Crane Accident Claims

Cranes are essential to many construction projects, enabling materials to be lifted, moved and lowered with ease. However, when not operated correctly or poorly maintained, cranes can be extremely dangerous. A wide range of severe or even fatal injuries can occur as a result of a crane accident. If you have sustained any injury caused by a crane in the last three years due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim.  At Tylers Solicitors, our experienced team of no-win, no-fee personal injury solicitors has a successful track record in securing crane accident compensation for clients across the UK. To start your crane accident claim, please get in touch with our team — we will be more than happy to assist you.

What is a Crane Injury?

A crane injury could involve the crane falling over during operation, faulty mechanics, or poor driver operation, causing injuries to workers and passers-by. If a crane is forced to move too much weight or if the materials haven’t been attached correctly, this could result in serious injury.

Some of the injuries sustained in accidents involving a crane include: 

In addition to physical injuries, crane incidents can cause a range of mental problems, such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which can be life-altering.

Over the years, our personal injury solicitors have fought for many crane accident claims. Thanks to our no-win, no-fee legal service, you’ll get the compensation you need to move on with your life.

What evidence do I need to make a crane accident claim?

There are many things you can do to help give your crane injury claim the best chance of success.

  • Report the incident to your site manager or employer as soon as possible.
  • Make sure the incident is recorded in the accident book.
  • Provide us with precise information regarding how the accident happened and details of any injuries sustained.
  • Collect the names and contact details of anyone who witnessed the injury.
  • Take photographs of the accident scene (providing it is safe to do so).
  • Record any expenditures resulting from your injury (e.g. rehabilitation costs).
  • Keep a record of any financial losses incurred due to your injury (i.e. loss of earnings, days off work).

Remember — the more evidence you provide, the more chance your crane accident claim will be successful. If you have any questions or would like to make a crane injury claim, please contact the team here at Tylers Solicitors.

Crane Accident Claims

What are the Common Causes of Crane Incidents?

A crane injury can be caused by a variety of different issues. Some will be due to human error, whereas some are due to mechanical failures or weather conditions. Here are some of the most common causes of crane accidents:

  • Crane imbalance.
  • Toppling (due to an operator error).
  • Dropping heavy items/materials.
  • Making contact with live power lines.
  • Accidents involving the swinging hook component.

In the majority of instances, crane accidents occur as a result of human negligence. There are stringent rules and regulations in place to eliminate the risk of accidents such as those lifted above from occurring.

Regardless of how you sustained your injuries, if you’ve experienced a crane accident in the past three years, you could be entitled to compensation. Our experienced solicitors can help you to claim the compensation you deserve.
