These massive machines create serious risks on both small residential projects and large commercial construction sites. Our construction accident lawyers at Culpepper Kurland will stand up for injured workers and help them pursue the compensation they need for recovery.

Common Types Of Crane Accidents

Construction sites use various types of cranes that can lead to different accident scenarios. Some examples include:

  • Mobile cranes: Tip-overs and structural collapses during operation
  • Tower cranes: Failures during heavy lifting and assembly procedures
  • Overhead systems: Malfunctions leading to dropped loads
  • Power lines: Contact incidents causing electrical injuries
  • Assembly issues: Accidents during setup and dismantling phases

Understanding what caused your accident helps determine who may be responsible for your injuries.

Causes Behind Crane Accidents

Many preventable factors contribute to accidents on Tampa construction sites. Look out for:

  • Operator error: Lack of proper training or certification
  • Equipment failure: Poor maintenance and mechanical problems
  • Communication issues: Breakdowns between ground crews and operators
  • Site conditions: Unstable ground and severe weather impacts
  • Safety violations: Ignored protocols and OSHA regulation breaches

These accidents often result in severe injuries that require extensive medical care.

Your Legal Rights After A Mishap

Beyond basic workers’ compensation benefits, you may have claims against multiple parties. You could go after:

  • Equipment providers: Manufacturers and maintenance companies responsible for crane safety
  • Construction teams: Other contractors, operators and site managers on the project
  • Property owners: Those responsible for site conditions and safety protocols

If you have your sights set on justice, you need someone to guide you along the way.
