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?

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.

Some states follow what is called a “pure contributory negligence” rule. This means that if the pedestrian contributed in the slightest bit to the accident, then he and his auto insurance company cannot recover damages from the driver and his auto insurance company. Other states follow a “comparative fault” rule. This means that a pedestrian can recover some damages even if he was partly at fault.

If you can prove that you suffered a loss and that the injury was a direct result of the driver’s negligence, you may be able to receive financial compensation for your losses. But, insurance companies will typically try to reach a quick settlement and limit recovery to the lowest possible amount, before you retain an attorney. Avoid the trap of agreeing to settle too early for too little. Always consult with an attorney first; there may be future medical expenses, lost wages, and additional damages that you do not know about or did not consider.

Once you file a lawsuit, how will you pay your bills while you wait for your settlement? It’s easy, with our pedestrian accident litigation funding.

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.

Often times, lawsuits take months, even years to resolve. Unfortunately, while an attorney is building the plaintiff’s case, the monthly bills will continue to arrive. Neither injury nor disability stops creditors from wanting to be paid. Defendants are financed by large insurance companies; their lawyers know the litigation game. They know many plaintiffs are often strapped for cash; they delay the case, exhaust those limited resources, and force plaintiffs deeper into debt. The more desperate a plaintiff becomes, the better the defendant likes it. Then, the defendant makes a low-ball offer.

While a plaintiff’s attorney says it is unfair compensation and hang in there for proper justice, that doesn’t pay the immediate medical expenses, mortgage/rent obligations, car payments, and monthly bills. Most plaintiffs won’t qualify for a bank loan, and typically friends and family can’t help. In times like this, plaintiffs don’t have to let the fact that the bills are becoming past due force them to settle for less than the compensation deserved. They don’t have to let it wreak havoc on their credit. Litigation funding can be the answer to level the playing field and staying in the game.

Litigation funding can provide cash now for your important bills and expenses (mortgage, rent, food, transportation, medical/hospital treatment, etc.) while giving your attorney the time he needs to get you full and fair compensation. Applying for lawsuit funding is free and easy. Once approved, funds can be available within 24-48 hours. Once the money is received, you can use it anyway you wish although it is typically meant to pay important bills such as medical expenses, the mortgage/rent, car payments, and daily living expenses. Litigation funding is also risk-free; it does not need to be repaid until you win your case, and if you lose, you owe nothing. Therefore, it places less financial pressure on you to settle for less than full case value.

If you are in a pending personal injury litigation, don’t give up because of financial pressures. Investigate the litigation funding services from Litigation Funding Corporation. Together with your attorney, we will work hard to get you appropriate justice.

While waiting for your lawsuit to make its way through the legal system, you will most likely still have medical bills to pay. You may also face other financial constraints. Life does not stop because you’re involved in a lawsuit and it does not wait for a settlement to be reached. If you simply cannot endure a long litigation process, you may wish to apply for lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is cash “now” to cover your living and other pressing expenses while you wait for your case to be resolved. There are no up-front fees and no risk. If you lose your case, you are under no obligation to repay the cash advance. There is also no convoluted application process to get approved. If you have attorney representation and a strong case, you are already eligible for lawsuit funding. The application takes less than five minutes, and we do the rest. This type of financing is not provided against assets; rather it is against the potential settlement of the case. That means there is no need for a credit check or employment verification. You could receive financial assistance within 24 – 48 hours.

Lawsuit funding may not be the ideal solution for everyone, but it is worth considering if you are in a tight spot financially due to a medical misdiagnosis claim that may not be on the same timeline as your finances, Litigation Funding Corporation may be able to help combat mounting bills during a potentially long legal battle.

The victim was driving on Interstate 35 in North Branch when he swerved to avoid hitting a deer in his lane, according to the Minnesota State Police. His vehicle rolled several times, and the man was ejected. He was lying in the middle of one of the lanes when he was struck and killed by another vehicle. According to the lawsuit, the driver that hit him was a Pine County investigator in his work vehicle, following another vehicle too closely as they approached the rollover crash scene. When the first driver slowed, the negligent driver moved to the left to pass. That’s when he hit the man lying in the road, killing him instantly. The lawsuit seeks damages in excess of $50,000.

The litigation process is often quite complex and takes a long time to settle. This causing immediate and sometimes long-term financial problems for families. A financially desperate plaintiff is not in a favorable position regarding settlement negotiations; this person will often settle for too little, too soon.

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.

A man went to the hospital in February 2010 with slurred speech; he was confused and disoriented. It was the fourth and most severe such episode he had experienced in eight months. The man was admitted to intensive care and underwent a CT scan and MRI. The neurosurgeon believed the patient may have been suffering from hydrocephalus, which is potentially fatal. The patient was monitored for 24 hours, at which time the neurosurgeon concluded that the patient did not have pressure or fluid on the brain; the infection that developed had resolved. He was released from the hospital five days later. Three months later, his 11-year-old daughter found him dead in bed. The medical examiner determined that the cause of death was fluid on the brain. He left behind a wife and three young children.

The family filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the doctor claiming that he should have placed a shunt or drain in her husband’s brain and that he was negligent for failing to do so. The jury agreed and awarded a $4.2 million verdict. The amount was lowered to $1.87 due to state caps. The doctor appealed the decision. The higher court agreed with the doctor stating that the decision was based on insufficient and unsupported evidence and that it should be overturned. Specifically, they stated that the plaintiff failed to prove that the doctor was negligent and that this led directly to the patient’s death.

Most likely, the medical expenses alone left this family financially strapped. When a plaintiff is dealing will the loss of income and mounting unpaid bills, litigation funding can be the emergency cash needed to get through the litigation process, including an appeal. Once case documentation is reviewed and the strength of the case determined, approvals can be available within 24 – 48 hours. No money is owed until the case successfully settles, at which time repayment is made from the proceeds of the case. The most attractive part about lawsuit funding is that if the case is lost, as happened on appeal in this case, repayment is completely waived.

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.

The man went to the ER in January 2013 where a doctor determined he had an abscess in his tonsils and arranged for the patient to see an ear, nose and throat specialist. Then, the ER doctor decided to do a further evaluation under sedation, but the man lost consciousness and died.

According to the lawsuit, the doctor not only performed an unnecessary procedure, but failed to properly evaluate the patient’s airway for any risks prior to the sedation. “His airway was narrowed by his swollen tonsils and he became unable to breathe due to a lack of oxygen, became unconscious and died,” said the family attorney. The lawsuit also claimed that there was no anesthesiologist present and the amount of sedation was too much.

The man’s widow said she hopes improvements have been made at the health center to ensure other families do not go through the same tragedy.

This case is a perfect example as to the time it takes between filing a lawsuit and reaching a settlement — time that often causes financially difficult for plaintiffs. When the ability to wait for compensation is not an option, pre-settlement lawsuit funding may be.

Pre-settlement lawsuit, a cash advance based on the predicted outcome of a case, can help pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, and any other outstanding bills while waiting for the case to settle. Lawsuit funding is often referred to as a lawsuit loan, yet is quite different. There are no credit checks, employment verification, or monthly payments. Receiving funding is based solely on the strength of the case. Most importantly, lawsuit funding is risk-free.

The lawsuit cash advance is provided in return for a promise to repay after the lawsuit settles or the jury rules in the plaintiff’s favor. If the lawsuit is lost and the court rules in favor of the defendant, there is no obligation to pay back the advance.

Those who apply for a lawsuit funding are often approved, and receive the funds within 24-48 hours. If you are a plaintiff in a pending lawsuit, don’t let the process wreak havoc on your financial situation. Let Litigation Funding Corporation help you fight for restitution for as long as it takes to win.

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.

The victim filed a lawsuit against the property manager Lakeview Associates Inc. and property owner LA Burling LLC in July 2013, alleging maintenance officials failed to inspect and repair the defective balcony so it would not give way under an individual’s normal use and failed to warn invitees of its dangerous condition.

