Elder Abuse Lawsuit Loans Available
Elder Abuse Lawsuit Loans help plaintiffs involved in negligence lawsuits reach final resolution of their cases without having to accept low-ball settlement offers from insurers wishing to capitalize on financial strain.
Elder Abuse Lawsuits
Elderly citizens are sometimes seen as vulnerable in our communities as they become more dependent on others to survive. Unfortunately, hundreds are victims of neglect, abuse and even financial fraud when they are placed in nursing homes by their relatives.
Many examples of abuse go unnoticed by busy relatives. These include might include:
- failure to clean and bathe
- allowing bedsores
- malnutrition
- over medication or wrong medication
- falls
- and more . . .
Because caregivers are entrusted to provide care, they owe a duty to provide care in a responsible way. Any breach of this duty, which results in damages, allows a possible recovery through a negligence lawsuit. Throughout the US, courts routinely decide lawsuits where relatives find an elderly family member residing in a nursing home neglected or abused.
What to Do When You Notice Signs of Abuse
Victims’ families can make written notes of the signs of abuse. Taking photographs of bed sores, poor hygiene conditions, bruising from physical abuse or anything else is always a good idea.
If the neglect is minor then it is worth alerting the manager or owner of the facility. If no improvement takes place or the situation worsens, further action may be required.
If the abuse is physical such as bruising from beating, families should report the matter to the police immediately. If a case of neglect, fraud or sheer abandonment, families can file a nursing home complaint with the State Department of Health Services.
Elder Care Abuse Lawsuits
Ultimately, families may be entitled to file a lawsuit for negligence against the nursing home. If a death has taken place a wrongful death lawsuit may also be a possibility.
Most personal injury lawyers work on a contingency fee basis so no upfront legal fees are required as these will be paid out of the lawsuit’s settlement. Many offer free consultations so clients cannot lose by seeking advice. This is just a few considerations when choosing the right injury lawyer.
Many attorneys specialize in elder care law and/or nursing home neglect. The best attorneys will interview a client, investigate the claim, gather documentation, evaluate it, and decide if the potential award/settlement will yield enough of a fee to cover their costs, time and make a profit for the firm. Remember, attorneys are only paid if the cases are successful. Thus, a profitable case also compensates their clients adequately.
The Problem with Elder Abuse Lawsuits
Elder abuse lawsuits can be complex because there may be many people involved in caring for the abused. Multiple nurses, aides, doctors, facility managers, and nursing home facilities themselves all may share in responsibility. Coordinating a multitude of defendants cause lawsuit delays as the case matriculates through the legal system.
Elder abuse lawsuit plaintiffs may also find that legal system delays add to the problem. Depending on where the case is brought, crowded dockets and limited resources can contribute to delays.
Whatever the reason, elder abuse lawsuit plaintiffs often find the lawsuit takes longer than expected to reach settlement. During this time, many litigants are forced to take lower settlement offers because of limited financial resources.
Elder Abuse Lawsuit Loans as a Solution
Lawsuit funding exists to help litigants weather the financial storm while waiting for a lawsuit to resolve. Also known as settlement funding, legal funding contracts are financial transactions where the litigant sells a portion of the future proceeds of the case. The lawsuit “funder” advances money for the lawsuit immediately so it can be used for things such as rent payments, car payments, insurance premiums, groceries or any other expense. In fact, there are no restrictions whatsoever on its use.
Pre-settlement “loans” are not really loans in the traditional sense since repayment is dependent upon a successful recovery. That is, if the case is lost, the elder abuse lawsuit loan is not repaid. This presents the plaintiff with a no-risk solution to immediate cash flow concerns. Further, since lawsuit loans are not loans, the applicant’s credit and employment status is not important.
