Crane Collapse

Construction sites can be hazardous places to work or even be near. A serious construction accident can put workers and bystanders in danger. A construction accident can be especially devastating when it involves heavy machinery like cranes.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a crane accident while on the job, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits to cover your accident-related costs. Contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation lawyers of Levinson Axelrod, P.A. today at 800-346-5529 to discuss your case.

Crane Accident Factors

Because of their heavy weight and long reach, cranes must be secured and operated safely in order to minimize the risk of an accident. Some of the factors that could increase the chance of a crane collapse include:

  • Failure to properly bolt down the crane
  • Lack of support to the crane mast
  • Crane operator error
  • Rigging contractor error
  • Overextended boons

Regardless of who is responsible for a crane collapse, you may be eligible for workers’ compensation benefits if you have been injured in a crane accident while on the job.
