Chicago Construction Equipment Accident Lawyers
Some of the largest, most powerful vehicles in the world work at construction sites. When construction equipment accidents occur, they can cause catastrophic injuries and fatalities.
During 2007, 176 people died in crane accidents in the U.S. About 82 people die each year on road construction sites from vehicle or equipment-related accidents.
At Lane & Lane, LLC, our attorneys represent clients who have been injured in all types of construction equipment accidents, including those involving:
- Compaction machinery
- Backhoes
- Bulldozers
- Boom trucks
- Cranes
- Dump trucks
- Excavators
- Earth movers
- Forklifts
- Front loaders
- Road construction accidents
- Rollover accidents
If you suffered a work machine injury, our attorneys will investigate to determine whether the equipment was being operated according to OSHA standards and whether proper safety precautions were being taken to protect workers and others near the vehicle.
For example, workers must wear high-visibility clothing when working around construction vehicles. Construction equipment operators need to be aware of possible pedestrian traffic. Everyone working near construction equipment must be trained in the hazards of working around mobile equipment.