Both defendants contended that the victim either knew or should have known the railing was not intended to support his weight. The case was mediated in December 2014, but a settlement could not be reached. During the litigation process, it was discovered that maintenance crews painted over the railing’s rust at least five year prior to the incident. Lakeview later admitted negligence, although LA Burling denied all allegations throughout the litigation. Two days into the trial, the case settled for $4.5 million, the largest porch collapse settlement in Illinois history, according to a news release.

“If the property owners had properly maintained the balcony, and ensured that it was up to code, our client would not have suffered the injuries he did,” Patrick A. Salvi II said in the news release. “I hope this case can serve as a reminder to property owners and managers that safety must always be a priority.”

Litigation is costly and timing consuming; this case took three years to reach a settlement. The victim was seriously injured, he faced numerous surgeries and seeking a college degree was put on hold. He may have been left in a devastating financial situation, especially with mounting medical expenses and the inability to obtain an income. Although his case ultimately settled, he may have struggled financially for years.

In any lawsuit, it is not only important for a victim to win his/her case, but it is equally important to maintain financial stability without settling too early, for too little. This may be possible by securing lawsuit funding against their pending lawsuit. When someone is seeking a settlement advance for a personal injury claim, they oftentimes use the funding to help pay for associated expenses, such as medical bills or tuition costs. Funding can also be used as leverage, allowing their attorney extra time to negotiate a fair settlement.

A lawsuit cash advance is based only on the merits of the case and not on credit standing. Repayment would occur if, and only if, recovery was made in the case. The application process is quick and easy, and can be done online. Once approved, funding can be available for use in 48 hours or less. Call Litigation Funding toll free, 1-877-377-SUIT (7848) or visit us online. A representative would be happy to answer any questions or assist you with processing your application.

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.

Hopefully the authorities will find the person responsible for this accident. Meanwhile, the victim will still have to pay his medical expenses and meet other financial obligations. There may be an extra financial burden if he is unable to return to work.

A serious accident like this can lead to inevitable financial costs for the victim, let alone the emotional and psychological trauma that might accompany the accident. Whether or not the victim can pursue the negligent party, because he/she is found, or whether he pursues the case as an uninsured motorist case, if money is tight one solution is to secure lawsuit funding. This is a lawsuit cash advance now in exchange for a portion of the future proceeds of the case. Eligibility is based on a strong case and attorney representation on a contingency basis. If approved for funding, the money can be used to help cover medical expenses, household bills or anything the plaintiff wishes. We do not restrict how the money is used.

Lawsuit funding is available by phone or online, without the need for a credit check, employment verification, or monthly payments. In fact, no payment is made until the case settles. We are only repaid once the case is concluded, either by settlement or otherwise. Repayment is excused if you lose.

Do you have a personal injury lawsuit case pending? Are you in need of fast cash? In the right situation, for the right plaintiff, lawsuit funding is clearly a service that plaintiffs should consider at a strategic time in the litigation. Call Litigation Funding Corporation to learn how a lawsuit cash advance may be able help you seek the justice you deserve.

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.

A 26-year-old man was driving a Subaru Outback eastbound on the expressway when he apparently lost control of the vehicle and crossed the grassy median. The Outback went airborne and struck two westbound vehicles, a BMW and a Honda. the driver of the Honda was also pronounced dead at the scene. An 81-year-old passenger in the BMW died at the hospital; his wife remains in critical condition.

The driver of the Outback and a passenger, his sister, were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver’s 10-year-old son was airlifted to a nearby hospital in critical condition, but he could not be saved. His three-year-old niece was injured, but survived the crash. The family members were on their way to the Splish Splash water park for the child’s 10th birthday party.

Multiple car crashes happened every day, leading to serious injuries and deaths. One of the most common causes is the result of speeding. Seriously injured victims or family members of lost loved ones may have the right to compensation. It is important to consult an experienced auto accident attorney.

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.

The family of an elderly woman who died in January 2015, is suing the nursing home entrusted with her care.

According to the lawsuit, a nursing assistant was changing the bed sheets with the bedrails pulled down when the patient fell off the bed. The suit alleges the woman was seriously injured, yet nursing home workers failed to provide proper medical attention and did not notify the woman’s family for three hours. The lawsuit also contends that despite the patient being a large woman, requiring two nursing assistants to move her, only one assistant was present at the time of the fall.

The patient’s daughter claims that despite her mother being totally unconscious and non-responsive, workers cleaned her up and put her back in bed. It wasn’t until family took the woman to the hospital that they learned she was not only covered in bruises on her head and shoulders, but she also suffered a broken hip. The woman died a month later.

According to the family’s attorney, there was a video camera outside the woman’s door, but the video recording has been deleted.

“We know that there was a video in the hallway that showed the certified nursing assistant and the nurse going in and out of the room and their state of mind,” said attorney Steve Watrel. “I’ve learned in the discovery process so far that the facility has destroyed that videotape, and we believe it’s an effort to hide what happened and hide who’s accountable.”

Nursing home lawsuits usually take years before a settlement is reached. With bills continuously adding up, the ability to wait for a fair settlement may not be an option without the help of Litigation Funding Corporation.

With litigation funding, plaintiffs can pay medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, cover daily household expenses, or any purchase needed. There are no restrictions on how the lawsuit cash advance is used. Because lawsuit funding is not a traditional loan, factors such as employment history and financial standing are not required.

The money is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning it does not have to be repaid in the event of a lost case. Once the determination has been made to provide funding, cash can be made available in as little as 24-hours.

A medical malpractice lawsuit has been filed by a Connecticut woman after the wrong rib was removed during surgery. According to the suit, Deborah Craven was scheduled to have her eighth rib removed due to a lesion that was causing intense pain. The lawsuit alleges that the rib was marked by radiologists with metallic coils and a marking dye meant to avoid confusion. However, after surgery, Craven was still in pain so an x-ray was performed. It appears that despite the precautions, a surgeon-in-training who was allowed to conduct the surgery, removed the wrong rib and left the metal coils inside of her. To add insult to injury, the suit alleges the surgery then tried to cover up his mistake. The lawsuit explains that Dr. Anthony Kim, who did not partake in the surgery, informed Craven of the mistake and scheduled her in for follow-up surgery. However, the doctor who operated, Dr. Ricardo Quarrie, told Craven that the second surgery was necessary because not enough of the rib had been removed during the first surgery. The lawsuit names Yale-New Haven Hospital, as well as Yale Medical Group in Connecticut, Yale University and two physicians as defendants.

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.

If a plaintiff does not have savings, assets that can be easily liquidated, or another source of income that can be easily accessed, litigation funding may be an option. With a lawsuit cash advance in hand, plaintiffs can work with their attorneys to build a powerful case and wait for a larger, fairer settlement that pays for more of their lost income, damages, medical costs, and other expenses. Unlike other forms of traditional financing, litigation funding is non-recourse. This means that the lawsuit cash advance only needs to be repaid if, and when, a plaintiff wins the lawsuit or settles out of court. If the case is lost, repayment of the cash advance is waived.

To be eligible for funding requires attorney representation and a winnable case. The application process does not include a credit check or employment verification. Once an application is received, we review case documentation from your attorney, and if approved, a wire transfer or direct deposit of funds will be made within 24 – 48 hours. It is that simple!

It is important to note that while litigation funding can be an important source of emergency cash, it is also a costly. A lawsuit cash advance should only be used in cases where money is absolutely necessary – maintaining your home, car, and daily living expenses. It should not be used to buy luxuries. So carefully consider whether you are really in need of the money before you make a decision to apply for lawsuit funding. If you would like a free, no-obligation consultation, contact Litigation Funding Corporation at 1.866.LIT.FUND.

