"Third-Party" lawsuit funding may be possible in some
work-related injury situations. A "third-party" lawsuit is a
lawsuit for a
work-related injury, but it is against an entity other than your
employer or their
workers' compensation insurance company. For example,
it could be against the manufacturer of a
piece of equipment that had a design defect that contributed to your on
the job injury. Another example is a work site related accident that is
caused by a lapse in safety procedures, and the company responsible for
work site safety is not your employer. Yet another example is an
employee who is injured in a motor vehicle accident while on company
business, and the party causing the accident is not employed by your
employer. Unlike workers' compensation lawsuits against the
employer,
"third-party" lawsuit cases can be funded in any state in
which lawsuit funding is permitted. You should
discuss with your attorney if your work-related lawsuit also might
justify a "third-party" lawsuit.
The types of injuries that qualify for "third-party" lawsuit funding
include (but are not limited to) the following.
- herniated spinal disks
- bone fractures
- shoulder injuries (e.g. rotator cuff and torn muscles)
- knee injuries (e.g. torn meniscus, torn ligaments)
- burn injuries
- eye injuries
- head injuries
- an injury requiring surgery
- loss of body part (e.g. amputations)
- injuries resulting in death
- soft tissue injuries (the advances on soft tissue injuries
are usually
smaller if these are the most serious injuries in the case because the
overall case value is lower)
The documents we need to see
for a third-party lawsuit include the following.
- attorney/client
retainer agreement (optional)
- police report/incident
report
- complaint document (if
a lawsuit has been filed-most cases are settled via
negotiation before a lawsuit is filed with the court)
- medical records (e.g.
emergency room reports, X-ray reports, MRI
reports, CAT scan reports, surgical reports, doctors narative reports
describing status of injuries)
- proof of defendant's
insurance
