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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Garcia’s father filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging his son experienced pain and anguish from his severe injuries prior to his death. The lawsuit seeks exemplary damages to $6 million, and actual, punitive and consequential damages to $3 million.

Monty Garcia, of Galveston, Texas, the father of deceased Steven Garcia, filed a wrongful death lawsuit seeking over $9 million in damages for the death of his son. According to papers filed in the statement of claim, the younger Garcia was building “frac” tanks using sandblasting equipment and techniques. Steven became entangled in an auger and sustained severe, fatal injuries.

The named defendants in the lawsuit are The Modern Group GP Inc., Dragon Products Ltd., Breco Inc. and Personnel Staffing. It is alleged that they failed to properly train and supervise the deceased, have proper safety procedures in place or other safeguards to protect workers, and that the facility used to build “frac” tanks was not designed with safety in mind.

Personal Staffing stated it subscribes to worker’s compensation and the plaintiff’s claims should be dismissed according to the exclusive remedy provision of the Texas Worker’s Compensation Act. The Modern Group and Dragon Products said they did not control the premises where Garcia was fatally injured and that the Texas Worker’s Compensation Act bars the plaintiff’s claim.

Garcia’s father. would have had a lot of bills to pay for his son’s initial care at a hospital. The funeral and burial costs would also be high. In order to meet his financial obligations and pay his usual bills, he may want to check into litigation funding. Pre-settlement funding is also referred to as a lawsuit loan, and the benefits it offers to financially distressed plaintiffs are appealing.

Plaintiffs may apply online or by calling the litigation funding company and speaking to a highly trained representative about how to apply for a lawsuit loan. The plaintiff must have an attorney working with them and be able to provide all required documentation. Once the lawsuit loan company has assessed and approved an application, funds are sent directly to the plaintiff’s bank account. Typically, the money arrives within 48 hours or less.

There are no upfront fees to pay, no monthly payments to make, no credit check required, and should the plaintiff lose their case in court, they may keep the litigation funding with no strings attached. A lawsuit loan may be the right thing for many, but it is not necessarily suitable for everyone, as case circumstances vary. However, it is a good idea to research various options to figure out how to pay the bills while waiting for a case to be handled.

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

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

A wrongful death lawsuit was filed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Three people died in an accident involving a head-on collision of two tractor-trailers and a semi on a highway in Maryland. 52-year-old Virginia trucker Terry Coward and his passenger were killed when another big rig crossed the centerline on the highway.

Coward’s wife, Francean Coward, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in Maryland’s Talbot County Circuit Court, alleging the driver of the other semi was at fault for the accident that killed her husband. The statement of claim further alleged that Mr. Coward’s death was due to negligence on the part of Cooley Transport, Inc. and its driver at the time of the crash, Brian K. Hutcheson.

The lawsuit alleges that defendant Hutcheson was driving in a reckless and negligent manner, disobeying the laws and regulations with regard to the safe operation of a commercial vehicle, and completely disregarded the safety of others on the highway by not demonstrating a duty of care for other motorists. It further alleges that Hutcheson’s employer, Cooley Transport, was negligent in hiring him with the knowledge that he was an unfit driver who had caused prior accidents in which he had ignored traffic signals.

Mr. Coward was driving a 2013 Kenworth tractor-trailer eastbound on Maryland Route 404. Hutcheson was driving westbound in a Stoll trailer combination. For some unknown reason, Hutcheson’s vehicle crossed the centerline clipping an eastbound big rig.

Mr. Coward observed the early part of the accident and immediately went into a defensive manoeuvre to try to avoid Hutcheson’s rig by taking a hard steer to the right, but the rig still slammed head-on into Mr. Coward’s Kenworth, causing it to burst into flames. Mr. Coward died as a result of the burns sustained in the accident.

Trucking firms have a duty to hire, train and monitor their drivers, and if a case can be made that this did not occur when Hutcheson was hired, Mrs. Coward stands a good chance of winning her lawsuit.

While waiting for her lawsuit to proceed through the system, Mrs. Coward might be interested in knowing that she could be eligible for a lawsuit loan, an emergency infusion of cash from a litigation funding company that allows a financially struggling plaintiff to pay all of their bills, including medical, funeral and burial expenses.