Litigation funding is a financial transaction that assists plaintiffs dealing with the financial struggles that come with a lengthy litigation process. The plaintiff sells a portion of the future proceeds of his/her lawsuit in exchange for immediate cash. Creditworthiness is not a factor in the approval process, nor is employment history. Unlike most other forms of financing, such as a bank loan or credit card cash advance, lawsuit funding also does not require monthly payments. Instead, repayment is made once the case settles and the funds disbursed. Litigation funding is provided risk-free; if the funded plaintiff fails to win the lawsuit, the cash advance does not need to be paid back.

Litigation Funding Corporation has provided hundreds of lawsuit cash advances for automobile accident claims. In order to obtain funding, all you need is attorney representation and a strong case with merit.

If you think a lawsuit cash advance may be your best option to stay financially afloat during your pending claim, contact Litigation Funding Corporation or complete our online application. Our online application takes less than five minutes to complete. Once we receive your application we will contact your attorney for information to determine the strength of the case and applicable funding. Our goal is to do what is in your best interest and provide you with funding within 24 – 48 hours.

With a simple phone call or by completing an online application, we can provide a cash advance in as little as 24 hours. The money allows plaintiffs to cover general living expenses, medical bills and other immediate needs. After receiving a funding application, we will call the plaintiff’s attorney to request information on the case. Based upon documentation provided, Litigation Funding Corporation will estimate the value of the likely settlement or verdict, and offer a cash advance based upon that estimate. If the plaintiff accepts the cash advance, we will draft a contract for signature. Once signed, funds are sent via direct deposit or overnight mail. The entire process can done through phone, fax, or e-mail. When the case settles, the cash advance and associated fees are repaid. Best of all, there is no repayment obligation if the case is lost.

One important thing to note is that although lawsuit funding is an excellent financial tool, this type of financing should be used as a last resort, after all other funding options are exhausted. If achieving a settlement seems like eternity, you need cash in the interim and have nowhere else to turn, give us a call or fill out our online application.

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.

Pros
• Immediate financial assistance when you need it most. Pay immediate bills and expenses – mortgage, rent, auto payments, medical bills, daily household expenses; stop creditor calls.
• Quick turnaround time – typically within 24 – 48 hours
• The only requirements when seeking lawsuit funding is to have an ongoing case and retain an attorney.
• No need for a credit check. Unlike a bank loan, bad credit doesn’t matter.
• No need for employment verification
• No need to be pressured into an early, smaller settlement. Litigation funding allows you to fight for compensation you deserve.
• No risk to you. Funding is on a non-recourse basis meaning that the repayment obligation is contingent on you winning the case. Lose and the repayment is waived.
• Repayment comes from the settlement, not upfront and not through monthly payments.

Cons
• Litigation funding can be expensive. This is because the funding company assumes all the risk and must off-set any lose with higher rates.

If you are strapped for cash, do not settle for less than case value. Litigation Funding Corporation may be able to provide you the needed cash to wait for the legal system to do its job.

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.

While no amount of money will return bring these loved ones back, a reasonable award will help the families with funeral expenses, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering, and other expenses incurred due to this tragedy.

With a solid lawsuit as collateral, these families have a good case for lawsuit funding. This emergency cash advance can keep them financially afloat until a settlement is reached. The application process takes five minutes, as there is no need for a credit check or employment verification. Once a case is approved for funding, the lawsuit cash advance can be available in less than 48 hours. There are no monthly payments; the advance is repaid once the case successfully settles.

Authorities said the young man was speeding and under the influence of controlled dangerous substances last summer when his Honda Civic slammed into a building. The lawsuit claims that his father should have known or knew about his son’s history of drunk driving. County records indicated that he was jailed on a marijuana distribution charge in November. His license had been previously suspended for stemming from a summons for driving under the influence.

In addition to naming the driver and his father, the suit seeks to hold responsible those who gave him the alcohol, as well as those who drank with him. The lawsuit alleges that before the accident, the driver was at the property of the unidentified defendants, and that he was already “visibly intoxicated” when those unnamed defendants continued to provide, share, and condone the consumption of alcoholic beverages and/or controlled, dangerous substances.

This lawsuit will most likely take a long time to settle because one passenger is dead, the other has no memory, and the driver is incompetent, making it difficult to determine what the driver did and with whom just before the crash. The cost of a funeral in itself can also be quite pricey. Medical bills can also lead to financial devastation. While these victims and their families did not cause this tragic situation, nonetheless it is one they are facing, and will continue to face for a long time.

Litigation funding is a quick and easy solution to alleviate financial stress after the wrongful loss or serious injury of a loved one. A lawsuit cash advance would allow the family precious time to wait for a fair and equitable settlement; if they desperately need money now, the only other alternative would be to settle a valuable case for pennies on the dollar to pay their bills. The only collateral required is a pending lawsuit. A plaintiff can apply for this non-recourse cash advance either online or over the phone; the process takes less than five minutes; approvals take 48 hours or less. Lawsuit funding is risk-free; repayment is contingent of the outcome of the case meaning if you lose, repayment is excused.

For any plaintiff who feels they cannot financially wait to seek justice in a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit, lawsuit funding may be the solution. Call Litigation Funding Corporation today for a free, no-obligation consultation.

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.

Litigation funding is a service that provides plaintiffs with financial assistance to help get through the long litigation process. Without this option, desperate plaintiffs are often forced to settlements too soon, for too little. Once the plaintiff is relived of financial pressures, his/her attorney can fight to obtain the maximum amount of compensation.

To obtain a lawsuit cash advance in the quickest and easiest manner, complete our online application. One of our representatives will contact you immediately and start the process. Once case documentation is reviewed and the strength of the case determined, approvals can be available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no up-front charges, no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no hassle.

We have helped many victims of medication negligence wait for the settlement or award that they deserved. If you or someone you love was injured by a careless health care professional, you have hired an experienced attorney and filed a lawsuit, and you need financial assistance until the case settles, contact Litigation Funding Corp. We may have the solution you need to stay financially afloat in hard times.

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.

Two wrongful death lawsuits were recently filed against the South Carolina Department of Transportation (S.C. DOT) alleging the state agency is responsible for a fatal motorcycle accident on International Drive. The lawsuit claims that the driver lost control and crashed where the pavement transitions from asphalt to coquina because the S.C. DOT did not provide proper signage to warn motorists of the change in the road conditions. The suits seek unspecified compensation and come amid a battle with the Coastal Conservation League and S.C. Wildlife Federation over paving International Drive to Highway 90, citing environmental concerns.

Maybe this unfortunate incident will directly force changes in in that stretch of road despite any environmental concerns. In the meantime, the challenge facing the plaintiffs is that the lawsuits could take months, even years to be resolved. They will not receive any compensation until they either reach an out-of-court settlement or win the case in court. Even if they win the case in court, appeals can further drag out the recovery. If the plaintiffs need financial support, Litigation Funding Corporation is here to help.

Rather than struggling financially during an already difficult time, we can offer a non-recourse cash advance against the future proceeds of the lawsuits. This means that such advances only are repaid if the plaintiffs win their case or reach an out-of-court settlement. If the case is lost or dismissed, the plaintiffs keep the lawsuit case advance and owe us nothing. With this immediate funding source, known as litigation funding, the plaintiffs to take care of financial obligations while giving their attorney the time needed to seek appropriate justice.

To receive a lawsuit funding cash advance, a plaintiff begins by completing a one-page application which takes less than five minutes. Unlike a bank loan, there is no need for a credit check, employment verification or monthly payments. We can approve cases for immediate cash in as little as 24 hours, provided we receive the necessary case documentation to determine case strength and make a funding decision. The only payment our clients make is when their case successfully settles. If the case is lost, the repayment is waived. For a free, no obligation consultation call us toll-free at 1-877-377-7848.

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.

The Alabama State Department of Health said four out of eight food samples from the items served during the lunch hour at two Sunny Side Daycare Center were positive for the Staphylococcus aureus toxin. The results of nine additional samples are still pending. Both daycare locations will remain closed until the investigation is complete. Overall, 86 children under the age of 10 sought treatment at area hospitals and 30 of those were hospitalized.

