Don’t “Rollover” When Your Finances Can’t Withstand Your Lawsuit

A U.S. Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) inspection has found that a Milwaukee leather manufacturer failed have proper safety measures in place February 1, 2015 when a 1,500-poind steel roller crushed and killed a maintenance worker. The man was inspecting the machine’s bearing when the tragedy occurred. He suffered fatal head and neck injuries as a result. It has been determined that proper safety guards would have stopped the roller from moving during service and maintenance. OSHA cited the company for 19 serious safety violations.

According to Christine Zortman, OSHA's area director in Milwaukee, “manufacturer-installed guards and industry-standard locking devices protect workers from operating machinery. Yet, each year thousands of workers are injured or killed because employers ignore machine hazards and do not train workers on safety procedures."

In most cases, immediately after the death of a loved one, a lawsuit is the furthest thing from the minds of family members. While no lawsuit can bring the loved one back, it may be worth it for the family to consult an attorney who has experience in workplace accident cases. Once a lawsuit is filed in a situation like this, if there is no life insurance, savings, or other funding sources, the family may be an excellent candidate for lawsuit funding.

Lawsuit funding helps plaintiffs meet their immediate financial needs so they can wait for the compensation they deserve. Our lawsuit cash advances are not based on your credit or work history but rather on the strengths and merits of your lawsuit. After completing a funding application, Lawsuit Financial will evaluate the prospects for case success and potential case value. Once approved, we fund an amount that comfortably fits within that value, within 24 – 48 hours. Most importantly, our lawsuit cash advances are provided on a non-recourse basis.

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.
