Construction Vehicle and Crane Accidents
Heavy Equipment Accidents in San Diego and Southern California
When heavy construction equipment fails or tips over or operators lose control, the result is all too often a fatality or catastrophic injury. What many construction employees (or surviving family members) don't realize is that they may have a claim for damages above and beyond workers' compensation.
Laureti and Associates has held manufacturers, construction companies and other entities accountable for these tragic and preventable accidents. From accidents involving bulldozers and cranes to Bobcats and forklifts, we have helped clients secure personal injury and wrongful death compensation.

Our law firm represents victims of construction site and heavy equipment accidents in the San Diego area and throughout San Diego County, Imperial County and Riverside County.
Heavy Equipment Injury or Death
Attorney Anthony Laureti has 20 years of experience in personal injury litigation. He has the resources to bring in accident reconstruction specialists and works closely with an accomplished product liability trial lawyer. This enables Laureti and Associates to handle claims involving:
- Grader, scraper and bulldozer accidents
- Excavator and backhoe accidents
- Boom truck, derrick and crane accidents
- Skid loader and front loader accidents
- Scissor lift and forklift accidents
- Dump truck, cement mixer and construction truck accidents
- Falls from personnel lifts or bucket trucks
We have seen every type of heavy equipment and construction zone mishap: cranes and backhoes that tipped over, material dropped from cranes, workers run over or crushed, snapped cable injuries, contact with overhead power lines, falls from cherry pickers, and construction vehicle collisions.
Construction vehicle accidents don't always occur on-site. We have won personal injury damages for construction employees injured on-duty while traveling between job sites. We have also represented "civilians" struck by falling debris while driving behind construction trucks, including catastrophic injuries when a tractor rolled off a flatbed trailer onto our client's family car.
Committed to Your Long-Term Interests
Workers' comp disability or death benefits may not cover the long-term needs of victims and their families. Mr. Laureti explores all possible third-party lawsuits against heavy equipment manufacturers or the general contractor, subcontractor, utility company or property owner for full replacement of projected earnings, future medical expenses and significant pain and suffering.
