A Vancouver homeowner has filed a lawsuit claiming that a crane repeatedly left hanging over their home has caused considerable anxiety.
According to court documents, the homeowner, who wishes to remain anonymous, alleges that the crane was left in a precarious position multiple times over the course of several months. The crane was being used for construction on a nearby building.
The lawsuit states that the homeowner experienced “considerable anxiety, stress, and fear” due to the crane’s presence. They also claim that the crane posed a safety hazard to their property and family.
The homeowner’s lawyer, John Smith, stated that the crane was left hanging over the home for extended periods of time, sometimes overnight. This caused the homeowner to constantly worry about the potential for the crane to fall or cause damage.
The lawsuit also alleges that the construction company and crane operator were negligent in their duties to ensure the safety of the surrounding area. The homeowner is seeking damages for the emotional distress caused by the crane’s presence.
In response to the lawsuit, the construction company has stated that they followed all safety protocols and regulations while operating the crane. They also claim that the crane was never left in a dangerous position and that the homeowner’s fears were unfounded.
The case is set to go to trial in the coming months. The homeowner’s lawyer has stated that they are confident in their case and believe that the evidence will prove the construction company’s negligence.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of safety measures in construction projects and the potential impact on surrounding communities. The outcome of this lawsuit will likely have implications for future construction projects in the area.
