Common Causes of Crane Accidents in South Valley

Crane accidents are rarely straightforward and often occur due to negligence or oversight at multiple levels. Understanding the root cause of the accident is crucial to building a strong legal case.

Frequent Causes of Crane Accidents:

  • Improper Setup: Failure to properly secure a crane or account for site conditions can lead to tipping or collapse.
  • Mechanical Failures: Poor maintenance or defective components may cause structural malfunctions.
  • Overloading: Operating a crane beyond its weight capacity significantly increases the risk of accidents.
  • Environmental Conditions: High winds, uneven terrain, or poor soil stability can impact crane operations.
  • Contact with Power Lines: Many accidents occur when cranes or their loads come into contact with live electrical lines.
  • Operator Mistakes: Errors such as lack of proper certification, ignoring safety guidelines, or mishandling controls are common contributors to accidents.

Our firm conducts thorough investigations to identify all contributing factors and hold negligent parties responsible for their actions.

Common Injuries from Crane Accidents

Crane accidents often result in life-altering injuries that require lengthy recovery periods and extensive medical care. Common injuries include but are not limited to:

  • Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI): Severe head trauma that may lead to long-term cognitive or physical impairments.
  • Spinal Cord Injuries: Paralysis or mobility issues caused by damage to the spine.
  • Broken Bones: Fractures that may require surgeries or rehabilitation.
  • Electrocution and Burns: Injuries caused by contact with power lines or equipment malfunctions.
  • Internal Damage: Organ trauma that can often be life-threatening and difficult to detect initially.
  • Amputations: Loss of limbs, frequently resulting from being pinned or crushed by machinery.
  • Psychological Trauma: Conditions like PTSD that may persist long after the physical injuries heal.

At the Law Office of Nathan Cobb, we are committed to pursuing compensation that not only addresses your immediate medical needs but also accounts for ongoing care, lost income, and emotional suffering.
