Crane Accident Attorneys

When determining who is liable for your injury case, your attorney will help you properly work out who or what could have been the cause and why it was not prevented. In the case of injuries caused by a big machine, like the crane, a few possible scenarios as to who is liable for your injuries come into consideration. 

Negligence

The negligent operation of a crane can cause harm to the operator and those below, especially in high traffic density locations with pedestrians who can be severely injured. When it comes to claiming negligence liability, you may be able to claim that certain individuals, who at the time of your injury were recklessly operating the crane or not following protocols during work, can be held liable for any damages you've sustained. 

Defective Product

Another cause for injury could fall under the negligent installation or creation of the crane by the manufacturer or distributors. Defective products are those that fail to work according to the consumers' expectations. When a construction crew or other professionals initially install the crane, it must be done correctly. If done without proper care, instructions, or with faulty parts, serious injury can result—leaving the manufacturer or the distributor responsible for allowing a defective product on the market.

Yes!

You could be entitled to compensation for your injuries if you have been harmed due to manufacturer error or negligence. However, you also might ask yourself how much your injury case is worth. In order to properly calculate the value of your injury case, your attorney will need to break it down depending on a few key factors. These factors include but are not limited to the circumstances and severity of your injury, and the limits on your insurance coverage, among other things. Once enough information is obtained, your attorney and legal team can better estimate how much you could be eligible to receive. Most commonly, injury victims can receive compensation for the following:

• Lost wages;
• Medical expenses;
• Past & future medical bills;
• Reduced quality of life;
• Pain and suffering.
