Untreated Infection Leads to Hip Replacement

If one doctor had checked on the results of medical tests, the plaintiff in this case would not have ended up with a permanently painful hip condition.

According to court documents filed by a 52-year-old New York man, the injection he received before an MRI he had in late September 2010 sparked a serious hip infection. By the end of the month, he checked back into hospital with unrelenting pain. A culture revealed a serious bacterial infection.

The plaintiff, a construction worker, met with an orthopedic surgeon who sent him home without any further treatment, despite lab results indicating a virulent bacterial infection needing immediate treatment. Two days later, the man had to be rushed back to the hospital, where doctors discovered that the untreated infection had damaged his hip badly enough that he required a hip replacement. 

He was no longer able to work at his job, and his other previously enjoyed activities were limited.

The man chose to file a medical malpractice lawsuit seeking compensation for his injuries and asking the court to hold the surgeon who did not treat his infection responsible for his unnecessary hip replacement surgery. The jury found for the plaintiff, awarding him $2.3 million.

Before the award, the plaintiff may have been in a difficult situation financially, as he was no longer able to work in construction. Even with savings on hand, he would not have been able to pay the medical bills amassed as a result of his hospital visits and surgery. One solution that may have assisted him in dealing confidently with his financial obligations would have been to fill out an online application form for litigation funding.

Litigation funding, also called pre-settlement funding, offers plaintiffs cash that arrives in less than 48 hours. The amount the applicant receives is usually predicated based on what the attorney of record suggests that a jury may award. 

The plaintiff can also call and apply for a lawsuit loan. All that is required is the name of the plaintiff’s lawyer and the case details. Once the application has been approved, funds are transferred expeditiously to help the plaintiff deal with all expenses and to give him or her the peace of ignoring insurance companies wanting a quick, fast and cheap settlement.

Litigation Funding: A Financial Lifeline for Medical Malpractice Plaintiffs

October 27, 2014

If you were injured or lost a loved one due to a medical error and have filed a medical malpractice lawsuit, you most likely will encounter significant financial pressures because these types of claims are not quick to settle. To avoid additional financial burdens during a pending lawsuit, consider litigation funding.

Some leading causes of medical malpractice lawsuits stem from a misdiagnosis or delayed diagnosis, such as:

•failing to conduct necessary tests.
• misinterpreting of test results.
• failing to take the patient’s full medical history.
• failing to create a follow-up plan with the patient.
• miscommunication when referring a patient to another doctor.

When a medical error or negligence occurs, it can lead to serious or permanently injuries, even death. An experience medical malpractice attorney can help evaluate the circumstances and determine whether the victim has a viable case to seek compensation for damages.

Once a medical malpractice lawsuit is filed, the time between the lawsuit and settlement can stretch over years. A victim who has already suffered from the injustice of injuries may not have the financial means to wait for compensation without the help from a legal funding expert.

Litigation funding is a likely solution for a plaintiff dealing with the loss of income and mounting unpaid bills. While the lawsuit makes its way through the courts, a legal funding company can provide “quick cash” to pay medical bills and living expenses. With financial worries at bay, the plaintiff can concentrate on recovering giving his/her attorney has more time to seek full compensation.

Credit score and employment have no bearing on funding approval; all that matters is case strength. If the case is reviewed and appears winnable, the application will likely be approved and funds available within 24 – 48 hours. When the case settles, the cash advance plus interest is repaid from the settlement, but if the plaintiff loses, the repayment is waived completely.

When pursuing a lawsuit puts a strain on your finances, litigation funding can provide a feasible financial lifeline to support your case and living expenses. Click here to learn how litigation funding can keep your case strong and viable.

Donated Kidney Useless in Face of Misdiagnosed Terminal Cancer

October 24, 2014

Geralda Mata Rodriguez died of previously undiagnosed, terminal cancer 11 months after a kidney transplant.

Geralda Morales wanted to help her ill grandmother by donating a kidney to her. She was deemed a compatible match, and the operation took place in 2012. They did not know that Rodriguez was dying from terminal cancer that had not been properly diagnosed before the transplant operation.

According to court documents, Rodriguez was admitted to a hospital in 2012, complaining of headaches. Medical checks revealed an elevated blood pressure. A CT scan was ordered, and the radiologist noted the presence of temporal bone irregularities, often a signal of multiple myeloma (a cancer originating in the blood’s plasma cells, or another metastatic disease process).

In February 2012, a kidney transplant was performed to address her health issues. But in August 2012, doctors discovered that Geralda Rodiguez was terminally ill with multiple myeloma. Rodiguez died in January 2013 at the age of 66.

Her granddaughter sought legal counsel and filed a medical malpractice lawsuit, arguing that since her grandmother’s CT scan had suggested cancer, she should never have had the transplant operation.

Morales’ lawsuit alleges that the primary surgeon negligently failed to review her grandmother’s CT scan and sent the duo for the renal transplant operation. Ultimately, the suit suggests that the operation was useless in the face of fatal illness. Morales seeks compensation for physical impairment, loss of earning capacity, physical pain and mental anguish, and funeral and burial expenses.

The Morales family incurred large medical bills to assist a dying family member by donating a life-giving kidney. Had they known her grandmother was terminally ill with other medical issues, Morales may not have donated her organ.

The Morales family may wish to find out as much as they can about litigation funding. A pre-settlement loan is emergency funding sent to an approved plaintiff to help them get back on their feet financially. The lawsuit loan helps them pay their urgent bills, such as the ones from the hospital, and allows them to keep current with their other important financial obligations.

A lawsuit loan is not for everyone, but there are a number of benefits that plaintiffs do find appealing. No credit checks are necessary, and the plaintiff does not need to have a job when they apply. There are no up-front or monthly fees, and if the plaintiff loses his or her case in court, he or she keeps the money – no strings attached.

When Does Lawsuit Funding Make Sense?

October 23, 2014

Litigation funding is not appropriate for every plaintiff involved in a lawsuit, but it does have its advantages. It may be the only means to avoid an early settlement with compensation far less than the case is worth.

Let’s assume you were seriously injured in an auto accident. It may result in emotional and financial hardship. If you file a lawsuit, obtaining fair compensation can take time. You may be out of work and have exhausted your savings, but you still need to pay the bills. You may decide it is in your best interest to settle your case despite a settlement offer far less than full case value. While this may seem the best short-term solution, it can be a financial catastrophe in the long-run. When a plaintiff only wants to settle because s/he had no other financial alternatives, litigation funding could make sense.

With litigation funding, plaintiffs can pay off their debts with no restrictions; the money can be used for anything although recommended to pay the mortgage, medical expenses, or monthly household bills. Funding is provided on a non-recourse basis meaning repaying the cash advance is only made if, and when, the plaintiff successfully settles the case. This means plaintiffs can pay off their debt worry free and risk-free.

When you are struggling through your lawsuit for weeks, months, possibly even years the stress is not just financial. While legal financing can be expensive, settling for a fraction of case value because you need money could be the absolute wrong decision. Relieving the financial pressures can go along way in improving ones physical and emotional well-being.

Although litigation funding can provide a financial stop gap for those who have lost the ability to make ends meet during a long litigation process, this financial tool is not for everyone. It is important to talk with a funding expert to fully understand whether litigation funding makes sense for you. If you decide to apply, the funding company will review your case and if determine the case has merit, will wire the money into your account in less than 48 hours.
