlement funding, offers plaintiffs cash that arrives in less than 48 hours. The amount the applicant receives is usually predicated based on what the attorney of record suggests that a jury may award. 

The plaintiff can also call and apply for a lawsuit loan. All that is required is the name of the plaintiff’s lawyer and the case details. Once the application has been approved, funds are transferred expeditiously to help the plaintiff deal with all expenses and to give him or her the peace of ignoring insurance companies wanting a quick, fast and cheap settlement.

Drs. Frank Culicchia and Justin Owen informed Riche’s husband that she had a brain aneurysm and needed surgery. The day after her operation, she became violently ill. Within a few days, her symptoms had progressed further to include offensive smelling fluids that oozed from her body, with the exudates eventually becoming dark and bloody.

By May 17, 2008, Riche had been declared septic. She died May 18, 2008. 

Her husband filed a medical negligence lawsuit for her wrongful death, for loss of love and affection, for loss of the chance of survival or recovery and for pain and suffering.

Riche may have been interested to know that he could have helped pay his wife’s medical and other bills by applying for litigation funding. Pre-settlement funding, also called a lawsuit loan, is emergency funding sent to a qualified plaintiff within 24 to 48 hours after their application for assistance is approved.

Plaintiffs waiting for cases to go to settlement or trial are pleased to discover that they do not need to deal with any insurance companies making them lower offers. They have enough cash on hand in the bank to assist them in paying all of their medical, usual and important expenses. They only need to focus on healing from the loss of their loved one.

While a lawsuit loan is not the perfect solution for everyone, many find the benefits — no requirement to be working on applying and no-strings-attached retention of the funds should they lose their case in court — to be worth pursuing.

Ortega never saw her ultrasound results, and she was sent to a general surgeon. The doctor informed her about the cyst but did not mention the lesions. She was advised to call if there were any changes to report.

In 2012, Ortega did notice changes and attempted to contact the surgeon, Dr. Marc Adajar. Her symptoms appeared to be consistent with the presence of cancer, yet the surgeon did not mention the possibility and said the changes were the result of an infection. Ortega was slated for surgery in July 2012 to take care of the cyst.

During the operation to remove the cyst, Dr. Adajar could not find one; he instead discovered a Stage IV mass that had metastasized to her lungs. The mass was so large that it could not be removed in its entirety.  

After the surgery, Ortega chose to file a medical malpractice lawsuit, naming the radiologist and surgeon for failure to diagnose cancer. The $2.7 million settlement was completed in April 2014. If the surgeon had properly diagnosed the lesions and cyst/lump in 2011, the plaintiff may have only been a Stage II breast cancer patient and in a state far easier to treat.

Waiting for a trial is nerve-wracking and expensive. Bills still need to be paid, and cancer treatment is notoriously expensive. What can a family short of cash do to deal with all of their financial obligations? 

The best resolution is often to apply for a lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company. Pre-settlement funding is money given in advance of a settlement or trial that can be used to pay necessary and important bills such as the ones for medical care, mortgages, student loans, utilities and rent.

While pre-settlement funding may be used for anything, it is wise to pay the pressing bills and save the rest. 

Litigation funding is not for everyone, but many find its benefits very appealing: no credit checks, no fees to apply, no monthly fees and the ability to keep the funding, with no strings attached, if the case is lost in court.

Court documents suggest that Dr. Rachel Tollefsrud told the parents to keep a watchful eye on the lump, but not to worry about it. Inexplicably, documentation relating to the lump did not appear in the child’s medical file until she was a year old. By then, several other doctors had diagnosed the lump as cancerous. The child died in July 2013.

During the trial, the doctor commented that the Dickhoff child was the first she had treated with cancer — and because of that, she is now more aware of such anomalies when they appear. In her defense, she argued that she provided the child with the accepted standard of care, did not do anything wrong and wished she could have acted sooner. 

The outcome of the case may have interesting legal ramifications. In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a judgment that allows a family or patient to ask the court for damages if a doctor’s medical negligence results in a reduction of an individual’s chances of recovery or survival.

The Dickhoff family faced enormous medical bills as they cared for their daughter until her death. They may have been in a precarious financial situation and unable to handle all their usual financial obligations with the medical costs for their child. One solution may have been for them to seek litigation funding, also called a lawsuit loan. 

Pre-settlement funding is approved and send within 48 hours for qualified plaintiffs, provided that their case meets certain criteria and that they are working with an attorney of record.

There are many benefits for plaintiffs when they apply for litigation funding. They do not have to entertain any insurance company offers to settle and do not need to have a job when they apply. There are no credit checks, no fees to apply, no monthly fees and, should the case lose in court, the lawsuit loan funds are the plaintiffs to keep, no strings attached.

The child was diagnosed with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in 2009, when he was just four months old. He was taken from Onslow Memorial Hospital to Greenville, where the physician on duty and the transport team were allegedly medically negligent in ensuring he received the amount of oxygen he needed during the trip and in the E.R. upon arrival.

The breathing tube they were using was not working. On arrival at the hospital, medical personnel tried to intubate the baby twice while he went without enough oxygen for ten minutes. As a result, he sustained preventable brain damage and permanent physical disabilities.

His family would be reeling under the weight of the expenses for their son’s ongoing medical care. Finding the funds to pay those bills would be difficult, if not impossible, and they would still need to stay current with their other usual expenses. A family in such a situation might apply for litigation funding (also referred to as a lawsuit loan). Litigation funding is emergency funding advanced to a qualified plaintiff that allows him or her to pay outstanding bills while waiting for the case to be settled or go to trial.

A lawsuit loan is pre-settlement funding that allows a plaintiff the peace of mind to focus on healing and caring for their family members. Once an application has been approved, the cash arrives by wire within 48 hours. Plaintiffs may then take care of their everyday business, knowing they have a way to pay their debts — one less worry for stressed plaintiffs facing financial ruin.

Upon her arrival at the hospital, ER doctors gave her pain medications. Suddenly, she became unresponsive and slipped into respiratory distress. It is alleged she was given an overdose of medication.

The woman was rushed to the critical care unit after the attending doctor gave her an injection of a different medication to reverse the effects of the first drug. The second injection did not rectify the situation.

After returning home, the woman and her spouse filed a medical negligence lawsuit seeking compensation for medical malpractice, loss of companionship, hospital bills and court costs.

Medical malpractice lawsuits take a long time to resolve, and they usually involve medical expert witnesses. These witnesses are a necessity, but they can be very expensive to work with. Any family would find it difficult to keep up with all of their bills while attempting to pay new medical bills. One solution might be to apply for a lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company.

Application for pre-settlement funding requires a plaintiff to be working with a lawyer on a case that has a good chance of winning in court. The applicant does not need a credit check and does not need to be working at the time of applying for litigation funding. Once the case has been assessed, funds are wired directly to the plaintiff’s bank account within 24–48-hours. Pre-settlement funding is intended for immediate use to pay medical bills and remain current with other important expenses. However, lawsuit loans are not for everyone, so discuss your needs with a litigation-funding representative.

The multi-million dollar lawsuit claims that doctors did not recognize or respond to the plaintiff’s labor struggles in a timely manner. The suit also alleges that once in surgery, the C-section incision was delayed for an unreasonable amount of time, exacerbating an already precarious situation.
The child was stillborn. Even though life-saving attempts commenced, a long period of time passed between his birth and attempted resuscitation. The child was oxygen deprived for 14 minutes and sustained catastrophic brain damage that will require permanent lifetime care. The lawsuit seeks $40 million in compensation.

This is not the first lawsuit the Oregon hospital has faced; in fact, it is the third suit alleging medical negligence in relation to birth. The other two families are also suing the hospital, doctors and staff for $40 million.

Any family is faced with enormous expenses in caring for a disabled child. Until they are able to settle their claim or until a jury awards them funds to care for their son, they will need to pay their monthly financial obligations, including the high medical bills the lawsuit will, in part, address. This is difficult without financial help. The family may wish to apply for litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding. It is easy to apply for a lawsuit loan by calling a litigation funding company or filling out an online application.

Lawsuit funding is emergency cash sent to a financially struggling plaintiff to pay their bills right away. Approved applicants do not need to deal with insurance companies; pre-settlement funding covers all of their financial requirements until case resolution.

The three lawsuits have been filed on behalf of Alexander Seals and his two young children, all of whom were killed in the blaze. The complaints allege that their landlord, Delores Shamblen, neglected to fix persistent electrical issues in the home. According to the suits, she did not properly install, maintain or inspect any smoke alarms in the residence, despite being told about the problems.

Fire investigators were unable to pinpoint the cause of the inferno, but they did state that the house did not have enough operational smoke detectors for its size. They also traced the origin of the fire to a home entertainment center and discovered, thanks to a tracking dog trained to detect ignition sources, the remains of a candle-holder.

The plaintiffs are suing for punitive damages and compensation for all injuries, as well as for funeral and burial expenses.

The funeral and burial expenses in this case could be overwhelming. How will surviving family members be able to pay them? A lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company may be one source of financial support. Pre-settlement funding is sent directly to qualified plaintiffs; the cash allows them to pay important bills right away and keep current with monthly financial obligations.

To qualify for litigation funding, the plaintiff needs to be represented by an attorney. The plaintiff can then fill out an online application form for a lawsuit loan or call and complete an application over the phone. Obtaining litigation funding is a user-friendly process, allowing plaintiffs the dignity and peace of support when they need it most. Applicants are usually pleased to know that, in applying for pre-settlement funding, they do not need to deal with any insurance companies attempting to reduce or deny their claims.

In what may be one of the largest jury awards of its kind, a New York man was handed $9.1 million for his medical malpractice lawsuit against his former doctor. The story in this case is that Donald Schultz once held a job as a public safety dispatcher. He broke his ankle 10 years ago while at work, which led to bizarre complications and the loss of a leg.
Schultz’s award included $350,000 to his ex-wife for loss of services, $4 million for future pain and suffering, $2.8 million for past, current and future medical expenses and loss of wages, and $2 million for past pain and suffering.

In 2004, Schultz was on his way to his job and fell on some steps, breaking his ankle. He was initially treated at an orthopedic surgeon’s office. This individual and his surgical group were found not liable in this case. The plaintiff did not remain with the first doctor and began seeing another physician in 2005 about concerns with pain he experienced near the little toe of his injured foot/ankle. It turned out he had a rare nerve disorder arising from the fractured ankle.

The second doctor began a series of what would be 21 different surgeries. The first operation was on his little toe. It was subsequently amputated. Schultz’s amputation site developed an infection. This led to the amputation of his fourth toe, but the pain remained, unabated. His leg was then amputated below the knee in 2009. Another surgeon eventually amputated the rest of his appendage. Twelve surgeries later, Mr. Schultz had one leg left and he was not able to work after 2009.

Mr. Schultz may have been able to keep up with his spiraling medical bills by applying for pre-settlement funding from a litigation funding company. He would only have needed to fill out an application online or call the lawsuit loan company and provide them with the name of his lawyer and the details of his case.

Once he’d received approval, the funds would have been deposited into his account, allowing him to meet his ongoing expenses while waiting for a trial verdict. By applying for an emergency lawsuit loan, he would also be able to turn down any offers made by an insurance company to settle for less than what he would likely be entitled to in court trial. Plaintiffs applying for pre-settlement funding do not need to have a job; they are not put through credit checks and do not pay any funds up front, or monthly, for applying for litigation funding.

Houston teen Max Menchaca was enjoying a day out at a local trampoline park when he fell through a torn canvas in June 2013. He now suffers seizures as a result of sustaining traumatic brain injury after his fall.

The teen’s parents filed a personal injury lawsuit against National Trampoline Entertainment Centers and National Trampoline Entertainment Dallas, II, d/b/a “Cosmic Jump.” The suit requests damages to cover his past, current and future medical expenses, and compensation for his loss of future earnings. The family wanted to file this lawsuit to make a point that trampoline park injuries are on the rise and that, if the parks are not properly maintained, there is the potential for users to face life-altering injuries or death.

According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, there were over 94,900 emergency room visits as a result of injuries associated with trampolines. The figures are so alarming that the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly suggests not using a trampoline due to the potential for very serious injuries or death.

