Funding for New York Labor Law 240 and 241 Cases
Non-recourse funding for New York Labor Law 240 and 241(6) cases. Green Street Funding helps injured workers cover bills while their attorney fights.
New York gives construction workers unusually strong protections. Labor Law 240, often called the Scaffold Law, places absolute liability on owners and contractors for many elevation-related injuries, such as falls from heights or being struck by falling objects that were not properly secured.
Labor Law 241(6) requires owners and contractors to follow specific safety rules in the Industrial Code, and Section 200 covers the general duty to keep a safe workplace. Defendants still fight hard over damages and how the accident happened, which can mean a long road to settlement.
How pre-settlement funding helps
While your attorney pushes the case forward, Green Street Funding can provide non-recourse pre-settlement funding to help cover living expenses. We are based in New York and know these cases. You repay only from a recovery. If the case is lost, you owe nothing. All funding is subject to underwriting approval.

New York Labor Law 240 and 241 Cases: common questions
What does absolute liability mean under Labor Law 240?
In general, if a covered worker is hurt because proper safety devices were not provided for an elevation-related risk, the owner and contractor can be held responsible even if the worker made a mistake. Your attorney can explain how it applies to your facts.
Can immigrant workers bring Labor Law claims?
Immigration status generally does not stop a worker from bringing a Labor Law claim in New York. Talk to your attorney about your situation.
How soon can I get funding on a Labor Law case?
It depends on how quickly we receive documents from your attorney. Once we have what we need, decisions are often made quickly, and funds are typically sent soon after approval.
