Recovering Damages for Crane and Derrick Accidents

In November 2010, a new standard was issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  The standard was written to help prevent construction related crane and derrick accidents, injuries, and fatalities.  Our New Jersey and New York construction accident attorneys know that the new standard took a long time to develop; we are hopeful that it will lead to fewer injuries and deaths.

However, our experience also teaches us that not all crane and derrick dangers can be prevented by a new standard.  Sometimes injuries and fatalities occur because of negligence or defective equipment that the new standard did not, or could not, prevent.

If you have been hurt or lost a loved one in a New York or New Jersey crane or derrick accident, you may be entitled to damages.  Damages may include compensation for medical expenses, lost income, out of pocket expenses, and pain and suffering.  Recovering damages can make a meaningful difference in your life and in the lives of your family after a construction accident has occurred.

We encourage you to contact an experienced New York and New Jersey injury attorney at 1-800-362-9329 or via our online contact form to discuss your case and your potential recovery.
