Hurt in an Industrial or Construction Accident?
Our law firm attorneys represent injured workers in all types of industrial and construction accidents, including:
- Cell tower accidents
- Crane and hoisting accidents
- Elevator accidents
- Heavy equipment / machinery accidents
- Failure of assembly line equipment
Cranes at construction job site.
Crane accidents can collapse an entire construction site injuring or killing the crane operator, other construction workers, and even bystanders.
Working on cell towers is one of the most dangerous occupations. Tower climbers suffer injuries from electrical shock, equipment failure, structural collapse of the towers and falls from extreme heights. In fact, a cell worker is up to ten times more likely to die on the job than a construction worker.
Oftentimes on construction job sites, there can be many different companies and contractors coming and going, working on the same project, sharing a job site. This can increase the risk of accidents occurring and that a third party may be the one responsible for your work-related injury.
Case Results.
$220,000 Settlement against the manufacturer of a defective safety cover and valve mechanism of an irrigation system, which exploded and caused permanent injuries to the client’s eye and arm.

Maximizing Injured Workers Financial Recovery
The goal of our lawyers is simple: helping you and your family put your lives back together. That means our lawyers are focused on obtaining a full financial recovery for you, looking at all possible sources of compensation.
In many cases, workers can recover damages from negligent third parties. For instance, if you were hurt because the machinery used was defective, then you may be able to recover damages from the manufacturer. Unlike workman’s compensation, a third-party personal injury claim can include damages not just for current and future medical expenses and lost wages but also pain and suffering.
What do you mean by “Third Party” Claims?
In these types of cases, there are a number of entities potentially liable for the accident, ranging from a construction site owner to architects and engineering professionals, contractors and manufacturers of the machinery or equipment. These third party entities may share some of the liability for the accident.
These accidents can result from the negligence of others, faulty construction equipment; defective products; defective machines; inadequate safety or equipment training, as well as negligent or reckless co-workers.
The legal team & accident attorneys at Nash & Franciskato know how to investigate and pursue third-party claims.