Menchaca’s head trauma was the result of falling into an unprotected area under the trampoline platform. The lawsuit states that the injuries were allegedly directly caused by the park negligently permitting dangerous conditions on their premises, and that the park had a duty to warn people and to provide a safe environment. California, Utah, Arizona and Michigan have new rules in place to address this safety concern. Texas does not have such rules.

How would the family pay their son’s medical bills? How would they pay for his rehabilitation or his medications? Their expenses would be enormous. The virtually ideal solution, should it suit their circumstances, would be to fill out an application for litigation funding. Pre-settlement funding is an emergency lawsuit loan, approved for qualified plaintiffs who are working with a lawyer on their case. The funds, once they are approved, are wired directly to a plaintiff’s bank account as fast as possible, which usually means within two days or less.

When funds arrive, most plaintiffs immediately take care of their medical expenses and then keep enough back to stay current on their other financial obligations, such as mortgage payments, student loans or rent. A litigation funding company completely understands the trauma a plaintiff has gone through prior to calling them. All potential applicants are treated with respect and dignity.

In 2005, a jury found that the company acted with “reckless disregard” in taking action to deal with reported acceleration issues in their Camrys. In 2013, Toyota massed its resources to finance a major settlement a mere 60 days after an Oklahoma jury found the e-throttle system in Toyota’s Camry to be defective.

The cars involved in the claims suddenly accelerated without warning or apparent cause. Many of their drivers, unable to control the runaway vehicles, crashed, suffered serious injuries or died. A number of lawsuits were pending in California until a judge put them on hold (as the company and its lawyers made attempts to settle them).

The first of more than 200 lawsuits was slated for court in March 2014. The suits remained in place in spite of the fact that first three cases were resolved in favor of the defendant (Toyota).

However, when the company lost its 2013 Oklahoma case, circumstances changed. Toyota could lose a substantial amount of money if the remainder of the 200 cases proceeded to trial losses, so the company recently decided to negotiate settlements.

These settlement developments represent good news for the hundreds of plaintiffs involved in talks and lawsuits with Toyota, but those plaintiffs are still struggling to keep current with their overwhelming medical bills. How are those individuals going to pay bills on time as they wait for a resolution? Many of them may find that litigation funding offers the perfect option. A lawsuit loan is often a major benefit to plaintiffs who, once approved, find virtually instant funds that allow them to stay out of debt.

Plaintiffs are not required to go through a credit check, do not need to be working when they apply, do not make any payments up front/monthly and do not have to take any settlements from insurance companies. Should their cases lose in court, they are also eligible to keep any lawsuit loan monies advanced to them. There are no strings attached. While pre-settlement funding is not for everyone, it appeals to many caught between a rock and a hard place. Often, the emergency lawsuit loan is a perfect solution for a cash-poor plaintiff facing regular bills and unexpected medical expenses.

Blevins, a banker, needed knee surgery and undewent the necessary procedures at Coastal Surgical Institute in San Luis Obispo. He was assured that the needed repairs would not take long and that he would be home in no time. The arthroscopic surgery went well, but a few days later, he began to experience severe pain in his right knee and to run a fever. The local hospital determined that he had a serious deep tissue infection, and the attending physician prescribed antibiotics.

In October 2010, a month after his knee operation, the surgical center tendered Belvin a check. Later, in court, Belvins stated that the money was in partial payment of his extra costs as a result of the negligence in his treatment. Coastal Surgical, the defendant, stated that the money represented a complete settlement of any claims Blevins may have had against it.

In December 2012, a judge found that the medical center’s negligence was a determining factor in the plaintiff’s severe infection and awarded him $543,034 for lost wages, past and future medical bills and past and future pain and suffering. The finding was based on trial evidence that the equipment used during the plaintiff’s surgery was contaminated with bacteria. The defendant stated that a disinfecting sponge was to blame for the infection, and that they had stopped using that product immediately.

It took more than three years to resolve Belvins’ case in court. Though he remained gainfully employed during that time, Blevins may have struggled to pay the large medical bills for his extended, painful recovery after further, numerous operations, including a full knee replacement. Based on his circumstances, he may have been able to use litigation funding to subsidize his expenses while he waited for his case to go to court.

Pre-settlement funding is an excellent resource for those facing long legal battles for justice. A plaintiff only has to hire an attorney and file an application online (or call a litigation funding company and speak to one of its representatives) to qualify for a lawsuit loan. Once an application has been reviewed and approved, the fast cash lawsuit loan is sent to the plaintiff’s bank account. Plaintiffs may use the money for any need, although most pay medical bills and retain what cash they can to ensure they are financially secure during the wait for their case resolution. Litigation funding offers a major support for cash-strapped plaintiffs, and many find the benefits very appealing.

The girl’s mother has filed a lawsuit against the teacher and others. The named defendants include the former school principal, Victor Nash, along with two teachers, Katrina Burnside and Nichole Hines.

The young victim was in the first grade when the incident took place in May of 2010. Allegedly, classmates severely beat the young girl while their teacher looked on. She was beaten so badly that she still requires ongoing inpatient mental health assistance and has difficulty dealing with the trauma.

Evidently, the victim had always struggled with cognitive issues and mental retardation. Her school’s environment was known to be hostile to children with behavioral issues. If a child did not understand something and/or misbehaved, he or she needed violent physical “discipline” to learn the lesson.

The young girl was trapped in a classroom of students with adult teachers who regularly incited other children to “discipline” such pupils. The evidence at trial targeted Nicohle Hines as the worst offender.

The school itself has been closed, and its teachers have been transferred to other locations. In the wake of this incident, it appears that neither Hines nor Burnside have been offered continued employment.

The mother’s lawsuit will eventually make its way through the courts. In the meantime, she will face ongoing medical expenses for rehabilitative therapies to help her daughter cope with mental anguish. This could prove a huge financial burden for the family, forcing them search for enough money to pay for regular expenses in addition to their medical bills.

Families with young children and/or children with disabilities are often pushed to their financial limits in ordinary circumstances. The added expense of mental health counselling could make their financial picture very bleak.

Such a family may wish to investigate litigation funding (also called pre-settlement funding or lawsuit cash advances). Litigation funding offer money to cash-strapped plaintiffs, allowing them to take care of their pressing bills. The relief of that burden lets them move forward with their lives and wait the necessary time that their case needs for resolution.

While a lawsuit cash advance is not for every plaintiff, many may find it an appealing option. The biggest benefit? Should a qualified plaintiff lose his or her case in court, he or she keeps the litigation funding, no strings attached.

Plaintiffs may wish to explore litigation funding among their options. It could well prove a saving grace in a difficult financial situation.

Fairgoers were happily roaming the grounds, daring one another to get on various rides. Among them, the “Vortex” was the most popular and the most “thrilling.” Late one evening, as several riders were dismounting with the assistance of a ride attendant, the Vortex started up again. The ride’s safety switch did not engage properly, and five people were injured as the ride began to move.

No one is certain exactly why the carnival ride sprang to life while the riders were dismounting.

Two individuals were seriously injured. Three sustained less serious wounds. The emergency response team arrived quickly and transported all five victims to the nearest medical facility. The injured riders ranged in age from 14 to 39. Eyewitnesses and those hurt expressed gratitude that the ride, at least, had not been upside down or in mid-flip when it malfunctioned.

Word went out that the North Carolina Labor Department would send a team of investigators to determine what went wrong. A malfunctioning or defective safety switch could have been to blame, so the switch was replaced and the ride reopened for business after testing.

Despite the malfunction, fair officials stressed that this incident is an isolated one and that safety is their first concern for patrons.

After such an incident, an investigation should closely examine any suspicion of negligence. If the carnival operator negligently maintained the ride or failed to inspect it (and its safety switch) regularly, the injured parties would have cause to file personal injury lawsuits. If the switch was defective, then the maker of that part of the ride would be named in a possible lawsuit along with the carnival company owners.

The two individuals with serious injuries will face enormous hospital bills. If their injuries alter their normal lifestyles, they may be unable to work, have to revamp their homes or require 24-hour care, medications and therapy. How will they pay their bills?

If they choose to hire a personal injury lawyer, they will be able to apply (online or by phone) to a litigation funding company for a lawsuit cash advance. Plaintiffs in sticky financial situations often struggle to pay their regular and extraordinary bills incurred from circumstances beyond their control. Pre-settlement funding can be a lifesaver.

Applicants for lawsuit loans do not have to have a job, go through any form of credit check, pay anything upfront or make monthly payments.

The injured party simply explains the nature of the case, provides the litigation funding representative with the name of his or her lawyer and waits for the application to be approved. It does not take long. Once approval is received, the lawsuit cash advance is sent directly to the victim’s bank account, to be used as he or she sees fit.

Litigation funding is not for everyone, but it is worth investigating if you face large medical bills you have no hope of paying while you wait for your lawsuit to be resolved.

Negligence comes in many forms. In this instance, it caused the death of a 22-year-old man one morning in September 2011. Christopher Grouix loved his job as a carpentry apprentice, and every morning, he looked forward to what he would learn that day. But Grouix never made it to work; he rear-ended a John Deere logging truck and was pronounced dead at the scene. His parents chose to sue the truck’s owner and the trucker behind the wheel at the time of the crash. The driver pled guilty to a moving violation and served six months in jail.

At trial, the plaintiff’s wrongful death attorney argued that the young man could not have seen the logging truck because the vehicle did not have the mandatory lights required by law. The defendant’s lawyer argued that the accident was really Grouix’s fault: he was not paying attention to what he was doing, fell asleep at the wheel or was texting or talking on his cell phone.

The defense offered as evidence the fact that the young man had been to a concert the night before and had not arrived home until 1:00 a.m. Moreover, his cell phone was located close to the crash site. The plaintiff’s attorney responded that the young man carried his phone in his pocket and that it had remained there on the drive before the accident.

In the final analysis, the jury awarded Grouix’s parents $1.5 million. The sum included economic damages, including funeral and burial costs, the loss of their son’s income to support the household and $500,000 for pain and suffering.

Families faced with such situations often find themselves scrambling to find the funds for all their necessary expenses and for those incurred as a result of the death of their loved one. It is difficult enough to deal with such a catastrophic loss without trying pay usual living expenses.

Litigation funding may have been a good solution for Grouix’s family. Such funding could have assisted them in paying bills while they mourned and waited for the case to be resolved. A lawsuit cash advance can provide enormous relief for those facing unexpected bills with no way to pay them. These advances allow a family time to heal while they pay the medical expenses and other important bills that must be paid.

Pre-settlement funding is not for everyone, but a lawsuit cash advance can benefit many plaintiffs. It is an option worth exploring. There are no credit checks, no upfront fees or monthly fees and the applicant does not need to be employed. Lawsuit loans often make the difference between a family’s financial struggle and their comfort, offering the funds to handle challenges that appear while their case is making its way through court.

One May morning in 2009, Tracey Parker of Florida was driving her Chevy Cobalt down I95. One of her tires came off its rim, and she lost control of her car. Her vehicle flipped three times and landed on the highway median. Parker was 39 years old at the time of the accident, a wife and mother to three young boys. She was not expected to survive her injuries.

Her coma lasted a month, but remarkably, Parker did survive. After 17 operations and more than three months in the hospital, she went home with a $1.5 million medical bill. Even at home, she was in constant pain; some of her broken bones never healed properly. Her whole life was turned inside out, and she will never be the same person she was before the crash. Parker and her husband decided to sue Continental Tire, the fourth largest tire manufacturer worldwide, over the defective tire that contributed to the accident.

At trial, the plaintiffs alleged that the tire on the Cobalt was defective when it left the plant. The tire was four years old, had no inspection sticker and had 20,000 miles of tread remaining on the day of the accident. It was obvious, the Parkers’ lawyer argued, that the tire had missed inspection. The defendant’s attorney suggested that the crash was Tracey Parker’s fault because she had not properly inflated her tires, and that the resulting uneven tires made her lose control of the vehicle. The case may not have gone to trial had the tire company taken the Parkers’ pre-trial offer to settle for $800,000. They declined, and eventually faced a jury award of $10 million.

