The Ins and Outs of Personal Injury Law

Filed under: Online Legal Resources — admin @ 10:21 am

Personal injury law relates to a wide body of law that governs personal injuries. These are personal injuries sustained in a number of ways and which require treatment, consultation, rehabilitation or compensation. This area of law protects those harmed by recklessness, accident, malpractice and negligence. It also covers claims ranging from motor accidents, product defects, workers compensation and drug defects. Personal injury lawyers specialize in these claims.

If you have suffered a personal injury, you may be eligible for compensation for the resulting injury. This will be in the form of damages — financial compensation that will cover loss of income as a result of the injury, emotional stress, pain and suffering, disabilities and any kind of distress caused by the injury.

There are a number of areas that are covered in the spectrum of injury law. Each case is decided based on two factors, liability and damages. Who is responsibility and on what level and the severity of the damage. Liability is decided based on three levels, negligence, strict liability and intentional wrong. A personal injury lawyer will work through these factors with you to decide on the direction of the case.

  • Negligence - If you are claiming negligence you are claiming the defendant could have prevented the accident and is therefore responsible for not having done so.
  • Strict liability - This is determined predominantly where a product has been found to be defective and as a result has caused injury.
  • Intentional wrong - These claims are often filed alongside criminal claims. This is where a person has intentionally inflicted or caused a personal injury.

You may be eligible to claim if you have sustained an injury in any of the following ways.

  • A fall - If you injure yourself during a slip or fall on someone else’s property you may be able to claim premises liability. An accident lawyer will assist you with a claim like this.
  • Motor vehicle accidents - Accidents involving cars, trucks or motorbike cause serious personal injuries. An accident lawyer or personal injury lawyer can help with these claims.
  • Medical Negligence - In the case of negligence, malpractice or medical mistakes you can claim under personal injury law.
  • Drug defects - If you have sustained injury through the use of prescription drugs that have a defect, have serious side effects or have been recalled.
  • Wrongful deaths - When a person is killed as a result of negligence their family has the right to claim damages.
  • Work place injury - Any injury sustained in the work place can be claimed with the help of a personal injury lawyer.
  • Dog bites - Owners of dogs that bite others will be held liable for sustained injuries.
  • Product defects - Injuries sustained as a result of defective products.
  • Birth Injury - Babies who suffer birth defects as a result of negligence or medical malpractice.

“No Win…No Pay…No Risk” Lawsuit Loan Bridges Financial Gap

Filed under: Online Legal Resources — admin @ 1:29 pm

“No one pays much attention to how a person who has been injured is going to live while waiting for a case to go to trial. The legal system tends to put people who cannot afford to wait for their money at a disadvantage.” - Boston Bar Association Ethics Committee Chairman, Gerry Cohen

With these words millions of U.S. consumers every year find out 1st hand the truthfulness of Mr. Cohen’s assessment, a professional assessment of the legal and insurance industry of this country. “It’s a painful experience one I hope I never have to endure again” describes litigant Kari Spears regarding her dealing with an insurance company liable when she had an auto accident in 1997. The “extreme financial hardship & pressure we as a family endured when I was injured can only be described as a nightmare for both my children and myself. In one evening our whole life was devastated.” Many litigants describe their experience with the system as “being left out to dry by the insurance industry” or “no one cares how much suffering we really experience.” The costs injured plaintiffs sustain are far more than the actual pain and suffering, as Spears states, “injuries affect everything, including your standard of living. After an injury you can’t maintain the same earnings after an accident vs. prior to one. Then throw in the damage to your credit and you begin to know the real long term side effects no one takes into consideration.”

Is there a solution to the dilemma? 1st Choice Funding thinks so as the company has taken the “bull by the horns” and developed a program offering litigants nationwide the opportunity to have cash in hand now, when plaintiffs need it most vs. when settlement finally occurs. The program is called “No Win…No Pay… No Risk” Lawsuit Loan and this innovative approach puts litigants in the position to receive cash prior to settlement with no credit, no employment, no monthly payments, no collateral, and no risk for repayment if a case is not successfully litigated.

