Paraplegic Settles Construction Zone Auto Accident Lawsuit
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
A Texas couple was recently awarded $6 million resulting from a 2011 construction zone accident that rendered the man a paraplegic. The 68-year-old man was stuck by an oncoming vehicle that crossed the center line. The plaintiff sustained spinal cord injury, a chest flail, and pulmonary contusions. His spine was partially severed, spent 4 months in the hospital, and never regained use of his legs.
The victim and his wife filed a personal injury lawsuit against the negligent driver and a Forth Worth construction company. The suit alleged that the man was driving on a section of repaved roadway when the negligent driver crossed into his lane and slammed into him. The negligent driver alleged that he was attempting to avoid a collision with another vehicle that had suddenly stopped ahead of him due to a traffic back-up in a construction zone. The lawsuit also alleged that the construction company failed to put up warning signs around the construction zone, contributing to the accident.
Construction work continuously occurs on one road or another to improve our roads and create a smoother and safer driving experience. Yet, what most people do not consider is that during the reconstruction process, roads are considerably more dangerous and extra caution must be taken. Accidents are commonly caused by drivers creating sudden stops, taking their eyes off the road to look at active construction, and ignoring construction zone speed limits. Additionally, construction companies must provide adequate warnings for safe travels and motorists approach and proceed through a construction zone.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured or a loved one is killed in an auto accident due to the negligence of someone else, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries. It is important to contact an attorney that specializes in auto accident litigation. But what do you do when your auto accident or wrongful death lawsuit is pending and you have financial obligations you can't meet? This man was in the hospital for 4 months; he and his wife had mounting medical bills. It is sometimes difficult to make ends meet when situations like this occur.

Prom and Graduation Should be Joyous, Lasting Memories
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
Two high school seniors returning from their prom were killed when the male driver lost control, went off the road, and skidded into an embankment before slamming into a tree. The investigation is ongoing, but police said the driver was speeding when he went into a sharp curve in the road. There were no obvious signs of drugs or alcohol being a factor; toxicology results are pending. Both teens were pronounced dead at the scene.
Although alcohol and drugs may not have played a role in this fatal auto accident, prom and graduation is a perfect time to remind high school students of the dangers. Did you know that one-third of all alcohol-related traffic fatalities involving teens occur during the months of April through June, prom and graduation season?
This is a joyous time for graduates and their families. Don't let these high school memories result in pain, suffering, even death. Talk to your teen about the dangers. Don't take the "not my kid" position. If you don't talk to your kids, someone else will and it might not be the message you want them to hear. Teach them to think before they drink, think about the consequences, and think about the long-term effects of alcohol or drug abuse. Here are a few important tips for parents:
1. Know who's driving all evening: Are your kids or a friend driving, is there a designated driver, or will they be renting a limo? Make sure your teen has money to cover alternative transportation costs (cab?), if necessary.
2. Make sure your teen has a way of contacting you throughout the evening and that you can contact your teen.
3. Get the evening's itinerary as well as a list of names and phone numbers of each person with your teen. Know who is supervising the events your teen is attending.
4. Make sure your teen knows how to handle difficult situations; talk to your teenage about drinking and not driving, avoiding accepting a ride from a drunk driver, rejecting offers of excessive alcohol or legal & illegal drugs, or not succumbing to pressure to engage in sexual activity.
Auto accidents can and will happen despite warnings, communications, and acting responsibly because unfortunately some people are still negligent and irresponsible. If you find yourself or a loved one seriously injured, or a loved one dies as the result of someone else's neglect, it is imperative to seek legal counsel immediately. Even so, you may be part of a very long lawsuit process causing financial strain on you and your family. During this time, ordinary expenses coupled with accident related expense and time off from work can cause financial disaster. When you are trying to recover from your injuries; financial difficulties just add insult onto injury. If you find yourself in this situation, lawsuit funding may provide the help you need. At Lawsuit Financial, we provide the money you need and time your attorney needs to make the legal system work for you. You no longer have to settle your case for less than it is worth to avoid the financial nightmare. Contact Lawsuit Financial for a no-cost, no-obligation consultation.
Four Year Old Medical Malpractice Lawsuit Results in a $4.7 Million Award. An Appeal is Anticipated
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
In 2007, a woman was admitted to the hospital for what is considered "a simple procedure" - surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome. The procedure required anesthesia and a tube down her throat. The surgery on her wrist was successful, but while the woman was in recovery, she complained of severe chest and throat pain when swallowing. Her complaints were ignored and she was discharged from the hospital.
Fortunately, a neighbor stopped by the next day to check on the woman because the neighbor found her almost unconscious. Upon being rushed to the hospital, doctors diagnosed a massive chest infection caused by a perforated esophagus. The woman overcame all odds after being in a coma, undergoing several surgeries, and a 2 month hospital stay. She is unable to work and left with permanent damage; a feeding tube is necessary for her to eat.
The woman filed a medical malpractice lawsuit alleging that a nursing student placed the tube down her throat and ruptured her esophagus. The patient claimed the mistake forced everything she swallowed to leak into her chest. After a four year legal battle, the case settled for $4.7 million.
Unfortunately, this case is not over. The hospital alleges that the woman had an unfortunate yet known complication of anesthesia, and that negligence was not a factor. It plans to appeal the decision and has asked for another trial.
An appeal will result in further delays, further uncertainty, and increased financial distress. This is mostly likely another major financial setback for this victim due to loss of wages and past and future medical expenses. Litigation funding may have helped her during the lawsuit; it can help her during a potential appeal.