With such high medical bills, the Parkers would have been left in an extremely difficult financial position as they tried to continue paying their regular and usual expenses. Without applying for a lawsuit loan, few would have access to the funds they would need. Lawsuit loans (also called pre-settlement loans or litigation funding) help plaintiffs cope with their suddenly enormous expenses. Those applying for a lawsuit cash advance need only hire an attorney to represent them and fill out an online application with a litigation funding company (or call them directly for more information).

Approved plaintiffs usually receive their cash advances within 48 hours. The funds are sent directly to the plaintiff’s bank account, and are typically used to pay medical bills and maintain usual expenses. Approval is based on the case’s predicted strength in court. If, for some reason, the plaintiff loses the case, he or she is able to keep the lawsuit loan funds, no strings attached. Litigation funding can help plaintiffs and their families maintain order in their lives as they wait for their case to be resolved.

The settlement in this lawsuit is one of the largest recorded in Illinois, at $3 million for the failure of a doctor to diagnose ovarian cancer in a 49-year-old lesbian. The woman and her partner filed the lawsuit alleging the radiologist at a Chicago hospital identified a complex cyst while completing an ultrasound. The results were sent to the woman’s doctor, with the recommendation that follow-up scans be done within 12 weeks. The follow-up scans were never ordered.

Fourteen months later, the woman was diagnosed with Stage IIIC, small cell cancer. If her doctor had ordered follow-up scans, her initially treatable Stage I tumor would not have grown into a non-curable, untreatable mass. By the time a diagnosis was made, the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes and other organs. She required extensive chemotherapy and aggressive resection surgery. Her survival rate, despite the fact that she is in remission, has diminished significantly, due to the failure to diagnose her cancer earlier.

The attorney for the woman initially filed for just the plaintiff, but amended the filing to include the woman’s partner of 20-years. The pair is married and the partner is entitled to the same benefits other married couples may enjoy under Illinois law.

The couple face daunting medical bills. How would they pay them? One of the things they could have considered was filling out an application to apply for litigation funding. Once approved, they would be eligible for an emergency cash loan to help them with their medical expenses and also provide assistance in handling their day-to-day living expenses.

Pre-settlement funding is not ideal for everyone, but many plaintiffs find the benefits of a lawsuit loan to be very attractive. They do not need to have a job when they apply, are not subjected to a credit check, do not make upfront payments or monthly payments and should their case be lost in court, they get to keep the lawsuit cash advance with no strings attached.

One other major benefit that appeals to victims is that they do not need to deal with insurance companies who want them to settle as fast as they can, and take a lower amount of money than they are likely entitled to from the courts. They can refuse their offers and just wait until their case is settled, or heard in court. They need time to heal, not try and cope with insurance agents who want to close the case as fast as they can. Litigation funding is a very viable alternative if you have a cash crunch situation and need money to survive until your case is wrapped up.

The Green family of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina was awarded $2.85 million in a medical malpractice case where a surgeon re-routed Randy Green from a pre-operative waiting area to get a CAT scan, even though Green’s vital signs were not stable.

Green sustained severe injuries in a car accident in 2004, including severed arteries. He was taken to the hospital for surgery. While being prepped, the surgeon ordered a CAT scan. The resulting half hour delay, when the man’s blood pressure was 72 over 56 and considered dangerous, sent Green into cardiac and respiratory arrest. He was brought back to life by an E.R. doctor and anesthesiologist. However, by then, a portion of the man’s spinal cord had died, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down.

At trial, even expert medical witnesses on behalf of the surgeon agreed the patient should not have been taken for a CAT scan with a blood pressure reading that low. When the patient had a heart attack, his body went without oxygen for up to eight minutes and 27 seconds. The end result was the jury agreeing that the medical negligence in this case was life-altering and egregious.

The Green family may not have known about litigation funding; an emergency lawsuit cash advance that could have helped them cope financially while waiting for their case to go to trial. Pre-settlement funding is for qualified plaintiffs that apply for a lawsuit loan, after they have hired a lawyer to handle their case. In just minutes, an application may be filled out, online or by phone. Once this is done, the application is reviewed and if approved, the litigation funding is sent directly to the plaintiff’s bank account within 24 to 48 hours.

The funding is most often used by plaintiffs to pay for medical bills, but it is also available for them to pay their recurring financial obligations, such as student loans, car payments, rent or the mortgage. While a plaintiff with pre-settlement funding is waiting for their case to be heard, they may turn down any overtures from insurance companies chasing them to settle quickly and for less cash than they may be awarded in court.

While litigation funding is not necessarily for everyone, it is worth checking out, as it may be just the right kind of lifesaver needed when you need it the most.

A Princeton, Indiana woman reportedly went for her regular dialysis appointment in 2011. She was given a dialysate made by Fresenius Medical Care, Granuflo, used to screen blood during hemodialysis.

Two days later, the woman was found dead in her home. She had apparently suffered a heart attack. Her family filed a wrongful death, defective product lawsuit, suggesting the medical manufacturer deliberately hid the potentially fatal side-effects of the product. It further stated that the deceased and her health care providers were not advised of how dangerous the product could be. The lawsuit is asking $2 million in damages.

Further information presented in court documents indicated Granuflo did not have a proper balance of bicarbonate and sodium acetate, which could lead to a heart attack and metabolic alkalosis. The sodium acetate is used to balance bicarbonate levels in the blood during use with a three-stream dialysis machine.

Evidently, the company was aware of the risk of their product as early as 2004, but did not issue any warnings. Since that time, over 260,000 patients have used Granuflo. It is believed thousands have had serious issues with the sodium bicarbonate and at least 941 people died as a result of using the product.

The company did send a memo to their own clinics in 2011, advising that the product could increase the risk of a heart attack by up to 8 times. The memo was not sent to anyone else, until someone anonymously sent a copy to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2012. It is expected there will be more lawsuits filed against the company.

The deceased’s family faces a long journey to justice. In the meantime, they may struggle to pay their regular bills, in addition to funeral and burial expenses. In order to get ahead on their payments and other important expenses, they might wish to consider applying for a lawsuit loan. Litigation funding is an emergency cash loan that plaintiffs may use to pay their bills.

Pre-settlement funding also allows a plaintiff to turn down any short cash offers an insurance company may attempt to make, hoping they would settle for less than what they would be entitled to in court. Make sure you have hired a lawyer first, then contact a reputable litigation company for assistance. It may be the best call you ever make.

Cases involving the death of young children are especially difficult for everyone, and perhaps no more so than for the city of Montgomery employee who had recently inspected an abandoned facility approximately five months prior to the boy’s death.
The young boy died in 2009, as a result of playing near an air-conditioning unit in an abandoned building on a commercial property. While playing, the young boy came into contact with live wires and was electrocuted. The property had been inspected five months before the boy’s death. Thieves had raided the air-conditioner to steal the copper wiring.

The parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit, naming the worker. The main issue in the case relates to whether or not the worker, who did the inspection onsite, is protected by state law, a law that caps damages in civil suits at $100,000. In this instance, the worker is being sued personally, not as an employee for the city, which may, or may not mean that he is protected by the law.

The electrical worker’s attorney argued in court that the law does protect city workers from damages above the existing cap, and states that in plain and clear language. The original trial court ruled the statutory cap did not apply. The case went on appeal. There is no word on when the Supreme Court intends to hear the appeal.

The boy’s parents likely have massive bills to contend with in addition to their regular expenses, and may be hard-pressed to keep up with all of them in a timely manner. A solution for them to pay those bills would be applying for litigation funding. Pre-settlement funding is an advance lawsuit loan that is sent to approved plaintiff applicants to allow them to get back their financial bearings.

Applying for a lawsuit loan is easy. It may be done online or by phone. There are not upfront payments or monthly payments, no credit checks and no hassles. Many plaintiffs find litigation funding appealing when they have nowhere else to go to get financial help.

If it were not for her alert son, Christiane Wiggins might have died as a result of what she thought was an injection of vitamin B12. Wiggins had called in her prescription to her local pharmacy and it came in the usual container, tucked in a paper bag. The container was even labelled “Cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12).”

While waiting for her son to help her with the injection, she noticed that the liquid in the bottle seemed to be a different color than usual. Additionally, the bottle cap was also a different color. Neither of those things worried her, as drug companies often change their packaging and drug stores often change drug suppliers.

Wiggins’ son took one look at the bottle and asked what was in it. He had medical training and knew that what he was holding in his hand was not vitamin B12, even though the bottle looked the same. The drug he was holding was atropine, used in resuscitating cardiac arrest patients.

The pharmacy had given Wiggins the wrong prescription and had her son not been alert, recognizing that there was a difference in medications, Wiggins could have suffered a heart attack or stroke. She could have died. Her medications came from a military base, which sent its prescriptions to another location to be filled. Someone had not paid attention to what they were doing and gave Wiggins atropine instead of vitamin B12.

Even though Wiggins was lucky enough to catch the mistake before anything happened, this kind of error happens countless times every day in hospitals and by pharmacies. While it could be called an oversight, it is really negligence. Medication errors such as this one can be deadly.

Had the family lost their mother to a pharmacy error, they would likely have spoken to a personal injury, wrongful death/medical malpractice lawyer to obtain justice. Once they hired an attorney, they would be eligible to apply for a lawsuit loan, also referred to as pre-settlement funding. Litigation funding is used by plaintiffs to pay off their outstanding medical bills and keep current with their usual monthly obligations, while waiting for their case to be resolved.

Litigation funding, or a lawsuit cash advance, arrives in a plaintiff’s bank account within 24 to 48 hours after being approved. There are no hoops to jump through to obtain a lawsuit loan and the process may be initiated by making a phone call, or filling out an application online.

In 2009, Burns overdosed on a near fatal mixture of drugs. On arrival in the emergency ward of St. Joseph’s Hospital Health Centre, she was suffering from violent seizures. The ER staff called for an emergency EEG and, over a period of several hours, determined that she had a poor prognosis for survival. The family was asked if they wished to consider withdrawing life support. Given the likelihood that their daughter would not survive her overdose, they agreed to donate her organs.

Just as the operation was beginning, Burns awoke on the table as several surgeons prepared to excise various vital organs. The symptoms of a drug overdose may mimic those of brain damage. But, as was found when a close inspection was made of hospital records, the staff missed clear signs that Burns had not suffered brain damage. A nurse had scraped her toes to test for reflexes; Burns’ toes responded immediately by curling. Patients with irreversible brain damage are not capable of responding to such stimuli.

Further evidence indicated hospital staff also did not test the woman to determine if all the drugs she had ingested had passed out of her system prior to any kind of an operation.
The hospital was fined $6,000 and ordered to conduct an in-depth review of its quality assurance program, which, in light of this case, appeared to be substantially less than up to par. They were also ordered to hire a consulting neurologist to educate staff on how to properly diagnose brain death.

The victim chose not to do anything about the incident, due to severe depression. She committed suicide in 2011. No one in the family sued the hospital. If they had, they might have been interested to know that they did not have to pay for all of their medical bills and other expenses on their own, while waiting for a trial or settlement. They would have been qualified to apply for litigation funding.

Pre-settlement funding is an emergency cash advance, or lawsuit loan, offered to a qualified plaintiff. It assists them in paying off all their financial obligations and allows them to wait for justice without having to deal with greedy insurance companies wanting them to settle quickly for a ridiculously low amount of money.

Police reports indicate that the teen and his passenger were injured when the vehicle they were in rear-ended a Chevy van carrying seven people. The force of the impact flipped the van, killing five of the occupants. The van’s driver and a 15-year-old boy were the only survivors. Despite the teen’s lawyer indication that he would plead not guilty, the boy had reportedly admitted to police he was behind the wheel at the time of the accident. In the front and back seat investigators found several bottles of beer.

The teen was subsequently charged with DUI causing substantial injury or death, plus two misdemeanor charges —- driving without a license and failing to slow down. According to his criminal defense attorney, the teen plans to plead not guilty, as there may be some issue as to whether or not he was driving at the time of the accident. In the meantime, he is being held on $3.5 million bail and is in isolated, protective custody in jail. His attorney indicated that his client was praying for the five people killed in the accident.

