Crane Operations & Construction Litigation Consulting
Experienced crane operations expertise for attorneys, insurers, contractors, and claims professionals throughout New York. Independent analysis of crane accidents, lifting operations, rigging, jobsite responsibilities, equipment issues, and the operational decisions that lead to an incident.
TIMELY. OBJECTIVE. CREDIBLE.
Crane accidents often involve multiple parties, including contractors, subcontractors, employers, employees, crane operators, riggers, signal persons, maintenance personnel, safety crews, and supervisors. Through operational analysis, we help attorneys examine how each party's actions, decisions, communications, and responsibilities contributed to the operation. Whether retained by plaintiff or defense counsel, our role is to help determine what happened, identify where failures occurred, and evaluate which parties, if any, bear responsibility.