Speed and Drugs Likely Cause of Double Pedestrian Fatality
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
Have you ever been driving and had a "gut feeling" that an accident is going to happen? This is exactly how one man describes the moments before two men and a dog were killed as they walked along Galveston, Texas roadway.
The man said he was driving his pick-up truck when he noticed a Mitsubishi traveling at a high rate of speed preceding a curve in the road. He said the pulled over concerned how the driver would manipulate the road. The next thing he saw was the Mitsubishi slide sideways before disappearing in a "cloud of dust."
The details are unclear, but what is known is that the driver of the Mitsubishi hit an unoccupied parked vehicle before hitting the two male pedestrians and a dog. One pedestrian and the dog died at the scene; the other pedestrian was bleeding from the back of his head. He was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.
An investigation is ongoing; police are reconstructing the accident. What appears to be obvious is that the driver was speeding. Witnesses allege that one person in the Mitsubishi attempted to conceal a narcotics pipe, which police were able to confiscate. Blood samples from the driver are pending.
The families of the victims will most likely consult an experienced auto-pedestrian accident attorney. If after consulting with an attorney, the families file a wrongful death lawsuit, they should expect to face a long litigation process. If bills start piling up, the ability to wait for their lawsuit to settle may not be an option.

Category: Lawsuit Funding News
A $9 million lawsuit was recently settled out of court in the wrongful death of a man who died in a fiery accident after a truck driver had a seizure and drove into oncoming traffic. The truck driver experienced a prior seizure three weeks before the fatal accident although a physician allegedly cleared him to continue driving. The physician contends that he was not informed of the prior seizure. The U.S. Department of Transportation prohibits a truck driver from working for up to ten years if suspected of a seizure. The wrongful death lawsuit was filed by the victim's sons.
The vast majority of wrongful death cases take longer than this one as it winds through the litigation process. All too often, the insurance companies will "delay, deny, confuse and refuse." However, this may not always be the case; damage recovery does not always require a trial and jury verdict.

A Scenic Route for Cyclists Proves Deadly
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
During the early morning of April 3, 2011, a negligent driver took the life of father and son cyclists. Witnesses said the driver of a Buick sedan had veered off the road several times before hitting the cyclists. The father died at the scene; his17-year-old son was rushed to the hospital in critical condition where he died from head injuries.
An investigation into the fatal accident, proved the driver was under to influence of alcohol and mephedrone, a synthetic stimulant commonly referred to as bath salts. Police found a straw in the Buick with the white powder residue, a bottle of Bacardi 151, and an empty bottle of Southern Comfort inside the vehicle, and a bottle of wine in the trunk. The investigation also determined that the driver did not brake before or after hitting the two cyclists. The toxicology report revealed he had a blood alcohol level of 0.13, almost double the legal limit.
Although the driver admitted he felt "foggy" from snorting the stimulant, he did not feel his driving was impaired. Recalling the moments before the accident, the man said he remembers reaching for his cell phone then heard a loud noise and glass breaking. He claims he never crossed the center line prior to striking the man and his son.
The negligent driver was recently found guilty on numerous counts, including two counts of second degree murder, two counts of felony death by motor vehicle, reckless driving to endanger, and one count of open container. He was sentenced to 24 - 30 years.
While nothing will bring back this man and his son, their family may wish to file a wrongful death for compensation associated with the loss of their loved ones. An auto accident attorney can decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for their loss.