Anyone facing the loss of five members is likely utterly devastated. The expense to bury five and pay funeral costs typically is staggering. In order to be able to pay their bills and wait for their wrongful death lawsuit to be resolved, the perfect solution may be to apply for a lawsuit cash advance. Pre-settlement funding is an emergency loan advanced to qualified plaintiffs working with a lawyer that allows them to get out of debt and keep their financial obligations current while waiting for a trial or settlement.

Plaintiffs just need to fill out an application online or by calling a litigation funding company. They do not get put through a credit check, there are no fees to be paid upfront or monthly, the applicant does not need to have a job and if they do lose their case in court, the lawsuit cash advance is theirs to keep, with no strings attached.

A 42-year-old man was in a downtown Seattle bus terminal early one Sunday morning; near the bottom of the escalator, he apparently lost his balance and fell. His shirt was caught in the moving escalator teeth; the fabric of his shirt was slowly tightened until it strangled him.

Eyewitnesses called 911, but no one was able to provide a knife or other sharp instrument which might have helped to cut the man loose. He was deceased by the time paramedics and the police arrived on the scene. The Washington State Department of Labor and Industries then presumably attended the scene to investigate the cause for the gruesome accident.

According to reports, the man might have been drinking prior to the accident; he was spotted walking unsteadily on the escalator and had in his possession a bottle of brandy. Regardless of his state of inebriation, there were maintenance problems with the equipment. In fact, there were numerous known issues that needed to be dealt with in regards to the escalator: ensuring the stop switch worked; fixing demarcation lights; replacing broken teeth; keeping the maintenance journal up-to-date; annual cleaning, and more. These items had been flagged during a safety inspection in December. None of the safety issues were addressed by Metro Transit at the time of the man’s death.

The man’s family may wish to contact a personal injury attorney and find out what they need to do in order to file a wrongful death lawsuit. These suits are often initiated by the deceased’s relatives to ensure nothing like this happens to anyone. In short, the suit would send a message that necessary maintenance must be performed to keep such equipment in good operational order and safe.
The family may face financial difficulties in trying to deal with the man’s funeral and burial expenses and would have a difficult time paying all of their bills. One solution for them would be to apply for lawsuit funding, once they have hired a lawyer. The process for applying for pre-settlement funding is easy and only takes a few minutes, either online or by phone.

A lawsuit cash advance is given to a plaintiff in advance of their case going to settlement or court. Once their application has been approved, the lawsuit loan is sent directly to their bank account, where they may access it to pay pressing bills. Once they have the funding in the bank, they do not need to deal with any insurance companies that would try and get them to settle for less than what they would likely be awarded in court. Litigation funding is often the one best advantage a plaintiff has to level the playing field.

Crestwood residents were shocked to learn that a one-time suburban Chicago water department employee was convicted of lying about mixing cancer-causing well water in with the village’s water supply. The drinking water had been tainted for many years, putting residents at high risk to contract various forms of cancer.

The sense of betrayal amongst the 11,000 residents was palpable while describing how they felt on discovering that their local water department supervisor and police chief was convicted of 11 counts of making false statements to federal environmental officials. Each count carries a maximum 5-year jail sentence. Sentencing is in October.

Evidence in the case indicated that from 1982 to 2008, the tainted water was agitated with expensive, cleaner water from Lake Michigan. In the mid-1980s, state environmental officials warned the Crestwood water administration that cancer-causing chemicals were leaching into their well.

As it turned out, the motive seems to have been garnering points with local voters by offering low water rates, proving their knew how to manage money. They saved Crestwood $400,000 each year by using tainted well water.

The debacle and subsequent criminal charges laid in the matter left residents frightened for their health. The woman who started the investigation said she suspected her daughter’s brain tumor was the result of the town water.
Many residents may wish to pursue their legal options by hiring a personal injury attorney and filing a lawsuit. Suits such as this one take a long time to get to trial, due to the length of time required to gather all the pertinent evidence.

In the meantime, many villagers will need to deal with regular bills and any medical expenses that arise as a result of drinking contaminated water. Those residents may want to do some research on the viability of applying for pre-settlement funding from a lawsuit loan company.

Litigation funding is given to an approved plaintiff within 24-48 hours of approval of their attorney managed lawsuit. Plaintiffs do not need to be employed when they apply, do not need a credit check, do not pay any money up front and may keep the lawsuit cash advance if they lose their case in court.

This is a baffling wrongful death case, in which a 41-year-old man fell to his death while cleaning a running meat blender.

The equipment had an emergency switch; a co-worker rushed to turn the machine off, but the accident proved fatal. The autopsy indicated he died of blunt-force trauma and chopping wounds.

The Interstate Meat Distributors plant in Oregon had, just prior to this man’s death, been cited for serious safety violations relating to some of the equipment in the plant. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) indicated that safety at Interstate Meat was lax.

As a result of this fatal accident, the OSHA launched an investigation into the overall operation of the plant and the circumstances surrounding the worker’s wrongful death. OSHA officials suggested to the media that until the investigation was completed, they did not know for sure if there was a direct link between safety violations and the man’s death.

Plant management offered to fully cooperate with all investigations while continuing to operate the business. The results of any inquiries into the death will not bring the man back, and his family may wish to file a wrongful death lawsuit. On the face of the evidence relating to the lack of proper safety procedures, a wrongful death attorney could take the matter to settlement or court.

In the meantime, the family faces financial needs relating to their loved one’s sudden death. The best solution for them to pay all the bills would be to apply for litigation funding. It is easily applied for by going online or calling a lawsuit loan company.

Pre-settlement funding is a cash advance given to approved plaintiffs before their case is settled or goes to court. They may do what they wish with the money, but are encouraged to pay their bills and all expenses relating to a funeral and burial for their loved one. The remainder of the lawsuit loan can stay tucked in the bank while the plaintiffs take time to heal while waiting for justice.

Though it is too early to tell, this may be a case where safety protocols were not explained properly or not adhered to while the worker was cleaning out a pen.

The records on this sudden death indicate that a five-year-old male lion was able to raise the door of a partially closed feeding cage with his paw, and approached the 24-year-old female worker cleaning the bigger cage area where the lion was regularly kept. There is speculation that the 550-pound lion was attempting to play with her, not maul her, but when he lunged to engage the women, he broke her neck. Death was instantaneous according to the coroner. Any further injuries sustained, such as scratches and claw marks, were post-mortem.

The investigation launched likely has been focused on the safety of the gate and how the animal was able to raise the heavy cage door to reach the woman working in his main pen. Apparently, he had been fed first in the smaller cage, and the woman then moved into the main enclosure to clean his pen out. The woman had only been working at the animal park facility for two months, which raises the question: Was she was properly indoctrinated with regard to safety procedures when working with big cats?

While she was talking on her cell phone to another work colleague, the call was abruptly terminated, which concerned the other worker. The worker called for help and went to look for the young woman. She was found with the lion standing over her.

Her family is understandably shocked and deeply saddened by this tragic death, but may nonetheless consider filing a wrongful death lawsuit, not so much to get any compensation, but to ensure nothing like this happens to anyone else.

While waiting for trial or settlement, the family will need to still pay their regular bills and any expenses related to their daughter’s death. It would likely be financially difficult for them to accomplish and having extra cash on hand would be a welcome relief. They might wish to consider applying for a lawsuit loan. Pre-settlement funding is a cash advance, referred to as a Dexterous lion opens gate, kills animal park worker first appeared on SEONewsWire.net.]]> http://www.seonewswire.net/2013/05/murder-or-wrongful-death-an-attorneys-unexplained-demise-raises-questions/ Thu, 09 May 2013 15:51:14 +0000 http://www.seonewswire.net/2013/05/murder-or-wrongful-death-an-attorneys-unexplained-demise-raises-questions/ No one could explain the death of a New Mexico attorney, found in her garage. Officials, at first, deemed it a suicide. Two years ago, a New Mexico civil rights lawyer was found dead in her garage. At the time,…

The 23-year-old man behind the wheel of his 2011 Toyota RAV4 was under the influence of drugs when he slammed head-on into a man on a bicycle before ramming into five other vehicles parked on the street. Speeding appears to have played a role in this fatal accident, but a blood test proved the driver was also high on drugs in this hit-and-run accident. He was apprehended and charged with murder by motor vehicle and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The shocking fact about this case is that this accident happened hours after the same driver caused a three vehicle pile-up on a local highway. The DUI driver was arrested and charged, but for some unknown reason was released hours later, without posting bail. Addicted to heroin, he went for another hit to stay high, a decision that cost an innocent man his life.

The victim was a father of nine kids. It goes without saying that the family was most likely in a serious emotional and financial crisis after the accident. They may wish to speak to a wrongful death attorney to learn their rights and how to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If they are in need of immediate cash to meet their ongoing financial obligations while waiting for a settlement or verdict, a perfect solution could be litigation funding.

While waiting for a case to go to court, the family must pay their monthly bills, which would be quite high with nine children. On top of those expenses are the mortgage payments, tuition, utilities and other bills. Litigation funding, also referred to as a lawsuit loan, would help this family get and stay out of debt.

Pre-settlement funding is given to a qualified plaintiff in advance of the resolution of their case. In order to apply for a lawsuit cash advance, the plaintiff must have legal counsel working for them. Once their application is filled out online or by phone, the case is assessed and funding is allocated fast, usually within 24 to 48 hours. Lawsuit funding may be the best solution in this case, but it may not be for everyone.

With a legal funding company, you are treated with respect and dignity, as the folks that deal with lawsuit cash advances understand how much you have already been through. Contact us today and see if our services are a good fit for your situation.

A suspected shoplifter was chased out of a California Walmart by undercover store security guards and apprehended in the parking lot an estimated $500 worth of stolen goods on her.

When police arrived on the scene, the individual was in restraints and appeared to be having medical issues. EMS crews were called, but the shoplifter died en route to the hospital.

The police investigation will likely raise questions about the individual’s presence in the Walmart. Was she a well-known customer? Had she been suspected of shoplifting before? Did she get heart medications at the Walmart pharmacy? Would security have known about it? In short, did the individual demonstrate symptoms of having a heart condition, or was the death caused by the exertion of being chased and the shock of being restrained? Many of those questions cannot be answered until the results of the autopsy are released.

Regardless of what answers the investigation uncovers, the victim’s family has rights. In situations like this, where wrongful death has occurred, the family members of the victim should also consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer to find out their rights.

If there is enough cause to take the case to court or discuss a settlement, the family will need a lawsuit loan to help pay for the medical care, funeral and burial expenses for the victim.

Accessing litigation funding is simple and can be done either online or by calling a litigation funding company. The advantages of pre-settlement funding are numerous, such as the plaintiff does not need to be working, does not have to pass a credit check, does not pay any money up front or make any monthly payments. The lawsuit loan is theirs to keep if they lose their case in court, with no strings attached.

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.

No one begrudges people working longer these days. Older workers are valued for their knowledge and wisdom, in most cases. In this case, the Department of Transport in New York was sued for the actions of one of their transportation engineers causing a devastating collision, in the middle of the day, while driving under the influence and behind the wheel of a state vehicle.

The suit stated in part, that the 79-year-old engineer had a known history of drinking on the job and they should have known better than to allow him to drive, never mind keep his job. The man, with 57 years of service, who was also killed in the wreck that took the life of Nancy McQueeny, was legally intoxicated at the time of the accident. His state owned vehicle slammed into McQueeny’s, after veering into her lane.

McQueeny’s family hired a personal injury lawyer and filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the State and the engineer. They will need to wait sometime for the verdict, as this case may be settled by negotiations. If that does not work, there is still litigation, a process that may take several months, if not years. In the meantime, the McQueeny family will need cash to pay their important bills, cash in the form of a lawsuit loan.

Lawsuit funding provides money in advance to plaintiffs waiting for their cases to be settled or go to verdict. The pre-settlement funding is a welcome lifesaver for the family to help them with their tight financial situation. It is not the same thing as a bank loan, even though many people refer to is as a lawsuit loan. The funding is offered in advance, based on the winnability of the case in question.

Litigation funding does not require a credit check, employment history, cash up front or monthly payments, and it is not paid back, until you win your case. Should you lose in court, you own the litigation funding company “zero” money in return. This is a good deal for the plaintiff, and while the funding is generally spent on immediate living expenses and medical bills, it may be used in any way, until the case is settled. Fill out an online application today, or give them a call to find out more.

