Accident Lawsuit Funding Reports $48MM Verdict in 2008 Crane Collapse

FORT LEE, N.J., Sept. 14, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Accidentlawsuitfunding.com, a leading national lawsuit funding firm, reports today that a Manhattan jury awarded a $48 million verdict against James Lomma in the fatal 2008 crane collapse for the families of Donald Leo and Ramadan Kurtaj. The total damages are now over $96 million that Lomma has to pay. According to the NY Daily News, "the punitive damages will be split between the crane king and his firms, NY Crane & Equipment and James. F. Lomma Inc. Lomma will personally have to pay $29.2 million of the punitive penalties." Lawyers of the families of Donald Leo and Ramadan Kurtaj claimed that Lomma was at fault for the E. 91^st Street crane collapse due to the fact that he had a crucial piece of the crane repaired cheaply in China.

Construction accidents such as this one occur, and ALF is dedicated to helping victims involved in such incidents, as well as third party workers compensation claims. Construction accidents and incidents that happen on the job can be seriously damaging, and sometimes fatal.

Chris Janish, CEO of ALF, commented on the recent verdict, "This was a surprising verdict based on the sheer size of the award. However, it underscores the seriousness of personal injury and construction accidents while on the job. Unfortunately this case took seven years to be heard at trial and now it is sure to be appealed, which could take another two to three years." 

ALF, a law cash advance company, as well as their funding partners, are committed to assisting people who have suffered personal injury in any sort of construction accident, including bus accidents, car wrecks, limo accidents, truck wrecks, or any other motor vehicle accident, including mass transit cases. Additionally, plaintiffs who have won large verdict on appeal cases that are tied up through the appellate process can also access funds immediately by applying for a judgment or verdict on appeal settlement funding.
