How a Crane Accident in Iowa Can Occur

According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a crane accident is one of the most common accidents to occur on a construction site. And because of this, OSHA has established strict regulations for the safety and maintenance of cranes. If a business owner or contractor fails to observe these regulations, then the result may be a devastating or fatal crane accident in Iowa.

Some of the most common types of crane accidents that occur on a construction site include:

collapse (from overloading, improper assembly or poor manufacturing);
buckling of the boom;
overturning;
dropping loads;
oversteering; and
striking a construction worker or bystander.

Furthermore, more than 40% of crane accidents are a result of electrocution. This is because cranes are tall and have a wide range of motion, which makes them susceptible to hitting power lines. If you have been injured in a crane accident in Iowa, and the accident was a result of someone's failure to follow safety regulations, then you may be eligible for compensation in an Iowa personal injury claim.

An Iowa personal injury claim can help cover your medical expenses, lost wages and pain and suffering that may have been caused from a crane accident in Iowa. An Iowa construction accident lawyer can help you to file a claim, gather necessary documents to support your claim and represent you with insurance adjusters, and in court, if necessary.
