Patient Blames Hospital For Injuries Incurred After Fall From Wheelchair

October 14, 2016

When someone is discharged from the hospital they are typically transported via wheelchair by a medical care employee to ensure the patient is safely escorted off the premise. If a patient is injured while being transported, the hospital would be responsible.

A woman has filed a lawsuit against a hospital for allegedly failing to properly keep its property safe.
At the time of the accident, the woman was a patient being transported by wheelchair. According to the lawsuit, the wheelchair struck a defect in a portion of the sidewalk causing the patient to fall and hit her head, resulting in injuries to her head and neck that required medical attention. The plaintiff alleges that the facility failed to repair the defective portion of the sidewalk and failed to place warning signs of the dangerous condition. She seeks a trial by jury and an undisclosed amount in damages.

Over the past two years since the accident, this plaintiff may have suffered significant financial loss in addition to the physical and emotional pain. She may be able to get the cash she needs now while waiting for case settlement by applying for a lawsuit cash advance.

Litigation Funding Removes The Financial Stress Associated With A Personal Injury Lawsuit

October 11, 2016

A personal injury is that life-changing moment when you are seriously injured as the result of someone else’s negligence or carelessness. The most obvious example of this is an automobile accident.

An auto accident lawsuit begins by hiring the right attorney. If you don’t have an attorney, our lawsuit finance company can help you find one, within 24 hours, in all 50 states. This is a free service to you. Once you retain an attorney, he/she will notify the at-fault party and/or his/ her insurance company. The process of collecting evidence, seeking medical attention, and trying to get your life back to normal will begin. But, a settlement could be years away. What if your injuries preclude you from returning to work? What if you suffered short-term disability? What if you are permanently disabled? In addition to the physical and emotional pain, the last thing you need is financial devastation. While compensation from a lawsuit can help, a settlement could be years away. Where can you turn for help?

Typically, a bank will not provide a lawsuit loan. Even so, you would still be required to make monthly payments, furthering adding to already mounting debt. Borrowing from family or friends may not be an option either. At this point, you might be willing to settle for pennies on the dollar in order to avoid financial disaster. Did you know there might be a better solution – litigation funding?

Litigation funding is a cash advance against a pending lawsuit to stave off financial worries. Some call it a “lawsuit loan,” but here is why it is not a “loan.” There are no monthly payments which most victims obviously can’t afford. There are no credit checks so if the credit cards are already maxed out, it doesn’t matter. There is no employment verification so it doesn’t matter if victims are out of work due to injuries sustained. We fund strictly on the strength of your case. Repayment of the lawsuit cash advance is only made once the case is settled. Best of all, if the plaintiff loses, the re-payment is waived in its entirety.

Are you ready to find out if your personal injury lawsuit qualifies for litigation funding? Complete our online application or call our office. When all documents are received – an application and case documentation, our in-house underwriters will review your case and determine if funding is approved. If so, the money can be available in as little as 24 hours. For more information and to determine if litigation funding is a viable solution during your pending case, contact Litigation Funding Corporation.

Lawsuit Alleges Failure to Diagnose

A couple filed a medical negligence lawsuit against several defendants alleging that doctors failed to diagnose a cerebral aneurysm, which resulted in a more serious condition.

The patient was suffering from severe headaches that had left him frequently debilitated. He sought medical treatment, but allegedly his primary care physician and other health care providers failed to accurately diagnose the cerebral aneurysm. As a result, he became severly ill. After his condition significantly deteriorated, resulting in a more serious condition, he needed more extensive medical treatment.

While waiting for their lawsuit to make its way through the legal system, this couple may be faced with mounting medical bills. Added to their monthly household expenses, they could be faced with a significant financial burden.

All that is required is to fill out a simple online application and let the experts do the rest.

A lawsuit loan may not be the ideal solution for everyone, but it is worth considering when in a tight spot financially due to a personal injury and having to pursue a settlement with the assistance of an attorney.

