Fatal Highway Crash Ends in 1.1 Million Dollar Settlement

May 31, 2018

A pickup truck was rear-ended by an SUV, causing the truck to hit a guardrail and flip over on a Connecticut highway.

The 42-year-old victim’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in connection with the 2016 fatal accident. Police said the female driver of the SUV was high on cocaine and heroin. The woman died of a drug overdose the night before her trial.

Subsequently, a $1.1 million settlement was agreed upon with the insurer of the non-profit group that owned the SVU. The director of the organization had loaned the SUV to the female driver.

Families that file wrongful death lawsuits are likely facing financial difficulties to pay funeral and burial expenses. If they need a source of funding to help them carry on with their lives until a settlement or trial, a lawsuit cash advance is a solution.

A lawsuit cash advance is available to a qualified plaintiff to help pay attorney fees, pressing bills and expenses related to the accident. This kind of funding is also referred to as litigation funding or a “lawsuit loan.”

Applying for litigation funding is easy and can be done online or by calling Litigation Funding Corporation at 1.866.LIT.FUND. The only requirement is having attorney representation and a case with merit. The lawsuit cash advance can be made available within 24 to 48 hours of being approved.
