When the equipment in your case is a crane, mobile elevating work platform (MEWP), aerial lift, forklift, or rigging hardware, you want an expert who actually sits<\/em> on the committees that wrote the safety standards. That is what Eckstine & Associates brings to every engagement — from initial site inspection through deposition and trial testimony.<\/p>\n We have supported litigation involving crane collapses, mobile elevating work platform (MEWP) incidents, forklift accidents, rigging failures, and equipment-design defects across the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”Process” _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#f7f7f5″ custom_padding=”50px||50px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Four phases.