“No Win…No Pay… No Risk” Lawsuit Loans are unheard of from traditional banking approaches conventional lenders agree. “1st Choice Funding’s Lawsuit Loans aren’t really loans at all, and that’s why conventional approaches aren’t how funding determinations are made” said company president Timothy S. Gray. Continuing Gray says, “lawsuit loans are what consumers associate our program with, but in reality, what we offer are advances made on future settlement, and that’s something conventional lenders just don’t understand.”

“No Win…No Pay…No Risk” Lawsuit Loans are an answer to many plaintiffs prayers as litigants who have seized the opportunity for cash now are no longer forced into early settlement due to financial hardship. A lawsuit loan buys time, and time can mean the difference in thousands of extra dollars at the time of settlement for litigants. Why? Because time is money and money in the hand of a litigant staves off insurance stall tactics. Make no mistake; delayed settlements are no coincidence. The industry capitalizes interest earnings while forcing many litigants into financial hardship, positioning the plaintiff into a hardship, offering a reduced settlement to increase insurance profitability not lower premiums.”

Kari E. Gray, a 20 year veteran and a senior financial consultant for 1st Choice Funding has generated tens of millions in funding and for clients, while simultaneously saving tens of millions in operations for other clients. As the senior advisor to the firm Ms. Gray has spearheaded innovative financial solutions for clients who include business, industry, plaintiffs and attorneys looking for financial solutions.

Have You Heard About The Prepaid Legal Systems?

Filed under: Online Legal Resources — admin @ 11:31 am

Prepaid legal systems have been around for more than four decades and millions have joined these programs and benefited from it. Yet the majority of folks out there don’t have a clue of what these are. The fact is around seventy percent of households were in a situation where they needed some legal advice or service. These folks were not able to exercise their rights because they were not able to afford even the initial lawyer consultation. Let’s get a closer look at these promising prepaid legal systems that has the capacity to solve this problem.

Prepaid legal system is similar to your health insurance plans, you prepay a preset membership fee and you get access to a preset plan benefits. This is typically offered for groups of employees or unions. The employer deducts the cost from the payroll like how they do for the health insurance. There are many plans open for public membership. You should understand that access to legal system is your birth right. The legal system is a complex beast which has gotten to that complexity due to the abuse it took over years. Every hole that was exploited needed to be plugged and the complexity increased multifold. It is this complexity that makes it hard to know what rights you can exercise, what forms to use to resolve problems. This is where these prepaid systems excel.

There are tons of different plans offered by these prepaid legal plans. These plans could cover as little or as much based on where you live and who lives around you. Puzzled, you should be. The plans are based on the lawyers of each locality. The number of specialized services offered is directly proportional to the capability of the lawyers who have signed up in your locality. Hence it is absolutely mandatory that you evaluate the experts you get access to, if you join the plan. These are typically monthly payment with a yearly commitment or sometimes with a money back timeframe. What these plans offer is peace of mind for some but for some this is an unnecessary expense. If you are in a job prone to frivolous cases and prone to consumer complaints this is going to be very useful. Or if you are in heady waters in a troubled relationship then chances are you may need cheap access to initial lawyer consultation now and then.

There is always the other side of the coin, sometimes it happens that these services offer absolutely no to minimal support for specific cases. It is highly important that you exercise your probability knowledge in here to evaluate if you need to signup for these plans. I have seen a lot of complaints in the Internet where people feel they have wasted their money by subscribing to these services. Well think about the car insurance plans you have. How many times have you gotten back what you have paid, it is the probability that keeps a very huge industry alive and well. Atleast I am in the camp for now who is happy that I have not asked for money back from the car insurance companies :-). I know of a friend who lived happily with nothing to worry and then one day he bought into a scam through Ebay now he is finding all means to get a refund of the thousand dollars he paid the scammer. He is now a person thinking about how to get justice and his money back. These services provide you the much needed initial consultation and give some good discounts for access to lawyers.

I think this article would have given a good start to understanding the prepaid legal systems. And I hope you would start evaluating whether these systems suit your lifestyle and decide if it is a necessary “legal insurance”.
