  • Crane is a common piece of construction site
    equipment and it makes easy to transport
    thousands of pounds worth of materials.
  • But the downside is that crane accidents can
    and do happen, so the equipment poses a risk for
    construction workers.

3
Causes of crane accidents
  • The main causes of most crane accidents include
  • Overturns
  • Collision with other equipment
  • Mechanical malfunctions
  • Hitting power lines
  • Mishaps during lifting

4
  • The main risk associated with a crane is
    that it can easily tip over. When a crane is
    set-up improperly, is carrying an overweight
    load, or is in operation on unstable ground, it
    can very easily topple over.
  • Using a crane during windy weather
    conditions can cause it to tip over as well.

5
Crane accident injuries
  • When a crane accident occurs, nearby workers
    are more likely to suffer injury as opposed to
    the crane operator.
  • Someone such as an ironworker, rigger,
    carpenter or even non-construction worker on the
    site is more likely to suffer injury during a
    crane accident.

6
  • Although most crane accidents do no result
    in death, serious injuries can occur. Crushed
    legs, broken bones, organ damage, burns and even
    permanent paralysis can occur following a crane
    accident.
  • The injured person may face a lifetime of
    rehabilitation and long-term care.

7
  • If you are hurt in a crane accident through
    no fault of your own, then you may have grounds
    for a personal injury lawsuit.
  • The New York construction accident lawyers
    at Marvin A. Cooper, P.C . can help with your