In situations such as this one, insurance companies are always trying to get a plaintiff to settle early and for less than they may be entitled to in court. Should Mrs. Coward be approved for pre-settlement funding, she would not need to deal with insurance companies or the trucking company attorneys. Should she lose her case in court, she would still be entitled to keep the funds, no strings attached.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is investigating a fatal I-75 auto accident, which left one man seriously injured and a man and woman dead. According to FHP, a semi was in the northbound outside lane on I-75 when one of the front tires blew out. After the driver lost control, the semi crashed through a guardrail and the median before smashing head-on into a pick-up truck traveling southbound. Both the driver and the passenger in the pick-up died at the scene. Both were wearing seat belts. The semi driver, who was thrown from his vehicle, was taken to the hospital in serious but stable condition. It’s unknown if he was wearing a seat belt.

The families of the deceased will obviously be struggling emotionally during this time, but they should seek legal counsel to understand their rights. If a lawsuit is filed and taking longer to settle than finances will allow, the family may wish to seek litigation funding.

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.

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. It also gives the attorney time necessary to obtain full case value. Unlike traditional bank loans, litigation funding is provided solely on the strength of the case. 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. Once approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. When you know your bills are covered, it is much easier to fight for justice.

Have you suffered serious injuries or lost a loved one in an auto accident? If so, you have the legal right to seek compensation against the other party.

During this time, bills must be paid. But, what if you are out of work due to injuries or if the deceased loved one was the sole breadwinner? In times like this, you may be able to receive litigation funding.

Litigation Funding Corp. is an auto accident litigation funding specialist that helps victims through the financially difficult times. We provide a no-obligation consultation and a simple application process. Once you are in a better financial position, you have time to wait out the legal process.

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.

“I was in an auto accident when another driver ran a red light. Spinal cord injuries left me a paraplegic. I lost sensation and movement in both legs and suffer daily from severe pain. My attorney said my case would take up to a year to settle, but I didn’t have that kind of time. As the sole provider for a family of four, I was worried about the ongoing medical bills and how I would keep our home and put food on the table. Rather than settling for less than full case value, my attorney suggested I obtain a “lawsuit loan.” I was skeptical because I could not afford to make loan payments. I contacted Litigation Funding Corp. and learned that I would not be getting a loan, but rather a cash advance against my lawsuit. There was no need for a credit check and it didn’t matter that I was unable to work. Once I applied for funding, the process went quickly. I was able to pay my bills immediately and wait the ten months until my case settled for much more than the insurance company’s initial offer.”

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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. While it is impossible to plan for a tragedy like this, there are services that can help during these difficult times.

When a plaintiff’s financial status can’t withstand a long litigious process, pre-settlement lawsuit funding, an emergency cash advance, may be the answer. Legal funding companies understand the difficulties plaintiffs face when unexpected injuries or losses occur. Their goal is to provide a financial lifeline to make ends meet, while their attorney proceeds with pursuing the maximum settlement.

Receiving pre-settlement funding is easy with our simple application and quick approval process. The cash advance is provided risk free; we get paid only when our clients win their case. Lose, and you owe us nothing!

A lawsuit cash advance is the smart and easy way to gain your financial stability while waiting to obtain justice. Pre-settlement funding is not a loan so your financial information is not necessary to qualify. All that is needed to be considered for funding is that you have retained an attorney and you have a strong case. You can have bad credit and no job, yet still receive a lawsuit cash advance. There are zero monthly payments; repayment is made once the case settles. If you don’t win your lawsuit, you owe nothing.

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.

An undisclosed settlement has been reached in the wrongful death lawsuit of a 10-year-old boy killed by a falling 300 pound flight display board at the Birmingham, Alabama airport last year. The young boy and his family were traveling through Birmingham on their return home to Kansas after a spring break vacation. During a layover at the newly renovated Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport, a 300-pound flight information panel fell off a wall striking several family members. The boy died from his injuries; his mother and two younger brothers were seriously injured, while his dad and an older brother and sister were unharmed. It took six people to lift the sign and another dozen to hold it upright while first responders administered aid.