It all started with a cell phone. In Alpharetta, Georgia, a 23-year-old woman was driving distracted, by talking on her cell phone, when she slammed into another vehicle being driven by a 67-year-old man. The collision and subsequent roll-over killed him.

The young woman was driving on a local highway, talking on her cell phone, when she lost control of her vehicle, veered into the next lane and rammed into a Nissan Pathfinder. The force of the impact caused the man to lose control of his vehicle, veer sideways, roll-over several times and end up crushed against a guard rail. By the time the police and first responders arrived on the scene, they found the man dead. He never stood a chance.

Over 3,000 deaths in the U.S. last year were related to distracted driving and while the cell phone, and other mobile devices are, at times, a blessing, they are not used safely or wisely by drivers. Cell phones do not belong in vehicles, without or without a headset – period. A point being made by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who is pushing for legislation to ban cell phones in all vehicles.

A month had passed before the at-fault driver in this horrific collision turned herself into the police. She was charged with failing to maintain her own land and second-degree homicide. Many hope the criminal justice system will prevail in this case. It is likely the man’s family will want to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer, and find out how to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Part of the justice they would seek is to be able to make the point that cell phones should not be allowed in vehicles and that driver’s using them while driving, need to take responsibility for their negligence.

What will the man’s family do to pay their bills while they are waiting for their case to be resolved? They might want to find out more about litigation funding and how they could make use of a lawsuit loan to pay for all of their expenses. Pre-settlement funding acts as a lifeline for the family, and helps them face financial issues throughout the long litigation process. This is not a typical bank loan. A lawsuit cash advance is offered to you, based on the strength of the case. Once you are approved the funding arrives in your bank account within 24-48 hours. If you lose in court, you pay nothing. It is worth checking into.

This accident involved a direct head-on between a BMW and a school bus. School bus collisions are always frightening for first responders and the kids, as many busses do not have seat belts, and the injuries can be significant. This wreck happened early in the morning when, for some unknown reason, the BMW crossed the center line and met the school bus in its designated lane.

Emergency crews had to medi-vac three of the car’s occupants to the nearest hospital, where two teens were admitted, and treated for life-threatening injuries. It appears the teenage female driver of the BMW was the only one still conscious after the wreck, and able to talk to medical personnel. She was not able to explain what happened to cause her to crash into the bus.

Police suspect the young driver may have been driving while distracted, and a full investigation will be undertaken to ascertain the reasons for the wreck. The school bus driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and the passengers on board the bus were deemed shaken up, but good to go.

There are many unanswered questions in this case, not the least of which is what the driver was doing just prior to the crash. While it may not seem fair to speculate that the four teens were likely not paying much attention to the road, it may be a reasonable assumption, given the popularity of cell phones, iPads and other e-devices that are used while the driver is supposed to be paying attention to the road.

Could it have been mechanical failure? It may have been, but that is a question that will be answered after the police are done examining the vehicle. In the meantime, two critically injured teens are struggling to recover in the hospital. How extensive their injuries are will dictate how long they may need care. If their injuries are catastrophic, they may need medical assistance for the rest of their lives. They will need to recover compensation in order to pay their bills.

While waiting for trial, the teens and their families must still pay their usual monthly obligations, such as the mortgage and car expenses. How will they pay all of their bills? Their answer may well be litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding. This is funding advanced to a qualified plaintiff while they are waiting for a resolution to their case. The plaintiff must have a lawyer working for them before they apply for a lawsuit loan.

A lawsuit cash advance is an emergency loan, and assists cash strapped victims to pay all of the expenses incurred as a result of their accident. Being unable to work means serious financial pressures for individuals, and families, while they wait for a settlement or for their case to go to court. Lawsuit funding may be the right thing for you. Their application and approval process is super fast and a lawsuit loan can be in your bank account in under 48 hours.

How is it possible for the van to ram into a car slowing down and about to make a turn into a driveway? The van driver was following too close and had no time to stop or slow down.  Because he was in a hurry to get on with his day and his deliveries, he was tail-gating impatiently. The consequences speak for themselves, and the critically injured young woman will likely seek experienced legal counsel, to find out what her rights are, and how to file a personal injury lawsuit. Someone needs to be held responsible for her injuries, and that someone would be the FedEx driver, who was cited by police for following too closely.

What does the young woman do when she is waiting for her case to be resolved by the justice system? She will have bills to continue to pay and new expenses for her medical care. Since she is unable to work, how will she pay her bills? The best solution for her would be to apply for litigation funding. Legal finance services would help her take care of her living expenses, other important bills and her medical costs as a result of her severe injuries. If the plaintiff is eligible for pre-settlement funding, the lawsuit cash advance lets he or she avoid the pitfall of being forced to settle too soon for less than their case may be worth.

If you are waiting for your lawyer to move your case towards negotiation or take it to court, and are in desperate need of fast cash to pay your usual monthly financial obligations and medical bills, check into applying for a lawsuit cash advance. It is easy to apply for by going online, and there are no monthly payments, credit checks or proof that you work required. The litigation funding company assumes all the risks in this partnership. If you lose your case in court, you owe them nothing.

The news is filled with far too many deaths as a result of wrong-way crashes. There was yet another one in New York, involving a Nissan Maxima and a Dodge Caravan. All reports, police and eyewitness, indicate the Maxima was heading north in the southbound lane. The inevitable happened. It creamed a Dodge Caravan, causing a Mazda to rear-end the Caravan.

Needless to say, given the rate of speed, the male driver of the Nissan and the Caravan’s driver were killed instantly in the carnage. The two occupants of the Mazda made it to the hospital in fairly stable condition but with serious injuries.

There is a lot of clean-up work to do in cases like this. The Nissan only had one occupant, who died at the scene, so the investigation will require autopsy findings to determine why the 26-year-old man was driving the wrong way that night. The police suspect alcohol and/or drugs may have played a factor in this senseless accident. Two were killed ostensibly because someone wanted an extra drink or was driving high.

What will the victims do in this case? It’s highly likely the family of the 53-year-old Caravan driver will file a wrongful death lawsuit. The two surviving individuals in the Mazda will want to talk to a personal injury accident lawyer, and find out how to recover compensation for their injuries. This group of people will have enormous bills and no way to pay them from their regular incomes. What can they do as they wait for justice? They can apply for lawsuit funding.

Litigation funding, also referred to as lawsuit financing, is an emergency loan to an approved plaintiff, to help them handle all of their expenses until their case is resolved. All a plaintiff needs to do to apply for lawsuit settlement funding is to contact a litigation funding company. The case is reviewed and once it is approved, based on the chances it will win, the pre-settlement funding is sent directly to the plaintiff’s bank account.

A lawsuit loan helps the plaintiff get back on their feet financially, and once those pressing necessity bills are paid, they can just wait until their case is decided. There is no pressure to deal with insurance companies, and should the case lose in court, and that does happen sometimes, the plaintiff walks away, keeping the lawsuit funding without any strings attached.

The accident happened to a Florida man, who was smoking in his study, enjoying his e-cigarette, when all of a sudden it was like being hit by lightening. The cigarette blew up, sounding like a Fourth of July firecracker. The man sustained serious mouth damage. He lost part of his tongue and all of his teeth. A fire also started in the room; all of this mayhem caused by something as small as a cigarette?

Investigators on the scene are pointing fingers at a faulty lithium battery, brand unknown, as nothing was left of it after it exploded. All that remained was evidence of a recharging station near the 57-year-old man’s chair. While these portable and smoke free little electronic cigarettes are the latest trend to help smokers quit inhaling tobacco, tar and other carcinogens, they may be in their own way just as deadly. This explosion makes that quite clear.

End result? This victim may not be able to speak properly, will likely require either dental implants, dentures, or expensive dental surgery to remove any roots left behind after the explosion. It will be a long, painful process for him, and an incredibly expensive one. How will he pay for all these bills and his regular financial obligations?

After consulting his personal injury attorney, he may wish to investigate whether he qualifies for litigation funding. This is an emergency lawsuit “loan” designed to help plaintiffs like the unfortunate e-cigarette victim get out of the money pit of medical expenses while waiting for a personal injury case to be resolved. Pre-settlement funding takes care of all of the important expenses and allows the victim to wait for justice without worrying how day-to-day bills and expenses will be paid.

Lawsuit funding can be used for medical expenses, home, car or other bills, as well. All a victim needs to do is call a litigation funding company, provide his lawyer’s name and case details, have his case reviewed, approved and receive his money by wire within 48 hours. Litigation funding is the backup the victim needs in a lawsuit.

No one knew how their co-worker got tangled up in a press machine. No one apparently saw what happened the night the man was killed, and the police will spend time trying to find out if something was wrong with the machine as well.

Brady Perkins worked a late shift at a sign making company. Somehow, he managed to get stuck in a press machine and was crushed to death. The pickup truck sized machine was known to be dangerous, and workers were trained to handle it with care. How Perkins got into the machine and got crushed without someone hearing him is still unclear.

What is clear is that the man is dead and his family is in serious shock over the incident. How could it have happened? What was he doing that would make him climb into the machine? Was there something wrong with it? A mechanical failure of some sort? Was he cleaning it? Servicing it? Did someone come by, not see him in the machine and turn it on? For sure, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration will be onsite to conduct their own investigation into the death.

This man’s family will need expert counsel from a competent personal injury attorney with a track record in representing families in wrongful death cases. Something went wrong here, and once it is figured out, the family will likely opt to file a lawsuit. They just lost their major breadwinner and will be desperate for money to pay bills, burial and funeral expenses. It will be a nightmare for them.

In order to deal with their death expenses, the family might want to find out more about accessing litigation funding. It is not unusual for them to find themselves facing a major crisis financially speaking, and waiting for a lawsuit to be settled or make its way through court might take a very long time. Over time, financial difficulties will get worse. The good news is pre-settlement funding can help.

A litigation funding company offers a lawsuit cash advance. It is funding for the plaintiff and if they are approved, they will get it in advance of a pending settlement or jury verdict. With a lawsuit loan in the bank, the victim may pay medical bills for any necessary surgeries, medications and any other financial obligations. They do not need to suffer economically when litigation funding is accessible for eligible plaintiffs.

This is one of the worst types of accidents on record due to death by decapitation that was caused by a wood chipper. It’s difficult to imagine that kind of a thing happening, but it did, much to the shock and horror of the man’s family. Evidently, the man was handling various types of debris and tree branches while feeding them into the wood chipper. On the surface, this is a fairly straightforward job, but one that needs to follow safety precautions.

The man operating the wood chipper was guiding a very large piece of wood through it when it appears the guide rope got stuck during the process. The rope wrapped around the man’s neck, slicing his head off. He had no chance to save himself, as his hand was nowhere near the shut-off switch.

Police at the scene feel that the rope was tangled in the brush being chipped, got caught on one of the tines and yanked him off his feet with such force he could not get untangled or reach the off switch. It appeared that the machine was a chuck-and-duck chipper, referring to the speed materials were processed through and dropped into the drum. These wood chippers are noted as having major safety issues, such as operators getting snagged on material being fed into the machine.

The initial assessment of the death was that it was an accident. Further investigation will reveal if it was or not. Consider if the wood chipper was faulty and this accident was as a result of an improperly maintained machine, an imbalance in the internal feeder mechanism, or lack of proper safety training. There are a number of explanations for the death, other than by misadventure on the part of the deceased. Should that be the case, the manufacturer of the chipper would be named in the lawsuit and perhaps the company that owned the chipper and employed the dead man.

For the family left behind in the wake of this shocking event, their first course of action should involve contacting a wrongful death lawyer and discussing their options. Should they be able to file a wrongful death action, they will need to know where they may source funding to allow them to wait until their case is handled by the justice system.

They might want to start their search by contacting a litigation funding company; a firm that specializes in lawsuit loans, approved in advance of an expected court settlement. Pre-settlement funding is designed to help victims (and their families) move forward in a financially secure way to deal with their bills. Lawsuit loans are often used to pay medical expenses, but they may be used to pay for anything such as student loans, mortgages or car loans.

