Two Injured in Orange County Car Accident
An Orange County car accident the morning of January 26, 2010 left two people injured, according to a news report in The Orange County Register. The injury car collision apparently occurred after a driver lost control and slammed into other vehicles waiting on an off-ramp of the 55 Freeway in Orange.
California Highway Patrol officials said the driver of a Honda Civic lost control of the vehicle and suddenly drove across the on-ramp and the divider before crashing into several vehicles including a Chevy Silverado, a Ford Ranger, a Mercedes Benz C240 as well as a Honda Odyssey van, which were waiting on the off-ramp for the light at Chapman Avenue. Both the drivers of the Civic and the Mercedes sustained injuries in this Orange car accident.
Clearly, this car accident could have been a lot worse. I'm relieved that there were no fatal injuries here. I hope the two injured victims did not sustain catastrophic or major injuries. I hope they recover quickly and completely and will keep them in my prayers.
Car Accident Statistics
According to California Highway Patrol's 2007 Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS), there were 10 fatalities and 814 injuries involving car accidents in Orange. Countywide, 178 deaths and 14,185 injuries were reported as a result of car accidents during the same year.
Car Accident Causes and Liability Issues
It's not very clear from this news report as to what caused the driver of the Honda Civic to lose control of the vehicle and collide with the other cars. Apparently, some people who witnessed the incident, told authorities that the driver may have suffered a medical condition. Officials have not confirmed whether the driver suffered a seizure at the time. However, in such cases, it is also important to look into whether the driver was at fault. Was the driver intoxicated, distracted, reckless or otherwise negligent? Was there an auto product defect or malfunction in the vehicle that caused the driver to lose control?

THE FAST FUNDS’ METHOD OF PRE-SETTLEMENT FUNDING FOR CLIENTS
Why don’t attorneys like pre-settlement funding? This is because companies that charge compounded interest and so-called processing fees have given the non-recourse funding industry a bad name. Often times, the interest has increased the client’s debt to the funding company to a point that makes it impossible for the attorney to accept a reasonable settlement offer. And what happens next? The attorney, who has a good settlement in hand, now has to go to trial. Sometimes, when a client does take money from another company and then comes to us for additional funds, we are unable to purchase the lien from the other company and include that in our funding contract, thereby eliminating the accrual of interest.
Let’s face it, if pre-settlement funding is to be a valuable tool for a Plaintiff’s attorney, the program has to make financial sense to both attorney and client.
The Fast Funds’ method of funding takes all of this into consideration. In effect, we place ourselves in the same shoes as the Plaintiff’s attorney. We simply purchase a very small portion of the anticipated proceeds. The percentage of the anticipated recovery depends upon the amount advanced to the client, liability and damages. This way, our profits, like the attorney’s fees, depend entirely upon the amount of the gross recovery. We never charge interest, no matter how long it takes for a case to resolve. And, unlike others in the industry, we have no upfront fees or charges. If the anticipated gross value of the case warrants it, we will sometimes make additional advances to the client. We will also provide a monthly stipend to the client in some cases. However, we always keep in mind that our total profits should not make it impossible for you to settle. If we refuse to make a second advance, it’s only because we think the client is selling too much of the case.
In many instances, we are called upon to advance funds when the case could possibly be settled within several weeks or months. We will then make an offer to reduce our profits if paid within a certain time. Also, in some cases, where it is difficult to evaluate a claim, we will cap our profits in case our evaluation is too low.
We work very rapidly. In most cases, a client can have funds within 24 hours from the time we receive documents from the attorney.
The president of Fast Funds, Harold Braxton, practiced law for almost 34 years before retiring and going into this business. He is very well aware of the ethical responsibilities of attorneys and makes sure that these are not violated in any manner.
Fast Funds is currently the funding company of choice for over two hundred and fifty law firms and attorneys around the United States. The reason is simple. Once an attorney experiences working with us, they continue to refer all financially troubled, seriously injured clients because we have the best funding program in the United States.
The bottom line is that you won’t find a fairer funding program for your clients.