A daycare facility should be held accountable for hurting these children; it is only right for their parents to be properly compensated. The litigation process can be physically and emotionally draining for both the children and the parents. It may also be financially difficult especially with medical expenses. Litigation funding can help these victims fight for justice. With a lawsuit cash advance, they won’t have to be swayed by a tempting low settlement offer nor will they have to go through hassles that usually are involved with a traditional bank loan. Qualification for funding is based solely on the merits of the lawsuit. A reputable company charges no upfront fees and no monthly payments; there are no credit checks or employment verifications. Best of all, if the plaintiff loses his/her case the litigation funding company relinquishes the cash advance; the plaintiff owes nothing.

A lawsuit cash advance is easy to apply for either by phone or online. After case-evaluation, if approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. Call Litigation Funding Corporation or visit us online to find out how lawsuit funding can empower you to pursue your case to get the maximum settlement you deserve.

In March, a woman and her daughter filed a lawsuit against the city seeking $25,000 in damages, but the city is fighting back saying the woman is actually responsible for any liability because she signed a hold harmless agreement on behalf of her group. The city is asking a judge to dismiss the lawsuit and is seeking attorney fees. According to her attorney, “The city shirked its responsibilities to the public and to its customers. They charge for the hayride and yet they don’t meet their responsibilities. The safety, health and welfare of its riders are completely in the control the [city] and its employed driver on the hayride. With the significant responsibility of the safety of its passengers, the employer should take whatever steps necessary to assure safety…” A counterclaim says the woman did not have the authority to sign for the association. Five other victims have also filed lawsuits; the lawsuits may be consolidated.

Although a lawsuit can help the victims received compensation for damages, it will not be an easy road as the defendant attempts to the raise the doctrine known as assumption of the risk.

When the legal process is a long and bumpy road, litigation funding can help.

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.

After waiting over two years for the Connecticut Claims Commissioner to grant permission to sue, the man’s widow filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that state workers failed to ensure that the man was a safe distance from the work site. Under state statute, lawsuits brought against the state need the permission of the state to go forward. She was awarded over $1.3 million in January 2012 after a non-jury trial, a judge who ruled that the accident was foreseeable and the state liable, but attorneys for the state appealed stating that the accident was unforeseeable. The defense argued that the DOT work crew met the standard of reasonable conduct and the man was kept a reasonably safe distance from any and all reasonably foreseeable dangers. The decision was overturned by a panel of three justices of the Connecticut Appellate Court in August 2013.
An appellate lawyer for the plaintiff asked the state Supreme Court to hear the case and argued that the DOT didn’t even have a written policy or regulation concerning the appropriate distance to stand from a fallen tree. He also noted that no Connecticut court has ever held that an industry has the last word on the standards governing its own liability.

We all have the right to expect that our state and local government does everything possible to keep us safe on our roads, at construction sites, and more. We expect they have written policies and procedures and all employees are properly trained to protect the community. When the government and/or business fail to do so, lawsuits almost always result in safety improvements. Shielding corporations and government entities from liability or damages is not a solution. Holding those who create dangerous conditions (or allow known dangers to continue without public warning) accountable for their actions improves safety, saves lives, and prevents future harm.

Now, almost 10 years later, the suit is nearly finishing its journey through the state courts. We will wait and see the Supreme Court decision.

This case is a perfect example of the all-to-often, lengthy litigation process especially with an appeal. The death of a loved one leaves many not only in emotional turmoil, but financial distress. Burial costs are expensive and can costs thousands of dollars. The loss may also put a strain on regular monthly expenses like mortgage/rent, car payments, and ongoing monthly expenses. As a result, some people turn to litigation funding.

Legal funding companies offer pre-settlement funding and post-settlement funding to help plaintiffs survive financially while they wait for their awards. Pre-settlement litigation funding is provided by a lawsuit funding company to a plaintiff before a settlement or award, with the expectation that the plaintiff will ultimately receive compensation from the suit. Funding provides immediate access to money so the plaintiff can cover expenses while in litigation. Post-settlement funding occurs after an award has been made or a settlement reached in a lawsuit, but before the award or settlement is paid out. Some plaintiffs find that they require financial assistance because even when a settlement is reached, it can still take time for the payment to be made. A defendant could also appeal the court’s ruling, resulting in a long time before the award is paid out.

If you are involved in a wrongful death lawsuit and are considering litigation financing, Litigation Funding Corporation may be your solution. We understand that waiting out the long litigation process can be devastating especially with bills stacking up. Our legal funding services are based on a non-recourse base, meaning that we are only repaid if you win your case. Credit score and employment history are not factors in the funding decision; only the strength of your case matters. Even if your case is in appeal, we can help. Don’t struggle financially during your pending claim and don’t settle for less than you deserve when our services may be a valuable asset to you. Once we receive an application, most requests for cash advances are approved within 1 to 2 days after case documentation is received from your attorney. Don’t delay; call today!

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.

An attorney is essential in obtaining a reasonable and fair resolution in your auto accident case. A full recovery of compensation may include:

• medical & hospital expenses
• loss of wages
• physical therapy
• pain and suffering

But, filing a lawsuit is only the first step. How will you pay the bills while waiting for a settlement? During this time, finances should not be a pressing concern. You may need to concentrate on recovering from injuries and giving your attorney time to strengthen the merits of your case. Enter lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding is a way to obtain quick access to cash without the need for monthly payments, credit checks, or employment verification. Best of all, lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis. This means you will only be responsible for paying back the advance if you win your case. If you lose, you owe nothing. If you are currently in the process of an injury claim or lawsuit and interested in lawsuit funding against your case, contact us today. If approved, you could have cash as quickly as tomorrow.

The Wuths, both teachers, alleged that the Medical Center did not send Laboratory Corporation of America the information it needed to look for a genetic defect in the correct location – an oversight that resulted in the birth of a son, now 6 years old, with an IQ of less than 70 who cannot walk. The baby was born in 2008 with unbalanced chromosomal translocation. The problem can result in either missing genetic material or extra genetic material in a person’s DNA.

The result would have been entirely different had the hospital sent the correct information to the lab performing the tests. The couple chose to sue Valley Medical Center and the Laboratory Corporation of America for the wrongful birth of their son. Had they known about the condition in advance, they would have chosen to abort the fetus.

Their court case resulted in a $50 million jury settlement.

Some see wrongful death lawsuits as a travesty in justice and claim they demean and denigrate the value of human life. Interestingly, cases of wrongful birth are on the rise. The justice system often finds for the families who, through no fault of their own, end up facing millions of dollars in lifelong childcare because of a medical error.

The medical expenses the Wuth family faces are enormous, and paying those bills is a never-ending process. While waiting for their case to go to trial, they may have been struggling to keep up with the expenses, wondering how they would manage them in addition to their usual financial obligations. Even with an impaired family member requiring extraordinary levels of care, life must move forward.

The Wuths might have befitted from litigation funding, also referred to as a lawsuit loan or pre-settlement funding. Litigation funding assists plaintiffs in paying for medical expenses along with their mortgage, car loan, student loan, utilities and/or rent.

Applying for a lawsuit loan is a user-friendly process that only involves filling out an application online or filling one out on the phone with a staff member. The applicant must have a lawyer hired to begin the application process, and he or she needs to provide case details and an estimated award figure, calculated by the attorney of record.

Once the litigation funding company has the details of the case, it is reviewed quickly, with any funds approved sent to the plaintiff’s bank account within 48 hours. When the money arrives, the plaintiff may pay medical bills immediately and budget out the remainder for “usual” expenses, knowing they have funds to see them through until their case is resolved.

While litigation funding is not for everyone, it allows many people to know they do not need to worry about how to pay their bills while waiting for justice.

