Common Causes of Crane Accidents

Crane accidents are among the most catastrophic incidents on any job site. They can cause devastating injuries or fatalities in seconds. Behzadi Law helps victims of crane-related accidents recover workers’ comp and when possible: pursue additional compensation from third parties.

Crane accidents often happen because of:

  • Improper assembly or setup
  • Overloaded equipment
  • Mechanical failures or poor maintenance
  • Untrained or unqualified operators
  • Poor communication between ground crew and operator
  • Ignoring wind and weather risks
  • Obstructed work areas (such as power lines or nearby buildings)
  • Neglected swing radius precautions

Even when it seems like operator error, deeper investigation often reveals systemic safety failures, cut corners, or outside parties who share blame. That’s why we leave no stone unturned in finding out what really happened and who’s responsible.
