RV Accident Lawsuit Loans

Getting a Loan for Your RV Accident Lawsuit

When an accident happens, victims need financial support to stay afloat. This is especially true if the mishap involves recreational vehicles, often called RVs. The damages and injuries stemming from such accidents are generally more extensive compared to regular car crashes.

Are you involved in an RV accident lawsuit and require immediate financial help? Uplift Legal Funding offers pre-settlement lawsuit loans that are fast, easy, and low-cost. Legal funding or a lawsuit loan provides funds while you’re waiting for your case settlement and it’s not required to repay if you lose the suit. Our main aim is to provide you with the needed financial breathing room to effectively proceed with your lawsuit, without feeling the pressure to settle for less than you deserve.

Legal Funding for RV Accident Lawsuit

If you’re injured as a result of an RV accident, consider hiring an attorney and filing a claim. The most important goal of the injured party, or plaintiff, is to prove negligence on the part of the other driver or manufacturer. You can recover medical expenses in addition to pain and suffering if the other driver directly caused the accident and your injury. If you believe the manufacturer is at fault, it is essential to prove negligence. The manufacturer should be held liable for any faulty or hazardous machinery. Thankfully, RVs are often heavily insured.

Motorhome accidents vs car accidents

Car accidents are far more frequent than motorhome accidents. There could be many reasons why this is true including fewer RVs than cars, and people drive RVs less frequently. However, when RV accidents do happen they tend to be fatal.

Safety Features

Motorhomes and cars both have safety features that are made to lessen the likelihood of injury or death when an accident does occur. One main problem that motorhome drivers have to worry about is the chance of tipping over.

Below is a comparison of car safety features and motorhome safety features:

Car safety features

• Automatic high beams – when in a dark area, your car’s high beams will automatically come on
• Automatic emergency braking – if a car has suddenly stopped in front of you your car will automatically brake
• Active head restraints – when an accident occurs, the headrest of the car absorbs most of the impact energy to lessen the injury of whiplash
• Blind spot warning – if something is in your blind spot, your car will automatically alert you
• Brake assistance – if there is a need for a sudden brake the car will assist
• Forward collision warning – if there seems to be an impending front collision the car will alert the driver
• Pedestrian detection – if a pedestrian is behind your car, it will automatically break

Each of these features along with the breaking car shell help lessen the likelihood of fatal injury in a car crash.

Motorhome safety features

The following is a list of advanced RV safety features, meaning they aren’t implemented on most RVs yet. If an RV owner wants the features they usually have to pay to have them installed:

• Carbon dioxide detector – a detector of the godless invisible gas that can become trapped in the motorhome
• High beam recognition – automatically turns off high beams when another car is approaching so there is more visibility
• Rear view camera – a camera that lets you see what’s behind you when backing up
• Blind Spot detection – a system that monitors whether or not a cat is in the RV blind spot
• Hill descent control – a system that helps the driver control their descent down a hill

Most of the features that are additional for motorhomes are required for cars. A standard motorhome does not come equipped with all of these features. They have to be purchased and installed onto the vehicle.

This is unlike cars, where the safety features are typically built into the cat when you buy it. If the owner of the motorhome cannot afford these extra safety features, an accident can be fatal.

Insurance

Typically because RVs are large, they have bigger insurance policies. This means they are more likely to have more than minimum coverage. RVs can cause a lot of damage and severe injuries if they are in an accident, so similarly to large trucks, they have insurance to handle it.

As stated earlier, when an RV is in an accident with a passenger vehicle, it can cause a lot of damages. Below we have listed a few of the common injuries from RV accidents:

Common RV Accident Injuries

Some of the accidents sustained by recreational vehicle accident victims include:

• Amputation
• Broken bones
• Spine and back injuries
• Disfigurement
• Brain damage
• Soft tissue injuries
• Paraplegia
• Quadriplegia

The extent of your damages, both economic and non-economic, determine how large of a car accident loan Uplift can provide. With serious injuries and a large enough insurance policy, we can fund $1,000,000+.

National statistics and common causes

Recreational vehicle accidents are not common. From 2014 to 2018 there have only been a total of 132 fatal RV crashes according to compiled data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System.

In the year 2018, there were 56 motorhome accident fatalities. There is insufficient data to state how many motorhomes tipped or rolled over.

Below we have listed some of the common causes for RV accidents.

Common Causes of RV Accidents

The causes of RV accidents are similar to those of regular car accidents. The size and magnitude of an RV just make an accident more severe. Below are some of the common causes.

• Speeding
• Brake failure
• Tire failure
• Drowsy driving
• Poor weather conditions
• Miscalculated turns
• Miscalculated brakes
• Blind spots

FAQs on recreational vehicle lawsuit loans

Below we have answered some commonly asked questions about RV accident lawsuit loans

Does my credit affect my RV cash advance?

Your personal credit never impacts the amount of legal funding you qualify for with Uplift. This is because our funding is given based on the quality of your case. The following is how we determine the quality of your case:

1. Liability – is it clear who is responsible?
2. Insurance – does the at-fault party have coverage? 
3. Damages – how much has accumulated in damages
4. Previous advances – how much in previous advances do you have if any?

We review each of the criteria above in order to determine if your case qualifies for funding.

How much do I qualify for in legal funding?

We offer as low as $500 and as high as $250,000 in lawsuit loans.

The amount of funding you qualify for depends on the quality of your case. Some cases have a higher case value and therefore qualify for more funding. However, we want to help our clients so we will offer as much as the client feels they need.

We always advise that our clients only take what they absolutely need. Legal funding is expensive, and we want you to keep the largest portion of your settlement as possible.
