Cranes are a common component of many construction sites; they are used to unload freight, construct tall buildings and for a wide range of other purposes. These powerful machines can become deadly if not properly maintained or used in the correct manner. If you or someone close to you has been injured in a crane accident, it is important that you protect your legal rights.

Crane Accidents
Crane accidents can occur for a number of reasons. Some of the most common include:
- Overloading
- Outrigger failure
- Collar failure
- Failure of boom
- Failure of cable
- Contact with power lines
- Workers getting struck with a moving load
- Workers getting struck by counterweight
- Falls
If you were injured in a crane accident, it is important to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer. Even if you are receiving workers' compensation, you may be eligible for additional compensation if your injury was the result of a negligent third party (not your employer or a coworker).
Our lawyers will work with you personally to gain an understanding of your situation and to help you explore all of the options available to you.
