When a careless or negligent driver causes an accident, victims can suffer serious injury or even death. The at-fault driver can be held responsible for damages suffered by the victims. Damages can include medical expenses, pain and suffering and wages lost because of the victim not being able to work.

In the aftermath of an auto accident, financial hardship can occur especially for those unable to earn an income; expenses can pile up in the form of medical costs, funeral and burial expenses and more. Securing auto accident litigation funding could help alleviate some of the financial strain during a pending lawsuit.

Litigation funding differs from traditional loans in several ways. First of all, credit standing and employment history do not matter. Additionally, there are no monthly payments. In fact, repayment is only made if, and when, a settlement is reached. If a plaintiff fails to recover damages, the “lawsuit loan” is not repaid at all. Once a client is approved for funding, Litigation Funding Corporation can provide the cash advance within 24 – 48 hours. There are absolutely no restrictions on how the money is used.

Have you or a loved one been involved in auto accident where another party is at fault? Do you have an attorney? Are you suing for damages? Consider auto accident litigation funding to help you with finances until your settlement is received. For more information, contact Litigation Funding Corporation today!

That’s what makes a recent fatality incident that occurred in Shelby County, Kentucky on September 9, 2013 even more tragic. Two men — Jamaal Wood and Charles Burtt, had stopped to check on the drivers of vehicles involved in an accident where a semi sideswiped a box truck, and then went into the median with a third vehicle. While Mr. Wood and Mr. Burtt were outside their vehicles and in the act of trying to help, another tractor trailer hit both of their stopped vans, killing both men.

To add even more misery to this tragedy, Mr. Wood was a brand new father. And, Mr. Burtt’s wife, who was in the Burtt vehicle, witnessed her husband getting hit.

Both Mr. Wood and Mr. Burtt were truly Good Samaritans, who saw others in need, and tried to lend a hand. Unfortunately, they both paid the ultimate price for their acts of kindness.

The Lietz Law Firm has handled cases in the past where commercial vehicles have hit vehicles stopped along the side of the road, injuring and killing people. Usually, such collisions are caused by acts of negligence on the part of drivers who drift out of the travel lanes to hit vehicles stopped on the shoulder.