Litigation funding is considered to be an emergency loan to help the plaintiff deal with their financial situation and give them breathing room while their lawyer deals with their case. If the case is lost, the plaintiff does not pay the legal funding back. It’s a good deal for plaintiffs, and worth checking out.

This case involves yet another baffling single vehicle accident ramming into a tree. That is hard to do if you are paying attention to your driving. It appears that in this case, the driver of the UPS truck involved in this wreck may well have been driving while distracted. The police investigation will reveal more.

Here is what happened. The UPS truck went flying off an embankment, went airborne and rammed into a tree. As it was airborne, a passenger was ejected, who became pinned between the truck and tree for over 30 minutes as rescue crews worked to get him freed. The passenger was taken to the nearest hospital with life-threatening injuries and the driver was treated at the scene with minor injuries.

While police do not think the UPS driver was drunk, there are questions remaining about how the vehicle happened to go off the road that need to be cleared up. The seriously injured passenger will need the answers to those questions in order to help build a personal injury case to obtain damages for his injuries. Depending on how severe the trauma was, the passenger may face life in a wheelchair, or worse. This would mean the damages awarded may be high, to reflect how the individual’s life was ruined because of an accident.

The long road to recovery for the passenger will begin by filing a personal injury lawsuit and trying to find enough cash to make it until trial. Cases like this often take a long time to be settled, and the plaintiff will need funds quickly to handle hospital bills, possible therapy, lost wages and other important bills like the mortgage, car payments and/or student loans.

Where is the plaintiff going to be able to find the kind of money needed to handle the hospital bills and everything else? The victim may wish to pursue lawsuit funding, which is a non-recourse cash advance against their pending lawsuit. This funding assists a victim who is waiting for compensation from a personal injury lawsuit and who needs cash right away. Litigation funding is fast cash and is not like a traditional loan as there are no upfront fees or payments to be made every month. You only repay the pre-settlement funding when you win your case.

This case will likely cause a few raised eyebrows, especially when you get to the part that says the plaintiff, John Ezzo, was blindfolded and riding without a helmet on a Segway vehicle. He worked for Segway, Inc., based in New Hampshire and was tapped to help out in a company demo of their two-wheeled vehicle in 2009 at Southern Connecticut State University.

It sounded harmless enough; demonstrating one of the Segways, but company workers got the bright idea to build an obstacle course, thinking that would highlight the vehicles agility. Again, that would likely have been fine as well. However, Ezzo was blindfolded and sent off on the course without a helmet. While attempting to navigate the course, he fell and seriously injured his head.

Ezzo consulted with a personal injury attorney and chose to file a lawsuit, which was just recently settled in December 2011 for $10 million. It will allow the 23-year-old man to get on with his life, such as it is now. In his statement of claim, he said he had been forced to drop out of the university and could only do work as a handyman.

Waiting for this case to go to court would have been incredibly difficult for the young man, even if he may have lived at home and had some help from his family. He would have significant medical bills to pay, therapy, medications to pay for and his future would be forever altered from a bright student aiming to complete college to a handyman with difficulty coping with daily tasks.

In order to pay his bills, he may well have been able to turn to litigation funding. This is also known as pre-settlement funding and is advanced to a qualified plaintiff ahead of their expected settlement or verdict. It is an emergency loan and the legal funding will help victims deal with the expenses incurred as a result of their accident.

If you have been involved in an accident and have serious financial issues facing you while you are waiting for a settlement or for your case to go to court, make it a point to find out about lawsuit funding. They have a lightning fast application and approval process, and you could access your fund within 24-48 hours. Many plaintiffs like the fact that pre-settlement funding is non-recourse as you do not pay it back unless you win your case.

When today’s older Americans were kids, they certainly did not have as many toys made that were a serious choking hazard. Not to say that there may not have been a toy or two that had some issues, but by and large, when we grew up, we did not have to be afraid of chewing our slippers and choking. Every time you turn around, there is yet another recall for something that could either seriously harm a child or kill them. There is something very wrong with that picture, and usually it relates to money.

Manufacturers are in such a rush to get toys and clothing to market to rake in cash, that the safety of the end user often falls by the wayside. If the individuals who designed some of this stuff stopped and honestly thought about what they were doing, they would get it that you do not make toys or clothing with items that detach and can choke and kill.

Take this latest recall for example. Who in their right mind would make kids’ slippers with detachable rolly eyes? Of course a kid is going to put that into their mouths. Everything goes into a kid’s mouth, whether it is a slipper or something else that catches their eye. If the clothing industry wants to put eyes on slippers, why don’t they just embroider them onto the existing fabric, and not attach them with a couple of loops of flimsy thread?

The nationwide voluntary recall was for roughly 16,000 Kidgets® Animal Sock Top Slippers. Not so surprisingly, it was discovered that the animal’s eyes pose a choking hazard for young children. The dogs, lions and duck slippers were to be returned to any of the stores they were purchased from to get a full refund, which is a nice gesture. However, here is the problem. Not everyone will hear about this recall.

Someone may even get a pair of these things for the holidays or see them in a bargain bin where someone tossed them without thinking. If a child chokes on these eyes, the company that made them is liable. It is just that simple. Any family faced with a child with serious injuries from choking on a toy eye, or inhaling it and shutting down their airway causing death will likely want to file a wrongful death, defective product lawsuit. While waiting for their case to be decided, the family will need cash to pay their bills.

The family might apply for litigation funding, also known as pre-settlement funding or a lawsuit cash advance. This is money paid in advance of a court verdict or settlement. Litigation funding lets a plaintiff pay all of their bills and then wait for justice. They apply online or by phone, discuss case details, get their case assessed and approved.

The lawsuit loan is wired into their bank accounts, usually within 24 to 48 hours and although they may use the money for pretty much anything they like, they realize it is a smart move to pay their pressing medical bills right away and deal with other expenses too. Lawsuit funding helps plaintiffs get back on their feet when they need help the most.

This has got to be one of the most bizarre cases we have ever heard about. A U-Haul truck was moving around in the tailgating area at the Yale Bowl, hauling beer. Nothing was really out of the ordinary there, but for the fact that the truck ran over a woman, killing her. For some unknown reason, the truck suddenly accelerated, rolling over the hapless victim and two others, and subsequently smashing into other U-Haul vans in the same lot.

The 30-year-old woman received CPR from emergency responders, and was taken to the nearest hospital for care. Unfortunately, she died shortly after arriving. Both other injured women, hit by the same truck, were also taken to hospital. One victim sustained broken bones and was listed in serious, but stable condition. The third person was treated and released.

Police at the scene administered a field sobriety test to the U-Haul driver and discovered that he was not under the influence of alcohol. Whether he had been texting, talking on a cell phone, not paying attention to where he was going, or the vehicle had a mechanical glitch remains to be seen as the investigation proceeds.

Do the victims have causes of action? Yes. The dead woman’s family may wish to file a wrongful death lawsuit, and the two other victims might want to file personal injury lawsuits. In any of these scenarios, those filing a lawsuit will be cash strapped and wondering what they are going to do to pay their medical and other bills.

It is not unusual for the family of a deceased victim or those injured in an accident to find themselves facing a serious gap in their financial situation. Being without funds is indeed a tremendous financial hardship. Furthermore, waiting for a lawsuit to reach a settlement or conclude in a court verdict may take many months, if not years, making the financial situation even more dismal. The good news is that litigation funding can help.

A litigation funding company offers lawsuit funding. It is a cash advance for the plaintiff that they may apply for, and once approved, receive in advance of a pending settlement or jury verdict. With pre-settlement funding in the bank, the victim can pay medical expenses, therapy, medications and any other financial obligations. There is no need to suffer financial hardship when lawsuit loans are available.

We do not know what happened to common sense when it comes to making items for children, but the long, long list of recalls relating to kids products is terminally depressing. Kids cannot fend for themselves and figure out if something is bad for them. They do not stop to think about choking on a button, swallowing a moving part or suffocating in a crib or stroller.

What is wrong with manufacturers that they do not take the care and caution necessary for small ones? Typically the reply is that they are too busy trying to make money and child safety does not matter to them. If it did, you would not see some of the dangerous items being marketed in the name of greed we see on the market today. For instance, this latest recall relates to a children’s frog mask; a mask that is cute, but deadly and could suffocate a child.

It seems the masks do not have proper ventilation and when placed on a child’s face, may pose a serious threat to breathing. If the masks are being made for kids, why on earth don’t the makers make the ventilation cuts larger? How difficult is that? These plush green and red masks have two eye cutouts and the usual elastic band to fasten the mask on the child’s head. The UPC code is 06626491474, in case you bought one for Halloween or a dress up or birthday party for your child.

The recall for this product was voluntary and the mask may be returned to any Target store that sold the mask for a complete refund. That deals with those parents who heard about the recall and did something about it. It does not deal with the parents that did not hear about it and may come across such a mask in a garage sale or silent auction.

Would the mask maker be liable for any suffocation deaths as a result of a child dying from using their mask? It is likely they would, despite the recall, as the product would be considered to be defective. Should a death or serious injury occur, the family would likely be able to file a personal injury or a wrongful death, defective product lawsuit.

What would the parents do to pay medical bills, household expenses and other bills related to the incident? Most families do not have extra money lying around to pay a lawyer, unless they have some financial assistance. The answer to this dilemma is that they may hire a lawyer and then contact a litigation funding company about pre-settlement funding.

A lawsuit cash advance is an emergency lawsuit loan to help a plaintiff get back on their feet financially and deal with all their bills. This money is there to back them up while they wait for their case to be resolved. Legal financing is very easy to apply for, and you must have an attorney working for you before you fill out an application form.

If the lawsuit loan is approved, the money may be used for anything that is important, but typically, it is used immediately to pay pressing medical and other bills. Once financial pressure is handled, the plaintiffs may sit back and let justice take its course.

There are accidents that you wish you had never seen, as the memory of them haunts you long after you have witnessed the carnage. This accident is one of those accidents that caused deaths and horrendous injuries. Thankfully, there were no other vehicles involved in this accident.

This wreck happened in Bristol, Indiana and was the result of a minivan hitting a deer. The van, which was carrying 10 passengers, slowed down and stopped in the eastbound lane after the impact. Shortly after it halted, the van was hit from behind by a tractor-trailer, sending both vehicles up onto the center median after the crash.

The van’s occupants never stood a chance to get out of that mess alive, and emergency first responders were amazed to find three people with vital signs when they sorted through the wreckage. Two of those victims were airlifted to medical care, and the third was taken to the nearest trauma center. The trucker was also taken to the hospital. EMS crews had the awful task of declaring seven of the van’s occupants dead at the scene.

What happened here? Was the trucker speeding? Riding too close to the van? Driving distracted? How could the trucker have missed a van sitting in the middle of a highway if he had been paying attention? These are questions the police will be trying to find answers to over the course of their investigation. Those who did survive will be able to file personal injury lawsuits. Those that died will likely have their families file wrongful death lawsuits.

What does a family do to pay the high medical bills and other expenses associated with a death or family member receiving medical care to recover from a bad wreck while they wait for their case to go to court? One of the best answers is to apply for a lawsuit loan from a litigation funding company. A lawsuit loan, also referred to as pre-settlement funding amounts to being an emergency lawsuit cash advance, specifically designed to let plaintiffs get out of the hole financially.

The litigation funding will carry them through until their case is either resolved through the process of a negotiated settlement or going to court and having a verdict rendered. Legal finance is easy to apply for and will, if you are approved, significantly reduce your financial stress.

In the right set of circumstances, legal financing may be the right choice for you. Make that call today and find out if you would be eligible. You must have a lawyer handling your case before a litigation funding company is able to assist you.

This three vehicle collision left six people with serious injuries just because the at-fault driver wanted to have an extra drink or two and then drive. What a bad decision. An even worse decision was made when the driver went through a stop sign, which resulted in the car hitting a truck and another vehicle trying to avoid the wreck, but instead, crashing into the corner of the intersection.

The force of the impact was so significant that one of the vehicles landed on its side, trapping the driver in the wreckage. EMS crews had to extricate that driver to get him to the hospital, where he was listed in critical condition. There were also six others rushed to area emergency rooms for medical attention. Those six were listed in stable condition.

