After An Accident:
(NAPS)--According to the Nation-
al Safety Council, in the United States r
there are about 10 million accidents of
all kinds each year: from parking lot
scrapes to muhicar pileups. Nearly 1.3
million people die in road crashes, and
an additional 20-50 million ate injured
or disabled.
An Inspiring Story
Dealing With The
Wheal most people hear the sounds
ofanauto accident--the'screecfi of tires, ~ere's a faster way to get the cash
buckling metal and breaking glass-- for living expenses and medical care
while you're waiting for insurance to
pay you after an accident.
Commuter Kate's Tips On
(NAPS)--Americans take about l 1
billion trips on public transportation
every year. qhe next time you're among
them, consider these 10 tips on proper
etiquette from blogger Commuter Kate.
1. Stow your stuff. Put your bag be-
tween your feet so everyone has a bit
more space. If the floor is wet or sticky,
wear your bag forward so you're at least
more aware of it.
2. Stand up for courtesy. If you're
sitting in a reserved seat and an elderly,
infirm or pregnant person gets on, get
up. Someday, you may need one of those
seats yourself.
3. Poles are for everyone. Don't hog
them. It's not nice and not safe.
4. Let 'em off. Let people get off the
bus or train before you get on. Stand
back from the door and patiently wait
for the exiting passengers to disem-
bark. It actually makes for a faster off/on
boarding process.
5. Public transit confusion? For just
about any city you're in or transit line
you're on, public transit directions are
only a smartphone app away. Moovit,
the app, boasts the widest coverage and
most accurate transit data in the world,
including 2,200 cities in 80 countries
and 44 languages. 'lhis means you can
ride transit confidently and, in some cit-
ies, even know where the best exits are.
"lhis way, you won't hold anyone up by
stopping to Inok at the map or scram-
bling to find the exit.
6. You're not at home. Don't eat, put
on makeup or trim your nails. Sit in one
seat with your feet on the floor. And
guys--awfid manspreading.
their thoughts first turn to the physical
damage to the automobiles, and next to
the bodily injuries sustained by those
involved. Little if any attention, though,
is eyer paid to the long-term mental an-
guish that victims of serious auto acci-
dents often endure; sometimes for years,
sometimes for life.
For the victims, the incident itself is
more often than not a mere blur. Some-
times, they have absolutely no recollec-
tion of the crash. It is not uncommon to
hear people injured in an accident say
that "the first thing I remember is being
put in an ambulance. I then remember
the pain, followed by an all-consuming
sense of 'what now?"
For Mary M a single mother of four
living in Rochester, N.Y a head-on auto
crash caused by a driver who last year
ran a stop sign was the beginning of
an ordeal she could not have imagined
the day before the incident. The impact
was so great that Mary sustained both
shoulder and back injuries. "The air bag
went offand the next things I remember
clearly were the ambulance attendant
pulling me out of the seat of my car, be-
ing put on a stretcher, and being taken
to the hospital;' Mary said.
As is the case with so many accident
victims who suffer non-life-threatening
injuries, Mary could not afford the luxu-
ry of spending more time in the hospital

'What Now?'
the playing field for consumers whose
meritorious claims are being delayed.
According to Harvey Hirschfield, pres-
ident of LawCash, "We empower con-
sumers. With cash on hand to pay for
life needs and general living expenses,
managing cash flow, and securing med-
ical care while awaiting settlement of
their insurance case, victims are in a
stronger position and don't have to sim-
ply accept a lowball amount a compa-
ny's insurer initially offers:'
How It Works
LawCash does not promote or en-
courage litigation. All its clients must be
represented by legal counsel and must
have filed a legitimate claim before it
will accept an application. Nor does it
influence the case, as all decisions re-
lated to the legal approach and overall
strategy are between the victim and
his or her lawyer. Perhaps most impor-
tantly, the presettlement funding is not
a loan. If the case is lost, the claimants
owe nothing. In addition, they're not
required to put up collateral or make im
terim payments, and the advance has no
effect on their credit.
"I hired my attorney because he
struck me as a good lawyer and a kind
and honest human being;' said Mary.
"I never expected that in addition to
handling the legal aspects of my case,
he would also guide me through some
of the greatest and most tumultuous of
life challenges that resulted from the ac-
cident. The simple act of putting me in
touch with LawCash removed the finan-
cial pressures that might have forced me
into settling for a lower, less fair insur-
ance payout. I'm forever grateful:' Mary
said.

7. Entrances, exits and escalators.
If you need a card or ticket for the turn-
stile, have it out and ready to insert or
swipe. On escalators, if people walk up
one side, don't stand two abreast.
8. Nothing beats a good night's
sleep. But if you missed it and fall asleep
on transit, avoid falling onto the person
next to you.
9. Look up from your phone once
in a while. You shouldn't need to keep
staring at the map the whole trip. Moo-
vit lets you know when your stop is
coming up so you can get lost in a good
book, rather than lost on your journey.
10. Speaking of the phone, don't
talk on it. Enough said.

than absolutely necessary. "l had to get
back to work:' Mary said. "Two of my four
boys were at home and I had to get back to
my job at a local hair salon. I needed the
money. I needed to pay my bills:'
Once back at work, Mary found that
the strain her job put on her shoulder
and her back was more than she had an-
ticipated. A woman who prides herself
on being strong and independent, she
reluctantly succumbed to the pain that
eventually would require two surger-
ies, extensive physical therapy and time
away from work.
"I was in a panic:' said Mary. "I had
to take a great deal of time off from work
and the bills kept piling up. While my
Social Security check was enough to
pay my rent, I had living expenses for
me and for my boys that I had to cover.
I was desperate, alone and I was getting
depressed. I needed help" Having no
one else to turn to, Mary confided in her
attorney, who recommended that she
reach out to LawCash, a presettlement
funding company that, after reviewing
her insurance claim already in process,
agreed to advance her the cash she need-
ed to pay her bills.

ment funding business, helps to level
