from these accidents with minor injuries, these injuries can persist and could affect the daily lives of these individuals. No matter how minor the injury, a car accident could possibly affect employment and normal lifestyle. A common injury sustained in such accidents is whiplash.

Injuries like whiplash and related injuries are caused by immediate jerked reaction on the neck. This usually occurs when there is a sudden stop or car collision with another car or object. It is quite common of passengers in the back seats of the car to feel whiplash when rear-ended by another car as well the as driver and front-passenger of the car that rear-ended.

Your automotive or health insurance could protect you from such injuries but that is not always the case. Of course, the claim can only be made if there were actual medical costs involved with the injury. If there were no professional consultations or treatments at a medical facility, then a whiplash settlement cannot be made. But depending on the degree the injury, the settlement can be negotiated directly with the insurance company by you. Smaller injuries are easier to get settlement than more serious injuries, but a lawyer could get the best settlement from your insurance provider.

Injury Caused By Tire Blowout and Accident

Tire Blowout Lawsuit Claim Can Qualify for Legal Funding Loan

Tire blowouts can cause some serious vehicle accidents. If you were involved in a accident

caused by a blowout, you should be aware of a few driver’s legal responsibilities. We will discuss when someone can be held responsible for an accident caused by tire blowout and how it could be avoided.

Driver’s Legal Duties

All drivers are required “by law” to drive at a normal and reasonable circumstances. If the unexpected blowout occurred during normal driving conditions, such as unavoidable debris on the road, no one can be held responsible for the accident. However, unreasonable actions after a sudden flat, such as slamming the brakes or swerving into oncoming traffic, can make that individual liable for all injuries and vehicle damages caused by the unreasonable actions.

Duty to Inspect

Every vehicle owner should inspect his or her vehicle to spot any problems before it becomes too late. This does not mean you need to know every aspect of fixing a car, but enough to identify something is wrong.

Tires are very easy to maintain. For instance, noticing the thread of the tires or noticeable defects in the tire is the vehicle owner’s responsibility. If the owner is sued after a blowout, the owner cannot claim to have not known of the problem, because the law requires the owner to be aware of all things associated with the car.

In case the problem was not obvious but had persisted for weeks or months, an automotive specialist who has worked on the car and could have discovered the defect can be held liable. While it is up to the jury to decide who is ultimately liable, all of these factors will be taken into consideration.

Manufacturer and Installer Liability

As mentioned before, an automotive specialist can be held responsible if it was not detected in the last time the car was thoroughly checked. This includes not installing the tires properly or installing the wrong type of tire. However, manufacturers can also be held responsible for a defective tire if the blowout was caused by a manufacturing design error. Retailer can also be held for damages if the tire was damaged at the showroom.

Getting Legal Advice

If you do end up in a blowout lawsuit, some expert legal advice might be necessary, especially to determine who is liable and whether the accident could have been prevented. An attorney can handle complicated legal issues to deal with manufacturing or installation defects.

If you find yourself in a lawsuit caused by a tire blowout, you would be eligible for a pre-cash settlement from Interstate Lawsuit Funding.

For individuals with a lawsuit who need cash now, a pre-settlement cash advance is available in the form of a no-risk, no-credit check lawsuit loan.

Discrimination Suit Wins in Detroit, MI

Workplace Discrimination Qualifies for Legal Funding Loan

In the United States, employees are protected against discrimination by federal law. In

Get cash now before your discrimination suit settles. Click here to fill out our simple 30-Second Application to find out how much money we can send you.

Detroit, Michigan a federal court awarded a large settlement to Ali Aboubaker, a Muslim-American at the center of an employment discrimination case. Prior to being fired, the 56-year-old maintenance worker claimed that he was passed over for promotions and eventually fired due to his religious an ethnic background.

Discrimination in the workplace is grounds to file a personal injury claim. Before winning his $1.1 million lawsuit, Aboubaker lost everything, including his family and his house. There are specific laws laid out by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that prevents employers from getting away with discriminatory behavior.

