Approximately 25% - 33% of fatalities that result from a construction accident are due to crane accidents, according to statistics.

If you were injured in a crane accident, you will most likely qualify for workers' compensation benefits. However, keep in mind that these benefits are not always sufficient enough to completely compensate the worker for all the damages that were sustained in their accident. An accident lawyer can help the injured worker receive not just workers' compensation benefits, but also monetary compensation to cover any lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