According to police reports of the 2 a.m. crash, speed and booze were factors, and the finger points back to the driver that decided he did not need to obey a stop sign and sped right through it into the side of a truck. It was complete mayhem at the accident scene, with EMS crews trying to do triage and extracting trapped drivers, and the police trying to sort out who caused the mess in the first place.

Until all the blood tests taken at the hospital were confirmed, charges would be held in abeyance. However, it is likely the driver of the car that ran the stop sign will be charged with DWI among other things. And the survivors of this mess? They will most likely be checking around for a personal injury lawyer to find out how to obtain compensation for their medical expenses and other costs.

Some of them might even sue the drunk driver and while they are waiting for their case to go to court, they would need cash to pay their bills. Since that will be hard to come by if they are not working, they could check into sourcing litigation funding.

If the drunk driver’s conduct is deemed negligent, and it would be hard to think it was not, since he chose to drive while drunk, his insurance would help the injured in this case handle their enormous medical bills. But litigation can take months, even years, to come to an end.

How will these families deal with their horrendous medical bills on top of their regular monthly expenses? If they have filed a lawsuit, they can apply for lawsuit funding from a lawsuit loan company. Legal funding is easy to apply for and helps victims out of their awkward debt situation until a verdict is handed down or they reach an equitable settlement with the other side.

Pre-settlement funding is a lawsuit cash advance, which is an emergency loan that allows the plaintiff to pay off important bills and expenses. Plaintiffs will then have the time and money to wait for justice, and in the meantime they can turn down inadequate offers from insurance companies.

If you have been injured in an accident thanks to someone else’s negligence and you are filing a lawsuit with a seasoned injury attorney, litigation funding is worth checking out. It will pay your bills while you wait for a fair resolution to your case.

The witnesses to this awful accident will remember it for years to come. They will remember watching, almost as if in slow motion, a woman running alongside a light rail train and being crushed to death as she fell under the wheels. The local medical examiner identified the victim as 26-year-old Jessica Lubken of Denver, Colorado.

While the details of this case are a bit sketchy, it appears the woman was running beside the slow moving RTD light rail train at about 1 p.m. in the afternoon and was vigorously banging on the doors to be let in. She fell and slid under the train wheels. Even though emergency crews were able to get her to the hospital alive, her injuries were too severe for her to survive. She was pronounced dead shortly after her arrival.

The investigation report indicated that the train’s conductors are not supposed to let passengers off or on the train anywhere other than at clearly demarcated train stops. That being said, one eyewitness indicated to police that she saw the conductor motioning for the woman to come around to the side of the train. The witnesses’ conclusion was that the man was indicating for the woman to get onboard, which will be an important point of consideration in any wrongful death lawsuit filed by the woman’s estate.

Other witnesses in the vicinity also saw her get hooked on the train and dragged at least 30 feet before the train could be brought to a complete halt. Some also commented that the woman seemed to be drunk. The train’s conductor will be screened for drugs and alcohol and further investigation would be completed to find out how the woman managed to get under the train.

There is not much doubt that the Lubken family will want to speak to a personal injury lawyer about their daughter’s death. It would have been incredibly distressing for them, and they would not know what their rights were in connection with her death. They would also be faced with medical costs and other bills that they would have to find a way to pay in addition to the rest of their monthly expenses. Not every family has that kind of money on hand.

After speaking with an injury attorney and filing a lawsuit, the family might want to consider applying for litigation funding, also referred to as a lawsuit cash advance or pre-settlement funding. These are funds paid in advance of a court verdict or settlement that allows the plaintiffs to pay all of their bills and then wait for justice.

The plaintiffs apply, either online or by phone, provide case details, have their case assessed by the litigation funding company and then approved. After the 24-48 hour approval process, the pre-settlement funding is wired into their bank accounts. It is a very simple process and the money may be used for any important reason, although the plaintiffs are advised to pay their medical and other expenses promptly.

Lawsuit funding puts plaintiffs back on their feet when they need financial help the most. Additionally, litigation funding offers crucial leverage to turn down inadequate offers from the insurance company. Insurance representatives are often more concerned with using the plaintiffs’ financial desperation to get a lower settlement.

Amusement parks have glitches, but major ones are not the normal course of business. This case happened in Sacramento, California at the Raging Waters Park in its wave pool. The park was full the day of the accident, everyone was having fun, when suddenly the pool water turned a disgusting color of green, started to bubble and people in the area started dry heaving. Something was terribly wrong.

It was August 15, 2011 and a huge cloud of the chlorine had been released into the pool. People could not breathe, their throats were dry and raspy, eyes started to tear. It was hard to navigate to the side of the pool to get out and run. No one knew what was going on, not even the lifeguards. It was sheer panic as partially blinded, wheezing people frantically headed as far away from the pool as they could get.

This leak was serious, and city fire officials declared it a level-two hazardous materials incident. An investigation revealed that there had been a mechanical failure in the system that delivers the liquefied chlorine to the pool. That glitch released too much chlorine at once and nine kids, eight adults and three park employees were taken to the hospital for medical care. There is an ongoing investigation into this matter and what caused the failure that led to this potentially deadly leak.

All of the victims involved in this incident would likely want to talk to a personal injury lawyer. They will need to pay their medical expenses, somehow. Out of the 21 people harmed, those seriously affected by the chlorine will need more intensive medical care. How would they take care of their medical bills and regular household expenses? Injuries like this often cause a wealth of financial problems for the victims and their families.

After hiring experienced attorneys and filing lawsuits, the families may want to consider applying for litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding or a “lawsuit loan”. This is money paid in advance of a court verdict or settlement. The plaintiffs apply, provide the details of their case, have it assessed and approved. After the 24 to 48 hour approval process, the litigation funding is wired directly into their bank accounts. It is a very simple process and the money may be used for any important reason.

Lawsuit funding helps to put plaintiffs back on their feet at a time when they need financial help the most. In addition, a lawsuit cash advance provides critical leverage to decline insufficient offers from the greedy insurance company, which often uses plaintiffs’ financial desperation to get them to agree to a lower-than-full-value settlement.

Alfreda was minding her own business one day in 2009. In fact, she was waiting for the pedestrian walk signal, before she started to cross a busy New York street. The signal changed, indicating it was safe for her to proceed across. At roughly the halfway mark, she was run over by a bus being driven by a Metropolitan Transport Authority driver.

When the emergency medical crew arrived to take her to the hospital, they were not sure she was going to make it. She did, but came out of surgery missing an arm and a leg, and blinded in one eye. At the age of 59 years old, this is a life altering, catastrophic accident that left a woman unable to perform many of the daily living tasks we all take for granted.
Alfreda hired a personal injury lawyer to get her the kind of compensation she would need to be able to pay for her care. The case was successful at trial, and she was awarded $20 million. Trial documents clearly showed that she had waited for the pedestrian walk signal before crossing the road and that the driver ignored the signal.

The transit authority was not happy with the decision and plans to appeal. The authority contends that the bus was already in the crosswalk before the victim, so the driver had the right-of-way. This was a catastrophic accident for Alfreda and she faces a completely different life than she enjoyed before.

Just after her accident, the victim spoke to a personal injury lawyer to start the long process of trying to recover compensation for her serious injuries. She did not have money to pay the enormous medical bills she had incurred, and was trying to wrap her head around how she would get the care she needed without money. Litigation typically takes months or years to resolve. The perfect answer would have been for her to apply for litigation funding from a “lawsuit loan” company.

Pre-settlement funding is an emergency lawsuit cash advance that is designed to allow plaintiffs to get back on their feet financially, and carry them through until the case is resolved by a verdict or equitable settlement. Legal finance is easy to apply for and, if approved, reduces the financial stress associated with a serious injury accident.

Although this “lawsuit loan” may be used as one pleases, plaintiffs should utilize lawsuit finance for important bills and expenses. With financial issues out of the way, plaintiffs have the time and money to let justice take its course and they can decline inadequate offers and wait for a fair, proposed settlement.

If you have been injured in an accident as the result of someone else’s negligence, and you are pursuing a lawsuit with the assistance of a seasoned personal injury attorney, litigation funding is worth checking out if you need cash to pay your bills while the lawsuit is pending.

Day after day, week after week, year after year, people get killed by drunk drivers. Yet people continue to drink and drive. People continue to get seriously hurt or killed because someone made the stupid decision to get behind the wheel despite being inebriated. This is a case where two teens who should not have been drinking in the first place, decided to drink and drive. As a result, two people are dead and one is seriously injured after a single-vehicle rollover.

The police reports show that speed and booze were significant factors. Three teens, two 16-year-olds and a 15-year-old, were speeding along a roadway just before midnight, enjoy an evening of boozing and schmoozing. The car veered off the road, flipped, and landed on its hood. The 16-year-old driver was pronounced dead at the scene, as was one of his passengers. The lone survivor of the wreck was evacuated by medevac to the nearest medical center in serious but stable condition.

Evidently, the teens had been camping with a group of other students in the canyon where they began drinking to pass the time. All victims were last seen at the campsite about 8:30 p.m. When the three did not return, others went looking for them, found the crash scene, and called 911.

This is a tough case. The kids willingly got into a car with a drunk driver and were drunk themselves. The dead passenger’s family should be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit. The injured girl’s family should be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to recover compensation for her injuries. Whatever the families do choose to do, death and injury often cause a host of financial problems for victims and their families.

After retaining attorneys and filing lawsuits, both families may wish to consider applying for litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding. This is money paid in advance of a court verdict or settlement. The plaintiffs apply, provide case details, have their case assessed and approved. After the 24 to 48 hour approval process, a lawsuit cash advance is wired into their bank accounts. It is a very simple process and the money can be used for any important reason.

Lawsuit funding puts plaintiffs back on their feet when they need financial help the most.

A 10-year-old witness said the victim, Ivhan’e Merritt, was one of the kids on the lawn when Charles DuBose opened fire. At the sound of gunfire, the kids ran; Ivhan’e was yelling that she had been shot. Her friends thought she was making it up until she fell to the ground. The little girl was rushed to hospital where it was discovered the bullet had grazed her liver; currently her recovery status is unknown.

It is likely that the girl’s mom will speak to a personal injury lawyer about this case. Assuming the neighbor was trying to scare the children and not trying to hurt anyone, his conduct was at least negligent. If his conduct is determined to be negligent, not intentional, his homeowners insurance would apply to help the child’s family deal with the enormous medical bills for their wounded daughter. But litigation can take months, even years, to resolve.

How will they get by with these additional expenses hanging over them? If a lawyer takes her case and pursues a negligence claim, the mother can apply for litigation funding from a lawsuit funding company. Legal finance is easy to apply for and will help tide her over until her verdict comes in or she reaches an equitable settlement.

Pre-settlement funding is a lawsuit cash advance that lets the plaintiff pay off important bills and expenses. Even though this “lawsuit loan” can be used as one pleases, plaintiffs should utilize this lawsuit financing for important bills and expenses.

There is the old saying that sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction. This particular reported case is one of those stranger than fiction scenarios. No one would have thought about being crushed to death by a dumpster. It just seemed too bizarre to ever happen.

The 53-year-old man who lost his life suddenly, had a fairly normal day at work, until about 1 p.m. He worked for a metal recycling outfit and was going about his usual duties, when a dumpster that was being unloaded for recycling fell on top of him. He was pinned to the ground and when emergency crews arrived, was pronounced dead at the scene.

How did the dumpster fall? Who was lifting the dumpster? Was it on a forklift? How did it fall? Was the operator experienced or new? Was the equipment defective or improperly maintained? Did the forklift operator pay attention to what and who was around him at the time? Questions, questions, questions. Endless questions will dog this investigation until investigators figure out what happened to cause the dumpster to fall.

The reason for its fall is important in terms of whether or not there was third party liability and whether or not there was negligence afoot that day. Dumpsters just don’t fall off forklifts because they can. There has to be a reason for it. While the exact cause of the man’s death was not evident at the time, chances are the autopsy will show blunt force injuries.

Once more information is known, the family of the deceased worker may wish to file a wrongful death lawsuit. In order to pay their bills while they are waiting to go to court, they could apply for pre-settlement funding to carry them over until verdict or a settlement. Litigation funding is specifically designed to help cash strapped plaintiffs get back on their feet financially, pay all of their bills off and then have the luxury of waiting, debt free, for their case to be resolved.