It wasn’t an easy decision, jurors said, but they eventually awarded a man $10 million, in a medical malpractice case against a hospital and the doctor who treated the patient. After of heart surgery, the patient was administered the blood thinner drug, Heparin. The lawsuit alleged that because the medical staff failed to monitor the patient he developed gangrene that required the amputation of his left leg above the knee and his right foot. The hospital argued that the doctor and nurses acted responsibly, provided appropriate care, and saved his life. An appeal is planned.

An amputation for any reason is life-altering; the amputee will need to learn how to do almost everything. When the amputation is the result of medical malpractice, the patient can file a medical malpractice lawsuit. It is important to seek justice not only to receive compensation to cover medical expenses, but also to hold the healthcare professionals accountable for their life-altering mistakes, promote hospital safety procedures, and prevent similar medical errors from happening to others. Any settlement should take into consideration the emotional aspects -learning to cope and negotiate with life’s challenges and the financial aspects of the loss, including the loss of income and present and future medical expenses such as prosthetic’s, treatment, and occupational therapy.

Amputation lawsuits are not necessarily cut and dry cases. Often times, the hospital and doctors will claim it was a “medical necessity.” While the case winds its way through the litigation process, patients can seek lawsuit funding.

Often, bills pile up while the plaintiff waits and waits for justice. Legal funding takes away the financial pressure to settle a valuable case for pennies on the dollar and assures that justice is done. Lawsuit funding is made available to qualified plaintiff’s to allow them to pay their urgent expenses immediately (medical bills, etc.) and to their “usual” bills, (rent, mortgage, car payments or tuition). All it takes to obtain a lawsuit cash advance is a strong case with merit and legal representation. With an easy, online application plaintiffs can received funding in as little as 24 hours. There is no charge to apply, no monthly payments, and no credit checks. Once approved for funding, fast cash is sent by wire or check. Then, pay the bills and wait for justice. The lawsuit cash advance will not need to be repaid until the case is settled, but if the funded client loses the case, the repayment is completely waived.

If you have lost a limb due to medical negligence, don’t lose your home and your credit standing. Call Litigation Funding Corporation for financial stability during your pending claim.

With litigation funding, you make no payments while your case is pending. There are no credit checks or employment verifications. The cash advance is provided solely on the strength of your case.

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.

A lawsuit can take years to settle, during which time a plaintiff may have financial needs that must be taken care of immediately, for things such as medical expenses, funeral and burial expenses, or ongoing living expenses. Financial pressures can force innocent victims to settle a case too soon, for too little. Before that happens, plaintiffs should consult with an experienced lawsuit funding expert. A legal funding company understands the financial situation facing plaintiffs and knows the lengths that insurance companies will go through to reach a less-than-favorable settlement offer.

By obtaining a lawsuit cash advance, the plaintiff has immediate access to money and is not required to pay the firm until a settlement is reached in her lawsuit. Funding is offered as non-recourse funding, which means that plaintiffs only pay the money back if they win their lawsuit or obtain a settlement. Lawsuits eligible for such funding typically involve personal injury or wrongful death.

If you are in a pending lawsuit and struggling financially, put the justice system to work for you. Use litigation funding to ease your financial burden and give your attorney the time needed to obtain full value in your case. An application can be done online or by phone. If approved, the emergency cash can be available within 24 – 48 hours.

In fact, numerous Florida doctors continue to practice even after being sued on multiple occasions. It is surprisingly rare for doctor’s license to be revoked solely on the grounds that he or she provided negligent medical care.

The deceased and the plaintiff in this story were a married couple, both doctors. When they were together with their family on a vacation in 2009, Dr. Susie Dunphy was diagnosed with appendicitis. She underwent emergency surgery. Two days later, she had bled to death.
Upon reading her medical file, her widower, Dr. James Dunphy, discovered that her death could have been prevented. Chart notations indicated that her blood pressure was dangerously low after surgery, but nothing was done to track down the reason for it. Dr. Dunphy filed a wrongful death and medical malpractice lawsuit against the surgeon for failing to adequately monitor his patient after surgery.

In this case, Dr. James Dunphy may have benefited from applying for litigation funding. Pre-settlement funding would carry him and his two children through the toughest financial straits until a settlement or trial was concluded.

A lawsuit loan is used for anything the qualifying plaintiff wishes. However, by the time a litigation funding applicant receives the lawsuit loan, he or she usually opts to pay urgent medical bills and save the rest for other pressing expenses.

Many plaintiffs in difficult financial situations find lawsuit loans an appealing solution. They do not need a credit check, do not pay any fees and are treated with the utmost respect on applying. Should the plaintiff lose the case, the lawsuit loan funds remain vested with him or her, with no strings attached.

A 53-year-old Milwaukee woman was recently awarded $25.3 million resulting from a medical malpractice lawsuit. On May 24, 2011, this mother of four was admitted to the hospital with acute abdominal pain accompanied by a fever. After spending nearly nine hours at the hospital, she was discharged and told to contact her gynecologist in the morning. Upon returning home, the woman collapsed and was taken to another hospital where she was diagnosed with a septic infection caused by Strep A. Due to the spread of infection, she needed all four limbs amputated to survive. The woman requires round the clock care; her future mobility will ultimately depend on her ability to adapt to prosthetic limbs.

According to the medical malpractice lawsuit, the doctors who treated the woman recognized signs of infection and included it in her diagnosis, but failed to share this information with the patient. The suit claims that a $25 antibiotic treatment could have prevented the septic infection. At the end of a three week trial, the jury awarded the woman $25.3 million, more than $8.2 million in past and anticipated health care costs and approximately $16.5 million consisted of non-economic damages. An appeal is expected.

This case is a perfect example where lawsuit funding could be useful. It has been over three years since the accident, and although an award was determined, this woman may still wait years to see her settlement if an appeal is filed. If facing financial burden during an appeal, lawsuit funding can still be a valuable resource.
Lawsuit funding approval is based 100% on the merit of the case and payment is only repaid when the case successfully settles. Because this cash advance is on a non-recourse basis, if the woman would lose her case on appeal, she would owe nothing. Additionally, there are no out-of-pocket costs, no credit checks and no need for employment verification. Once approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours.

If you or a loved one was seriously injured due to medical negligence or misdiagnosis and are in need of immediate cash until your lawsuit settles, consider lawsuit funding to maintain financial stability before, and after, you case settles.

The two drivers were killed in an auto accident on Monday when the driver of a pick-up truck crossed the center line into oncoming traffic, striking another truck head-on. Both drivers died due to multiple blunt force trauma. A passenger in the truck that was hit is listed in critical condition. Investigators so far have not identified the reason the driver crossed over.

Regardless of the reason the vehicle crossed the center line, victims in this type of accident may be eligible to file a lawsuit to recover damages. In most cases, the vehicle that goes into the wrong lane is at fault. Once a lawsuit is filed, they may apply for litigation funding.

Suffering the loss of a loved one is enough of a hardship; don’t succumb to a financial hardship as well. Litigation funding is a cash advance on the expected settlement to help victims pay immediate bills and other expenses, relieve financial obligations, but also handle future expenses until a settlement or verdict is reached.

There are no upfront fees and no monthly payments. Best of all, we offer a non-recourse cash advance meaning you don’t have to pay back the lawsuit funding unless you successfully win your case.

The only requirement for pre-settlement funding is legal representation and a strong case. There is no need for credit check or employment verification. Once a pre-settlement funding application is received, we work closely with the plaintiff’s attorney to obtain required documents on the case so we can properly review the facts and determine funding eligibility. If approved, a contract is prepared for client and attorney signature. Then, the funds can be wired directly to the client’s bank account or sent via overnight mail. There are no restrictions on how the cash advance is used, but most people will pay the mortgage/rent, car payments, medical bills, and daily living expenses. Pre-settlement funding is awarded on a non-recourse basis. The only payment made is when the funded client successfully settles the case. If for any reason the case is lost, repayment is waived.

Due to the high cost of this type of funding, pre-settlement lawsuit funding should be considered as a last resort; after all other funding options are exhausted. When you need money quickly, but the insurance company wants to stall the settlement hoping you settle for less, contact Litigation Funding Corporation. We offer a no-obligation consultation so you can determine if pre-settlement funding is appropriate for you and your 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.

