Construction Crane Accidents Are Often Preventable
Construction is among the most dangerous industries in the United States due to the use of heavy equipment and machinery. Cranes are extremely large, complex to operate, and require precise coordination between crane operators and ground crews. A single moment of carelessness or a mechanical malfunction can result in a catastrophic accident.
Most crane accidents are caused by human error, including:
- Inadequate training or experience operating a crane
- Slip and fall accidents on the crane or its rigging
- Poor communication among the crane crew and others working around the crane
- Carrying an oversized or improperly secured load
- Setting up the crane on unstable or unsuitable ground
- Striking an active power line with the crane or its boom
- Faulty or defective crane machinery and equipment
When negligence or safety violations contribute to a crane accident, the responsible parties—including contractors, crane operators, equipment manufacturers, or property owners—may be held liable for the resulting injuries.
How to Pursue Compensation After a Crane Accident
Crane accident victims and their families can seek compensation through:
- Filing a workers’ compensation claim, and/or
- Filing a third-party liability lawsuit
Workers’ compensation benefits are available to all qualifying employees for any work-related injury, regardless of whether the employee was at fault for the incident.
A third-party liability lawsuit may be possible if someone other than your employer or co-worker contributed to the accident. For example, if a malfunctioning or defective crane caused the accident, the crane manufacturer, equipment supplier, or maintenance company may be held liable for your damages and losses.

Common Questions About Personal Injury Cases in California
If you’ve been injured, you probably have questions about how the legal process works, what it costs, and how long you have to take action. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from injured Californians.
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means we only get paid if we recover compensation for you. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in California?
In most cases, you have two years from the date of your injury to file a claim. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, especially claims involving government entities. It’s important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How is the value of my case determined?
Every case is different. The value depends on factors like the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and how the injury has affected your daily life. We review all of these factors during your free consultation.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
California follows a “comparative negligence” rule, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partly responsible. Your settlement may be reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re not automatically disqualified.
How long does a personal injury case take?
It depends. Some cases settle in a few months, while others, especially those involving serious injuries or disputes over fault, can take longer. We move as quickly as possible while making sure you receive fair compensation.
Do I have to go to court?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, we prepare every case for trial to strengthen your negotiating position and ensure you’re not pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
