Don’t Let Corporate Negligence Crush Your Financial Future



Construction site accidents are quite common and will often cause serious injury or death. While waiting for a fair settlement or verdict, if there is no life insurance, savings, or other funding sources, victims could take advantage of a service referred to as lawsuit funding to help pay immediate bills and expenses.

A 300-foot cell phone tower collapsed and minutes later a smaller tower fell, killing two contractors and a firefighter. The contractors were tethered to the larger tower when it collapsed in Clarksburg, W. Virginia in February 2014. One of the contractors was more than 60 feet up on the tower and the other about 20 feet up when the structure toppled. The firefighter was killed when the smaller tower collapsed as he walked from his vehicle to the scene. Two other contractors working on the larger tower were treated with serious injuries. The workers were doing maintenance to strengthen the tower’s support when the accident occurred. OSHA cited SBA Communications, owner of the towers, for safety violations.

Wrongful death lawsuits have been filed on behalf of the estates of the two deceased workers and personal injury lawsuits were filed on behalf of the two injured workers. The lawsuits name SBA Communications Corp. and three subsidiaries as defendants. Also named as defendants: FDH Velocitel of Northbrook, Illinois and three subsidiaries. All of the lawsuits contend faulty methods were used to shore up the main tower as efforts were made to alter it so it could host additional antennas and produce more revenue. The lawsuits seek compensatory and punitive damages and demand trials by jury.

Tragedies like this often have a financial impact especially when the family's principal means of support is gone. The primary objective in strategic lawsuit financing is to remove financial pressure to settle early and cheap and to assure that victims receive the compensation they deserve. Lawsuit Financial will evaluate the prospects for case success and potential case value and fund an amount that comfortably fits within that value.

Lawsuit funding is based solely on the merits of the case; credit rating or job status does not matter. The application process is simple and if approved, the lawsuit cash advance can be available within 24 - 48 hours. After a plaintiff’s application has been approved, lawsuit funding dollars are sent quickly and expeditiously either by wire or by check. When the plaintiff receives that money, they immediately pay off their medical bills, funeral expenses, or any other costs associated with the accident and/or deal with their usual regular financial obligations. Because it is a non-recourse cash advance, if the plaintiff loses the case, repayment is completely excused.

If you are in a pending personal injury or wrongful death lawsuit and need financial assistance, lawsuit funding might be a good fit for you. Contact Lawsuit Financial; the call is free; the advice is priceless.
