Falling Object Accident Lawyer Video

Transcript

Falling object accidents happen every day. But you have to remember that generally speaking, it's not somebody dropping a hammer that hit someone, although that can happen. Where you really want to look at a falling object case is in the rigging itself. You will have devices that are put up by riggers, which is a job specialty in and of itself. And these things are supposed to hold weight in a certain way. If you load up a carabiner so that it carries weight from point A to B and then you put another stress on it, the metal will fail. That happened in the Ringling Brothers and Barnum Bailey Circus accident happened about 10 years ago. And a friend of mine handled that case. So you really want to look at the riggers, who's responsible for the hard points, where they go, and how things are made to prevent objects from falling. So if you are ever injured or know someone who is, tell them to call us. We'd like to help with that.
