Legal Topics > Personal Injury and Health > Injury Accidents > Construction Accidents

Crane accidents of all types occur throughout the United States.  Since cranes are such large pieces of machinery, and they often hoist very heavy materials, crane accidents often result in death or serious bodily injury.

Causes of Crane Accidents

There are several causes of crane accidents, including the following: 

  • Improper maintenance
  • Mechanical failure
  • Crane assembly or disassembly
  • Inadequate worker and operator training
  • Dropped loads
  • Swinging loads

Preventing Crane Accidents

Some methods for helping reduce and prevent crane accidents include: 

  • Having a written maintenance schedule, which includes inspections of all cranes
  • Training all employees on crane safety
  • Ensuring cranes are adequate to lift loads
  • Ensuring loads are adequately rigged
  • Emphasizing the importance of planning, communication, and worker coordination

Do You Need a Lawyer?

If you believe you have a construction injury claim contact a personal injury attorney to learn about your legal rights and the complicated legal system.  Remember that there are deadlines set in the law, so waiting too long could result in you losing your ability to bring a claim or defend yourself.  If a complaint has been brought against you, contact a civil defense attorney to learn about your legal defenses and rights.