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) – makes it illegal to discriminate against a person due to their race, color, religion, national origin, or sex. It also makes it illegal to retaliate against a person who has complained about discrimination or who has filed a discrimination case.
The Pregnancy Discrimination Act – makes it illegal to discriminate against a woman who is pregnant, or who has any condition related to pregnancy and childbirth.
The Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) – makes it illegal to pay different wages to men and women if they work in the same workplace and perform equal work.
The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA) – protects people who are 40 years of age or older from discrimination due to age.
Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990(ADA) – makes it illegal to discriminate against a qualified person with a disability in state and local governments.
Section 102 and 103 of the Civil Rights Act of 1991 – this law amends Title VII and the ADA to allow jury trials and compensatory damage awards in discrimination cases.
Section 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 – makes it illegal to discriminate against a qualified person with a disability in the federal government.
The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 – makes it illegal to discriminate against both employees and applicants because of genetic information.

While discrimination should never occur in the workplace, unfortunately, it often does. Sometimes the victim of such behavior is not aware of the outlined laws set up to protect them against discriminatory behavior. More importantly, discrimination should never been tolerated. Fortunately, Ali Aboubaker recognized his rights as an American citizen and fought his former employer on discrimination and wrongful termination resulting in one of the biggest settlements in a discrimination case.

In most cases of workplace discrimination, the victim is out of work while going through the litigation process. This can be financially and emotionally stressful, but with a pre-settlement loan, the financial burden can be eased. If you have been a victim of workplace discrimination and have a pending case, Interstate Lawsuit Funding can provide a lawsuit loan cash advance of up to $5,000 while you wait for your final settlement.

Qualifying for a lawsuit loan is based solely upon the merits you case, so there is no credit check or proof of income to apply. Get started by filling out the 30-second application.

Injured in a Drunk Driving Accident

Drunk Driving Lawsuits Can Qualify for Legal Funding Loan

Pre-settlement cash advance loans to individuals involved with injuries caused by drunk

lawsuit funding for drunk driving injuries.

Injured by a drunk driver? You have a settlement coming your way but need some of that cash now. Call us right now or Click Here to fill out our simple 30-Second Application. We respond fast and send your money fast because we know life goes on while you wait for your case to settle.

driving are available in 46 states plus Washington, DC. Drunk driving is one of the most common causes of motor vehicle accidents. Even a slight impairment could mean a severe injury to someone else. Drunk driving causes numerous losses in human lives as well as property damage.

While auto accidents happen at any time, drunk driving is an unnecessary risk to one-self and others that should avoided at any cost. Since such accidents are preventable, it could be argued that these cannot be considered accidents; instead, they are acts committed with intent, i.e. the driver knew s/he was under the influence before deciding to drive.

Drunk Driving Injury Statistics

According to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), in 2012, 10,322 people died from drunk driving crashes, which comes to nearly one death an hour. But when considering the number of injuries, that number climbs to nearly 350,000, or nearly one injury every 90 seconds. While MADD been one of the contributors to lowering percentage of drunk driving deaths from 60% in 1982 to 37% in 2007, there are still a lot of injuries that take place every day that could easily be avoided.

Here are a few more statistics:

Drunk driving is the leading criminal cause of death in the US.
More that 40% of motor vehicle accidents have alcohol involved.
Repeated offenders of drunk driving cause 60% of all alcohol-related injuries.
Drunk driving accidents cost the US $132 Billion a year.

If you or your family finds yourselves with a personal injury claim resulting from drunk driving, Interstate Lawsuit Funding will be able to help with the costs. Unfortunately, the high expense of legal costs in the US affects most families with such lawsuits. Without any fault of their own, families find themselves in a midst of a lawsuit and medical costs when an important family member, sometimes the main source of income for the family, is injured or killed in the accident.

This can be a very stressful process that can push the families into financial burden very quickly, even before an insurance settlement is made. This is where a pre-settlement cash loan could ease the burden, at least the financial one.

This fast, affordable, risk-free funding is not really a loan at all; the cash advance, which could be up to $5,000, is based solely on the merits of the case and can reach the family in less than 48 hours. This means there is no need for credit checks or proof income. If you do not win your case, then we will not require you to pay off the loan. We guarantee the loan will not affect your personal valuables or credit history.

