Failure to Monitor an Anticoagulant Contributed to the Death of Helen Kill

May 18, 2015

Failure to monitor a patient on an anticoagulant is the alleged cause of Helen Kill’s death on October 3, 2013.

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.
