A truck-mounted boom tipped and hit a building in, but the construction workers all escaped construction site injury.
NEW YORK, NY, September 02, 2011
A truck-mounted boom tipped and hit a Brooklyn brownstone, but as New York construction accident lawyer David Perecman is happy to note, the construction workers all escaped injury.According to the New York Daily News, the non-injury construction accident in New York occurred while a construction crew was adding a third-story extension on the Cobble Hill building. The weight of the sheetrock and plywood was apparently too much and the boom collapsed, leaving the truck on a 45-degree angle.
No one was injured in the New York construction accident.
The construction company brought in a crane, and firefighters set up a sling on the boom to turn the truck upright.
New York construction accident lawyers understand that construction equipment and machinery is often to blame for construction accident injury and death. Boom accidents, forklift accidents, scissor lift accidents, hydraulic jack accidents, crane accidents, front-end loader accidents and other machine and equipment construction accidents cause many injuries each year in New York and elsewhere.
"If the causes of a construction equipment accident are avoidable, meaning that someone's negligence was the cause of the construction accident injury or death, a victim of the construction accident, or his or her family, can obtain financial compensation for the construction accident injuries or construction site death in New York," construction accident lawyer Perecman, founder of The Perecman Firm, one of New York's construction accident law firms, said.
Perecman and his team of New York construction accident lawyers at The Perecman Firm have recovered millions of dollars for clients injured in construction accidents. Construction workers who have been injured in a construction accident in New York should contact a New York construction accident lawyer to make sure they are getting maximum compensation for construction accident pain, lost wages, and suffering.
