Patty Kirby, COO and Head of Client Relations, commented on the recent incident, "The recent accident on the Metro-North train that was traveling to the New Haven Connecticut area was a true tragedy that will most likely end up with numerous wrongful death and personal injury lawsuits being filed. However, liability in these types of accidents can be difficult to prove, and unfortunately, injured parties or families of wrongful death suits could wait years until the cases are settled or adjudicated through the courts. Fortunately for plaintiffs who cannot wait until their settlement checks arrive, they have immediate access to our pre-settlement cash advance programs."
