The parents of the deceased truck driver filed a wrongful death suit alleging that the 18-year-old was negligent through her failure to maintain the lane and for attempting an improper pass. In her response to the suit, the teen said she was trying to pass the truck, but the truck driver sped up. While she admitted to the manner of the accident, the teen denied any responsibility. The wrongful death claim seeks $10 million to recover the full value of their daughter’s, another 60-plus years, as well as compensation for medical, funeral and burial expenses, attorney fees, and pain and suffering.

A wrongful death lawsuit can not only be emotionally draining, but can leave family members financially strapped. While Litigation Funding Corporation can’t bring back a loved one, we can put an end to the financial worries while plaintiffs wait for a settlement.

Best of all, a lawsuit cash advance is non-recourse meaning that if you end up losing your case, you owe us nothing! We only get paid back if, and when a successful recovery is made.

If you lost a loved one because of the negligence or liability of another and have filed a wrongful death lawsuit, don’t wait another minute. Fill out our litigation funding application or give us a call to start the process.

A head on collision between a Ford Taurus and a pick-up truck resulted in the death of a 33-year-old Arkansas woman. The accident happened when the driver of the pick-up truck suddenly lost control, crossed into the turn lane, then into the inside westbound lane before swerving into the outside westbound lane and hitting the Taurus head-on. The woman was killed instantly; two children, an 8- and 11-year old, in her car were not seriously injured. All involved were wearing seat belts. An investigation is ongoing, but it is currently unclear why the truck driver lost control of his vehicle. Was he distracted or was there a mechanical failure or defect?

When life is taken by negligence and irresponsible actions of another, no words can supply sufficient comfort to those who have lost a loved one. No matter how this investigation concludes, negligence can be a difficult concept to understand as well as to prove. It is imperative that the family of the deceased woman seek legal advice from an experienced attorney as soon as possible. They may be able to receive compensation for the wrongful death of their loved one and claim damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, medical bills, and funeral and burial expenses. Unfortunately, the family may be unable to pay the bills and additional expenses associated with the accident until a settlement is reached. In such a situation, they can turn to a lawsuit cash advance, known as litigation funding.

There are no costs or fees associated with a funding application. There are also no monthly payments, credit checks, or employment verification. We review and approve requests for funding based on the strength of the case. All we require is a completed application and case documentation. If approved, Litigation Funding Corp. will wire money into a client’s account within 24 – 48 hours. When the case settles, we are repaid from the proceeds of the settlement, but if the case is lost, the lawsuit cash advance is waived in its entirety. Where else can you obtain a risk-free “lawsuit loan”?

If you are in a pending lawsuit and struggling to make ends meet, Litigation Funding Corp. may be able to provide you the freedom to wait for the highest possible settlement. Apply online or call or by calling one of our funding specialists for a free, no-obligation consultation.

According to police, the driver of a Jeep Liberty was speeding when he came upon road debris. Swerving to avoid hitting it, he slammed into a pick-up truck. Unfortunately, that began a chain-reaction. The pick-up truck in turn hit a Ford Taurus sending it into a guardrail before overturning. The drivers of the Liberty and pick-up truck escaped with minor injuries; the driver of the Taurus suffered several broken bones and a traumatic brain injury.

Victims of this auto accident should contact an experienced attorney to determine their rights. They may be entitled to financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any other damages related to the accident. The unfortunate aspect of road debris claims is proof; the plaintiff must prove that the debris was the cause of the accident; there must be proof that the accident would not have otherwise occurred. Often times, these types of lawsuits will take more time than a plaintiff can financially withstand. Someone else’s poor judgment should not force victims into debt. For plaintiffs in need of financial assistance, litigation funding may be helpful.

Litigation funding is a no-risk solution for any financially-strapped plaintiff. Poor credit? No worries! No job? No worries! No money to make monthly payments? No worries! The only condition to receive funding is a case with merit.

If you have been harmed in an accident caused by debris in the street, you may be able to receive financial compensation from the party responsible. Once you have filed a lawsuit, you may be entitled to litigation funding. The process begins with completing a one-page application upon which time Litigation Funding Corp. will contact your attorney for case documentation. If your request for funding is approved, a contract is executed and cash can be available within 24 – 48 hours. Repayment is made once your case successfully settles; if you lose your case, repayment is completely waived.

If you are a plaintiff in a pending lawsuit, have fallen on tough financial times, and need cash to pay the bills, call Litigation Funding Corp. We would be happy to review your case and determine if litigation funding is right for you.

The 68-year-old woman was driving her Honda Accord when she stopped or slowed down near the traffic light. Police said that shortly thereafter a Ford Taurus slammed into the back of the woman’s vehicle at a high rate of speed.

The collision caused the woman to incur severe injuries and also caused a small fire to erupt in the car. Attempts to free the woman from the flaming vehicle by nearby civilians were unsuccessful. Fire crews eventually freed the woman from her car, but she later died at the hospital as a result of her injuries.

Atlanta police have not released information regarding the driver of the Taurus, nor whether he will face any charges.  He was reportedly injured in the accident, though not severely.

Unfortunately, while the exact facts regarding the collision have not yet been released, it appears as though the second driver may have been distracted or otherwise not paying attention to the road. This seems to be the most plausible explanation for why he would slam into the already stopped car in front of him at such a high rate of speed. Collisions where one vehicle is already stopped and the second vehicle, be it car or truck, crash at full speed often, if not always, result in fatality.

Georgia law holds liable any party that breaches a legal duty which results in personal injury. Negligent motorists are subject to liability when their reckless driving results in an accidental injury or death. The fault attaches due to the fact that this failure to exercise due caution was the direct cause of harm.

Additionally, and potentially relevant in this case where a fire was ignited, auto makers can be held liable when a defective vehicle or part injures the consumer. Examples of potential products liability cases against manufacturers include claims of a flaw in the product’s assembly, model, or design. Whatever the problem, manufacturers are strictly liable when they fail to repair the defect or warn consumers of attendant dangers.

Serious crashes involving multiple parties and insurers require legal acumen and advocacy in order to ensure the best potential outcome. If you have been injured, or a loved one has been killed, in a car accident caused by another person’s negligent conduct, you should contact an experienced Atlanta car accident attorney as soon as possible. Attorney Stephen Ozcomert is a knowledgeable personal injury attorney with over 20 years of experience,  skilled at representing individuals and families who have been injured in Atlanta and elsewhere in Georgia as a result of the negligent or reckless driving by others.
