The McAleer Law firm secures another win in the fight to help those who have been injured and are suffering life-altering injuries caused by someone else’s neglect or carelessness.
Thanks to the dedication of the McAleer Law firm, Florida Handling Systems has settled for $4 million with the family of a man who was crushed by a five-ton crane after it fell. The crane had been deemed safe just a few short months before the incident by a designated company inspector. Charles McAleer is quoted as saying “Florida Handling’s a good company; they just made a mistake.”
The investigation revealed that Two State bought the crane, then hired Florida Handling to inspect and correct anything that was not up to regulatory standards. The inspector made five visits to the facility within a 24-hour period while inspecting the crane and replacing key elements. However, the inspector had missed a vital safety feature, the drop lugs. Drop lugs are designed to hold the crane on the beam, if it comes off its track.
The drop lugs were a safety feature regulation that was added after the original manufacture date of the crane. Therefore, the crane should have been retrofitted once the inspection revealed they were missing. And it was Florida Handling’s responsibility to know all regulations and to follow through when necessary.
McAleer, along with Pete Law and Christopher Newbern of Law & Moran helped represent the distraught family in this case. They believe this was a learning experience for Florida Handling. Fortunately, their insurance company acknowledged the mistake and paid the claim.
