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.

A crane accident is any kind of accident at work, or in the local vicinity, involving an industrial crane. Cranes can come in a wide range of styles and sizes, all of which can be extremely dangerous when used incorrectly. In most cases an accident occurs if the company or crane operator fails to take due care and attention.

Research carried out by the Health and Safety Executive highlights the fact that since the year 2000, there have been a total five major incidents involving crane tower collapses on construction sites in the UK. https://www.hse.gov.uk/Research/rrhtm/rr820.htm

If you have sustained any kind of injury caused by a crane in the last three years as a result of negligence on the part of a third party, then you may be entitled to file a personal injury claim. To have the best chance of securing the maximum amount of crane accident compensation, you should employ the services of a personal injury solicitor to pursue the claim on your behalf. Here at Tylers, our experienced team of no win, no fee personal injury solicitors have a successful track record in securing crane accident compensation for clients from across the UK.