The wrongful death lawsuit sought unspecified damages for the death, injuries and emotional pain caused by the incident. Named in the suit were Brasfield & Gorrie, BLOC and the Joint Venture, Fish Construction and KPS Architects, all contractors involved in the airport’s recent renovation. This unfortunate, tragic accident will not bring the child back, but it has led to changes to ensure such tragedies no not happen again.

According to the family’s attorney, the defendants have accepted responsibility for their respective roles that contributed to the tragedy.

“I am pleased to report that each defendant has taken specific steps to analyze the failures that may have occurred and have agreed to make concrete changes to ensure that similar tragedies are avoided in the future,” he said. “In light of the criticism that is often levied at our system of civil justice, this case is proof that while flawed at times, the system can and does work.”

Litigation Funding Corp. congratulations this family and their attorney on a victory and commend the defendants for accepting responsibility and implementing change so such tragedies do not happen again.

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.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and Bed Handles Inc., of Blue Springs, Mo., have recalled over 110,000 adult portable bed handles after three woman reportedly died after becoming entrapped between the mattress and the bed handles. All three victims were living in an assisted living or adult family home at the time. An investigation into the product revealed that the handles are dangerous because they can shift away from the mattress, creating a gap that disabled or elderly patients can fall in to and potentially strangle or become trapped.

Although the recall comes too late to save the three lives that were lost, the families of the victims might have a legitimate injury claim against the nursing home/assistant living center and the product manufacturer. It is important that they contact an experienced personal injury attorney to understand their rights. Once a lawsuit is filed, if these families need financial assistance until the case settles, they may be able to procure litigation funding.

At Litigation Funding Corp., we understand that the litigation process takes time and during this period bills can pile up, resulting in financial hardship. With our quick and easy litigation funding services, Litigation Funding Corp. can help put money in your pocket with no risk to you. We require no monthly payments, no credit checks, and the applicant does not need to be employed. The only requirement to obtain funding is a case with merit.

If you do not yet have a defective medical product attorney, Litigation Funding Corp. can refer you to excellent legal representation in your area, at no cost to you. With our simple application and quick approval process, plaintiffs can obtain cash relief in less than 48 hours.

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.

Are you are in a similar situation and don’t want financial issues forcing you to settle too soon for too little? If you need a way to pay living expenses while pursuing your right to justice, contact a legal funding expert, call our office or visit us online. 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. Cash advances are provided on a non-recourse basis meaning that if an advance is made, but nothing is recovered, you are not required to re-pay the advance.

Why wait months or years to get money from your settlement? Apply for lawsuit funding and pay your bills in less than 48 hours.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Litigation Funding Corp. have been helping clients for over 14 years; we may be able to help you, too. Call or visit us online to learn how our lawsuit funding services may benefit your case and provide the financial security you need today.

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.

Moving vehicles are not toys; they are not games. Far too often, young drivers choose to take risks and engage in dangerous activities while behind the wheel. When a driver makes such decisions s/he puts countless motorists, passengers, and pedestrians at risk and may be held liable for more than simply breaking the law. An attorney can help victims pursue compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and other damages. If medical expenses, lost wages, and daily-living expenses create an overwhelming financial burden, plaintiffs may be eligible for lawsuit funding.

Litigation Funding Corp. is a legal funding company that understands how difficult the litigation process can be especially if the bills are piling up. Insurance companies will even use the technique of dragging out a case, forcing the victim to settle for less than the actual value of the case. Litigation Funding Corp. can help plaintiffs get back on their feet and maintain financial stability. With our lawsuit cash advance program, plaintiffs have the ability to receive the highest possible settlement. Our “lawsuit loans” are based on the strength and merits of the case; not credit or employment history. Once an application is completed and approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be available within 24 hours.

If you were involved in an accident that resulted from another person’s negligence, you may be owed compensation. Whether you are uncertain of the cause of your accident or your accident is still under investigation, you could benefit from the help of an experienced auto accident attorney. Don’t assume your injuries and losses are not severe enough to warrant compensation; no auto accident should be taken lightly. Once you have filed a lawsuit, if you need immediate cash while your case is pending, take a moment to explore your options with Litigation Funding Corp.

