Crane Owner Gets Criminal Charges for Construction Worker Deaths
Posted on Mar 09, 2010
James Lomma, a construction crane owner, and Tibor Varganyi, a mechanic, are paying for the inadequate repair job on a giant rig, which fell apart and killed two construction workers on Manhattan's Upper East Side in May 2008. Both were charged with manslaughter.
It appears workers spotted a crack in the turntable in May 2007 and Lomma told Varganyi to arrange for a replacement. After getting the work done, they were aware there was still potential trouble and did not follow the required rules and safety guidelines to prevent this construction accident.
Loma, 64, and Varganyi, 63, face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. The slain workers' families, who are suing Lomma and others over the collapse, welcomed the criminal case. The victims families are eligible for workers compensation death benefits.
