We’ve Recovered Millions of Dollars in Compensation for Construction Accident Victims
Construction sites are one of the most dangerous locations to work. Although contractors and developers are required to ensure that the job site is as safe as possible, accidents do happen. At Basch Keegan & Spada, we represent construction workers in the Hudson Valley who have suffered from various types of serious on-the-job injuries, including crush injuries.
As these types of accidents are known for causing severe bodily injury or even death, it is important to get the compensation you are owed. Our Kingston crush injury attorneys have over 100 years of combined experience. When you entrust your case to us, you can have peace of mind knowing that we have the knowledge and resources to help you achieve a fair settlement.
Common Causes of Crush Injuries
When many people think of a crushing injury, they think of falling objects. However, crushing injuries can be caused by several other circumstances.
The types of situations that can lead to crushing injuries include:
- Collapsed structures or trenches
- Falls from heights
- Faulty equipment braking systems
- Getting pinned between a moving object and a stationary item
- Forklift accidents
- Getting caught in machinery
- Unguarded moving parts
- Getting hit by swinging machinery or other items
Who’s at Fault for My Injuries?
The first thing that you need to understand after you have suffered a crush injury is that your injuries are likely due to the negligence of someone else. Our legal team is here to investigate your case to discover every potentially liable party.
Possible responsible parties for a crush injury on a construction site include:
- Contractors
- Managers
- Delivery drivers
- Subco

If your accident was caused by someone other than your employer, you might be entitled to pursue compensation for your damages beyond workers’ compensation benefits. We can help you identify all at-fault parties to maximize the compensation you receive.