According to the information released when this wrongful death lawsuit was filed, General Motors knew about an issue involving faulty ignition switches in some of its vehicles. Such a switch allegedly caused the death of 32-year-old Aubrey Williams in December 2013. Williams was driving on Alabama Highway 64 when the ignition switch failed. Her Cobalt lost power and veered into the westbound lane, where it collided with an 18-wheeler. Her airbag did not deploy.

Williams’ father filed the wrongful death lawsuit, naming several defendants, including General Motors, the ignition switch manufacturer, the auto dealership where she bought the car and the repair shop where she had her vehicle serviced. 

In light of multiple accidents caused by this defective switch, GM recalled 1.6 million vehicles, indicating that the defective switch could cause sudden loss of steering, braking and engine power. Despite the recall, the U.S. Department of Justice is launching a criminal investigation, and hundreds of Americans are filing lawsuits.

After the accident investigation was concluded, the police allegedly became aware of the recall and the faulty ignition switch. Their accident report was changed to name mechanical failure as the cause of the crash. 

According to the family attorney, GM knew about this issue for more than ten years before taking action. More than 300 deaths may be attributed to this particular switch. Currently, GM has admitted that the switch issue caused 12 of these deaths. In filing a wrongful death lawsuit, the family may be able to send the giant automaker a message. It is unacceptable, egregious and negligent to leave known errors unresolved before marketing their vehicles to an unsuspecting and trusting public. 

This lawsuit is likely to take a long time moving through the courts, and the family may face too many financial issues to cope with their bills. Litigation funding, also referred to as lawsuit loans or pre-settlement funding, would be a strong solution to their economic dilemma.

Plaintiffs with a winnable case may call a lawsuit loan company once they have hired an attorney. They will be asked to outline the case details and wait for approval. Once an applicant is approved, interim litigation funding is sent directly to the applicant’s bank account within 48 hours. Once there, the funds may be used to pay bills, including funeral and burial costs. In this case, Williams left behind two small children. Any monies obtained through a lawsuit loan could also help the family care for them.
Litigation funding is often crucial for cash-poor plaintiffs. Though such funding may not suit everyone, it can help many hang on until a settlement or trial is reached.

The extent of unnecessary surgery has been the object of considerable speculation and sometimes accusation in recent years. According to USA Today report, the scope of the problem is huge, yet remains largely hidden. To date, public attention has been limited to only a few cases.

*A semi-pro baseball player was aiming for the big leagues when a fainting spell sent him to a cardiologist for tests. The man was told without a pacemaker, he may not live to 30. Trusting his doctor, he made the quick decision to have surgery. Months later, when the ex-ball player heard the cardiologist was being investigated for performing unnecessary surgeries, he had another doctor review his case; then two more. All three agreed that the pacemaker was not necessary.

*Lawsuits against King’s Daughter’s Medical Center in Ashland, KY allege that unnecessary procedures were performed on over 500 patients. The suits allege that doctors performed medically unnecessary cardiac procedures, including coronary angioplasty, stenting and coronary artery bypass grafts and pacemaker and defibrillator implantation. These surgeries left patients in physical and emotional pain; some died. The hospital and the other defendants have denied wrongdoing.

*Two patients who suffered heart problems for years were referred to cardiologist, Dr. Arvind Gandhi. Both said Dr. Gandhi strongly encouraged them to get an implant cardiac defibrillator, a device similar to a pacemaker. Over their post implantation care, both patients said they learned the procedure was not necessary and Gandhi was not qualified to do the surgery.

Did you receive an unnecessary heart surgery? If you or a loved one has suffered from an unnecessary surgery, you may be entitled to financial compensation for damages incurred. Contact an experienced medical malpractice attorney to review your case.

Proving that unnecessary surgeries are medical malpractice can be extremely complicated and drawn out. Often times, longer the wait for a settlement, the more financial burden are placed on the innocent victim. In order to wait for justice deserved, but still pay the bills and avoid debt, many plaintiffs will seek financial assistance from a legal funding company.

Applying for litigation funding is quick and easy; all you need is a strong case. With no credit checks, no income or employment requirements, no monthly payments and no up-front fees, approvals can often be made in as little as 24 – 48 hours. Additionally, funding is provided on a no-risk basis meaning you only repay the advance if you win your case. If you lose your case or your case doesn’t settle, YOU OWE US NOTHING!

