Latest Settled Case
PrimeCare Medical, a North County prison health coordinator, recently settled 36 lawsuits due to prison conditions. Reports indicate that 36 inmates contracted methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
MRSA is a bacteria infection that is most commonly caught during hospital stays. MRSA symptoms include chills, chest pain, cough, fatigue, fever, Muscle aches, rashes and shortness of breath. The lawsuit was more than three years old as they were filed in 2007. The suits were filed by a Philadelphia law firm out of Philadelphia.
The defense argued that there was no evidence to prove that the conditions within the prison caused the outbreak of MRSA. The plaintiffs argued that the conditions within the prison were unacceptable. The suit provided allegations that the conditions of the prison directly caused the outbreak. Among the allegations within the complaint included overcrowded conditions, leaking roofs, dirty drinking water, infestation of cochroaches, sewage backup and moldy bathrooms.
The terms of the settlement were not released.

Product Recalls & Lawsuit Funding
If you have been recently injured due to a product recall and have legal representation from an attorney, you may qualify for lawsuit funding with LawLeaf. At LawLeaf, we provide clients throughout the United States with lawsuit cash advances against product liability and defective product claims. Many of these plaintiffs were injured due to a faulty product.
There are thousands of class action lawsuits that are filed each year throughout the United States. Class action lawsuits are generally against those companies that have developed an unsafe product without sufficient testing released the product for sale. These types of lawsuits are oftentimes against multi-million & billion dollar companies that have deep pockets and large defense teams. This means they have the resources to hold up a lawsuit in hopes for much smaller payouts and in some cases no payouts at all. As a plaintiff you could be waiting for years for a settlement and worst case scenario having the lawsuit go into litigation and make it to court.
If you are currently going through a class action lawsuit or have hired an attorney to singly take on a product liability claim due to a product recall, you may not have the financial staying power to continue the litigation process. Much like class action lawsuits, these companies can hold up a claim for years before closure. For some people that are financially incapable of waiting months or even years for a settlement, may be forced into taking much less.
At LawLeaf we understand that some people can’t financially sustain without an income coming into the household. For some people who have loss wages or have lost the ability to work, may not have the financial capacity to pay ongoing bills for medical expenses or worse yet their mortgage or rent. If you are currently searching for an alternative to a premature settlement, contact LawLeaf today regarding a lawsuit loan against your case.
LawLeaf is currently providing both pre settlement funding and post settlement funding for product recall lawsuits.
Coffeemakers Recalled
LawLeaf receives applications on a daily basis from clients that are seeking lawsuit funding for faulty products. These products are oftentimes untested and should not be in the market. If you currently are in the middle of a lawsuit or have recently reached a settlement or verdict, contact LawLeaf today to see if you qualify for a lawsuit cash advance. LawLeaf is a provider of non recourse lawsuit loans of clients located throughout the United States.