Geralda Morales wanted to help her ill grandmother by donating a kidney to her. She was deemed a compatible match, and the operation took place in 2012. They did not know that Rodriguez was dying from terminal cancer that had not been properly diagnosed before the transplant operation.

According to court documents, Rodriguez was admitted to a hospital in 2012, complaining of headaches. Medical checks revealed an elevated blood pressure. A CT scan was ordered, and the radiologist noted the presence of temporal bone irregularities, often a signal of multiple myeloma (a cancer originating in the blood’s plasma cells, or another metastatic disease process).

In February 2012, a kidney transplant was performed to address her health issues. But in August 2012, doctors discovered that Geralda Rodiguez was terminally ill with multiple myeloma. Rodiguez died in January 2013 at the age of 66.

Her granddaughter sought legal counsel and filed a medical malpractice lawsuit, arguing that since her grandmother’s CT scan had suggested cancer, she should never have had the transplant operation.

Morales’ lawsuit alleges that the primary surgeon negligently failed to review her grandmother’s CT scan and sent the duo for the renal transplant operation. Ultimately, the suit suggests that the operation was useless in the face of fatal illness. Morales seeks compensation for physical impairment, loss of earning capacity, physical pain and mental anguish, and funeral and burial expenses.

The Morales family incurred large medical bills to assist a dying family member by donating a life-giving kidney. Had they known her grandmother was terminally ill with other medical issues, Morales may not have donated her organ.

The Morales family may wish to find out as much as they can about litigation funding. A pre-settlement loan is emergency funding sent to an approved plaintiff to help them get back on their feet financially. The lawsuit loan helps them pay their urgent bills, such as the ones from the hospital, and allows them to keep current with their other important financial obligations.

A lawsuit loan is not for everyone, but there are a number of benefits that plaintiffs do find appealing. No credit checks are necessary, and the plaintiff does not need to have a job when they apply. There are no up-front or monthly fees, and if the plaintiff loses his or her case in court, he or she keeps the money – no strings attached.

Proving negligence can be difficult therefore, it is important to consult an experienced medical malpractice attorney. If it is determined that a patient or a loved one was harmed due to the negligence of a healthcare professional, a medical malpractice lawsuit may be brought against the wrongdoer. The lawsuit may not only apply to the healthcare provider who performed the medical mistake, but to the hospital, doctors, anesthesiologists, nurses, and other medical staff, as well.

Although that may sound like an easy process, more often than not, doctors and hospitals refuse to accept blame for wrongdoing and negligence. They hire a legal team to deny, delay, and defend the claim for as long as possible. They also know that most plaintiffs do not have the financial staying power to wait out a lengthy litigation process. When faced with the financial burdens of mounting medical bills, rehabilitation or ongoing care, funeral and burial expenses, and lost wages, a plaintiff may consider a less-than-favorable settlement offer. The only winner is the billion-dollar insurance company. The good news is that there is an alternative. Pre-settlement lawsuit funding helps plaintiffs level the playing filed in order to seek a fair settlement.

Pre-settlement funding is immediate cash with no risk attached. How? It is a non-recourse cash advance against a pending claim. That means that if the plaintiff loses the case, there is absolutely no obligation to repay the cash advance. Additionally, there are no hidden costs; no application fees or monthly payments. There are no credit checks or employment verifications. When the financial worries are gone, plaintiffs can focus on recovering while their attorney focuses on seeking appropriate justice.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or you have lost a loved one due to medical malpractice and wish to apply for lawsuit funding, complete the online application or call Litigation Funding Corporation. Our one-page application and quick approval process enables approved plaintiffs to obtain emergency cash in 24 – 48 hours.

In August of 2013, a 34-year-old man sought medical treatment for stomach pain and was admitted to Merced Medical Center in Merced, California. He died later that night. A wrongful death lawsuit was filed on behalf of his surviving young children, ages 11, 3 and 2, alleging hospital negligence. The lawsuit claims the patient died as a result of hospital staff administering a lethal dose of hydromorphone, a type of morphine, and staff failed to check on him for at least several hours after administering the pain-killing medication. According to the toxicology report, which took seven months to come back, the official cause of death was “sudden cardiorespiratory arrest” due to “acute hydromorphone intoxication.” The report also noted that the patient was reportedly allergic to morphine. The mother of the children claims she was with her ex-husband when he advised hospital staff that he was allergic to morphine. The family is seeking unspecified financial damages for his wrongful death and the loss of financial care of the children. The hospital denies the charges and said that if negligence occurred, it was on the part of the patient, but a hospital spokesperson did not say how the patient may have been negligent.

Moving forward after a devastating loss is emotionally and financially draining for surviving family members. Medical malpractice cases, like this one, are long, drawn out, draining battles. Trying to make ends meet with ordinary cost of living expenses, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and the loss of income adds to the stress. When this happens, lawsuit funding may be a viable solution.

A legal funding company provides an advance based on its review of the case; a lawsuit cash advance is often approved with funding available within 24 – 48 hours. There are no up-front charges, no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no hassle. Best of all, repayment is contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit.
If you believe you or someone you love has been the victim of a prescription error or medication mistake, contact an experienced attorney. If you are seeking an attorney in your area, we would be happy to refer you to one from our nationwide database. Additionally, if you or your family is going through the emotional and financial stress from a medical malpractice or wrongful death, lawsuit funding may be the answer to help you through these times.

A construction worker was killed and another seriously injured after a large portion of a parking garage under construction collapsed, trapping the men under 55,000 pounds of concrete. There were approximately 20 workers at the garage at the time of the accident. An investigation is ongoing to determine what happened and if there was something wrong with the structure or the way it was taken apart that caused the collapse.

The families of these two men may want to talk to an experienced attorney who can help determine if negligence occurred, and if so, hold the negligent party responsible. The litigation process can take years especially if the insurance company is denying, delaying, and defending the claim. During this time, the victims may be struggling to pay medical and hospital expense, funeral and burial expenses, and ordinary household expenses, especially if the men were the sole breadwinners. Lawsuit funding provides short-term cash solutions to cover immediate financial needs and gives plaintiffs and their attorneys the time to pursue a case without financial risk. There are no monthly payments, no credit checks, and no employment verification. Approval of a lawsuit cash advance is based on the merit of the case only. When the case is settled, the plaintiff repays the cash advance, but if the plaintiff is us successful, the cash advance is waived in its entirety.

If you the victim of a construction site accident and need immediate cash while waiting for your case to settle, rather than accepting a less-than-favorable settlement offer, contact Litigation Funding Corp. The road to financial freedom is just click or phone call away.

Police have concluded that “failure to yield” to a dump truck was “the sole contributing factor” in an auto accident that took the life of a 15-year-old girl. The driver of the dump truck told police that three vehicles were waiting to make a left turn as he approached in the opposite direction. He said all three vehicles cut in front of him; he began to brake, but could not stop before hitting the third vehicle in which the teen was a backseat passenger. Her 16-year-old brother, a passenger in the front seat, was injured. The 16-year-old driver of the Chevy Blazer has been charged with misdemeanor death by vehicle. The three teens were on their way to school at the time of the accident.

Teens need to understand that their carelessness behind the wheel puts them and others at risk. While no amount of money can turn back the hands of time, the parents of the deceased and injured teens may want to consult an experienced attorney to understand their rights to compensation. If this fatal accident leads to a wrongful death lawsuit, it may take months, even years for a settlement to be reached even though it might be obvious that the teen driver was the one at-fault. Waiting for a settlement can take a long time, putting a family in financial ruin. Fortunately, lawsuit funding may be an option.

Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance against the future proceeds of the case. It is a means to ease the financial burden and give the plaintiff’s attorney the time needed to obtain full case value. The process to apply for a lawsuit cash advance is easy and it’s also free. If you qualify, funding can often be available in as little as 24 hours and is only repaid once the case successfully settles. When a case is lost, the repayment is waived.

