What Makes a Car Accident Lawsuit Eligible for Lawsuit Loans?

The defendant can be held liable when you are not or are partially at fault for your damages. They owe you compensation for your injuries and should be required to pay you a settlement. However, some car accident cases are difficult to prove. Car accident loans require you to have a strong case before you can receive funding. Here are some examples of car accident cases that can support your application.

Traffic Camera Footage: If your car accident was caught on a traffic camera, this might make a strong case for you. This is especially if the other was caught breaking a traffic law. It is possible that the other driver was speeding, not staying in their lane, passing red lights, and not yielding to stop signs. Your attorney can find this out for you by reviewing the footage to observe any visible traffic violations.
Poor Driving History: Your attorney may pull the defendant’s driving record, and if they have a history of impaired driving, this can work in your favour. If the other driver had repeat traffic violations and received a history of citations, this can show that they were reckless in your case as well.
Proof of Substance Abuse: If the defendant took a drug test that came out positive for drugs or alcohol, this could make a strong case. When the police officer observes that the other driver is exhibiting strange behavior, they will administer a test. If positive, they can also be penalized for aggressive driving, resulting in a higher settlement.
Case of Punitive Damages: When the other driver was grossly neglectful in their actions, such as speeding or road rage, you are more likely to win a lawsuit. Punitive damages are a way to punish the other party and increase the settlement amount for the plaintiff.
Witnesses Were Present : If there were any eyewitnesses present at the scene, they can testify on your behalf in court. This can strengthen the case and be used as additional evidence.
Proof of Distracted Driving: Your attorney can subpoena the defendant and discover whether they were texting or on their phone. This can prove that the other driver was responsible for your injuries.

Black Box Data: Most cars have a data storage box that collects data on the car’s performance. When reviewed, it is possible to see when the other driver braked and their speed before the crash. This can be used as proof that the other driver either was breaking laws, not paying attention, or that the car malfunctioned in some way.
