2. Crane is a common piece of construction site equipment and
it makes easy to transport thousands of pounds worth of
materials.
But the downside is that crane accidents can and do happen,
so the equipment poses a risk for construction workers.

3. Causes of crane accidents
The main causes of most crane accidents include:
• Overturns
• Collision with other equipment
• Mechanical malfunctions
• Hitting power lines
• Mishaps during lifting

4. The main risk associated with a crane is that it can easily tip
over. When a crane is set-up improperly, is carrying an
overweight load, or is in operation on unstable ground, it can
very easily topple over.
Using a crane during windy weather conditions can cause it to
tip over as well.

5. Crane accident injuries
When a crane accident occurs, nearby workers are more likely
to suffer injury – as opposed to the crane operator.
Someone such as an ironworker, rigger, carpenter or even
non-construction worker on the site is more likely to suffer
injury during a crane accident.

6. Although most crane accidents do no result in death, serious
injuries can occur. Crushed legs, broken bones, organ damage,
burns and even permanent paralysis can occur following a
crane accident.
The injured person may face a lifetime of rehabilitation and
long-term care.

7. If you are hurt in a crane accident through no fault of your
own, then you may have grounds for a personal injury lawsuit.
