Routine Surgery Kills Young Boy
Ten years after the fact, an Illinois family received a $9 million wrongful death award as the result of a medical malpractice claim against the doctor who operated on their 12-year old son.
Andrew Muno had a surgical procedure done to repair a cut tendon he had on his left arm; he died during surgery.
The Muno family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the surgeon and the anesthesiologist. The road to justice for the Muno’s has been a long and hard one. If they had known about litigation funding in 1999, they would have been able to apply for a lawsuit cash advance while waiting for their verdict and for justice to become a reality.
Lawsuit funding is a valuable strategic tool that provides funding to plaintiffs, removes the financial pressure to settle too early for too little, and purchases precious time to permit the attorney to work up the case, let litigation run its course, and enable them to achieve largest result possible under the circumstances. This helpful service prevents families like the Muno’s from having to settle for pennies on the dollar. They can apply for legal finance so litigation can provide them with a fair settlement. Having access to lawsuit funding balances the scales of justice, removes the financial inequity between the plaintiff and the well-financed insurance company, and prevents a plaintiff from agreeing to an unfair settlement because of an immediate need for cash. It is easy to apply, by phone or internet, and, if approved, you will have cash in your hands in as little as 24 hours.
