Our TV partner Channel Two reports that the surviving victim of a crane accident during last week’s storm has filed a lawsuit against the companies that were involved.
Attorneys for Crosby Ware said their client suffered serious injuries when the crane collapsed on the cement truck and slammed his body. He survived, but not his 72-year-old coworker. Despite his miraculous survival, Ware’s attorneys say he has “traumatic injuries to his head, neck, and back.”
All these injuries, Ware’s attorneys add, could have been prevented if the companies had taken proper precautions, since “the entire region had ample time to prepare.” That’s because, his attorneys claim, Ware was “required” to come to work to deliver cement for an ongoing project despite the dangerous storm last Thursday.
