Brain Injury from a Crane Accident?
Crane accidents are among the deadliest workplace incidents. Whether you were struck by a load, involved in a crane collapse, or injured as an operator, you likely have claims against multiple parties.
You May Have TWO Separate Claims
Workers' Compensation benefits PLUS a third-party personal injury lawsuit for full damages
Understanding Crane Accident Brain Injuries
Cranes move massive loads across construction sites, warehouses, ports, and factories throughout Pennsylvania. When something goes wrong - a cable snaps, a load shifts, an outrigger fails, or the crane tips - the results are often catastrophic brain injuries or death. These complex accidents frequently involve multiple responsible parties beyond your employer.
Important Warning
Crane accidents often involve being struck by loads weighing thousands of pounds. Even 'near misses' where the load grazes a worker can cause severe brain injuries from the impact force. Any head contact in a crane incident requires immediate neurological evaluation.
Common Crane Accident Scenarios
Struck by falling loads or rigging failures
Crane collapse or tip-over
Overhead crane strikes worker below
Electrocution from contact with power lines
Mobile crane accidents during setup/operation
Boom truck accidents and failures
Who Else Can Be Held Responsible?
Beyond workers' comp, these third parties may owe you additional compensation:
Crane manufacturer (design or manufacturing defects)
Crane rental company (inadequate inspection/maintenance)
Rigging company (improper load securement)
General contractor (site safety violations)
Utility company (failure to de-energize power lines)
Crane inspection company (negligent certification)
A third-party case can provide compensation for pain and suffering, full lost wages, and future damages that workers' comp doesn't cover.

“Many crane accidentvictims I meet were initially told they were fine. But weeks or months later, they're struggling with headaches, memory problems, and personality changes. A negative CT scan doesn't rule out a brain injury. If something feels wrong, trust your instincts and get evaluated.”