Mounting Lawsuits for Perry Hospital
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
The lawsuits continue to mount in the case of a Perry Hospital radiology technician accused of falsely entering negative results for 1,289 mammograms between January 2009 and April 2010. Of 1,289 mammograms, 10 were actually positive. As a result, those 10 women suffered delayed breast cancer diagnoses and significant harm to their health and prognoses; three of the women died.
The latest suit alleges that in 2008 and again in 2009 the victim was told that her mammogram results were normal. When Perry learned of the falsified records, the woman was asked to return for a repeat mammogram at which time the results showed metastatic breast cancer. By this time, her treatment options were limited; she died two months later. The lawsuit contends that the delay in her diagnosis caused the breast cancer to metastasize and accelerate which ultimately caused her death.
The number of patients seriously injured or who die from medical mistakes remains staggeringly high. When someone's death is caused by an negligent or reckless misconduct, the surviving family members are often left wondering what could have been done. If properly diagnosed, these women would have been treated and most likely be with their loved ones today.

Category: Lawsuit Funding News
A Philadelphia jury awarded $2.3 million to a woman killed in a December 2009 auto accident. During the proceedings, an accident reconstruction expert confirmed that the victim was making a left turn when she was struck from behind by the defendant.

After Five Years a Disabled Man Receives Justice
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
In January 2007, a woman lost control of her vehicle, crossed the median and struck a Chevrolet pick-up truck. The top of the truck and the "Jaws of Life" were needed to free the driver from the truck. Since that horrible day, the man has gone through seven surgeries and is still unable to return to his job as a mechanic.
An innocent man, who happened to be in the wrong place and the wrong time waited five long years to seek justice; a jury awarded him $2.37 million. Why in a case that appeared to be "cut and dry"; a case where the defendant is obviously at faulty? It is because insurance companies are notorious for engaging in a frivolous defense. They deny, delay, and defend as a means of discouraging claimants from pursuing their legitimate claims. It is part of their scheme to wriggle out of paying for their negligence. Even for plaintiffs with a strong chance of winning, these tactics can still be employed because the defense can afford to stall.
Lawsuits are expensive; the majority of injured people who make claims do not have significant assets. Victims may, or may not, struggle financially in a long battle for justice. If the injured person is unable to work, has reduced income, or has expenses associated with care or disability; it may not be possible to wait until the end of the lawsuit before obtaining funds. This is why Lawsuit Financial was founded.

A Utah man injured in an auto accident shortly after placing a 911 call has died.

Shortly before the accident, he called 911 telling a dispatcher that the brakes on his Land Rover had failed and the ignition pedal was stuck. The call was immediately cut off. When the Utah Highway Patrol arrived, the Land Rover was found in a ditch 50 yards from the edge of the road.
Police said the vehicle was traveling approximately 80 mph when it veered off the road and hit a concrete barrier before rolling off the highway. The man was ejected from the vehicle and found unconscious. He suffered severe head injuries and died nine days later. He was not wearing a seatbelt.

