Truck Driver Dies After Being Trapped Under Five Tons Of Glass

Last month, a truck driver was unstrapping a delivery of glass on a loading deck at a glass supplier when the glass shifted, toppled, and trapped him five tons of shattered glass. It took emergency crews nearly 30 minutes to free the 48-year-old man. Paramedics performed CPR at the scene before a medical helicopter rushed him to the hospital in critical condition. He died two days later. An investigation is ongoing.

Tragedies like this one often have a financial impact especially if the family’s principal means of support is gone. If the family chooses to file a wrongful death lawsuit, lawsuit funding may be available to remove any financial pressures while awaiting a settlement or verdict.

Lawsuit funding is a quick and easy method to access fast cash that will help a plaintiff pay funeral and burial expenses, house and car payments, tuition, and daily living expenses. It is often the only means for a plaintiff to continue their case and get the settlement rightfully deserve. Obtaining a lawsuit cash advance is quick and easy. To be eligible, there must be attorney representation and a strong case with merit; credit score or job status does not matter. Once we receive a funding application, Lawsuit Financial will evaluate the prospects for case success and potential case value, and fund an amount that comfortably fits within that value. We can typically wire transfer funds within 24 – 48 hours of approval, allowing plaintiffs to pay their bills quickly. There are no monthly payments; we are repaid once the case successfully settles. If the plaintiff loses the case, repayment is completely excused. It is really that simple!

If you have lost a loved one during a workplace accident, it is important to speak with an experienced attorney to determine if you are entitled to compensation. Once the litigation process is underway, if you are suffering financial hardship, lawsuit funding might be a good fit for you.

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. This means if you do not win or settle your case, we are not repaid.
