Understanding Liability in a Crane Accident

Determining who is responsible for a crane accident can be complex. Liability may fall on multiple parties, depending on the circumstances of the incident. Some of the most common liable parties include:

  • Construction companies that fail to enforce proper safety protocols.
  • Crane operators who are improperly trained or negligent.
  • Equipment manufacturers if defective crane parts caused the accident.
  • Property owners who fail to provide a safe work environment.
  • Contractors and subcontractors responsible for site management and crane operations.

An experienced Nashville crane accident lawyer can investigate your case, gather evidence, and identify the responsible parties to ensure you receive the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes of Crane Accidents

Crane accidents can happen for various reasons, many of which stem from negligence, improper operation, or mechanical failure. Some of the most common causes include:

  • Crane collapses due to overloading or structural defects.
  • Mechanical failures from poor maintenance or defective parts.
  • Operator error, such as misjudging load weight or miscalculating swing radius.
  • Power line contact, leading to electrocution accidents.
  • Lack of proper safety measures, including failure to secure loads.
  • Poor weather conditions making crane operation hazardous.

These accidents often result in serious injuries or fatalities, making it crucial to seek legal representation as soon as possible.

Types of Injuries in Crane Accidents

Crane accidents can cause life-threatening injuries, often requiring long-term medical care and rehabilitation. Some of the most severe injuries include:

  • Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs)
  • Spinal cord damage and paralysis
  • Crushed limbs and amputations
  • Broken bones and fractures
  • Internal organ damage
  • Severe burns and electrocution injuries

Victims may face lifelong physical and financial challenges, making compensation essential for their recovery and well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions About Crane Accidents

1. Who is liable for a crane accident?

Liability in a crane accident depends on the cause of the incident. It could be the construction company, the crane operator, the equipment manufacturer, or other parties responsible for site safety. A lawyer can investigate and determine fault.

2. Can I file a lawsuit if I was injured on the job?

If you were injured while working, you may be entitled to workers' compensation. However, if negligence by a third party contributed to the accident, you may also be able to file a personal injury lawsuit for additional damages.

3. What should I do after a crane accident?

Seek medical attention immediately, report the accident to your employer or the site manager, document the scene if possible, and consult with a crane accident lawyer to protect your rights.

4. How long do I have to file a claim for a crane accident in Tennessee?

Tennessee law generally allows one year from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to compensation.

5. Will my case go to trial?

Many crane accident cases are settled outside of court through negotiations with insurance companies. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, your lawyer may take your case to trial to fight for full compensation.
