Residents of Apartment Complex File Lawsuits After Deadly Explosion

Residents of a Silver Spring apartment complex that exploded in flames in August filed lawsuits against the apartment management company and the utility that supplied the complex with natural gas. Seven people died in the explosion and fire. Nearly two dozen others were injured and dozens of families were left without homes. The family of two of the deceased victims, as well as residents of the apartments, are named as plaintiffs in the litigation. In addition to seeking substantial damages, the lawsuits are also asking for safety reform.

According to the initial investigation, natural gas built up in a basement utility room at the apartment complex which led to a massive explosion, followed by a large and lengthy fire. It is still undetermined what caused the gas leak and whether it came out of equipment managed by the utility or by the apartment management company. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) said a full investigation could extend well into next year.

Determining liability in a gas explosion often requires extensive investigation. Depending upon where the fault lies, a number of parties could be held liable. Cases like this take time and incredible amounts of resources to reach a settlement. For many victims, waiting for fair compensation is not a viable option especially when faced with finding a new home and replacing everything lost, in addition to medical and funeral expenses. To help plaintiffs manage financially, lawsuit funding can be a viable solution.

Lawsuit funding is a cash advance against a potential jury verdict or settlement designed to help plaintiffs cover financial obligations while pursuing a settlement. It puts time in the hands of the plaintiff to await justice. All that is needed to qualify is attorney representation and a case with merit. There are no upfront fees, no monthly payments, and no credit checks.

Applying for a lawsuit cash advance requires one to complete an application. There are no upfront fees and no monthly payments. Credit and employment do not matter because we focus on the case and the case, alone. The transaction is risk-free to the plaintiff because funding is provided on a non-recourse basis and is completely contingent on the outcome of the lawsuit. If the lawsuit fails, the cash advance is completely excused.
