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 than those in regular car crashes.

Are you involved in an RV accident lawsuit and require nearly 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 you are not required to repay the loan if you lose the suit. Our main aim is to provide you with the financial breathing room you need to effectively proceed with your lawsuit without feeling pressured to settle for less than you deserve.

Legal Funding for an RV Accident Lawsuit

If you are injured in 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 the manufacturer. You can recover medical expenses, in addition to pain and suffering, if the other driver directly caused the accident and your injuries. 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 are many reasons why this is true, including that there are fewer RVs than cars and people drive RVs less frequently. However, when RV accidents do happen, they can often be fatal.

Safety Features

Motorhomes and cars both have safety features designed to lessen the likelihood of injury or death when an accident occurs. One major concern for motorhome drivers is the risk 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 turn on.
• Automatic emergency braking – If a car suddenly stops 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 whiplash injuries.
• Blind spot warning – If a vehicle is in your blind spot, your car will automatically alert you.
• Brake assistance – If there is a need to brake suddenly, the car will assist.
• Forward collision warning – If there is an impending frontal collision, the car will alert the driver.
• Pedestrian detection – If a pedestrian is behind your car, it will automatically brake.

Each of these features, along with the car’s crumple zones, helps 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 standard on most RVs yet. If an RV owner wants these features, they usually have to pay to have them installed:

• Carbon monoxide detector – A detector for the odorless, invisible gas that can become trapped in the motorhome.
• High beam recognition – Automatically turns off high beams when another car is approaching to improve visibility.
• Rearview 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 car is in the RV’s blind spot.
• Hill descent control – A system that helps the driver control their descent down a hill.

Most of the features that are optional for motorhomes are standard for cars. A standard motorhome does not come equipped with all of these features; they have to be purchased and installed on the vehicle.

This is unlike cars, where safety features are typically built into the car 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 larger insurance policies. This means they are more likely to carry more than minimum coverage. RVs can cause extensive damage and severe injuries if they are in an accident, so, similar 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 extensive damage. Below, we have listed a few common injuries from RV accidents:

Common RV Accident Injuries

Some of the injuries 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, determines how large of an RV 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 were only 132 fatal RV crashes, according to compiled data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System.

In 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 common causes of 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 simply 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 braking distance
• 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 based on the quality of your case. Here 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 to determine if your case qualifies for funding.

How much do I qualify for in legal funding?

We offer lawsuit loans ranging from $500 to $250,000.

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 possible portion of your settlement.
