Experienced Injury Lawyers to Evaluate Your Case
Our law firm represents construction workers injured in crane accidents. We also advocate for members of the general public injured while passing by a construction site with a working crane. There are several legal avenues that we can pursue, depending on the circumstances of your accident. Our attorneys evaluate each case to determine the approach most likely to result in maximum compensation. We build on our principal attorneys’ more than 25 years of legal experience and their zealous approach to these cases to seek a favorable outcome for each client, whether at trial or in pretrial negotiations.
The law permits construction workers injured in crane accidents to seek compensation from the general contractor and property owner. Engineers may have failed to supervise the rigging of the crane properly. The riggers themselves may have lacked sufficient training. A load may have fallen from the crane, hitting those below. The operator of the crane may have been distracted, ill, under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or showing other signs of crane operator negligence. The crane could tip over due to improper securing. The crane could crash into another building or work site. The crane could hit electrical wires. There are many types of crane accidents covered by scaffolding law, and our attorneys investigate each thoroughly when developing a case.
Types of Claims After a Crane Accident
Individuals injured in crane accidents are probably eligible for workers’ compensation benefits that are available to all workers injured on the job, regardless of fault. They may also be able to file third-party personal injury lawsuits against a subcontractor, supplier, or visitor to the site who can be shown to be responsible for the crane accident.
