Severe Radial Nerve Damage Post Surgery Causes Permanent Damage to Man’s Arm

July 31, 2017

A Florida couple filed a medical negligence lawsuit against a medical facility and a physician, alleging severe radial nerve damage resulting from an operation.

The plaintiffs recounted that the husband fell on November 15, 2015, while at home, and fractured his right humerus. The nature of the fracture required surgery to repair it. According to the court documents filed, the surgeon performing the operation entrapped the husband’s radial nerve beneath the plate used to scale down the fracture. This resulted in permanent and severe damage to the man’s right arm.

The lawsuit further alleges that the doctor and medical facility failed to properly treat the patient’s fundamental condition; failed to suitably train, oversee and supervise medical staff; and failed to execute proper surgical repair in accordance with the injury.

While waiting for a lawsuit to be resolved, the family may need financial assistance to pay their important monthly expenses.

Malpractice Lawsuits Filed Against Midwife with a 30-Year History of Complaints

When serious injury or death results from medical negligence, compensation may be available to help ease the family’s financial burdens, but a medical malpractice lawsuit will take time. For most plaintiffs, a lengthy litigation process brings significant stress and financial concerns, including how to pay household expenses, medical expenses and more.

In 2014, an expectant mother sought out a midwife to oversee her pregnancy and deliver her baby. There was only one midwife in the area that would do home births. She was a licensed practical nurse, had 34 years of practice, and delivered more than 4,000 babies. Despite that experience, something went wrong for this mother-to-be.

A week shy of full-term, the woman passed several fist-sized blood clots. The midwife told her the discharges were normal and there was nothing to worry about, according to a wrongful death lawsuit filed against the midwife. After four more calls to the midwife, the pregnant woman was seen. While under the care of the midwife, the woman continued to bleed and her contractions worsened. By the time the midwife checked the baby’s heart rate, it was no longer detectable. The baby was stillborn.

Sadly, this mother may not have been aware that the midwife has been subject to at least 22 complaints over the course of her career, and the health department determined all but three of them were serious enough to warrant investigation. Two other cases led to lawsuits; one is currently under appeal. Yet, despite her track record, this midwife continues to practice and the state Department of Health couldn’t answer why she has not been barred from delivering children.

The defendant is denying the allegations.

For those that are in a pending lawsuit, they may wish to seek financial assistance through litigation funding.
Although it is often called a “lawsuit loan”, litigation funding is not like a typical bank loan. It is a lawsuit cash advance provided solely on the strength of the case, and does not require a credit check, employment verification, or monthly payments. Additionally, a lawsuit cash advance is only repaid once the case successfully settles. If the plaintiff loses the case, repayment is completely waived.

Litigation Funding Corporation makes the application and approval process quick and easy. We often provide the necessary funds within 24 – 48 hours. To apply, learn more, or request a free, no-obligation consultation, contact us online or toll-free at 248-702-6022.

Negligence May Be the Cause of Woman Death From Gunshot Wound

July 17, 2017

A woman reportedly shot in the chest died as a result of her wound. Her husband is charged with manslaughter.

A Washington man admitted to law enforcement that when he was cleaning his pistol in the kitchen of their home, it fired, hitting his wife in the chest, killing her. After a thorough examination of the scene and the weapon in question, the crime lab ruled that the Glock pistol “functioned reliably” during tests. Those findings, when combined with other information garnered during the investigation led detectives to conclude the husband acted with negligence, resulting in the death of his wife.

As a result of the police report, the prosecutor’s office was asked to charge the husband with a Class B felony or 2nd degree manslaughter. The woman’s adult children filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the husband, alleging the death was not an accident.

Cases like this are not easy for anyone involved. There are a number of legal issues involved as well, making it important for the family to hire an experienced wrongful death attorney.

Once a lawyer has been hired and a lawsuit launched, it may take close to a year or longer for a settlement to be reached. In the meantime, the family may be struggling to pay their bills. Some families turn to “GoFundMe”, but often this is not enough. When financial assistance is needed, but there is no place to turn, litigation funding, also referred to as pre-settlement funding is a viable option.

To be eligible for litigation funding all that is required of the plaintiff is a strong case and an attorney of record. There is no employment verification required, no credit check needed and within 24 – 48 hours of receiving an application, funding may be approved.

Litigation funding is provided on a non-recourse basis, which means the plaintiff makes no payments until the case is settled. Repayment is made from case proceeds. If the plaintiff loses their lawsuit, the cash advance does not need to be repaid.
