No-Risk Funding for Pending Workers Compensation Insurance Settlement!
Most of workers involved in Workers Compensation claim or lawsuit do not realize they can get workers compensation funding or worker comp loans before their case settles. If you are a plaintiff, involved in a Workmans comp case or lawsuit and represented by an attorney, you may be eligible for an easy cash advance on your pending workers comp settlement.
This is also known as non- recourse Workers Compensation lawsuit loan, Workers Comp funding, Workmans Compensation loan or Workmans Comp funding.
What is Workers compensation or Workmans comp?
Workers compensation or Workmans comp is a state-mandated insurance program that provides compensation to employees who suffer job-related injuries and illnesses. This system was originally known as Workmans compensation. Today, most jurisdictions have adopted the term Workers compensation as a gender-neutral alternative.
Federal government administers a worker comp insurance program for federal and certain other types of employees. Each state has its own workers compensation insurance laws. The first workers comp insurance state law was passed in Maryland in 1902, and the first law covering federal workers was passed in 1906. By 1949, all states had enacted some kind of workers compensation insurance program.
In many states, if your employer did not carry workers comp insurance coverage, or your justified worker compensation claim is denied by the workers compensation insurance company, you may be able to file an insurance bad faith civil lawsuit against the insurance company. To file that you should hire an expert workers comp attorney.
When a person works for a living, a personal injury or disability can have a serious impact on his or her life, family, health, and finances. The road to recovery is sometimes long and expensive, and a worker might well lose his/her home, health and family waiting for relief.
You may have a strong Workers Compensation case or lawsuit and a great attorney representing your case, but the insurance companies can afford to wait. But you can not, you need money now. Without a workers compensation funding, you may have no choice except to settle your Workers Compensation claim or lawsuit for whatever you can get.
But with a workers compensation funding or loan, you also get the advantage of some deep financial pockets yourself. A solid worker compensation funding company is always backed by vast institutional funds. So you will not have to accept too little too early from the insurance company that provides your Workers Compensation (Workers Comp, Workmans Comp or Workmans Compensation) coverage.
Workers compensation funding companies will not fund a Workmans comp claim or lawsuit if the state statute concerning direction of payments requires the claim to be paid directly to the claimant and not first to the trust account of attorney? These states are: AR, AK, CA, DC, HI, KS, KY, MA, MD, MN, NC, NJ, NV, NY, OR, PA, TX, UT,VA, WA, WI. But they provide workers compensation claim funding in all other states.

chrysler, gm bankruptcy deals strip victims of legal recourse
Dozens of accident victims and their lawyers made their way to Washington, DC, and the halls of Capitol Hill last week, urging lawmakers and the Obama administration to protect their ability to pursue medical claims against Chrysler and General Motors.
In a May 31 ruling, U.S. Bankruptcy Court Judge Arthur Gonzalez overruled objections lodged by the Ad Hoc Committee of Consumer-Victims of Chrysler LLC and other consumer groups when he approved the sale of Chrysler to Italy’s Fiat, free and clear of outstanding legal claims against the U.S. car manufacturer. Gonzalez effectively ruled that only liabilities that promote Fiat’s commercial interests would be transferred.
The Consumer-Victims group sought a $300-million fund or retroactive insurance policy that would cover the millions of dollars that Chrysler pays in medical settlements to victims every year. Customers with claims currently pending against Chrysler and GM will no have no legal recourse if the ruling stands and the transfer proceeds. About 300 GM customers and 160 Chrysler customers have pending claims that will likely be wiped out in the transfer to Fiat.
The situation is especially angering to many of the victims in light of the government bailout, which used $60 billion of taxpayer money to float the auto manufacturers.
“Our tax dollars are now being used to take away our right for compensation,” Jeremy Warriner of Indianapolis told the Washington Times. Warriner lost both of his legs when his vehicle’s plastic brake fluid reservoir ruptured and caused a fire after an accident in 2005. He was scheduled to go into mediation with Chrysler in May.
Tom Kline, whose wife Susan died after an accident in her Jeep Grand Cherokee, told Philadelphia’s Inquirer that the victims and their families should be given priority, not cast aside.
“He knows Chrysler’s collapse has harmed millions of others, including workers, dealers, and investors. But he said most of those losses pale beside the severe injuries and deaths suffered by defect victims,” the Inquirer said.
Susan Kline was traveling on Interstate 287 in Morris County, N.J. when she was struck from behind by another vehicle. The vehicle’s ill-placed gas tank ruptured, turning what should have been a relatively minor accident into a fatal blaze that quickly consumed the Grand Cherokee as Kline tried unsuccessfully to escape. By the time rescuers opened the vehicle, almost nothing was left of Kline’s body.
The Inquirer cited Paul Sheridan, a former Chrysler product manager who was to testify in Kline’s case, as saying that federal auto safety standards “are not adequate for the real world, and the industry knows it.”
“With that vehicle, just backing up into a high curb can split the tank open,” Sheridan told the Inquirer. “It has a plastic, unshielded tank that was known to be defective the moment it left the factory,” he said.
“How many fires have there been? Sheridan cannot say, in part because automakers know how to work the system. He said they agreed to settle cases, but only if the details are kept private - and from other car owners,” the Inquirer reported.
Kline echoes the thoughts of other victims who suffered injuries or lost loved ones because of poorly designed and unsafe Chrysler and GM automobiles.

Boston Personal Injury Law Firm: Massachusetts Senate Approves Amendment Banning Texting and All Internet Use While Driving
Last Thursday, the Massachusetts Senate included and approved in its version of the state budget an amendment banning Internet use while driving—this includes text messaging, emailing, or surfing the Web while operating a motor vehicle. Bus drivers, train operators, trolley drivers, and the drivers of other public transit vehicles would be banned from holding a cell phone while driving and would only be allowed to carry the device for emergency purposes. Transit drivers that violate the ban would be fined $500. Drivers would have to pay an insurance surcharge, in addition to a $75 fine.
The amendment is intended to prevent Massachusetts motor vehicle accidents from occurring because motorists are texting while driving and comes one day after Rebecca Solomon, a Methuen teen driver, died in a single-car collision. Police are trying to determine whether the 18-year-old high school senior was texting while driving.
Earlier this month, the MBTA imposed an emergency cell phone ban on its vehicle operators following a multi-trolley crash occurred right after the trolley driver had been text messaging with his girlfriend. Nearly 50 people were injured in the Boston MBTA accident.
According to a study commissioned by Vlingo, a Cambridge, Massachusetts speech-recognition technology maker for cell phones, 1 in 4 US drivers say they text message while driving, with younger drivers more likely to engage in this form of distracted driving behavior than their older counterparts. Among those surveyed:
• Almost 60% of teen drivers say they text and drive.
• 49% of 20 – 29 year-olds send and receive texts while operating a motor vehicle.
• 13% of motorists over 50 text while driving.
• 83% of the 4,816 online survey participants think texting while driving should be banned.
Time and again, texting while driving is proving to be a dangerous habit that can cause serious motor vehicle injuries or deaths. Teenagers that text while driving are a high-risk group when it comes to getting involved in or causing a Boston motor vehicle crash. A new Nielsen study says the average teen sends almost 80-text messages daily. The habit, which even adults find hard to break, can prove fatal when an inexperience teen driver is texting while behind the steering wheel of a car.
