Construction site negligence leads to severe injuries and cash funding by Underwriter Rosie
I’m back again. It’s Rosanne…one of Cambridge Management Group’s (CMG) underwriting attorneys. HAPPY SPRING! We are finally getting to enjoy some warm weather here in NJ, but the economy is still weak. Plaintiffs across all 50 states seem to need some financial funding or support while they wait for cash settlements related to their personal injury, wrongful termination and/or medical malpractice lawsuits.
Times seem to be tough everywhere. CMG recently provided a cash funding to a plaintiff who was lucky enough to have a job, but was severely injured while working due to the negligence of a corporation. The corporation was overseeing the construction of a large building development project. There were multiple OSHA violations at the construction site. “On the job” supervisors had workers lifting a 2 ton generator without hoists. Hoists were contracted for and were supposed to arrive at the construction site. When hoists, pullies and safety straps didn’t arrive, supervisors told the workers to proceed anyway and the generator fell on plaintiff’s legs. Plaintiff is a 27 year old, honest, hard working person. He suffered bilateral crush injuries to his legs, which required surgery to replace tendons. Bilateral knee surgery (surgery on both knees) is also scheduled. This plaintiff came to CMG for money to support their family while they await settlement or collection from lawsuit judgment. This plaintiff is now on disability and can’t return to work to no fault of their own. Large, corporate defendants were pushing for work to get done quickly, but not safely and this young man horrible personal injuries and financial devastation as a result.
CMG Funded this client for nearly $10,000 and they are eligible for additional funding following receipt of the operative report from the knee surgery.
