Causes of Crane Accidents in Alabama

Some of the leading causes of crane accidents in Alabama include:

  • Cranes running into energized power lines
  • Overturned cranes
  • Loads dropping from cranes
  • Boom collapses
  • Crushing by the counterweight
  • Damage from the hook-lifting device
  • Falls from cranes
  • Rigging failures or outrigger use issues
  • The crane is not set up properly
  • The crane is not operated within the design parameters set out by the manufacturer
  • Crane selected for the job is not suited to the task
  • Outriggers are improperly extended
  • Pinch points are left unguarded
  • Weather
  • Being run over or struck by a crane
  • Improper safety inspections
  • The area surrounding the crane operation is congested

Crane accident victims and their families have two primary sources of potential compensation. One option is to file a workers’ compensation claim. Workers’ comp benefits are available to all employees for work-related injuries or deaths thanks to workers compensation solutions for businesses from similar insurers to FFVA and others. You may also file a third party liability lawsuit if someone other than your employer or co-worker contributed to the accident.
