    Construction work can be dangerous. Modern safety protocols have tried to make construction areas safer. Unfortunately, the failure of defective construction equipment can occur when recommended safety measures are not followed. As the result of a design defect, manufacturing defect or a failure to warn, any piece of construction equipment can fail and cause serious injury or death to the operator or bystanders. Improper inspection or maintenance can create further dangerous conditions for construction equipment operators and bystanders.

    Some situations in which design and manufacturing defects, a failure to warn and negligent inspection and maintenance can cause injury or death include:

    • Defective crane accidents
    • Defective backhoe accidents
    • Defective cherry picker accidents
    • Defective earth moving equipment accidents
    • Defective power tool accidents
    • Defective saw and nail gun accidents
    • Defective jackhammer accidents
    • Defective table saw accidents
    • Defective punch press accidents
    • Defective forklift accidents
