Boulder, CO based Graphic.ly has put some of its venture capital to work and rolled up 10-year old comics community iFanboy . Graphic.ly is developing an as-yet unlaunched comic and graphic novel reading application for Windows, Adobe AIR and mobile phones. The company has raised just over $1 million in backing. According to Joseph Tartakoff at PaidContent , the company already has clients, including Disney’s Marvel. The iFanboy site is a place for comics fans to find reviews, audio and video shows. It publishes under a Creative Commons license and sees just over forty thousand visitors per month, according to Quantcast. Some portion of those visitors are paid subscribers. Sponsor The iFanboy community appears to be embracing the merger enthusiastically in comments on the official announcement . That’s not something that can be taken for granted. The site’s journalistic objectivity comes under scrutiny now that one vendor owns iFanboy, something the site founders discuss explicitly in their announcement. Graphic.ly CEO Micah Baldwin describes the deal in lots of detail on his personal blog and says the two companies were introduced by Joe Stump, co-founder of hot pre-launched geolocation API provider SimpleGeo . Graphic.ly came from Boulder’s TechStars incubator and raised its money from a diverse group including but not limited to Houston’s DFJ Mercury, Starz Media, Northstar Equity Partners, Dave McClure, Chris Sacca and Paige Craig. Comics and graphic novel fans eagerly await the launch of Graphic.ly. We eagerly await seeing this tech-savvy startup in an eye-catching niche publishing market make its next move. Discuss
Today’s society has the misconception that America is bogged down with needless and frivolous lawsuits by undeserving people. But responsible personal injury lawyers don’t file such lawsuits. Rather, they strive to help innocent victims who were harmed by others’ negligence, as in the case of a car wreck, auto accident or other traffic collision.
When such victims face mounting medical costs, lost wages and pain and suffering as a result of another driver’s mistakes, those losses must be met – and not by the innocent victim. Rather, those who are responsible – or their insurers – must be held accountable in the legal arena. And that means victims may need to engage an experienced personal injury lawyer or attorney.
Such sufferers often face financial hardships through no fault of their own, and just filing a claim with a reckless driver’s insurer rarely is enough to save the day. Indeed, insurance companies often delay, deny or underpay on claims, leaving innocent victims to suffer still more.
This suffering can stop when car accident victims engage a personal injury lawyer or auto accident attorney who can fight for their full and fair economic recovery for losses. An innocent car accident victim has the legal right to pursue such financial compensation, but this quest often must come with the help of a car accident lawyer or personal injury attorney.
Forcing this issue with the help of such an attorney may mean filing a car accident lawsuit. But it doesn’t necessarily mean facing a judge, a jury and a courtroom. The fact is, almost all car accident lawsuits – around 90 per cent – are “settled” out of court. That means a victim’s personal injury lawyer manages to gain fair and equitable monetary recovery via negotiation, rather than litigation, thus sparing all parties the expense of a trial.
Yet even in the rare event of a trial, victims usually pay little or nothing until or unless their personal injury lawyer prevails in court. Most personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis, meaning they take no fees but rather are paid a percent of the recovery if their client prevails. In short, the personal injury attorney isn’t paid until or unless his or her client wins a settlement or a court judgment.
With this in mind, car accident victims can seek compensation in the legal realm without worries over mounting legal bills or a lengthy trial. A personal injury lawyer can do his or her best to ensure the results are favorable in terms of the legal costs, the financial settlement and the time involved.
