Crane Accidents

Cranes are an essential piece of equipment on many construction sites, helping to construct large buildings and helping workers lift large loads to great heights. Just about every larger construction site in Miami and across South Florida includes at least one crane. While this type of equipment is necessary, however, it also causes serious injuries each year. There have been a number of widely reported instances across the country of cranes collapsing or tipping over, causing catastrophic injury. In addition, cranes can swing into workers work and drop heavy equipment or construction materials on workers below. In all these cases, fatalities are common, as are serious injuries such as head injuries, spinal cord injuries, amputations, and other serious injuries.

Victims who have been injured and workplace accidents such as crane accidents in Miami and across South Florida often suffer severe distress and injury. They may have a hard time returning to work or may face a lifetime of reduced income potential if there are unable to return to work in the construction industry and must take on less demanding tasks due to long-term injuries. While workers compensation is designed to help victims get money for their injuries, insurance in many cases does not cover the total, long-term cost of catastrophic incidents. In many cases, the aim of the insurers is to resolve cases quickly and with as little cost as possible.

Victims can sometimes find themselves having to return to work before they are able to or find themselves in severe financial distress because insurance does not cover the full cost of medical treatment, home care, lost income, and other expenses. Unfortunately, once a worker accepts workers compensation or other insurance they have a reduced or eliminated options for pursuing a legal claim that can get them a fair compensation amount. For all these reasons, it is important to consult with a personal injury attorney first.
