Injured on the job? Workers' comp can help — but it's often not enough, and third-party liability claims can take years to settle. If you have an attorney working your case, we can advance cash today against your future settlement. No credit check. And if you don't win, you owe us nothing.
Funding for workplace injury & third-party cases
There's an important distinction most people don't know about. Workers' compensation is an administrative benefit system — you file with your employer's carrier, and you receive medical coverage and partial wage replacement. That's a separate track from a lawsuit, and pre-settlement funding generally isn't available on straight workers' comp benefits.
But many workplace injuries also involve a third party — someone who caused the injury but isn't your employer. A subcontractor. A property owner. A machinery manufacturer. A negligent driver. When that's the case, you can pursue a third-party liability lawsuit alongside your workers' comp claim. Those lawsuits are pre-settlement fundable.
These are the workplace injury scenarios where third-party liability lawsuits typically exist — and where pre-settlement funding can help bridge the gap while your case is pending.
Falls from scaffolding, struck-by-object incidents, injuries caused by subcontractors, or defective safety equipment. Construction accidents are the most common third-party workplace injury cases.
Forklift accidents, injuries from falling inventory, conveyor belt malfunctions, or unsafe equipment maintained by outside vendors.
Injuries caused by defective machinery, missing safety guards, or equipment maintained by a third-party contractor. These often become product liability or negligent maintenance claims.
If you were driving for work and got hit by another driver, you have both a workers' comp claim and a third-party auto case. Delivery drivers, truckers, and mobile workers all commonly qualify.
If you were sent to work at another company's location and were injured due to their negligence, you may have a premises liability claim against that property owner.
Exposure to asbestos, chemicals, industrial toxins, or other harmful substances at work — often with responsibility traceable to product manufacturers, not employers.
Workers' compensation replaces about two-thirds of your wages — sometimes less depending on your state. Meanwhile, all your fixed expenses stay the same: rent, mortgage, utilities, car payments, groceries. And workers' comp doesn't pay for the pain, the disruption, or the long-term impact of your injury.
Third-party liability lawsuits exist because sometimes the injury is somebody else's fault beyond just your employer — and those cases can recover the damages workers' comp doesn't cover. Pre-settlement funding gives you cash while your attorney fights for those damages.
The most important factor is whether there's a third-party claim beyond straight workers' comp. Once we've confirmed there is, our underwriting looks at the same core case-strength factors as any personal injury case.
Workers' comp third-party cases follow the same general process as any personal injury funding — with a bit more focus on confirming that the third-party case exists and is being actively worked.