Why wait? If you are struggling financially while waiting for your medical malpractice settlement, contact Litigation Funding Corp. We are one of the leading and most highly respected legal funding providers in the U.S.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“Have you ever wondered how you would pay bills if you were seriously injured in an auto accident, unable to work, and every obstacle imaginable delayed your lawsuit? If you were like me a year ago, you probably never have unless you were actually put in this situation. I was rear-ended by a distracted driver and left permanently disabled. My wife was a stay-at-home mom and with three kids, cash was already tight. After the accident, the bills just kept coming. Since it was obviously the other guy’s fault, I expected a quick settlement. Wow, was I surprised! I was in a real financial crunch with nowhere to turn until my lawyer mentioned litigation funding. I contacted three funding companies; it was not hard to make a quick decision. Litigation Funding Corp. was able to completely explain how the funding process works and once I applied, they worked fast to provided the cash I needed. Within two days, I was caught up on all my outstanding bills, and could wait debt-free until my case settled.”

Being seriously injured in an auto accident and swamped with mounting bills and no way to pay them is an added burden most victims don’t need. Often times, emergency cash is the only way to stay the course financially and keep a lawsuit alive. That is why litigation funding has become a popular solution for plaintiffs during a lengthy legal process.

Since funding is granted solely on the strength of the case, there are no credit checks or typical bank requirements for funding. In most cases, cash can be available within 24 – 48 hours. If the case does not settle in the plaintiffs’ favor, the lawsuit cash advance is forgiven! You owe nothing!

If you are the victim of a personal injury lawsuit, litigation funding may be the emergency financial lifeline you need. Call for a free, no obligation consultation or apply online.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An Ohio man filed an auto accident lawsuit against a driver he claimed was responsible for a multi-vehicle accident that allegedly left his wife, a passenger in his vehicle, permanently impaired. According to the lawsuit, “As the man entered the intersection, the defendant ran a red light, lost control, and struck the plaintiffs vehicle on the passenger side.” An investigation determined that the defendant was not only speeding, but talking on his cell phone at the time of the accident.

The plaintiff claimed that because of the accident his wife is physically impaired, experiences ongoing physical pain and mental anguish, and the couple has incurred exorbitant medical costs. Due to her injuries, he has lost a significant amount of work to care for her. The insurance company made a settlement offer, but the plaintiff’s attorney said it was significantly less than what the couple deserved. He believed if they waited, the case would settle within 8 – 10 months for a much higher settlement. Unfortunately, the medical bills alone were a struggle for this couple. Pre-settlement lawsuit funding was just what they needed.

Rather than letting the bills pile and risking bad credit or home foreclosure, pre-settlement funding can work as a cash advance that does not have to be repaid until the case settles. Applying for funding requires a simple online application. Approval is based solely on the strength of the case. If approved, the client and his attorney will sign a contract detailing the funding agreement. There is no need to worry about confusing text; the terms and conditions are clearly defined, but Litigation Funding Corp. will go over everything first. We also advise our clients to only take a cash advance for the amount absolutely necessary; a request for additional funding can be made later, if needed. The best part of pre-settlement funding is that if you lose your case, the repayment is waived.

From mortgage and auto payments to utility bills and daily living expenses, pre-settlement funding will allow you to live comfortably until the settlement check arrives in the mail. Call us for a free, no-obligation consultation.

Lawsuit funding is not a familiar term to many people involved in a lawsuit, yet it can make the difference in a plaintiff’s financial well-being. Plaintiffs have fewer resources than the large corporations and insurance companies putting the plaintiff in a vulnerable position, especially when a case drags on for years. When a deep-pocket defendant delays proceedings or drags out a case, it makes a financially strapped plaintiff vulnerable, and one who will consider accepting a less than favorable settlement. Lawsuit funding provides the much needed cash when the plaintiff needs it most. With a lawsuit cash advance, the victim can focus on seeking treatment and healing from injuries, rather than worrying about how to pay the mortgage or feed the family.

