How Lawsuit Funding Can Help Injured Construction Workers
todd bower - Tuesday, January 04, 2011
In the largest verdict in Marin County history, a construction worker injured in 2007 was awarded $11.7 million. The worker hit his head in unsafe work conditions and sustained injuries that will last a lifetime.
Lawsuit funding helps construction workers on cases like this due to the excessive medical bills the worker must pay to try to restore his health. In this case, spine surgery and extensive rehabilitation after near paralysis. The lawsuit loan provides the plaintiff cash up-front to help pay medical bills and replace lost income. The loan is actually a pre-settlement payment on the final award and is paid back only when the case is settled.
A case like this, which required over three years to reach a settlement, puts substantial financial pressure on the plaintiff to settle the case in order to get needed cash. The lawsuit funding removes that financial pressure and enables the plaintiff to continue to pursue a full and fair settlement.
P & T Financial provides pre-settlement litigation financing for construction injuries, along with many other types of personal injury cases.
