Crane Accident Lawyers

Washington, D.C., Maryland, & Virginia

Cranes are a common feature of any metropolitan area. You see them wherever there is construction--they are a sign of change and progress. But they are also a sign of a potentially deadly accident waiting to happen. And when they do happen, injuries may be severe, and the loss of property and life catastrophic. Although we describe these events as accidents, in most cases, one or many people contributed to their occurrence through negligence or deliberate misconduct. If you were injured, lost property, or even suffered the wrongful death of a loved one, you deserve compensation from those responsible.

Who Is Responsible?

Construction sites are generally under the administration of a single entity, but this does not mean that everything at the site is controlled by that company. Contractors hire workers, subcontractors, and suppliers, who hire workers, subcontractors, and suppliers, and so on. When an accident occurs, it is usually not only the responsibility of one person, but many people, such as:

• A construction firm that worked with a contractor with a bad safety record
• A contractor who worked with a worker or subcontractor with a bad safety record
• A contractor who knowingly purchased or used defective supplies or equipment
• A supplier who provided substandard material
• A manufacturer who produced defective equipment
• A worker who acted recklessly or with negligence at the work site

It is generally impossible for people without experience dealing with construction accidents to sort out who is responsible or may legally be held responsible.
