Use Cases
Scaffold Fall Injury Lawsuit Funding
• 2 min read
Falls from scaffolding produce some of the most severe construction injuries. New York's Labor Law §240 makes them particularly fundable.
Falls from scaffolds, ladders, and elevated work platforms produce catastrophic injuries — fractures, TBI, spinal cord damage, and death. These cases often have strong liability under OSHA standards and, in New York, Labor Law §240.
AARC funds scaffold fall cases with no credit check, no monthly payments, and same-day decisions in most cases.
Underwriting focuses on liability documentation (OSHA violations, missing fall protection, training failures), injury severity, and available coverage.
New York Labor Law §240 cases — the 'scaffold law' — provide near-strict liability against owners and general contractors when fall protection fails. These cases support substantial advances.
Funding amounts depend on injury severity and venue. Catastrophic injury cases routinely support five- and six-figure advances.

Frequently asked questions
- What can I spend the advance on?
- There are no restrictions. Claimants commonly use funds for rent, groceries, utilities, transportation, childcare, and medical co-pays while their case is pending.
- Is a pre-settlement cash advance a loan?
- No. It is non-recourse funding tied to your personal injury claim. There are no monthly payments, and if your case does not recover, you owe nothing.
- Do I need good credit or a job to qualify?
- No. AARC does not run a credit check and does not require employment or income verification. Approval is based on the strength of your claim and your attorney's representation.
- How fast can I get funded?
- Most approved applicants receive funds in as little as 24 hours once AARC has the case documents from your attorney.
- How much does it cost?
- AARC uses a flat fee rather than compounding monthly interest. Typical advances are $500, $750, or $1,000, and the illustrative payoff at settlement is 2x the advance amount.
