DuPage County Scissor Lift Collapse Injury Lawyers
Some of the most severe construction site and industrial accidents occur when cranes collapse, tip, malfunction or are improperly operated. Scissor lifts, boom lifts and cherry pickers create many of the same risks as they are often used to lift workers and heavy objects up to 60-70 feet above ground.
A workers' compensation claim may be one source of financial benefits after an injury or an on-the-job fatality. However, you should also contact an experienced personal injury attorney who can determine whether a "third party" other than your employer should be held financially accountable for what happened to you or your loved one.
Taking Action for Victims of Catastrophic On-the-Job Injuries
Crane accident and scissor lift accident victims often suffer work-ending and life-changing harm including brain injuries, paralysis, disabling back injuries, crush injuries and multiple fractures. The tremendous, potentially lifelong medical and personal care needs of victims make it essential to work with attorneys who have the resources to accurately project these costs and target a recovery that will make a meaningful difference for you.
Thorough Investigation of Falls, Equipment Collapses and Impact Accidents
Working with engineers, industrial safety experts and others as needed, our attorneys are well prepared to conduct a detailed investigation of your crane accident or other industrial accident. We will consider possible factors ranging from equipment defects or maintenance issues to operator error and improper training, all of which can cause or contribute to:
- Worker falls from cranes, scissor lifts and other industrial equipment
- Crane collapses and tip-overs due to overloads and equipment failures, high winds or other causes
- Impact from debris that falls from the platform or bucket to the work surface below
- Electrocution or serious electrical injuries from equipment contact with overhead power lines
