Railroad Accident Cases

Lawsuit Funding For Railroad Accidents

While the number of people who rely on the railroads as their main means of transportation has dropped over the past 30 years, statistic show that railroad/train accidents happen at alarming frequencies. In the United States it is estimated that every two hours there is a collision wherein a train strikes either a pedestrian or vehicle. Data from 2007 shows that over the year there were over 13,000 railroad accidents. Of these there were slightly more than 850 fatalities, and just over 8800 non-fatal injuries.

While the numbers for more recent years have not been published, the numbers for the years prior to 2007 indicate that this is a fairly constant trend. As a provider of all railroad and train accident lawsuit funding, Hopkins Lawsuit Funding, LLC wants all of those who have been injured in a railroad accident, and are seeking a lawsuit cash advance, to know that we are standing by to help.

Railroad accident lawsuit funding is a form of pre settlement cash advances that we provide to the injured parties and their families. These cash advances are made to help those injured parties cope financially while they await the settlement of their lawsuit against the railroads. Ideally when one is injured in an accident, the responsible parties insurance will cover the cost of medical treatment, as well as other expenses that the injured party must cover due to their involvement in the accident.

In reality, insurance coverage may not cover all of the medical treatment needed, or they may refuse to pay for other related expenses. When the injured party find themselves in this situation, they often file a lawsuit against the responsible parties, in this case the railroads, seeking financial compensation.

Again ideally, filing a lawsuit would result in a quick resolution of the issue. Reality is that all lawsuits, including railroad litigation can take several years before the lawsuit is ever heard in a court of law. This waiting period often is more than many plaintiffs can handle. They need relief from mounting expenses, now, not in a year or two. If you were to find yourself in this situation, we strongly suggest that you apply for a pre settlement lawsuit cash advance from Hopkins Lawsuit Funding, LLC.

After we have review the application, and obtained any relevant paperwork from your attorney, we can release the funds from the cash advance to you.

Now not all applications that are submitted to us are approved. We use the facts of your lawsuit to determine if your case will be approved. We don’t use your credit scores, nor do we care how much education you have obtained.

Our railroad accident lawsuits cash advances are made with the following understandings. First, your lawsuit cash advance is repayable upon the settlement of your pending lawsuit.

Railroad accidents can cause catastrophic injuries or even death to anyone unfortunate enough to be involved in a railroad accident. We urge all to be vigilant around any moving train. Trains are large; anything that large is difficult to get moving. They are even harder to stop, especially if one needs them to stop quickly.
 
Railroad accidents are not a new occurrence. The first recorded train accident occurred in 1831. A boiler on the train engine blow and injured two railroad employees. The first actual train wreck occurred two years later, in 1833. Here a train derailed after an axle broke. This train wreck resulted to two fatalities. An interesting side note to this train wreck, former President John Quincy Adams was a passenger on this train, he was not injured.
