Cell Phone Tower Accident Injury Lawyer: Wrongful Death and Cell Phone Tower Accidents

Cell phone tower accident wrongful deaths are a significant problem in the United States. Virtually every adult, and a considerable number of young people, rely on mobile devices of different types as their primary means of communication. The demand for cell service has been growing significantly with each passing year. Additionally, cell service technology has been advancing apace as well, including the advent of 5G, the next generation of wireless technology.

Consequently, cell phone towers are being erected as well as are in need of repair and maintenance at record levels. During this boom, more and more workers and even innocent passersby are killed in cell phone tower accidents each year.

The sad reality is that an alarming number of cell phone tower workers and ground crews are killed in horrific accidents every month. The most common causes of cell phone tower accidental deaths in the U.S.A. include:

• Catastrophic falls from towers, sometimes from heights above 500 feet
• Structural collapse of cell phone towers
• Faulty equipment
• Lack of proper training
• Inadequate protective or safety gear
• Falling debris
• Disfiguring Burns
• Electrocution

These types of accidents result in not only the deaths of workers but also of innocent members of the public who happen to live up to that old adage about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

As early as 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor classified the rise in cell tower deaths as “alarming.” The shocking fact is that the death rate generally has continued to rise over the course of the past six to seven years. The cell phone tower accident death rate appropriately can be said to have gone from alarming to virtually inconceivable today. A tenacious, experienced cell phone tower accident wrongful death lawyer can provide the latest information about the significant risks associated with working on this dangerous equipment as well as the hazards of merely being close to a cell phone tower.

Your Rights in a Cell Phone Tower Accident Wrongful Death Case

Wrongful death laws vary from state to state. With that said, there are some common features in cell phone tower accident wrongful death statutes from one jurisdiction to another in the United States.

First, wrongful death laws establish which family members are legal authorized to bring this type of claim or lawsuit after a loved one’s death. In most states, wrongful death laws permit close family members to pursue a claim after a cell phone tower accident:

• Spouse
• Parents
• Children

In some states, in the absence of a spouse, parent, or child, siblings are able to pursue a wrongful death lawsuit. There are also jurisdictions where the estate of the cell phone tower worker or other individual who was killed in an accident is vested with the legal ability to file a claim or pursue a lawsuit.

Second, individual states also establish specific deadlines by which a cell phone tower death wrongful death claim must be brought. The time frame differs from each state. As a result, a person who desires to pursue a lawsuit must be certain that he or she knows of the deadline for doing so. Missing the deadline can result in a person being precluded forever from recovering compensation for the death of a family member killed in a cell phone tower accident.
