Construction & Machinery Accidents

When the equipment and tools involved with construction projects work properly and when high safety standards are implemented and maintained, there is minimal danger of injury. But when machinery is poorly designed or when safety standards are ignored, the results can be catastrophic. Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow has spent decades representing people whose loved ones have been injured or have died at construction sites:

  • Collapsing scaffolding
  • Exploding pipes that injure workers or passers-by
  • Unprotected flooring that causes workers to fall
  • Fires caused by faulty, makeshift wiring
  • Earth movers that crush or bury workers
  • Work site hazards, such as debris, wires and pipes that create tripping hazards, resulting in injury
  • Unsecured materials and equipment that fall on workers or passers-by
  • Nip points in machines that cause crushing or amputation of limbs
  • Moving equipment (heavy trucks, for example) that cause injury or death

Whether the accident is caused by a defective product or inattention to safety, the attorneys at Meehan, Boyle, Black & Bogdanow can work for fair and just compensation. They will also help ensure that the root cause of the accident is addressed by the responsible parties so that they are held accountable for their actions. Trial lawyers at MBBB feel that accountability is one of the primary goals of successful litigation so that communities are made safer in the future.
