Widow Alleges Husband’s Death Due to Negligence

July 31, 2018

An Illinois widow is suing two machine-manufacturing companies for alleged liability and negligence in her husband’s death on a construction site.

According to the complaint filed, the plaintiff alleges her husband was thrown from a paver and crushed as it ran over him. The widow alleges that the defendants are responsible for failing to provide acceptable safeguards to prevent the death. She is seeking compensation for his wrongful death and the loss of companionship and services of a father and husband.

In filing this lawsuit, it is likely the family will face serious financial hardship due to the death of their primary breadwinner. In addition to bills and expenses resulting from the accident, they may be faced with mounting household expenses. To help them financially during the litigation process, the family could seek a lawsuit cash advance, known as pre-settlement litigation funding.

Pre-settlement funding, or a lawsuit loan, helps qualified plaintiffs deal with the cost of everyday necessities, such as transportation, rent, food, medical expenses, and funeral and burial costs. It is not like a traditional bank loan because a plaintiff’s personal credit has no bearing on funding approval; cases are funded solely on their strength. There are no upfront fees or monthly payments.

Litigation funding is non-recourse, meaning a plaintiff is only responsible for repaying the funding if, and when, they win the lawsuit. At that time, the funds come directly out of the proceeds of a case. Any obligation to repay the lawsuit loan is totally excused if the case fails. .

Trip and Fall Accident Kills 82-Year-Old Woman

July 17, 2018

An elderly Texas woman fell on an uneven sidewalk, causing her break her neck.

Two weeks prior to the 82-year-old woman dying on October 19, 2016, she was walking on the sidewalk outside a local restaurant when she tripped and fell face-first. As a result, she broke her neck, and sustained partial paralysis and other serious injuries, which required extensive surgery.

The woman’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit alleging the restaurant was negligent in failing to maintain its premises and warn customers of an allegedly dangerous uneven sidewalk. The complaint states that the woman’s injuries ultimately contributed to her death.

The wrongful death lawsuit may take several years to reach a resolution – in an out of court settlement or possible jury verdict. Should there be no other financial help available for the family, the plaintiffs may wish to consider applying for litigation funding.

Litigation funding, also referred to as a “lawsuit loan,” assists financially struggling plaintiffs with paying medical bills, utility bills, rent or mortgage, and funeral and burial costs. Pre-settlement funding also allows their attorney time to build a case.

Getting a lawsuit loan approved is not based on the plaintiffs’ financial situation but rather the merits of the case. Applying for litigation funding is an easy process via phone or an online application. Once funds are approved, the cash can be received within 24 – 48 hours. Litigation Funding Corporation does not require you to repay the loan unless the case is settled or won.
