A bus accident on I-95 killed 15 people after it crashed just outside of the Bronx; the last fatality was a 70-year-old man that died at 7:15 a.m. at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx. The tragic bus accident is still being investigated by the National Transportation Safety Board and driver fatigue is possible.

According to reports, the bus driver, Ophadell Williams, told authorities he lost control of the vehicle after being hit by a tractor-trailer; however the story doesn’t connect. NTSB later spoke with the truck driver and another motorist, who both had conflicting stories from Williams’ story. The motorist told authorities that the bus driver was swerving all over the place.

While authorities were trying to figure out how the accident occurred they uncovered that Williams was a convicted felon and not quite sure why he was operating the tour bus in the first place.

The investigation is ongoing as investigators are still in the process of reviewing surveillance tapes.

Snowy Conditions Causing More Accidents

Hazardous weather conditions are a major cause of accidents throughout the United States. Due to recent snow storms on the East Coast, accidents are on the rise. Snowy road conditions along with negligent drivers can be a dangerous combination. The National Weather Service continues to predict furious snow conditions throughout the region causing slippery roads and minimized visibility.

State Police and other authorities are warning motorist to stay off the roads and highways and in many cases towns and cities are in a state of emergency. While some motorists can’t avoid driving in these snowy conditions it’s highly recommended you allow extra time to get to your final destination.

It is advised that if you have to travel in these conditions that you should operate your vehicle in a safe manner by slowing down, staying off of cell phones and allowing plenty of space between other cars on the road. While many motorists will use caution when driving in the snow others are negligent and as a result accidents happen.

If you have been involved in a car accident due to the negligence of another person, regardless of road conditions, you have the right to seek fair compensation for damages. During the winter months the insurance industry is in full swing. They are backed by some of the best defense attorneys ready to try to settle for pennies on the dollar. In some cases even if negligence is proven the insurance company will try to fight for less compensation and as a result will hold up the case from settling. This is a tactic that many companies will use in hopes the plaintiff will settle for less than the fair value of their case.

While not always the first option more plaintiffs are now using lawsuit funding as a way to pay their bills until their case settles or goes to court. A lawsuit cash advance is ideal for those plaintiffs that need immediate financial help and not willing to settle for less. If you have been recently involved in a motor vehicle accident caused by severe weather conditions and negligence of another driver, contact LawLeaf today for a free lawsuit cash advance consultation.

Top Auto Insurance Coverages

Auto insurance coverage is extremely important when filing a lawsuit. As with any lawsuit the ability to pay the claim will be the difference between full compensation, partial compensation or no compensation at all. When someone is injured in a car accident due to the negligence of another person they can file a claim against the insurer. The problem that some people may run into is being involved in a car accident with an uninsured driver, under insured driver or an auto insurance company unwilling to settle a claim fairly.

There are always instances when a driver is involved in an automobile accident with an uninsured motorist making it difficult to obtain fair compensation to pay for damages. Some insurance companies may carry high risk drivers and place them into insurance programs that otherwise would be unacceptable by other companies. There are states which only require drivers to have minimum coverage. Similar to uninsured motorist, those drivers carrying minimum coverage can also be a huge liability to victims of motor vehicle accidents. If you have been involved in a catastrophic accident the probability of getting full compensation from an uninsured or under insured driver is less likely compared to a fully insured driver.

Car insurance coverage can play a significant role in the amount of money you will receive from an accident.

Over the last few weeks LawLeaf has kept record of plaintiffs searching for car accident lawsuit cash advances. Many of our clients were seeking advances due to low settlement offers and the unlikelihood of a case to reaching settlement before going into litigation.

LawLeaf has also seen an increase in lawsuit cash advances for already settled claims.

Car accident lawsuit cash advances tend to provide applicants with lower rates due to liability. Because lawsuit cash advances are based upon the strength of a case and fault is generally easier to prove in a car accident, the rates are generally lower.
