Construction sites are dangerous places, and when a crane operator is negligent, everyone in the area is put at risk. Find out if you can seek compensation by consulting with a Spokane crane accident lawyer.
Because cranes are such massive pieces of equipment, any accident that involves one is bound to be a terrifying event. When injuries happen in crane accidents, they are nearly always serious and require a great deal of expensive medical care.
If you were injured in a crane accident, you should speak with a Spokane crane accident lawyer from Craig Swapp & Associates. You might have legal grounds to file a personal injury lawsuit in addition to receiving workers compensation benefits.
Crane accidents sometimes arise due to design or manufacturing flaws. These defects could be present in the actual crane itself or in the safety gear used when operating it. If we can prove that the manufacturer produced shoddy products, you can seek financial compensation that will be far more comprehensive than what your work comp will provide.
It might be that the crane was being operated by one of your coworkers when the accident happened. If your coworker was at fault for what happened but you are both employees of the same company, your case won’t qualify for a personal injury claim unless malice or truly egregious misconduct were involved.
However, if the crane operator was a third-party contractor, you will then have grounds for a personal injury claim, even if simple negligence was the root cause.
Your Spokane crane accident lawyer will help you determine who was at fault so that you can make an informed decision as to whether to proceed with your claim. We will determine if a third party contributed to your accident or if your employer was grossly negligent and can be sued.
This is a process that requires gathering evidence, building a case, negotiating, and possibly even going to court. It takes time, but it’s worth it to receive the full financial compensation that you deserve.
As mentioned, a crane accident will allow you to recover damages that are far more comprehensive than what workers compensation can provide. Settling for work comp means that you’ll only be able to recover the cost of medical care and a percentage of your lost wages.
Working with a Spokane crane accident lawyer will allow you to receive compensation for all of the following items:
Few construction accidents can result in as much devastation as crane accidents can. When you’ve been injured, you need to know if you can get more than what workers compensation will provide.