Plaintiffs may be eligible for a lawsuit cash advance at any point between when s/he filed a lawsuit and the time the case is settled. Obtaining funding is quick and easy with no credit checks or employment verification. Additionally, there are no monthly fees or other out-of-pocket expenses. With the cooperation of the plaintiff’s attorney, an application can be reviewed and approved in as little as 24 hours. Best of all, lawsuit funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning repayment is only made once the case successfully settles; if the plaintiff loses the case, repayment is waived.

If you are in the midst of a personal injury lawsuit and need financial assistance, lawsuit funding may be the right choice for you. For more information, call Litigation Funding Corp. at 1-866-548-3863 or visit us online.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

As a stay at home mom, Tammy was quickly overwhelmed. With a budget already stretched, Tammy found herself with little savings and a lot of bills. The negligent driver’s insurance company continued to deny, delay, and defend the claim. Although Tammy consulted an auto accident attorney and filed a lawsuit, it did not speed up her case. Months were passing and a settlement was not in sight. The stress was taking a toll; she need cash fast.

As Tammy was cleaning up after the kids, she heard a commercial on the TV in the other room – “Do you need cash to pay your bills before your lawsuit settles?” Curious that help may be available to her, Tammy called her attorney to see if he was familiar with such a service. Tammy’s attorney told her that such financial help is provided by litigation funding companies and he immediately suggested Litigation Funding Corp. as the expert in the industry. After Colleen thoroughly explained how the funding works, Tammy applied for a $3,500 cash advance. She was approved the next day and her bills were paid in full. Eight months later, Tammy’s case settled for $1.2 million at which time Litigation Funding Corp. was repaid. Had Tammy lost her case, she would have owed us nothing. That’s because litigation funding is no-risk funding to plaintiffs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The semi-truck involved in this fatal accident was hauling a load of crushed cars, when the unthinkable happened —- the trailer unit broke free of the cab. The renegade trailer then veered across a rural New York two-lane road, just south of Syracuse, in Cortland County, slamming into a minivan.

The minivan driver was 24-year-old Carino Vanorden. His passengers: included his fiancé, 21-year-old Lena Beckwith; a 26-year-old mother of two; a four-year-old girl; a five-year-old girl; a seven-year-old girl; and four-year-old boy. The driver, father of the seven- and four-year-old children, was the only occupant alive when emergency medical responders arrived at the scene of the accident. He was immediately transported to the nearest medical facility for care.

Accident reconstructionists were called in to determine what caused the crash. Investigators were able to ascertain that the collision was caused by a mechanical failure involved the lock coupling between the tractor and trailer. The part required to securely lock the coupling failed, sending the heavily loaded trailer across the road, where it crashed into Vanorden’s van.

The families involved in this horrific accident may want to file wrongful death lawsuits, and the surviving father may wish to pursue filing a person injury case. While they are talking to their attorneys, they might want to discuss the possibility of applying for litigation funding to assist them in paying their staggering medical, funeral and burial expenses.

A lawsuit cash advance is an emergency loan for plaintiffs that helps them get back on their feet financially while they wait for their case to be handled. Whether it goes to settlement or to court, pre-settlement funding allows the victim to pay off their outstanding bills and keep current with their usual expenses, such as a student loan, rent or a mortgage.

While litigation funding is not for every plaintiff, there are a number of significant advantages worth researching. For instance, the victim does not pay any money upfront, does not make monthly payments, is not required to submit to a credit check, does not need to be employed and does not need to pay back the lawsuit cash advance if they do not win their case.

Applying for a lawsuit loan requires that you hire an attorney, who is responsible for providing case file information to the litigation funding company. Pre-settlement funding is then awarded based on the potential winnability of the case. Call for information or find it online. The lawsuit loan representatives understand that you have been through a lot before coming to them for help. You are treated with great respect and dignity.

On a typical day at work, electrical workers do what is necessary to fix outages across the city. They are often seen working with traffic lights, either newly installed or those that need repairs.

In this Westchester County, NY accident, a Verde Electric worker in a bucket truck was working on a new set of lights. He saw a tractor trailer unit approaching, but did not realize at the time that the truck would clip the bottom of his bucket. The sharp jolt to the bucket ejected the worker and left him dangling in the air in his safety harness, hooked to the traffic light. The rigging gave way and he fell onto the top of the tractor trailer unit, rolled off the truck and landed face-first on the roadway.

