Trucking Company Named in Auto Accident Lawsuit

May 9, 2017

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.

Waiting for a personal injury case to settle can be very difficult financially and mentally. Injuries may prevent the victim from earning a living and support a family. A financially desperate plaintiff is not in a favorable position regarding settlement negotiations; this person will often settle for too little, too soon. Litigation funding helps plaintiffs take care of financial obligations while giving their attorney the time needed to seek appropriate justice.

A Missouri man recently filed an auto accident lawsuit against a commercial trucking company alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that in September 2015, he was traveling in a Dodge Ram pick-up truck when he collided with a semi-truck. The pick-up was heavily damaged and had to be towed from the scene.

The plaintiff alleges that the cause of the crash was because the semi driver failed to reduce speed, failed to yield the right-of-way, and failed to keep a proper lookout. The suit also claims that the trucking company failed provide adequate training and failed to obey the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, Illinois law, safe trucking industry standards and safe commercial truck driving rules.

As a result of the crash, the plaintiff claims he suffered physical injuries and incurred expenses in excess of $60,485.02. He requests a trial by jury and seeks judgment for a sum in excess of $100,000.

During the litigation process, the plaintiff’s attorney must prove the driver of the tractor trailer was negligent at the time of the accident. This could take months, even years.

Elderly Virginia Woman Died in a Three Vehicle Hit-and-Run Crash

April 20, 2017

A hit-and-run driver has been arrested for a car crash that killed an 81-year-old woman Virginia woman.

According to Virginia State Police, the woman was traveling westbound in a 1996 Ford Ranger when a 2015 Chrysler 300 traveling eastbound veered into the westbound traffic and sideswiped the Ranger, as well as a 1998 Lincoln Town Car. The Town Car spun out of control and came to a rest in the roadway. The driver of the Chrysler drove into a ditch and then fled on foot. The elderly woman was taken to an area hospital where she later died as a result of her injuries.

The negligent driver admitted himself to the hospital the next morning with serious injuries. Police later learned that he was the driver that caused the crash, and had signed for the Chrysler, a rental car. The investigation is still ongoing. There have been no reports as to whether the driver was distracted, driving under the influence, or what may have led him to veer into the westbound lane.

Litigation Funding Helps Bridge the Financial Gap Between Filing Suit and Settlement

April 13, 2017

Have you or a loved one been seriously injured in auto accident due to no fault of your own? Are you suing for damages and have attorney representation? If so, auto accident lawsuit funding may be able to help with your finances while your case is pending.

Here is a case example:
A couple was injured in an auto accident in 2014 when a distracted driver rear-ended their vehicle while they were waiting at a traffic light. Due to injuries sustained, the man was unable to return to work for nearly two years. His wife was a stay-at-home mom who was forced to take a part-time job to help pay the bills, but that was still not enough. Three years after the crash, the couple was able to realize a fair settlement, but not before their savings were depleted. In another month, they would have lost their home.

Careless or reckless drivers cause accidents every day, often due to a distracted driver. In a case like this, securing litigation funding could help a plaintiff alleviate some of the financial strain.

Lawsuit funding differs from traditional loans in that there are no payments made until a judgment is rendered or settlement reached. If the plaintiff fails to recover damages, the lawsuit cash advance is not repaid. Additionally, lawsuit funding is structured in such a way that factors such as employment history and credit standing don’t matter. Our only concern is the validity of claim and the likelihood of its success.

The application process takes less than five minutes; we do the rest. After obtaining case documentation from the plaintiff’s attorney, if the case is approved for funding we will direct deposit or wire-transfer the funds within 24 – 48 hours. It is really that simple!

If you are involved in an auto accident lawsuit and need financial ammunition to fight for your rights, consider acquiring lawsuit funding. For more information, call Litigation Funding Corporation today!
