Causes of Crane Accidents
According to OSHA, cranes are involved in more accidents than any other piece of construction site equipment. Crane accidents can happen for a number of reasons, including:
- Failure to properly set up the crane
- Using the wrong crane for the job
- Failure to use the crane in accordance with manufacturer specifications
- Defective crane components
In handling a crane accident lawsuit, our attorneys investigate all aspects of the case to find the facts and to identify liable parties. If your accident was the result of third-party negligence, you may be able to obtain monetary benefits beyond what you receive from Florida workers' compensation. We will help you explore all of the options available to you.
