According to the driver of the SUV, he never saw the other vehicle before he turned left onto the highway. At the scene, police charged the Nissan Pathfinder driver with failing to yield right-of-way to the motorcyclist. Drivers have a duty to remain alert and aware of all other traffic around them — even more so if they have stopped at an intersection prior to making a turn or decision.

Tragically, not all motorcyclists will survive an accident. But an injured, surviving driver needs the services of experienced legal counsel to help them obtain compensation for their injuries and medical costs. Many drivers insist that bikers cause most accidents by exceeding the speed limit. In reality, automobile drivers are usually at fault; they may drive while distracted or fail to look out for concealed and inconspicuous traffic. In this case, a man lost his life because an SUV driver did not conduct a proper check for all types of traffic coming his way. Such cases often involve negligence and as such, the biker’s estate is fully entitled to file a personal injury lawsuit.

It all started with a cell phone. In Alpharetta, Georgia, a 23-year-old woman was driving distracted, by talking on her cell phone, when she slammed into another vehicle being driven by a 67-year-old man. The collision and subsequent roll-over killed him.

The young woman was driving on a local highway, talking on her cell phone, when she lost control of her vehicle, veered into the next lane and rammed into a Nissan Pathfinder. The force of the impact caused the man to lose control of his vehicle, veer sideways, roll-over several times and end up crushed against a guard rail. By the time the police and first responders arrived on the scene, they found the man dead. He never stood a chance.

Over 3,000 deaths in the U.S. last year were related to distracted driving and while the cell phone, and other mobile devices are, at times, a blessing, they are not used safely or wisely by drivers. Cell phones do not belong in vehicles, without or without a headset – period. A point being made by U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who is pushing for legislation to ban cell phones in all vehicles.

A month had passed before the at-fault driver in this horrific collision turned herself into the police. She was charged with failing to maintain her own land and second-degree homicide. Many hope the criminal justice system will prevail in this case. It is likely the man’s family will want to talk to an experienced personal injury lawyer, and find out how to file a wrongful death lawsuit. Part of the justice they would seek is to be able to make the point that cell phones should not be allowed in vehicles and that driver’s using them while driving, need to take responsibility for their negligence.

What will the man’s family do to pay their bills while they are waiting for their case to be resolved? They might want to find out more about litigation funding and how they could make use of a lawsuit loan to pay for all of their expenses. Pre-settlement funding acts as a lifeline for the family, and helps them face financial issues throughout the long litigation process. This is not a typical bank loan. A lawsuit cash advance is offered to you, based on the strength of the case. Once you are approved the funding arrives in your bank account within 24-48 hours. If you lose in court, you pay nothing. It is worth checking into.
