After an Accident in a Taxi Cab, Lawsuit Loan Saves Woman from Financial Ruin

With a lawsuit loan, Nicolette was able to receive cash today against the future cash settlement of her lawsuit to keep financially float while waiting for a settlement of her lawsuit. After being seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident that was not her fault, Nicolette discovered a lawsuit loan from Beacon Legal Finance could change her life.

On a clear and dry day in September, Nicolette decided to go shopping with her daughter and boyfriend at a North Carolina warehouse store. Not owning a car of their own, they called a taxi cab for the trip. En route to the store, the cab driver rear-ended the car in front of him and changed Nicolette’s life forever. At the moment of impact, the cab driver was traveling 35 MPH, so the cab driver was not able to stop in time as he approached the stopped traffic. After rear-ending another vehicle, the cab skidded 15 feet before coming to a hault. He received a ticket from the local police for this violation.

According to Nicolette, the cab driver was speeding because he was trying to meet his wife for a medical appointment after he delivered Nicolette to her destination. They never got to the store, and Nicolette now suffers from neck and back pain with damage to her spinal connective tissues. Her boyfriend and daughter were also injured in this accident.

This twenty-year-old woman wore a seatbelt in the cab, but her head hit the seat in front of her. She was taken to the emergency room, but no x-rays were taken at that time. She returned the next day complaining of back and elbow pain, and her elbow was x-rayed. They also gave her a CT scan for the headaches she was experiencing. Six days later she visited a doctor that diagnosed her spinal tissue injuries, and she began physical therapy. Nicolette continues to experience severe pain, and there is a concern that she may have degenerative changes to her connective spine tissue, which will make her more vulnerable to future trauma. Prior to this incident, Nicolette had only been at her job as a receptionist for just two weeks. Nicolette lost that job due to time missed because of her injuries and is now unable to work due to her intense pain.

After the accident, Nicolette hired an attorney and filed a lawsuit against the cab driver and the taxi cab company. Although Nicolette expects to receive a settlement from the lawsuit, it takes time for a lawsuit to work its way through the court system. With her bills increasing daily, Nicolette searched for a solution to her financial problems. Nicolette discovered that she could receive cash today if she agreed to give up a portion of the future cash settlement of her lawsuit. The pricing of the pre settlement funding was expensive, but it seemed fair when Nicolette learned that she did not have to pay back the pre settlement funding if her case lost or did not settle for enough cash to pay it back in full.

Nicolette checked out the different lawsuit loan companies and found one that seemed to be different. Their people treated her with professionalism and respect despite her financial troubles. The rates were competitive and the response time was fast. That company was Beacon Legal Finance, a leader in providing lawsuit funding to plaintiffs with high quality lawsuits. Beacon Legal Finance provided Nicolette with financial help from lawsuit funding when she needed it most.