Hurt in a Business

Personal Injury Inside a Place of Business Can Qualify for Legal Funding Loan

A potential personal injury lawsuit is a risk that every business has to take that brings in customers into their premises. Even when businesses avoid lawsuits for many years, one lawsuit is enough to bankrupt the business, especially smaller ones. This high price is due to insurance and other costs apart from just the lawyer fees.

Every customer has the right to feel safe when stepping into a store or business and the business is required to provide a safe environment. If the business fails to meet the requirements, and a customer is injured, the customer can sue the business for the resulting injuries.

Personal injuries by customers have to be proven through three main factors:

Duty of care owed by the business to it’s customers
Breach of duty of care
Injury was caused by this breach

Proving Duty of Care

Businesses that have customers come into their premises should have the duty of care to make sure their premises is safe. This does not mean that the business can be held responsible for every injury that took place in their premises. Courts understand that is not possible to avoid all injuries.

But, there are reasonable “standards” for businesses to follow. These requirements are based on the context of each lawsuit, and can vary based on each state. But here are few standards that are common between most lawsuits:

Regular inspections take place on the premises for dangerous objects or situations.
The premise is clean to avoid slip and falls.
Warnings are placed around dangerous areas, such as wet floors.
Immediate repairs to any defective equipment or floor areas, including outside pavements on entrances.

Again, this is not an exhaustive list, but examples of safety standards that most businesses will be responsible for.

Proving Breach of Duty

If the business has failed to address these various standards, then the business has “breached” its duty and can be held responsible for the resulted injuries. For instance, if there is a slip and fall case against a local food store, the store could have breached the standard in many ways. The store might have failed to inspect its premise at a regular basis. Or, the store could have neglected to put up a warning sign for customers to avoid that specific area. Moreover, there might have been an employee who had noticed the spill but did not do anything to clean it up, which would come under negligence.

Proving Harm was caused by the Breach

A customer’s harm can be considered many different things:

Pain and suffering caused by the injury itself
Medical bills
Temporary or permanent unemployment

But all of these have to be proven in court to have been a result of the breach in duty. Let us take the instance of the slip and fall. While there might have been a spill near the location where the injury took place, but the customer had actually tripper over his or her own shoe, the business cannot be held responsible, even if they had breached their duty. The harm must be a direct result of the breach.

If you find your business to be sued for a personal injury claim, Interstate Lawsuit Funding can help with a pre-cash settlement loan until the case is settled. If you are facing a slip and fall, accident or personal injury claim, the loan is available at no risk to you.

Once you complete a 30-second application on our website, Interstate Lawsuit Funding can provide you up to $5,000 within 48 hours based solely on the merits of your case. We will not require credit checks or proof of income.

The loan check is for you to keep since we will be paid back from the settlement amount. If you are unable to win you case, then we will not require you to pay off the loan, we guarantee the loan will not affect your personal valuables or credit history.

Broken Bone Injury

If an individual is injured due to someone else’s actions, certain circumstances have to be taken into account before a legal claim can be filed. Broken bones are one of the most common forms of personal injury. These injuries can be minor fractures or life altering. How can you identify such injuries?

How to identify broken bones?

Broken bones can occur from being struck by someone or another object, and even slip and falls. Some broken are obvious, such as compound fractures, where the bone is protruding from the skin; simple fractures, however, are sometime hard to detect, as they are not as obvious. This does not mean that simple fractures cannot be very serious injuries.

Fractures can often be mistake for mild sprains. For instance, a hairline fracture on you ankle could feel like a sprain. However, a sprain often usually has a lot of swelling and is more painful than a broken bone. If there is mild swelling and slight, but persistent pain in the injured area, it is most likely a broken bone.

How to care for broken bones?

No matter how the broken bone took place, there are few steps that have to be taken to make the bone heals properly. If the fracture is serious and the individual is in a lot of pain, then medical attention is needed as soon as possible. Most doctors would require an x-ray and a few other tests to determine the severity of the injury. Once the severity is identified, the injured area is put in a cast so the bone can properly set in place and heal at it’s own pace. Minor injuries can heal in a few weeks while severe injuries could take months to heal properly.