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.

A cesspool cleaner was hired by a homeowner in December 2011 to clear a sewer system blockage, but when he lifted the sewer lid an explosion occurred, leaving the man with severe facial burns. Also seriously injured was the son of the homeowner, who was visiting his mother and helped the contractor lift the heavy lid.
The contractor filed a lawsuit alleging homeowner negligence for pouring a chemical cleaner in the toilet that caused a buildup of methane in the tank. That lawsuit sparked one by the homeowner’s son, who alleged the sewer guy “addressed the sewer system blockage in a negligent and careless manner.” He also named is mother as a defendant, which is legally required because she owned the property. According to his attorney, the man is not seeking monetary damages from his mother.

While the homeowner admits to using a chemical in the cesspool three days prior to the explosion, she and her son allege the cesspool cleaner also put in a chemical. The claim against the sewer worker contends that the man was struggling to remove the heavy lid with a large, metal pry bar. The friction between the metal tool and the stone lid apparently sparked the methane gas that had been building up from a clog in the sewer line. The suit also alleges the sewer contractor was operating a business without the proper training and required government licenses, and was “falsely representing himself to be knowledgeable, experienced, competent and highly trained in the field of sewer system repairs.”

Cases like this take time and incredible amounts of resources to reach a settlement. Burn victims suffer a great deal due to the time it takes to heal; some suffer emotional and sociological problems after such trauma. Injuries may be life-long so it is important to seek compensation for future care and medical bills. For many victims, waiting for fair compensation is not a viable option if foreclosure, eviction, medical expenses, and debt collectors are looming. In order to avoid financial hardship, Litigation Funding Corp. provides a lawsuit cash advance to prevent plaintiffs from settling for less than full case value. Lawsuit funding is designed to help plaintiffs pay medical expenses, funeral expenses, mortgage, and those monthly bills that pile up during the litigation process. It puts time in the hands of the plaintiff to await justice.

If you have been the victim of gas explosion resulting to the negligence or wrongdoing of another, and seeking compensation through a personal injury lawsuit, you may also qualify for lawsuit funding. The transaction is risk-free and clients often obtain money within 24 – 48 hours. Funding is provided on a non-recourse basis and is completely contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the lawsuit fails, the cash advance is completely excused. There are no upfront fees and no monthly payments. Credit and employment do not matter because we focus on the case and the case, alone. Complete our free, online application or call us today see how we can help.

Unlike traditional bank loans, there are no credit checks, employment verifications, or monthly payments. The only requirement is a guarantee of repayment once the case settles.

Thanks to a misdiagnosis of a streptococcal infection, 53-year-old Ascaris Mayo lost limbs after going into septic shock. The spread of the infection led to the amputation of her remaining appendages. 

In 2011, Mayo spent nine hours at a local hospital for treatment of severe abdominal pains, a high fever and rapid heartbeat. Discharged at midnight, she was told to see a gynecologist to discuss fibroids. She collapsed later that day and was treated for septic shock. Even though it was brought under control quickly, the damage to her vascular system was irreversible, leading to her four amputations. At no point during Mayo’s treatment was she told that she may have a life-threatening bacterial infection.

The jury handed down a $25.3 million award, but most jury watchers suggest that the ruling will go on appeal. Wisconsin law allows for capping non-economic damages, and the appeal is expected to lower the original award to $750,000. The case would be ideal for challenging the damage caps in place. The award is focused on the loss of limbs from medical negligence, as opposed to the high dollar amount that negligence is “worth” ($15 million).

The jury found that Mayo’s doctor, Wyatt Jaffe, and his physician’s assistant, Donald Gibson, did not provide an alternative medical diagnosis that may have led the plaintiff to seek other treatment. Jaffe was found 65 percent at fault, and Gibson 35 percent at fault. The award relating to health care costs ($8.2 million) is not subject to state caps.

The expenses associated with such a case would be incredibly high. Any family would struggle to keep up. As such, the Mayo family may have been interested in doing research into litigation funding – an emergency cash lawsuit loan for qualified plaintiffs that helps them manage finances while waiting for justice.

It only take a few minutes to apply online for a lawsuit loan, or to call a litigation funding company and find out more about how a lawsuit loan may apply in your case.

An unexpected injury or loss can throw a family into financial chaos especially if the victim was the sole bread winner. In time, many families may lose their savings and face foreclosure.

An elderly woman was admitted to the hospital for the purposes of rehabilitation, but after a fall suffered a subdural hematoma that led to a coma and, eventually, her death. The patient’s daughter filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging that the hospital failed to:

•provide her mother proper care to decrease the risk of falls.
•provide proper supervision.
•document the usage of bed and chair alarms.

The suit also claims that due to hospital negligence, the woman sustained bodily injuries, pain and suffering, mental anguish, physical impairment, loss of capacity to enjoy life, and aggravation of existing diseases and physical defects.

Sadly, this case is not unique. Filing a wrongful death lawsuit is only the first step. While the family tries to cope emotionally, the last thing they need to worry about is the medical bills and funeral and burial expenses. Fortunately, lawsuit funding provided some relief.

With lawsuit funding, the family was able to focus on healing, rather than calculating expenses or worrying about how they would pay the bills. Funding was provided on non-recourse basis meaning repayment was contingent upon litigation outcome. After reviewing case documentation, funds were wired into their account within 24 hours. Because funding is based on the strength of the case, there was not need for credit checks or employment history. Once the case settled the advance was repaid from the proceeds of the case. Had the plaintiff lost the case, the lawsuit cash advance would have been completely waived.

Lawsuits can help put an end to your financial struggle, but lawsuit funding can help you wait out the litigation process by providing a cash advance against your pending claim.

There are zero monthly payments; repayment is made once the case settles. If you don’t win your lawsuit, you owe nothing.

A passenger on a flight from Brooklyn to Grinnell Regional Airport was killed after being “sucked” out of the aircraft. His widow has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the skydiving company and pilot alleging that the parachute her husband was required to wear as a safety precaution ended up killing him.

The victim was flying as part of a plan to have maintenance done on the aircraft. Although he was not skydiving, he was told to wear a parachute because the aircraft had no passenger seats and the door was going to be open for the brief flight. During the flight, the chute deployed inside the aircraft. When the wind caught the parachute, the man was “sucked” out of the plane. The lawsuit alleges that he would not have been pulled from the plane and died had he not been required to wear a parachute. The suit alleges the aircraft was not in compliance with federal regulations. Under federal law, planes can be flown without doors specifically for skydiving; this plane was not being used for that purpose. The claim also alleges that the pilot failed to provide a pre-flight briefing, which could have included safety equipment information.

Families like this one often turn to an experienced legal finance company for the financial assistance they need to get through the long, legal process and to achieve true justice in their cases. Pre-settlement funding is money given in advance of an expected settlement or jury verdict to help pay the bills and expenses, remove any financial pressure to settle too early for too little, continue to provide interim financial assistance, if needed, and permit the family to wait out the legal process for a fair and equitable settlement or a trial in the case. With a lawsuit cash advance, personal injury plaintiffs no longer have to cave in to the insurance company because of financial difficulties caused by an accident.

Pre-settlement lawsuit funding is easy to apply for, requires no credit check or employment history, no upfront fees or costs, and no monthly payments. Once an applicant is approved, the cash advance can be available for use within 24-48 hours. Lawsuit funding is contingent upon the outcome of the case – if the case is successful, the funding company is repaid the principal plus profit. If the case fails, the repayment is waived.

We hear about serious texting and driving accident all the time, often at high rates of speeds. This woman was only in the school parking lot and travelling 20mph at the time of the accident, yet she required extensive surgery and over 40 stitches. Doctors said she is lucky to be alive; had the pole gone a little bit the other way, she would have bled out.

