Crane & Heavy Equipment

We represent clients in lawsuits arising from an accident involving a crane, bulldozer, boom truck, bobcat, earth mover, forklift, fork truck, backhoe, dump truck, excavator, or other construction equipment.

Employees and construction workers cannot sue their insured employer for injuries sustained in a work injury. Instead, the employee is entitled to seek benefits from a workers’ compensation claim. However, if a worker is injured on a construction site as a result of someone other than a co-employee’s negligence he may have a claim against that third-party.

Construction equipment accidents often result from operator error or machinery malfunction.  As soon as we are notified, we work to secure the evidence of the accident, ensuring a proper record can be developed for negotiations and potential trial. We investigate training procedures, analyze operating manuals, and review maintenance records. We have the crane or heavy equipment examined by experts to determine if a design defect, manufacturing defect, or other product defect contributed to or caused the accident. We aggressively pursue product liability claims or other personal injury claims to hold negligent parties accountable for the construction site accidents.
