Unscrupulous Contractor in Tennessee

Dement Construction Company, LLC is a highway, street, and bridge construction company based in Jackson, Tennessee. They have a history of 72 OSHA Violations and 4 Fatal Accidents.

 

In 2014, their employee was doing exterior carpentry work on a bridge while inside the basket of an aerial lift. As the boom of the aerial lift was extended, he became caught between the bottom of the T-beam and the aerial lift’s control panel. He was fatally crushed.

 

In another senseless tragedy, a Dement employee was working as a flagman, standing on a pad near a crane that was operating at a bridge deck replacement project over a river. Two cranes were lowering a concrete beam when the load shifted and toppled one of the cranes. One end of the beam fell into the river. The other end fell on the river bank and the pad he was standing on. He was thrown into the beam and killed.

 

In another fatal incident, a Dement employee died when he fell 22 feet off a bridge. He was on a steel beam being removed from the bridge. He then stepped off the beam onto a 6-foot steel diaphragm that had been cut on both ends.

 

Previously, another Dement employee was on foot when he was was backed over and killed by a road grinder.

 

Additionally, Dement has also been the defendant in two recent court cases. One is a personal injury and wrongful death case, the other is for breach of contract and fraud.

 

Despite all these failings, Dement Construction Company, LLC is still in business, including several large government projects with the Tennessee Department of Transportation.