Plaintiffs don’t pay any money to apply for lawsuit funding and don’t have to go through a credit check or even have a job. The only thing they need to have is a case that stands a good chance of winning when it goes to court. If by chance they do not win their lawsuit, the pre-settlement funding they were advanced to being with is still theirs to keep, with no strings attached. It’s worth checking litigation funding out if you need money to pay bills while your lawyer works to bring you justice.

The number of product recalls in the marketplace over the last year has grown by leaps and bounds. It’s quite frightening to read about them. They affect the very food we eat, the equipment we use, the tools we rely on and even the products that are supposed to be safe for our babies and small children.

Unfortunately, more and more items of a highly questionable nature, supposedly designed for babies, are being recalled for a variety of reasons ranging from they pose a choking threat to severing fingers and from posing a threat of asphyxiation to death. Makes you think twice about buying baby products, doesn’t it?

One of the more recent recalls involved an article of clothing called a Beeni Baby Hat. Cute name. Cute product, but deadly. The hats were designed with straps on the sides and a removable soother that would be held (by the holder) in the baby’s mouth, which sounds like a good idea. However, it was discovered that if the baby spits up, and no one was around, the baby could choke to death, hence the product recall.

While the idea may have been a bright one in conception, it certainly lacked something in its execution and posed a serious threat to babies. The recall was the right thing to do, but if you give that some further thought, if someone had one of these hats and was not aware of the recall, what would happen if their baby choked to death because it spit up while wearing one of these contraptions?
The answer to that question would be that the maker of the product, despite the recall, would still be held liable for marketing a defective product that either seriously harmed, or killed a child. If the parents of that child also chose to file a personal injury lawsuit or a wrongful death/defective product lawsuit, they would need money to pay their bills while waiting for their case to go to court.
Bills don’t stop coming if someone has been injured or killed, and if their baby had survived a brush with choking, the child would have huge medical bills. The child may also have sustained brain damage if they could not breathe due to choking and did not get medical attention fast enough. It would be hard for the parents to handle their usual expenses, plus medical costs for their child.

Should they choose to file a lawsuit and need funding, they could apply for a lawsuit loan to tide them over until justice is done. Litigation funding is considered to be an emergency loan to help the plaintiff get back on their feet financially until their case is resolved. Applicants for a lawsuit cash advance only need to outline their case to the lawsuit loan company, and wait until it is assessed for its chances of winning in court.

If the case is deemed winnable, the pre-settlement funding is sent straight to the plaintiff’s bank account, for use to pay all of their bills right away. It’s a good deal for the plaintiff who does not have to pay any upfront fees, monthly payments or other hidden charges. It’s a straight out lawsuit loan and should they lose their case in court, they get to keep the money, with no further obligation to the litigation funding company.

Family members of this six-month-old baby were utterly stunned when they checked him in his stroller and found him dead. The little boy had slid between the stroller tray and the seat, got stuck, and was strangled to death. Even though he was rushed to the local hospital, he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Unfortunately, the killer stroller had been bought at a garage sale and no one mentioned, or perhaps even knew, that it had been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission. The model was the Graco Quattro, 7111BKW, called back due to the possibility of babies becoming trapped and strangling if not harnessed. The risk of strangulation was said to be highest in babies younger than a year old.

There is nothing more frightening and saddening than to find out that a child died despite a recall for a dangerous product. The people who bought the stroller at a garage sale had no idea it was dangerous. Did the people who sold the stroller? Possibly, and if they did know, and still sold the stroller anyway, it would seem they may be named in a wrongful death lawsuit.

As is stands, the maker of these strollers, despite having issued a recall, will be named in any lawsuit the parents may choose to file. The parents may also want to find out information about paying their bills and getting out of financial difficulties while they are waiting for their case to go to settlement or trial. In order to line up legal funding, they would just need to make contact with a lawsuit loan company or litigation funding company, and fill out an application for a lawsuit cash advance.

Getting pre-settlement funding once a case has been approved is a breeze, and it only takes about 24 to 48 hours or less for the funds to arrive in the plaintiff’s bank account. From there, they use the money to pay their medical and other pressing bills and then just sit back and wait for justice to be done.

During their wait, they may be approached by an insurance company wanting them to settle quickly and for a low amount. Thanks to having litigation funding in the bank, the plaintiff can turn them down flat, knowing they have money on tap to handle anything that might come up. Another benefit for plaintiffs applying for and being sent litigation funding is the fact that if they do lose their case in court, they still get to keep the money. That’s a good deal.

This will be a difficult case for all those involved. Sang Lan, a gymnast and an athlete in top shape, broke her neck during the 1998 Goodwill Games, held in New York, as a result of a vaulting accident. She filed a federal lawsuit just recently, against the U.S. Gymnastics Federation and Time Warner, indicating they broke their promise to care for her after her injury. She said that since the promised care was not provided, her condition has worsened.

According to the details in the case filings, the defendants failed to pay her medical bills and ensure her other needs were met. Lan indicated in the suit that she has been unable to get medical treatments for her spinal cord injuries and her two broken and dislocated vertebrae.

She further stated that the care provided to her by two Chinese-Americans, appointed as her legal guardians, has caused her more suffering. The guardians were appointed after her accident, in direct opposition to her parent’s wishes. Evidently, the guardians control Lan’s contact and treatments with U.S. doctors.

It seems that Lan has been trying to make ends meet while living in China without proper medical insurance, without any compensation for her life-altering, permanent injury and without the ability to ask for justice. Her lawsuit will likely go to trial within the year. In the meantime, she will definitely need a way to pay her bills, medical and otherwise. She would be best advised to apply for litigation funding.

Litigation funding is an emergency lawsuit loan, given to the plaintiff in advance of their expected verdict. It will help them get back on their feet financially, and help them pay their medical expenses, as well as their regular living expenses. Pre-settlement funding has many advantages for the plaintiff, not the least of which is once they get a lawsuit cash advance, they can turn down insurance company settlement offers.

The other benefit a plaintiff has with legal funding is that if they do lose their case in court, they get to keep what money they have left in the bank. They are not obligated to give it back and they would have no further obligation to the litigation funding company either.

Pre-settlement funding is a good deal for cash strapped plaintiffs, and in this case, it would certainly help Ms. Lan take care of her bills and medical needs.

This case was unusual, largely because it involved a bakery, some very delicious goodies, and about 56 people who were infected with salmonella. One of those badly affected by ingesting the custard-filled confection was a 16-year-old boy who got quite ill and experienced fever, cramping and diarrhea. His stool cultures revealed the presence of salmonella.

The boy’s mother filed a personal injury lawsuit, seeking damages for his suffering and money to pay for medical expenses, not to mention lost wages. She chose to file the lawsuit, as her son was seemingly not able to make a full recovery from the bout with salmonella.

The incident was reported to the health department, who conducted an in depth investigation and noted that 10 of 26 people who had to be hospitalized were still there after several days, and one 80-year-old man died as a result of eating the salmonella contaminated pastry. The bakery where these people bought the pastries was shut down, and all products were tested for signs of salmonella. The culprit was located in cardboard boxes where the empty pastry shells had been stored.

Evidently, the boxes had previously held eggs. It was assumed that some of them may have broken open, and if infected, the sticky left over residue would have come into contact with the surface of the already baked Zeppole pastries.

There will likely be more than one lawsuit filed as a result of this incident, and in the case of the man who died as a result of eating a contaminated pastry, his family may wish to file a wrongful death lawsuit. In any of the cases involved here, most of the people would have large medical bills for several days stay in hospital, expenses for medications and lost wages for recovery time. The question would become how would they pay for the expenses? Most people do not have a lot of extra cash lying around these days.

The people involved in this instance, could check out whether or not they are eligible for litigation funding; an emergency lawsuit cash advance sent to a qualified plaintiff, to help them get back on their feet financially. It’s money the plaintiff may use for just about anything, but most know it’s to be used to pay medical bills and then wait for their case to be heard in court.

There are numerous advantages when applying for pre-settlement funding: no upfront fees, no monthly payments to make, no hidden costs, no credit checks, no requirement to be working, no hassles and best of all, the chance to tell an insurance company that comes in with a really cheap and dirty lowball offer, that they can take a hike. When the plaintiff has a lawsuit cash advance in the bank, they don’t need to consider insurance company offers.

It is a really good deal for plaintiffs and well worth the little bit of time it takes to go online and check out the litigation funding company’s website for more information.

Consumers are getting increasingly frustrated with the high number of product recalls. Do you not sometimes wish you could scream at the makers of these products; tell them to get it right the first time and not put these shoddy items on the market? You have the right to purchase goods that are safe and you have the right to purchase goods that will not harm you. If a product causes you an injury, you may have the right to file a lawsuit for compensation.

Unfortunately, the products today seem to be rushed to market; it is a competitive marketplace and there is great haste to make a quick buck. But what happened to quality control and testing? Take this latest recall by Global Equipment Company; the company recalled approximately 5,000 Workbench Power Risers, Aprons and Power Shelves because of the risk of electrical shock.

Evidently, the wiring in the electrical outlets of these benches was misrouted and reverse polarity was found in some power cords. Obviously, this is a major hazard to people using this product; just as obviously, someone must have suffered a serious injury, calling attention to the defect, in the first instance. If you own a Global Power Riser, Power Apron or Power Shelf, do not use it. Call the company; discuss replacement or repair at company’s expense.

A recall is a goodwill gesture; it is also an injury/death preventing necessity. Unfortunately, there will be people who will not hear or read about this serious defect and recall. What happens if they suffer a serious shock? They may be able to sue the maker of these products for defective manufacturing.

After they become embroiled in contentious litigation, what will they do to pay their bills? They are not working; they are at home recovering from their injuries. How will they survive? They could contact a legal funding company to find out more information about pre-settlement funding. Asking for a lawsuit cash advance is a smart strategic move for the plaintiff; it restores financial security while they wait for their case to be resolved.

The litigation funding company will issue a lawsuit cash advance within 24 to 48 hours if the plaintiff qualifies. This money goes directly to their bank account; victims use it to pay important bills and expenses while waiting for justice. Have you received an inadequate offer of settlement? Tell the insurance company to take a hike! Litigation funding has removed the financial pressure to settle early and cheap. Why not call a legal finance company and find out more?

One never expects an accident to happen, especially on a job you have been doing for years. Unfortunately though, accidents can and do happen without warning. In this case, one man was seriously injured and another killed while on the job at a Pepsi warehouse.

The two men were at work in the warehouse when a robotic lift system that moved completely loaded palettes, suddenly collapsed. It was 20 feet up in the air and fully loaded at the time. The palette crashed to the ground, crushing one man instantly and leaving the second one with life threatening leg wounds.

When EMS crews got to the scene, they extracted the one man still alive and rushed him to the hospital for immediate emergency care. The other man was lifted out of the area shortly after. Those on scene wondered why the men were in the area where the arm was in operation, as this was not permitted. A preliminary investigation revealed that the arm was undergoing maintenance when it collapsed. This, of course, raises the question as to why it was operating while the men were working on it.

OSHA officials plan to make a trip to the facility to try and determine the cause of the collapse. There may be safety violations identified at a later date. In the meantime, two families have been seriously affected by the death and the injury of a loved one.

The family of the deceased worker may wish to file a wrongful death lawsuit; the injured worker may pursue a personal injury case. The investigation may result in a finding of negligence. Was the arm defective? Did someone else trigger it while the men were in the area? Was there an electrical malfunction? Were both men operating according to the safety rules? Were there safety rules in place to deal with maintenance of the arm? Why was it in operation while the men were working on it?

There are many unanswered questions, but one question that is not without an answer is how would either of these families find the funds they need to pay their bills and still make it to trial? The answer is, either one of them could apply for lawsuit funding and get an emergency lawsuit cash advance to tide them over until they get justice.

Lawsuit funding is easy to apply for. Just complete a one-page, online application form or a call a toll free number. If a plaintiff has a solid case, pre-settlement funding is available within 24 to 48 hours. This is a no-hassle process, worth checking into if you are a cash-strapped plaintiff and need money to pay your bills while you wait for your case to be resolved.
