One of the most unique aspects to our construction litigation practice is a sub-specialty in the defense of crane accident claims.

Serving as national coordinating counsel for a major insurance carrier that underwrites a sizeable consortium of crane and rigging companies, we have earned the reputation as skilled litigators in this specialized field. With the ability to mobilize a team of specially trained attorneys and experts to an accident site within 24 hours of a catastrophic event, our lawyers are on the cutting edge of crane accident litigation. 

Our attorneys are frequently called upon to conduct emergency on-scene crane accident investigations on behalf of consortium members and other suppliers, providing a tactical advantage in ensuing litigation. These same attorneys subsequently coordinate ongoing crane accident investigations and the hiring of appropriate expert witnesses knowledgeable in the areas of crane and rigging safety, OSHA, MSHA, ANSI, NTSB regulations, and other industry-related guidelines. Several of our lawyers have also gained valuable insight by attending educational programs through the Crane Institute of America relating to crane and rigging equipment, safety practices and maintenance protocols. Thus, our attorneys possess a strong and unique advantage over opposing counsel in crane accident matters.

Clients also benefit from our litigators’ collective experience in a variety of other practice areas such as construction site injuries, construction defects, products liability and premises liability.
