Crane collapse lawsuit update: Judge denies request to change venue

Many of the crane accident cases were initially filed in Jefferson County, Texas, where Deep South crane company maintains one of its principal places of business.  Some of the cases were filed in Harris County, Texas.  All of these cases, including the Jefferson County cases, were transferred by an MDL order to a judge in Harris County to handle all of the pre-trial matters. 

Deep South asked the Harris County judge to permanently transfer all of the Jefferson County cases to Harris County.  The parties briefed this issue very heavily.  Today, the Harris County judge entered an order denying the crane company's request to transfer the cases.

This means the Jefferson County cases will go to trial in Jefferson County, not Harris County.

Many of the workers injured in this crane collapse are represented by Vujasinovic & Beckcom.
