What Is Construction Accident Lawsuit Loans?
A construction accident lawsuit loan is non-recourse funding for workers injured on job sites, falls from heights, scaffold and ladder failures, falling objects, equipment accidents. These are among the strongest cases for funding, and in New York they are arguably the strongest of all: Labor Law § 240(1), the Scaffold Law, imposes absolute, nondelegable liability on owners and general contractors for gravity-related injuries, and § 241(6) adds liability for specific safety-code violations. Critically, these claims run against the owner and GC, not your employer, so workers' compensation does not bar them, and the defendants carry serious commercial coverage.
Case cases often take 12 to 36 months to resolve. Throughout that period, injured plaintiffs face mounting medical bills, lost wages, and everyday living expenses, pressure insurance companies exploit with early lowball offers that fall far short of a claim's true value.
Pre-settlement funding breaks that cycle. When your bills are covered, your attorney can negotiate from patience rather than desperation, and plaintiffs who can wait for a fair settlement consistently recover more than those forced to accept early offers.

Construction Accident Lawsuit Loans: The Full Picture
New York's Scaffold Law, Plainly
Labor Law § 240(1) makes owners and general contractors strictly responsible when a worker is injured in a gravity-related accident, a fall from a ladder, scaffold, or elevated surface, or a falling object, where proper safety devices weren't provided. Comparative fault is largely off the table. For funding purposes, a documented 240(1) case is close to the best collateral in personal injury.
241(6), 200, and Site Negligence
Beyond gravity cases, § 241(6) reaches concrete Industrial Code violations, unguarded openings, debris, inadequate lighting, and § 200 codifies general site-safety duty. Outside New York, similar claims proceed through third-party negligence against non-employer parties: GCs, owners, subcontractors, and equipment makers.
Workers' Comp Doesn't Block These Claims
Comp covers you regardless of fault but pays fractions of real losses and nothing for pain and suffering. The fundable asset is the third-party lawsuit against owner, GC, or others, which proceeds alongside comp. Note that any comp lien gets addressed at settlement; tell us about it and we underwrite accordingly.
Union and Non-Union, Documented and Fast
Trade, immigration status, and union membership don't gate the claim. What drives funding is the accident report, witness accounts, photos of the site and device, and medical documentation. With those in your attorney's file, decisions come fast and advances run to the top of our range.

Yes. Funding attaches to your third-party lawsuit against the owner, GC, or other non-employer parties, which workers' comp does not bar. The comp carrier's lien is handled at settlement, and we factor it into underwriting.
Falls involving inadequate safety devices are the core of § 240(1), and liability on owners and GCs is absolute in qualifying cases. Your attorney confirms the elements; when they're present, these are premier funding cases.
You owe nothing. Funding is non-recourse, repaid only from recovery, with the standard fraud exception state funding laws require.
