Two Spectators Killed after ATV Competition Accident in Alabama

April 28, 2017

Those who host a public event need to understand that they have the responsibility for the safety of their guests. If careless, negligent and reckless acts of the defendant results in an injury or death of a guest, the victim has the right to be compensated for under a personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit.

Two spectators died after an ATV accident at an off-highway vehicle park event in Bremen Alabama.
A 34-year-old male died and the scene and a 22-year-old female was pronounced dead at the hospital after being struck by an ATV that flipped, according to reports. Three other people suffered injuries.

While no other specific details about the accident have been confirmed, witnesses at the scene said that the ATV was in a competition at the park when it ascended a hill before the drive lost control and flipped into spectators.
An investigation is under way.

When someone has been seriously injured or lost a loved one in an ATV accident, they may have the right to seek compensation for their injuries or loss. A lawsuit could potentially lay out a litany of issues including improper placement of spectators, a poorly designed “track”, a defective ATV, and/or an inexperienced driver. While Lawsuit Financial cannot provide legal consultation for ATV accidents, once a lawsuit has been filed by an experienced attorney, we can assist plaintiffs in securing lawsuit funding until the case settles.

Lawsuit funding is a transaction where a plaintiff sells a portion of the proceeds of the settlement in exchange for immediate cash. The advance can be used anyway the client wishes, but it meant to cover mortgage payments, car payments, funeral and burial expenses, medical expenses, and ongoing daily living expenses. This is a non-recourse cash advance, meaning that it is only repaid when the case successfully settles. If the case fails, the plaintiff keeps the money, free of charge.

A lawsuit cash advance is a perfect solution for plaintiffs who are unable to secure a traditional bank loan, obtain funds from relatives, or have salable assets. These legal finance transactions are based on the strength of the case; credit and employment status do not matter. Our online application takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Funding can often be available in less than 48 hours after receipt of a completed application.

If you are experiencing financial hardship as a result of an ATV accident, don’t let the financial stress of pursuing compensation through the legal system force you to accept an early settlement offer. A lawsuit cash advance from Litigation Funding Corporation may give you the financial staying power to endure the legal process and obtain a larger award.

Lawsuit Alleges Failure to Promptly Treat Fast-Growing Abdominal Cyst Resulted in Newborn’s Death

April 27, 2017

A wrongful death lawsuit alleges medical negligence cause the death of a newborn.

The lawsuit stems from the 2016 death of a newborn baby. The suit alleges that a doctor failed to promptly take appropriate action when a fast-growing cyst was detected in during a pre-birth ultrasound.

The baby underwent bowel surgery after birth, but was only two days old when she died. The lawsuit says the baby would have survived if the Nebraska doctor had ordered an immediate evaluation of the growth in her bowel and had sent her for treatment before she was given any food.

To meet pressing financial obligations during the pending lawsuit, the family may wish to apply for litigation funding. Unlike a traditional bank loan, this type of cash advance can be provided without obstacles or risks.

Litigation funding is based solely on case strength, not credit or employment status. If the case is reviewed and appears to be winnable, the request for funding will likely be approved with the money available within 24 – 48 hours. Repayment only occurs once the case successfully settles, at which time we are repaid from the case proceeds. However, if the case is lost, we will completely waive repayment of the case advance.

While litigation funding cannot solve physical and emotional issues, a lawsuit cash advance can substantially lessen financial issues. 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. The application process is quick and easy online or by calling Litigation Funding Corporation toll-free at 1-866-LITFUND. We are also happy to offer a free, no-obligation consultation or funding analysis of your case.

Hit-and-Run Driver of Bicyclist Was Found Intoxicated and Refused a Breathalyzer Test

April 4, 2017

An unlicensed and allegedly drunk hit-and-run driver struck and killed a Queens food deliveryman has he pedaled his bike on his way home from work. Witnesses called 911. The cyclist was rushed to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. The victim was a 32-year-old father of three young children.

Approximately four hours later, police located the negligent driver at an auto repair shop. Police said he was clearly intoxicated, but refused to take a breathalyzer test. He was arrested and charged with driving while impaired, aggravated unlicensed driving, refusal to take a breath test, and driving a vehicle without an interlock device.

The fact that he has been charged with driving a vehicle that doesn’t have an interlock device reveals that he has had at least one prior DWI conviction. In 2009, Leandra’s Law made it so that anyone who was found guilty of Driving While Intoxicated after August 15th, 2010 would need to have an ignition interlock device installed on each vehicle they own or regularly operate.

He will likely face additional charges of vehicular manslaughter, officials said. According to reports, the negligent driver has had his license revoked at least twice before, most recently in 2014.

