	The Legal Landscape When a Tower Collapses
		Generally speaking, owners and those responsible for maintaining and leasing towers have a legal duty to act reasonably to prevent and warn of those dangers which they know or should know and are not openly obvious to those working on or near towers for a particular business purpose.
		Further, it was asserted the tower owner had actual knowledge of the danger or condition resulting in the deaths and failed to warn of such danger.
		Tower contractors have three sets of concerns in the event of an accident, including: (1) contractual and liability claims from its customer, the owner; (2) liability claims of those who did not hire the contractor, including lessees and personal injury claims; and (3) governmental oversight from OSHA or other applicable institutions.
