Any number of conditions might create property owner liability if a slip and fall accident occurs – defective stairs or walkways, ice or snow covered walkways, improper lighting, fallen debris, items in pathway, wet floors without “wet floor” caution signs, falling merchandise. The possibilities are endless, but regardless of the cause of the slip and fall accident, the legal responsibility of the store will depend on whether it had, or should have reasonably had, notice of the unsafe condition and failed to take prompt action to fix the problem.

Retaining an attorney and filing a lawsuit is only the beginning. Compensation sought could be months, even years away and for a seriously injured or disabled person, one not working as a result of an accident, the financial impact can be devastating. The problem for plaintiffs is that it is sometimes difficult to prove who is at fault, so the litigation process can drag on far beyond a victim’s finances. When this happens, plaintiffs with a strong case can seek litigation funding to pay living expenses while awaiting the outcome of their case.

Litigation funding is not a loan, but rather an advance against the future proceeds of lawsuits. Unlike a bank loan, you only repay our cash advance if, and when, you win your lawsuit. Additionally,
• You make no monthly payments on the pre-settlement advance.
• Your personal credit situation is not a factor nor will it be affected in any manner. Good credit or bad, it doesn’t matter.
• You can receive cash in as little as 24 hours.

Litigation Funding Corporation has helped hundreds of victims over the years level the playing field against large insurance companies. We may be able to help you, too. Have you been injured in a slip and fall accident, retained an attorney, and struggling to make ends meet? Before becoming discouraged about your financial situation, contact Litigation Funding Corporation for a FREE no obligation evaluation to see how much money you may be eligible to receive. Remember, if you lose your case, you owe NOTHING!

The alleged incident happened at a Winter Haven McDonald’s drive-thru.  Howard Carl Wilson was arrested for simple battery, but the charges could be more serious.  The McDonald’s in question uses the side-by-side ordering system.  Once a vehicle orders, they merge with the other vehicles placing orders at the other station.  The police allege the driver became upset after he was caught off by the other driver.  The suspect allegedly would not allow the person to close the door, yelled racial slurs and profanities, and punched the other driver.  The suspect then allegedly left the scene and was arrested later at his home for simple battery, a 1st degree misdemeanor.  This crime is punishable by up to a year in jail.

The charges could become more serious.  Because the alleged victim was in their vehicle at the time of the alleged battery, the suspect could be charged with burglary of a conveyance with a battery.  What does that mean in plain language?  Anytime you break into a home or vehicle with the intent to commit a crime inside the home or vehicle, that is a burglary.   A vehicle is a “conveyance”.  If you break into a vehicle (a conveyance) and assault or batter (hit) someone,  it is a 1st degree felony punishable by up to term of years not exceeding life imprisonment.  That means a judge could sentence the person to any amount of years, such as 1,000 years in prison, but not give a life sentence.  As you can see, this is potentially a very serious crime!

The police will turn their evidence over to the prosecutor.  An “intake” prosecutor will review the video and speak to the witnesses and determine what charges will be formally filed.  That means the crime charged could change from a misdemeanor to a more serious felony.  This is why it is important that you hire a criminal defense lawyer immediately so that the attorney can start working for you and explain to the prosecutor why more serious charges should not be filed!  In some cases, a criminal defense lawyer can convince a prosecutor to not even file charges.

If you have been arrested, speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney immediately.  

The consultation is FREE so there is no reason not to call immediately to protect your rights and your future!
