Brooklyn Crane Accidents Lawyer

While one can be injured in any field of work, be it an office job or physical labor, construction sites may be one of the most hazardous. A crane accident can result in severe injuries. From spinal cord injuries to head trauma, it is unlikely that one will be able to just walk away with minor harm. Immediate medical attention or even hospitalization may be needed as soon as possible.

If you have been injured in a crane accident, working with a lawyer in Brooklyn can be incredibly helpful. Our team at Shulman & Hill is happy to provide you with the legal assistance you may need, and we will work tirelessly to help ensure you get the compensation you may be entitled to.

Common Injuries During Crane Accidents

There is a variety of injuries you may suffer from if you were involved in a crane accident. A number of potentially dangerous situations come specifically with heavy lifting on a crane. Some of the common injuries that you may have after a crane accident include:

  • Various types of head injuries
  • Concussion
  • General bruising, cuts, and lacerations
  • Spinal injuries, fractures, and damaged limbs if you happen to fall from a great height
  • Crush injuries, which may result in bleeding, bruising, fractures, and compartment syndrome

Crane accidents may involve materials falling from a great height on top of a person, a worker getting crushed in between a crane and another object, the operator of the crane falling out of the crane, or a crane collapsing. All of these can lead the victim to deal with complex injuries. Since they can be so serious, it is important to have the right legal representation on your side.

An attorney can help you identify potentially liable parties, including a property owner or contractor. These parties may be held financially responsible for your injuries if they failed to provide safe equipment or proper training.

If you have been hurt in a crane accident, it is important to seek medical help right away. Once urgent care has been provided, you should contact a personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. An attorney can help protect your rights to compensation and assist with the next steps to file a claim.

Brooklyn Crane Accidents Involving Workers

Property owners and contractors are required to provide the right equipment, warning signage, and training when heavy machinery like cranes are being used. When they fail to do so, it can result in catastrophic crane accidents.

In addition to filing a workers’ compensation claim, you may be able to pursue additional compensation from a negligent third party if they contributed to your accident.

The right legal team can investigate the circumstances surrounding your accident to help determine if a third party’s negligence may have contributed to your crane accident.

Having legal representation can benefit you greatly and give you time to recover. Besides determining the potentially liable parties, an attorney can help negotiate for a fair settlement offer or verdict.

How to File a Crane Accident Claim in Brooklyn

After an accident, it is important for you to file a claim as soon as possible. If you were injured on the job, your first step is to file a workers’ compensation claim. However, in some cases, you may be able to pursue additional compensation by filing a lawsuit against a negligent third party.

Gathering evidence that shows how your accident occurred and the extent of your losses is necessary to support your claim. Evidence like pictures of the crane and its location, statements from witnesses, surveillance camera footage, and medical statements you obtain directly after the accident can help prove that your claim is valid and it can also prove potential negligence. Our crane accident attorneys have a team of experts who can immediately investigate your claim following an injury.

Working with the right Brooklyn crane accident lawyer can help ensure you receive a fair amount of compensation. In addition to investigating your case, our attorneys will help you identify low settlement offers and can negotiate on your behalf to obtain a settlement or verdict that fully compensates you for your losses.

If we cannot reach a fair settlement, our attorneys will fight on your behalf in court.
