Billboard Collapse Attorney Causing Crush Injury
Billboards are highly effective marketing tools, that are used to get the attention of motorists, pedestrians and passersby to buy a product or a local service in the community. The billboards can be erected and raised at heights of over 20 feet to even higher up in the air, to allow the most amount of people to see the signs and billboards when they pass buy that advertising location. There are really no “standard” size for a billboard, as they will be erected based on what a person has paid for the advertising space. Generally billboards though come in sizes similar to:
- Small at 6ft./10ft. x 12 ft./24 ft. = 72 to 240 square feet
- Medium at 12 ft. x 25 ft. = 300 square feet
- Large at 16 ft./20 ft. x 60/50 ft. = 960 to 1,000 square feet
The display arrangements of a billboard can be varied, to include single face, V-built, stacked or alternate configurations. Billboard companies sell the advertising space on their billboards to interested parties wishing to advertise their businesses to the community. Sometimes, the billboard site is then leased from a third party, who owns the land or structure such as a building, where the billboard is fixed to at the time of the leasing. The billboards are big enough to have a billboard structure, proper foundation, and space for a crew to provide the proper service and maintenance work on that billboard sign. If the company that actually puts up the billboard sign is negligent in any way to put up the billboard, then it will be a recipe for disaster. In that event, the billboards can often come crashing down from their perch, and can cause a serious and even life-threatening crushing injury for anyone standing under or near to the billboard at the time it detaches from the main structure.

Yes, a billboard is meant to be completely secured when it is installed, and it is not meant to come crashing down to injure people standing under it. Any time that a billboard is improperly installed or maintained, there will always be the opportunity for it to come down and crush people standing under it. Billboards are made of a variety of materials. They can be made of metal, wood or other structure, set into concrete or into the ground in gravel. There is usually a metal catwalk in the front which allows changing out the media message on the billboard, and this area needs to be maintained to prevent damage and rust to the area. The lights on a billboard are usually florescent or made of LED quality lighting. But if the lights are not properly attached, these structures can also come crashing down.
