In addition to a focus on industrial vehicles, we also represent heavy equipment manufacturers. Heavy and mobile equipment are indispensable to construction and industrial activities. Various types of equipment move materials, till land, lift beams, dig earth to pave the way for development and production and apply asphalt and concrete to roads and other structures.
Our trial lawyers are highly skilled and experienced with the standards and regulations governing construction and industrial equipment and the industries which they are used in. With the background and knowledge in this critical practice area, our attorneys are able to quickly move and fulfill your defense needs.
We have extensive experience in defending construction and industrial equipment manufacturers in product liability lawsuits all over the country. We understand both the mechanics and the limitations of this equipment. We know the mistakes that workers commonly make in operating construction and industrial equipment. We also know the manufacturers who make these products, because we have represented many of them. That is why construction and industrial equipment manufacturers rely on Bowman and Brooke for defending some of the toughest cases in the nastiest venues.
Throughout our existence, we have become known for defending anything on “wheels,” and industrial and construction equipment cases are no exception. In addition, we also represent manufacturers of other types of material handling equipment, which include plows, augurs and hay balers. Because forklift litigation is a complex subspecialty in heavy equipment litigation, few high quality expert witnesses are available to defendants. Our attorneys know the best expert witnesses, and use them regularly. With a team of extensively trained lawyers, many manufacturers of forklifts and heavy equipment rely on us.
Along with product knowledge, our lawyers know key design issues that are associated with forklift cases, and they know the agencies charged with promulgating and enforcing safety rules for forklifts. Our attorneys have been involved in the design stages of new equipment with manufacturers, and have worked with the key Lawyers Committee of the Industrial Truck Association, a trade association for manufacturers of material handling equipment.
