Long Island Crane Accident Lawyer

Long Island crane accidents are among the more common construction site accidents and can occur from a number of factors. In addition to properly maintaining the cranes, it is important for workers to be properly trained and all safety regulations carefully followed. Common causes of crane accidents include:
  • Electrocution when there is contact with a live power line
  • Failure to prepare the site for crane operation
  • Poor training
  • Loads that are too heavy or improperly loaded
  • Falls from the crane
  • Poor ground conditions that cause the crane to overturn
  • Failure to accommodate for bad weather or other undesirable conditions

When crane accidents occur, the injuries are usually serious ranging from broken bones, back and neck injuries, head trauma and, in worst cases, death.

What to Do If You Were in a Crane Accident
If you or someone in your family was involved in a Long Island crane accident, it is important to get immediate medical attention. It is also essential that the accident causes are investigated as soon as possible to preserve evidence and while possible witnesses’ memories are fresh. A reputable construction accident lawyer will ensure that all avenues are investigated to determine who is at fault and will help document all medical and related expenses. Construction sites usually have a number of parties involved—contractors, sub-contractors, property owners—and you may be entitled to collect damages beyond worker’s compensation if another party is involved.

Our lawyers have been handling construction case accidents for more than 20 years. We have helped many satisfied clients collect high settlements and we will work to make sure you collect the maximum compensation you deserve. This may include medical bills, ongoing treatment costs, pain and suffering, lost wages and other expenses that result from the accident.