First responders managed to get the man to the nearest medical facility, where he was treated for a number of broken ribs, a broken nose and broken elbow, which required surgery. The future for him includes losing work for a number of weeks, facing rehabilitation therapy, numerous follow up doctor’s appointments and many weeks of pain medication.

The trucker was not charged in this incident, as the police stated that there were no mechanical problems involving the truck and the trucking company was able to provide them with the required paperwork relating to the driver and the vehicle itself.

Nonetheless, the electrical worker may want to discuss negligent driving and driving while distracted with a personal injury lawyer. He faces enormous medical bills and a long recovery. How does he pay for his medical expenses and other costs, such as a mortgage or car payments, when he is unable to work and loses substantial pay due to being off work?

The ideal solution for this plaintiff would be to apply online for litigation funding. It’s easy to do and may be accomplished by calling a lawsuit loan company. Pre-settlement funding is a good fit for most plaintiffs, and allows them to pay all their medical bills and usual expenses, while they are waiting for their case to be settled or taken to court.

All the plaintiff needs to do is hire a lawyer to handle the case, contact a litigation funding representative, outline the case details and have the case assessed. Once the case has been approved, the lawsuit cash advance is sent within 48 hours to the plaintiff’s bank account. Litigation funding offers cash poor plaintiffs a number of outstanding benefits.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

While waiting for trial or settlement, the family will need to still pay their regular bills and any expenses related to their daughter’s death. It would likely be financially difficult for them to accomplish and having extra cash on hand would be a welcome relief. They might wish to consider applying for a lawsuit loan.

Carol was seriously injured in an auto accident and unable to return to work. She filed a lawsuit, but her case was also being delayed by the defendant. Instead of a traditional bank loan, Carol opted for litigation funding from a legal finance company. This non-recourse cash advance covered her bills for three months, but when her case was delayed she needed to request additional funding. Her case settled three months later; Carol stayed financially afloat and maintained her credit standing.

After repaying the lawsuit cash advance, Carol’s proceeds from the settlement were less than Mike’s, but she was able to keep all bills current and maintain good credit.

While litigation funding is not right for every plaintiff, it can be the answer if the only option is to settle too soon, for too little. Unlike a traditional bank loan, there are no monthly payments, no credit checks, or employment verification. If you fail to make monthly payments, you default on the loan. Once you default, you are at risk of losing whatever collateral you pledged as security for the loan, usually your home. Additionally, you are still obligated to repay the loan. On the other hand, litigation funding is based solely on the merits of the case, plaintiffs who may not qualify for a bank loan or line of credit, may qualify for a lawsuit cash advance. Litigation funding is risk-free; repayment is only made if, and when, the plaintiff successfully settles, whereas a bank loan must always be repaid. Additionally, a lawsuit cash advance never shows up on a credit report.

When you need fast cash and everyone else is saying “No”, contact Litigation Funding Corp. After completing a one-page application, we will request documentation from your attorney to determine if the case has merit. If approved, funding can be available in less than 48 hours. With litigation funding, you have nothing to lose, but much to gain – financial peace of mind and credit intact.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

An 18-year-old man was texting while driving when his car drifted over the center line and crashed into another vehicle, causing serious injury to the driver of the second vehicle. He later died from his injuries.

The driver was convicted of a new offense – homicide by texting while driving – the first individual in Massachusetts to be cited for this. He entered a not guilty plea but was subsequently convicted. He faces jail time of up to four years.

The victim’s family sought the advice of a personal injury attorney to find out what they could possibly do to stop this crime from happening to others. From the accident to the victim’s hospital stay and treatment to the impending court case, the family faced mounting legal and medical bills. They decided to approach a litigation funding company and apply for a lawsuit cash advance.

Pre-settlement funding is, as implied, cash given in advance to qualified plaintiffs while they wait for their case to reach a conclusion. Applying for a lawsuit loan is as easy as two clicks or picking up the phone.

A lawsuit cash advance may be spent on anything, but it is usually used to pay medical bills and other pressing monthly financial obligations. There are numerous benefits to applying for pre-settlement funding, so it is definitely worth a phone call to see if it would work for you if you ever find yourself in a similar situation.

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

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

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

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

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