Lawsuit Alleges Doctors Wrongly Prescribed Medication That Led To Woman’s Death

October 10, 2016

According to a 2006 study, medication errors harm approximately 1.5 million people in the United States every year. Medication errors can occur in many ways, such as if the doctor prescribes the wrong medication, the patient is harmed by a medication that was prescribed to treat a misdiagnosed condition, or the patient is given too much or too little of the drug. Side effects or damage may go undetected for months, even years. If the healthcare provider has failed to provide the accepted standard of care resulting in serious harm or death, the victim, or the family of a deceased loved one, should seek legal counsel to determine his/her rights.

A wrongful death lawsuit was recently filed by the family of a woman who allegedly died after taking medication prescribed by her doctors. According to the lawsuit, doctors failed to properly evaluate the woman’s condition and evaluate her medical history before prescribing Fluconazole, a medication that is used to treat fungal or yeast infections in the body. The complaint states that as a result, the woman suffered serious injuries, which led to severe deterioration in her health and ultimately her death. The lawsuit seeks damages greater than $50,000.

Although no amount of money can bring back their loved one or make up for the pain and suffering they have endured, this family has the right to be compensated. Unfortunately, receiving just compensation can take years, time which is often a financial burden for plaintiffs faced with medical and/or funeral and burial expenses. When a plaintiff does not have the financial resources to wait for justice, litigation funding is a great resource to see the case through to a fair and equitable settlement.

Litigation funding is a cash advance against the proceeds of a case. Without this option, desperate plaintiffs are often forced to settlements too soon, for too little. A plaintiff is eligible for funding once he/she has attorney representation. The next step is to complete an online application or call Litigation Funding Corporation. We will then request case documentation from the plaintiffs’ attorney to determine its strength and the funding amount. Approvals are typical provided within 24 – 48 hours because we do not need a credit check, employment verification, or collateral in order to fund a case. Best of all, there are no payments until the case settles, at which time we are repaid from the proceeds of the settlement. If the case is lost, the plaintiff is under no obligation to repay the cash advance.

Construction Zone Accident Draws Two Lawsuits; Deceased Family Can Seek Litigation Funding

October 6, 2016

Highway construction workers put their lives at risk on a daily basis for the safety of others. Despite all the equipment and other hazardous conditions in an active work zone, traffic remains the most dangerous. Many drivers tend to ignore warning signs; even when they do pay attention speeding and driver inattention/distractions are the major causes of road construction accidents.

A motorists who struck and killed an Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) employee is facing two separate lawsuits – one from the victim’s estate and another from the state highway department.
The ALDOT worker was removing traffic control barriers in a work zone at the time of the crash. It was a rainy morning, and the right lane was closed. According to the crash report, the driver was following too closely when he struck another vehicle. He then veered off the right side of the interstate, striking a trailer attached to the back of an ALDOT truck. Another ALDOT worker was injured when he was struck by the trailer. Then, the negligent driver struck the deceased and the ALDOT truck. The negligent driver claimed the chain of events was caused because another motorist cut him off.

ALDOT is seeking compensatory damages of $21,868, plus costs and expenses. Defendants are the negligent driver and the owners of the vehicle he was driving. The estate of the deceased filed the case last month against the negligent driver and the deceased man’s own insurance company. The lawsuit is asking for a jury trial.

If you suffered a serious injury or lost a loved one in a work zone or construction zone accident, an experienced attorney can make a difference in your case. If you don’t have an attorney, Lawsuit Financial can help you find one, within 24 hours, in all 50 states. Once you retain an attorney, the process of collecting evidence and trying to get your life back to normal begins. But, many lawsuits take months, even years to resolve.

