New York City Crane Accident Lawyer

Can you imagine hearing a snap and seeing a 170-foot crane collapsing above you? That’s what happened to Michael Simmermeyer and four other construction workers on April 4,, 2012. The other workers were lucky, only suffering from injuries like broken bones and shock, while Mr. Simmermeyer died after being struck by two dislodged pieces of the crane. The tragedy occurred here in Manhattan, while the men were working on a construction project to extend the 7-train to the city’s West Side.

The crane’s inspection was postponed last January, since the machine was in use at the time. The last inspection was done a full nine months before the fatal incident occurred. Not only had the crane operator been involved in two prior accidents where workers were injured, but the company had been fined on several occasions for safety citations.