Consulting an attorney for the injury

If the injury is result of someone’s negligence or purposeful actions, an attorney could be sought to make a personal injury claim. This has to be done as soon as possible since the law is put in place a certain time period in which the claim has to be made, or the other individual will not be held responsible for the injury.

The attorney will analyze you case to make sure it is a proper claim and will advise on how to move forward. The first consultation for all personal injuries is free so it is best to approach an attorney and seek some assistance.

Broken Bones Lawsuit Claim Can Qualify for Legal Funding Loan

If you find yourself in such a situation, you would be eligible for a pre-cash settlement until your case is settled.

Any individual who is currently in a lawsuit that deals with premises or product liability, any kind of accident or personal injury, or slip-and-fall, you would qualify for a pre-settlement cash advance from Interstate Lawsuit Funding. The advance is a no-risk, no-credit check lawsuit loan with no proof of income necessary, designed to help individuals during the lawsuit.

In April of 2014, the first of 24 pending cases will begin in a New Jersey courtroom. Approximately 120 more cases are set for federal court in the city of Philadelphia. The claims accuse McNeil-PPC Inc. of concealing the health risks associated with taking Tylenol.

The Philadelphia Inquirer stated, “Tylenol-related deaths rose more than 25 percent from 2005-2010.” Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said in 1977, warning about potential liver damage should be “obligatory,” it wasn’t until 2001 that the FDA actually began to take action. While experts agreed in 2003 that the warning labels had improved, it still didn’t suffice as an adequate warning to protect those who took the drug. Marcus Trunk, a 23-year-old Upper Dublin, Pennsylvania man, die in April of 1995 from taking Tylenol. Now, his mother Kate Trunk has been an important voice in pressuring the FDA to require better health warning labels.

Have You been Hurt On the Job?

If you’ve been injured at work and you have a case, we can send you cash in advance of your settlement. Click here to fill out our simple 30-Second Application. Never a credit check.

While Worker’s Comp has different rules about eligibility, various rules and multiple ways to claim, but the laws are similar in every state. Every employee has a right to medical care if injured during work. Workers’ compensation should pay for all medical bills, home care, and equipment. The individual should also be compensated for the time he or she lost due to the injury or illness. If the individual passed away due to the injury or illness, the family should be eligible to receive the benefits on his or her behalf.

Almost all workers are covered by Worker’s Comp, even undocumented workers. Each workplace has general guidelines for those that are covered. While certain jobs are exempt from the coverage, such as federal workers and independent contractors, the best way to check your status would be to check with the Workers’ Comp agency.

Work Injury Lawsuit Claim Can Qualify for Legal Funding Loan

If you have been injured at work and you already have a lawyer, you’re a candidate for lawsuit funding. that means we can send you cash before your case settles. We have a very simple 30-Second Application and there’s no credit check, no fees and no obligation.

When am I covered by Workers’ Comp?

You are covered under Workers’ Compensation if you are in the premises under your employer’s control. This includes any work or premises of work you are doing for your employer. However, commuting does not come under coverage.

Work related illnesses and injuries are covered by Workers’ Comp. The injuries can be a one-time occurrence, such as a fall or the breaking of bones, or can occur over-time, such as muscle strain or carpel tunnel syndrome. Illnesses caused by toxic chemicals or poisonous gases are also covered.

Pre-existing conditions that get worse due to work, such as asthma, can also be covered by Workers’ Comp. As long as it can be proven that work was responsible for the worsening of the condition, the worker can be compensated, even if it is the individual’s carelessness or fault. However, if the employer can argue that the individual was inebriated or hurt him-/herself on purpose, the injury is not eligible. Drug use might be an issue when reporting an injury but does not always mean ineligibility of compensation.

Always check with a lawyer to see if the injury is covered, even if the employer denies it.

When should I go for a lawyer?

Workers’ Comp claims is one of the few times that a lawyer is worth to have. Local unions or Central Labor Council can make recommendations for injured individuals. Workers’ Comp lawyers only take cases they think they can win since they receive a percentage of the compensation awarded. There are no fees upfront.