A Lawsuit Cash Advance Helps Lessen the Financial Burden During Pending Medical Malpractice Cases

October 4, 2016

A 75-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in her leg. She was treated and released days later; a blood thinner was prescribed. Less than a week later, the woman woke up in the middle of the night with excruciating pain in her hip and groin area. She was transported by ambulance to the hospital. Although doctors performed no testing, the woman was diagnosed with a musculoskeletal pain attributed to her earlier blood clot, and she was subsequently discharged to a nursing home. A day after arriving at the nursing home, a staff member found the woman in hemorrhagic shock. She was rushed back to the emergency room but ultimately died six weeks later.
Her family filed a lawsuit alleging that the doctor failed to timely diagnose and treat what turned out to be a retroperitoneal hematoma (an accumulation of blood in the portion of the abdomen called the retroperitoneal space). After a six-day trial the jury awarded in favor of the plaintiff.

Nothing can ever replace the loss of a loved one, but Litigation Funding Corporation is happy that the family of the deceased was able to seek justice. While we don’t know their financial situation, this case would have been eligible for litigation funding.

Many plaintiffs often face financial hardship as their bills continue to pile up, during a lengthy litigation process. Litigation Funding Corporation can provide a lawsuit cash advance and help plaintiffs receive some of the proceeds from the case now.

A lawsuit cash advance helps lessen the financial burden until a settlement can be reached. Without the pressure to settle, the attorney has time to obtain just compensation. This type of financing is not provided against assets; rather it is against the potential settlement of the case. That means there is no need for a credit check or employment verification. The cash advance is simply repaid once the case successfully settles. Had this plaintiff applied for, and received, litigation from us and lost her case, we would have completely waived repayment of the cash advance. That is because we assume all the risks when funding clients.

If you have lost a loved one due to medical negligence, filed a lawsuit, and looking for immediate cash while waiting for your case to settle, you may be able to obtain a lawsuit cash advance. Contact Litigation Funding Corporation or complete our online contact form. You could receive financial assistance within 24 – 48 hours.

Obstructive Hydrocephalus Case Reversed On Appeal

October 3, 2016

Filing a medical malpractice lawsuit can be overwhelming, even in a case that appears cut-and-dry. Even after winning your case the decision may be overturned on appeal and you could end up with nothing. One of the most common causes of medical error occurs not when doctors actually do something, but when they don’t. The most common cases of misdiagnosis occur when costly medical tests are skipped or when data from test results is overlooked or misdiagnosed as a less serious condition than it truly is. When this happens, the damage caused to the patient’s health becomes irreversible, leading to chronic pain, sickness or in the following case, death that could have been prevented.

A man went to the hospital in February 2010 with slurred speech; he was confused and disoriented. It was the fourth and most severe such episode he had experienced in eight months. The man was admitted to intensive care and underwent a CT scan and MRI. The neurosurgeon believed the patient may have been suffering from hydrocephalus, which is potentially fatal. The patient was monitored for 24 hours, at which time the neurosurgeon concluded that the patient did not have pressure or fluid on the brain; the infection that developed had resolved. He was released from the hospital five days later. Three months later, his 11-year-old daughter found him dead in bed. The medical examiner determined that the cause of death was fluid on the brain. He left behind a wife and three young children.

The family filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against the doctor claiming that he should have placed a shunt or drain in her husband’s brain and that he was negligent for failing to do so. The jury agreed and awarded a $4.2 million verdict. The amount was lowered to $1.87 due to state caps. The doctor appealed the decision. The higher court agreed with the doctor stating that the decision was based on insufficient and unsupported evidence and that it should be overturned. Specifically, they stated that the plaintiff failed to prove that the doctor was negligent and that this led directly to the patient’s death.

Most likely, the medical expenses alone left this family financially strapped. When a plaintiff is dealing will the loss of income and mounting unpaid bills, litigation funding can be the emergency cash needed to get through the litigation process, including an appeal. Once case documentation is reviewed and the strength of the case determined, approvals can be available within 24 – 48 hours. No money is owed until the case successfully settles, at which time repayment is made from the proceeds of the case. The most attractive part about lawsuit funding is that if the case is lost, as happened on appeal in this case, repayment is completely waived.

If you have filed, or plan to file, a medical malpractice lawsuit and are represented by an attorney, you may be eligible for medical malpractice litigation funding.
