Automatic Door Goes Haywire: Senior Citizen Seriously Injured
A well known mechanical door maker and Target Corporation were ordered to pay $7 million to an 81 year old woman who was injured in a Target store when the automatic door went haywire, knocked her to the ground and caused a serious traumatic brain injury.
The woman was walking into her local Target store and just as she got through the entrance, the door closed before she was through the door; she was knocked over and hit her head on the ground when she fell. The door continued to open and close, hitting her in the head as it did. She suffered brain damage resulting in cognitive deficits and was admitted to a nursing home because of her injuries.
Before she was injured, she was living with on a fixed income and was a care-giver to her 59 year old, ‘special needs’ daughter.
This was a troubling case; it effected an entire family, since the mother had to be admitted to a nursing home and could not care for herself or the daughter who had relied on her. The cost of a nursing home is high; a lawsuit takes a long time to resolve. This family may have turned to litigation funding to survive while the case was pending. A lawsuit cash advance would have assisted with important household bills, the medical and nursing home expenses, and kept the family afloat, financially.
Applying for a ‘lawsuit loan’ is easy, and there is no cost to apply for legal finance. All the applicant needs to do is call the lawsuit funding company, or fill out an online application.
Once a litigant is approved, the fast cash legal funding is sent to them via wire or check.
With finances under control, the litigant and his/her family has the luxury of waiting out the system and forcing the insurance company to make them a fair and equitable offer. Lawsuit financing can increase the results in your case by giving you the staying power to hold out for fair compensation. There is no credit check, you don’t need to be employed to qualify, there are no upfront fees and you do not have to make any monthly payments. It’s a no hassle way to secure a lawsuit cash advance and get all the money you deserve.
As for the door manufacturer and Target stores, hopefully the jury sent them a loud and clear message about entrance door maintenance and safety.
