Cranes are complex pieces of machinery, often operating and transporting extremely heavy materials at great heights. When cranes aren’t operated correctly or an equipment malfunction causes an accident, serious injury and death can follow. Crane accidents can occur as a result of problems with virtually any component of the crane, including derricks, hoists, and hoisting accessories.

How Do Crane Accidents Occur in New York?

There are very specific regulations in place to govern the operation of cranes on a construction site – and most employers follow these guidelines rigorously. Safety regulations include:

However, despite these and other rules, New York construction accidents involving cranes continue to occur. Some of the more common scenarios that can cause a crane accident include:

Some New York construction accidents happen because of honest, albeit dangerous, mistakes. Far more happen because of negligence on the part of contractors, equipment manufacturers, or other parties on the construction site. The law prohibits employees from suing their employers in a New York construction injury lawsuit – however, if another company or entity is responsible for the accident, the injured worker can file a claim against the third party (not his or her employer). New York City crane accident claims are rarely simple because there are so many factors involved – so it’s essential to work with a crane and heavy equipment accident attorney in NYC like David Resnick & Associates, P.C.

Our New York City personal injury lawyers can evaluate your situation and determine if you have a case against a third party that is not your employer. Crane accident claims can result in payment of compensation for your injuries that includes:

• Pain and suffering
• Additional wage loss benefits beyond what workers’ compensation will pay
• Medical bills
• Loss of relationship – This assigns a monetary cost to the activities and services you are no longer able to provide to your immediate family due to your injuries.