Investigation Reveals Disabled Safety Device Resulted in Advertising Exec's Death
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
As an advertising executive stepped into an elevator, it started rising with the doors still open pinning half of the woman's body in the elevator shaft between the first and second floors. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
A two-month investigation concluded that the accident was caused by a bypassed safety circuit that mechanics had disabled during earlier maintenance. Video footage showed elevator mechanics leaving the building a minute before the fatal accident.
During the maintenance repair, a mechanic overrode a safety circuit that normally prevents elevators from moving with the doors open. The procedure, known as jumping, is often done during repairs so workers can position a car between floors, open the doors to the elevator shaft, and step onto the top of the car to work. The mechanic insisted that he put the safety system back, but an investigation concluded that the mechanism was apparently bypassed at the time of the fatal incident.
According to the Department of Investigation Commissioner, "workers and their supervisors failed to follow the most basic safety procedures, and their carelessness cost a woman her life. Besides putting the elevator back into service without proper clearance, workers failed to follow simple precautions such as posting signs warning of a repair was in progress. The elevator back in service before an inspection was performed after the repair. If the proper safety measures were in place, this tragedy could have been prevented.
According to officials, the workers did three things wrong. They never re-enabled the safety circuit after performing the upgrade and restoring the elevator to normal service. They did not post a warning that work was being performed, as required under the city's building code. And they did not call the Buildings Department for an inspection, as legally required, before putting the elevator back into service.
Victims of an accident directly related to the failure or malfunction of an elevator, should consult an experienced attorney. If you have been seriously injured or lost a love one in an elevator accident, an experienced elevator accident attorney can help determine negligence or a defective product claim and determine your legal rights to seek compensation for damages.
Due to the complexity of elevator lawsuits, the litigation process may be far off. A lawsuit cash advance can provide the financial security of paying bills while waiting for a fair and full settlement. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in an elevator accident and are searching for lawsuit funding, begin by contacting Lawsuit Financial.

A Birthday Celebration Ends in Four Deaths. Now One Family has Filed a Wrongful Death Lawsuit
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
Four elderly women died in an auto accident when the driver of a semi-tractor trailer ran a red light and crashed into their vehicle. The women were turning out of a country club parking lot, where they had lunch to celebrate the 95th birthday of one of the victims, when the accident occurred. Their 2000 Infiniti I30 was pushed more than 75 feet. The driver and one passenger were pronounced dead at the scene; two other passengers were transported to an area hospital and later died from injuries sustained.
Five months after the fatal accident, a wrongful death lawsuit against the truck driver and his employer has been filed by the family of one of the victims. The lawsuit accuses the truck driver of "willful and wanton disregard for the safety of others" by taking his eyes off the road and intentionally running a red light. The plaintiff's attorney said that a lengthy investigation shows a long list of traffic violations on the truck driver's record from running red lights, to speeding and driving while intoxicated although all incidents were prior to 1998. Additionally, the suit contends that the trucking company has a history of safety violations and poorly maintaining their trucks. The suit seeks reimbursement for hospital bills, pain and suffering, the diminished value of the woman's estate "had she lived out the term of her natural life," the loss of parental services and support, companionship, comfort, guidance, and affection. The lawsuit will be set for trial in 12-18 months.

East Carolina University Bus Causes Chain-Reaction Accident
Category: Lawsuit Funding News
An accident involving an East Carolina University (ECU) transit bus sent five people to the hospital with injuries. According to police, the bus, which transports students around campus, rear-ended a vehicle, which then hit the back of a truck. Both vehicles were stopped at the time of the accident. There were eight people on the bus; none were injured.
The investigation is pending although driver negligence appears to be a factor. The bus driver, an ECU student, told police that he was looking in the rear view mirror and then noticed the stopped vehicles in front of him. Police believe speeding also played a role. An investigation is also underway into the policies and procedures for training of bus drivers.
Campus transit bus service is the easiest and most cost effective way to get around a college campus. When college students board one of these buses, they assume that the driver is responsible and has been properly trained, the driver does not have a negligent or careless driving record, and the bus is safe from defects and has been properly maintained. Unfortunately, these are not always correct assumptions; bus accidents can happen, causing serious personal injuries, even fatalities.
The interesting fact about this accident is that ECU is that it employs enrolled students to drive the buses. Although not well-known, college campuses nationwide have a common practice of hiring students as bus drivers. Job flexibility is the biggest draw. While this is a great way for college kids to earn money, are they properly trained to drive these buses before being put behind the wheel? Not only does the driver need to become acclimated to the size of the bus, but there are other pressures too such as traffic and distractions from passengers.
In bus accidents such as this one, the injured victims may be able to seek compensation for medical expenses, including hospitalization, surgery, and physical therapy, and other damages. If the victims and their families file a lawsuit to seek compensation and justice, it could be a long process between the final investigation report and a settlement. Some may experience financial duress due to the medical bills incurred as a result of injuries.
Lawsuit funding is an option for auto accident victims. Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against a pending lawsuit. There are no upfront fees, no monthly payments, and the cash advance is only repaid if and when the plaintiff wins. This no-risk cash advance can be available to the plaintiff within 24 - 48 hours of approval. To learn more about this valuable service, call Lawsuit Financial or visit us online.