While this is a devastating time for the bicyclist’s family, his wife should consult an experienced auto accident attorney to understand her rights. A wrongful death lawsuit can compensate the family for funeral and burial expenses and provide compensation for the loss of his income, loss of consortium, and even emotional trauma.

In the meantime, neighbors have started taking donations to help the family with this unexpected loss. However, the donations may not be enough to survive a long legal process. Once a lawsuit is filed, the family may wish to apply for litigation funding, a lawsuit cash advance in exchange for a portion of the future proceeds of the case.

Litigation Funding Corporation is a reputable legal finance company helping victims regain control of their lives and their finances while their attorney focuses on strengthening their case to obtain the compensation justly deserved. Our cash advances are based on the strength of the case; credit and employment are irrelevant. If approved for funding, the money can be available in as little as 24 hours.

Litigation funding is risk-free because repayment is contingent upon a successful recovery. If the case is lost, however, repayment is excused.

In the right situation, for the right plaintiff, litigation funding is clearly a service that plaintiffs should consider at a strategic time in the litigation. If you are the victim of an auto accident a civil suit could be your only recourse when attempting to recover the costs of medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages, or other economic damages. After filing a lawsuit, if you are experiencing financial hardship, contact Litigation Funding Corporation for a “staying power” advantage, so you can fight for justice and the compensation you deserve.

Family Files Lawsuit Alleging Construction Company and Employee Negligence in Motorcycle Crash

March 28, 2017

The family of a motorcyclist killed in an auto accident last summer has filed a wrongful death and negligence lawsuit against a construction company and one of its employees.

The 25-year-old motorcyclist was riding is 2002 Suzuki when a flatbed truck turned left in front of him, without yielding. The motorcyclist slammed into the truck and lost control. He was run over by the rear passenger tire of the truck and sustained fatal injuries, according to reports. The motorcyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the crash. The truck driver suffered minor injuries. He was ticketed three months after the crash for failure to yield while turning left.

According to the lawsuit, the truck driver allegedly failed to properly control the vehicle, failed to yield to oncoming traffic while turning left at an intersection, and was travelling at a speed greater than was reasonable given the traffic conditions.

The truck driver contends that he had been slowing to a stop, preparing to turn left, when he saw the motorcycle traveling toward him. He said the motorcyclist flashed his lights and slowed to allow the truck to continue its left turn, so he proceeded into the intersection, according to reports.

The lawsuit seeks compensation “in excess of the minimum jurisdictional amount,” plus the cost of the lawsuit. In this case, that’s in excess of $50,000, plus the lawsuit costs.

Now that a lawsuit has been filed, the family may wish to inquire about litigation funding.

Litigation funding is a viable choice for cash-strapped plaintiffs because it can help meet living expenses, pay for medical care and funeral expenses, and cover other daily needs. Eligibility is based on attorney representation and a strong case. Once these qualifications are met, the application process is quick and easy; it takes less than five minutes online or over the phone. Next, we will obtain basic information about the case from the plaintiff’s attorney.

Litigation funding is based solely on the merits of the lawsuit; credit rating or job status does not matter. After our underwriters review the information, if the case is approved, funds can be available within 24 – 48 hours. Repayment is made from the proceeds of the case, and there is obligation to repay the cash advance if the case is lost. That is correct – we only get paid back the cash advance if our client successfully settles.

Litigation funding might be just the answer if you have been injured or lost a loved one in an auto accident, your personal funds are running out, and your case has not settled.

Family Settles Wrongful Death Lawsuit with Health Care Agency

March 8, 2017

Wrongful death lawsuits are typically filed by the family members of the deceased. Although nothing can heal the pain or bring a loved one back, bringing justice to those responsible for a wrongful death can bring peace of mind to the family and also help bring about change so others don’t suffer from the same wrongdoing.

In July 2015, we posted a blog to this site after an elderly woman with dementia died from injuries sustained after being thrown from her wheelchair while riding in a van with a caregiver. The family of the deceased woman filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the health care agency that employed the driver.

According the claim, the caregiver failed to properly strap in the woman before getting behind the wheel. Once on the road, for unknown reasons, the driver “suddenly and unexpectedly” braked, causing the woman to be thrown from her wheelchair into the dashboard. The lawsuit alleged that the caregiver sought help from “Good Samaritans” to get the woman back in the wheelchair, then took the woman back to her residence without seeking medical attention or calling an ambulance or police. The suit also claims the elderly woman’s family was not notified of the incident, and was later lied to about what happened. The elderly woman ultimately died four months later from multiple broken bones and internal injuries, according to the lawsuit.

Litigation Funding Corporation is happy to report that the family has reached an undisclosed settlement with the health care agency.

