Crane Accidents

Anyone who works around heavy machinery has some risk of being involved in an accident. While many workplaces and sites do their best to make work zones risk-free, human error and mechanical error can both occur suddenly and unexpectedly, putting workers in danger. Sometimes these accidents can severely injure a worker to the point that he or she is unable to recover from the injury.

If you have lost a loved one in a crane accident or other accident involving heavy machinery, consider consulting with a Pennsylvania wrongful death lawyer at Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. for legal assistance in this difficult time.

Crane Accidents and Liability

In any heavy machinery accident, there are a number of different parties that may be liable for the failure. Because cranes are human operated, the worker(s) running the crane may have made a mistake or may have been distracted to the point that he or she caused the accident. Alternatively, the crane may have been mechanically defective, and the malfunction may have caused the crane to fail. If the crane was placed improperly or appropriate safety measures were not taken, the construction company may be responsible for the accident.
