Disasters involving cranes at a construction site are generally avoidable. They occur most often due to human error or negligence, meaning the failure to act with proper care. Common causes of crane accidents include:
Crane accidents such as collapses, dropped loads, boom collapses, overloading, structural failure, and cranes striking buildings or people can all lead to personal injury claims in Denver if one or more parties are responsible.
If you get injured in a crane accident, report it immediately and get medical attention without delay. Evacuate the area for safety and tell your employer or the construction site supervisor right away. Request a written incident report for your records. OSHA should be notified about the crane accident, as well, if it involves injuries or deaths.
Document the scene before you leave by taking pictures of the accident site and obtaining witness statements. Do not move the crane or debris until investigators can evaluate the site (unless necessary for safety reasons). Seek legal advice right away.