Sadly, it is only after innocent people are seriously injured or killed that something is done. The defendant said that they have implemented additional measures to protect the elderly and to reduce the risk of similar transportation accidents. “These protective measures include the purchase of safety harnesses for transporting the elderly and disabled; mandatory safety seminars for caregivers using the transportation van; increased supervision over all caregivers; and stringent hiring practices that include active and comprehensive driving records checks on caregivers that could possibly be transporting clients.”

The caregiver currently has first-degree felony injury to an elderly person charges pending against her.

Nebraska Man Charged with Manslaughter Following Fatal Drunk Driving Crash

March 3, 2017

A single-vehicle crash in central Nebraska claimed the life of two young men, after a heavy-duty pick-up truck left the roadway, ran into a ditch, and rolled at least one full rotation before coming to a rest. Two passengers were ejected; they were pronounced dead at the scene. The driver and three other passengers were taken treated for injuries at a nearby hospital. Multiple beer cans allegedly were recovered from the accident scene.

Police reports state the driver had a blood alcohol level of .09; the legal limit to drive in Nebraska is .08. He was charged with two counts of felony manslaughter and driving under the influence of alcohol. He could face up to 40 years in prison. He could also face wrongful death lawsuits.

An experienced auto accident attorney can help protect the rights of the victims and help them receive compensation for their loss. Even with the help of an experienced attorney, a lawsuit can drag on as the insurance company for the negligent driver will most likely deny fault and delay the litigation process. For the victim’s family, life won’t wait for a lawsuit to settle nor should they be forced to settle for pennies on the dollar because of pressing financial needs. When finances are an issue, litigation funding can be a solution.

Litigation funding is a cash advance of an expected settlement. Its main purpose is to assist plaintiffs with the likely loss of wages, mounting medical bills, funeral expenses, daily household bills, and other out-of-pocket expenses until a settlement is reached. Unlike a traditional bank loan; funding can be obtained without the need for a credit check or employment verification; the only collateral required is a pending lawsuit. Funding is based strictly on case strength.

Request for funding applications can be made over the phone or online, with approvals as quickly as 24 hours. Once a contract is signed, the money is sent via overnight mail or direct deposit. Funding is provided on a non-recourse basis. When the case settles, the cash advance is repaid from the case proceeds. If the plaintiff fails in achieving a settlement, repayment is completely waived.

If you have been seriously injured or lost a loved one due to a drunk driver and need financial assistance, consider litigation funding to help wage your legal battle for the best possible settlement. Contact the experienced and professional staff at Litigation Funding Corporation. We would be happy to answer all your questions and help you understand the lawsuit finance process.

Company Fined after Worker Crushed to Death by 3,000-pound Concrete Form

February 28, 2017

Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthy workplaces for their employees. Unfortunately, many employers’ shortcut OSHA standards exposing employees to significant increased risk of harm and workplace injury.

A 47-year-old man was killed in an industrial accident on August 22, 2016 while working at a concrete plant in Lake Hallie, Wisconsin.

According to a report by the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department, the man was pinned beneath a piece of heavy industrial equipment because some safety measures weren’t followed. The report states that the 3,000-pound concrete form was hoisted four to six feet in the air before it came loose and fell on the worker. The hoist had two hooks – main and secondary. “It is believed that a secondary hook was not fully hooked,” according to the report. “This hook also did not have a safety latch which may have been a contributing factor.” The worker died instantly, suffering massive trauma to his head, chest and abdomen.

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently issued two citations to the Wisconsin company, which has 15 days to pay the $135,804 fine, enter into talks with OSHA, or contest them to the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission.

In addition to the fines, the company could face a civil lawsuit.

A wrongful death suit can be filed when a loved one is killed due the negligence of another party. Unfortunately, such claims could take years to wind through the legal process, leaving family members to bear the financial burden until a settlement is reached. When there is little or no life insurance, savings, or other funding sources, plaintiffs may be eligible for litigation funding.

At Litigation Funding Corporation, we evaluate case success and potential case value to determine if we can provide a plaintiff with a lawsuit cash advance. The primary objective in strategic litigation financing is to remove financial pressure to settle early and cheap, and to assure that the victims of a tragedy like this receive the compensation they deserve.

Litigation funding is based solely on the merits of the case; credit rating or job status does not matter. The application process is simple and if approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be available within 24 – 48 hours. Upon approval and a signed contract, the funds can be sent within 24 – 48 hours either by wire or by check. The money can be used immediately pay medical bills, funeral expenses, or any other costs associated with the accident and/or to deal with monthly financial obligations. The best part of a lawsuit cash advance is that it’s 100% risk-free. If the case is lost, our clients are under no obligation to repay the cash advance.
