In this automobile accident case, a 19-year old young man was the passenger in a car, driven by a drunk driver, who slammed the vehicle, head-on, into a utility pole. The young victim was paralyzed from the chest down and sustained a head injury so bad that it destroyed his pituitary gland, leaving him with a permanently elevated body temperature and a host of ancillary and serious medical problems.
The drunk driver was a friend to the victim. The jury awarded $33 million in the case; it is unclear how much of the verdict is actually collectible.
This young man could have easily applied for and received lawsuit funding. This pre-settlement funding costs nothing unless and until you win your case. The application for what some call a “lawsuit loan” is free; you may apply for a lawsuit cash advance online, at the litigation funding website, or call the company directly. There are no upfront fees and no monthly payments
With your important bills and expenses paid with the help of a legal finance company, the plaintiff does not have to take an inadequate settlement offer from an insurance company. Early insurance company offers are quite low and they stay that way until you and your attorney show the insurance company that you mean business and are willing, if necessary, to go to trial to achieve justice. With your important bills and expenses paid with litigation funding, you have the luxury to turn down those low offers and patiently await a fair offer or verdict in the case.