This shows how dangerous texting and driving can be anywhere, at any speed. Let it be a warning to you; don’t text and drive!

Litigation Funding Corp. is a pro-justice lawsuit funding company that strongly supports a national ban on texting while driving. If you are driving to meet someone; if you are late and considering calling him or texting him while driving, consider this question: Would you rather meet this person late, or suffer serious or fatal injuries? Think about that the next time you get into your car and sit behind the wheel, mobile device in hand.

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.

Litigation can be expensive, sometimes incredibly expensive. Lawsuit funding helps plaintiffs go the distance without being forced to accept anything less than a fair settlement. Many plaintiffs will be out of work for weeks, months, even years; they will not have the income during their recovery period. Lawsuit funding is sometimes their only access to cash; many victims do not have good credit and/or income to qualify them for a traditional loan. Traditional loans also require monthly payments which may be difficult for plaintiffs injured, disabled and without income. By removing a plaintiff’s financial burden, lawsuit funding enables a lawsuit to be resolved on its true merits.

Lawsuit funding is not for everyone, but for many plaintiffs it is the only hope pay their bills while maintaining their fight for fair compensation. If you have been involved in a personal injury lawsuit, have filed a claim, and need financial assistance to pay the bills and/or avoid foreclosure, contact Litigation Funding Corp. We offer free, no obligation funding advice and case evaluations. All that is required for funding approval is legal representation and a case with merit. Once we evaluate your case, if you are approved for funding, we can usually wire cash into your bank account within 24 hours. Then, pay your bills and focus on healing while your attorney focuses on your case. Lawsuit funding really is a quick and easy, no-risk solution during your financial time of need.

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.

According to the statement filed with the lawsuit, 25-year-old Vanessa White was taken to Summerlin Hospital in May 2013. Allegedly, the staff did not follow required protocols in screening her for infectious diseases, which would have included tuberculosis. White had multiple symptoms that indicated the likely presence of the disease. 

While White was being treated at the hospital, her two children were born prematurely. The lawsuit alleges that their early birth was related to the failure to diagnose and treat tuberculosis.

White was allowed to roam the neonatal intensive care unit and care for her babies without wearing the required gloves and respiratory mask, a violation of hospital standards. One of her twins died in June and the other passed away in August. While she was in care, only White’s symptoms were treated. It was not until she died in July 2013 that she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. 

The lawsuit argues that medical personnel failed to meet the accepted standard of medical care — an observation backed by the plaintiff’s expert medical witnesses. A failure to diagnose and treat caused three deaths and spread of tuberculosis to others. More than 20 hospital employees were exposed to and contracted the disease, prompting the Nevada Occupational Safety and Health Administration to fine Summelin Hospital $39,600.

The medical bills involved in such cases are staggering. The surviving spouse would also need to find a way to pay for three unexpected funerals. 

Ideally, he could apply for litigation funding, also called pre-settlement funding, to deal with his overwhelming expenses. As the term “pre-settlement funding” suggests, he would receive funding before a settlement or verdict is reached. A lawsuit loan can allow plaintiffs to resist insurance companies who press them to settle for reduced awards quickly.

To apply for a lawsuit loan, he would need to work with his attorneys and provide the litigation funding representative with the details of the case and its probable chances of success. Once the case is assessed, the funds could be sent directly to his personal bank account within 48 hours. At that point, the debts may be paid and the remainder of the funds retained to help pay bills while the case makes its way to settlement or to trial.

Due to the complex nature of medical malpractice cases, the discovery process is often long and drawn out. Often times, plaintiffs simply do not have the financial resources to wait for years before being compensated. That was the case for 52-year-old woman who underwent surgery for block arteries. Improper surgical techniques during the procedure resulted in her blood pressure dropping for a prolonged period of time, depriving the woman’s organs of adequate blood supply. The surgeon’s negligence left the woman a paraplegic. A two-year long medical malpractice lawsuit resulted in a $2.5 million award. A lawsuit cash advance, helped lessen the financial burdens this woman was facing while providing time for her attorney to obtain maximum compensation. It didn’t matter that she was unable to work because lawsuit funding is provided strictly on the strength of a case. Furthermore, there are no monthly payments so nothing was repaid until her case settled.

We would be happy to review your case and see if we can help you avoid draining your financial resources to the point of accepting a low settlement.

A man (I’ll call him “Jeff” for this post) arrived at the ER with severe neck pain and numbness in his arms and legs. A doctor diagnosed his condition as neck strain and released him from the hospital. A few hours later, Jeff became completely paralyzed from the chest down. He returned to the hospital where he was left untreated for almost two more hours. It was later determined that Jeff suffered from a herniated disk that was compressing his spinal cord and causing progressive neurological injury. Now, he will spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair; he is unable to walk, run, run a bike, or work. Jeff filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging negligence. After a 3 year legal battle, the jury awarded him $3.5 million.

This case shows what happens when doctors are negligent when it comes to patient care. It also shows how long medical malpractices case can take to settle. The emotional, mental and physical stress was enough to deal with; the last thing he needed to worry about was how to pay the bills. That’s where Litigation Funding Corporation was able to help. We provide lawsuit funding to help plaintiffs withstand the litigation process and still be able to pay the bills. It did not matter that Jeff could not work; we only care about the strength of the case. After completing an online application, one of our professional staff members obtained case documentation from Jeff’s attorney and within 24 hours, we were able to approve him from a $5,000 cash advance. He owed us absolutely nothing until his case settled at which time we were repaid from the proceeds of the case. Had Jeff lost his case, he would have owed us absolutely nothing; the cash advance was provided totally risk-free.

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.

Faced with a loss of financial resources and possibly dealing with severe injuries and/or loss of employment, without the help of lawsuit funding a plaintiff may have no choice but to settle their lawsuit for less than fair case value. Lawsuit funding is a non-recourse cash advance that enables plaintiffs to receive fast cash months or years before their case settles. It can also help to prevent damage to a client’s credit score. Unlike a bank loan, there are no application fees, credit checks, employment verification, or monthly payments. Because funding is based solely on the merits of the case, once approved, cash can be available in as little as 24 hours. The cash advance is only repaid upon a successful verdict or settlement. If the plaintiff does not receive a favorable settlement or positive award, the cash advance does not need to be repaid.

Even if your dog is the perfect puppy, accidents can, and do, happen. A dog may climb in your lap, sniff around your neck, or lick your face. Not only can such distractions take your attention from driving, they can lead a serious or deadly accident. An unrestrained dog can be easily thrown around the inside of the vehicle or out of the car.

You would not allow your child to move freely about the vehicle or sit in your lap, would you? What about your best friend? After all, dogs are “man’s best friend.” To ensure your safety and the safety of your pet, always keep your dog restrained with a car harness, crate, or barrier. A dog can get in the way of the steering wheel making it difficult to turn. Never allow your dog to ride in the front seat; even a 10-pound dog can be injured by an airbag or become a flying object if not securely retrained.

Someone injured in an auto accident caused by a driver distracted, may have able to seek compensation for negligence. Whether the cause of the distraction was a pet or something else, distracted driving is negligent driving. An experienced auto accident attorney can help the victim understand his/her rights. Once a lawsuit is filed, if the victim needs financial assistance until the case settles, litigation funding may be the answer.
Strategic lawsuit funding can help pay ongoing medical bills and other important expenses, while recovering physically and emotionally and waiting for a fair settlement. Such funding is intended to remove the financial pressure to resolve a serious personal injury lawsuit too soon, for too little due to pressing financial need. Litigation funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning the plaintiff repays the lawsuit cash advance upon settlement, but if the plaintiff loses, s/he is not required to repay the advanced funds.

We are a leader in the litigation funding industry and recognized by attorneys nationwide as a preferred choice for legal funding services. We are dedicated to securing lawsuit cash advances to plaintiffs based on case assessment only. With a streamlined process, our professional staff works to ensure that each request for funding is processed quickly and efficiently, with funding available in as little as 24 hours.

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.
