Arizona Crane Accident Injures Worker
A worker was injured after a construction crane flipped over in a work site in Chandler, Arizona. According to a news report in the Southeast Valley News, the accident occurred near Alma School and Ray Road. The crane was reportedly being used to remove trees from a home's yard when the 100-foot arm of the crane snapped. The crane then slowly turned over. Thankfully, the driver of the crane did not sustain life-threatening injuries.
Arizona crane accidents in construction sites can cause catastrophic injuries or even death. Serious personal injuries can occur when materials are dropped from the crane, when the crane has defective parts or when the operator is negligent.
Workers injured on a construction job site are often eligible for compensation to cover medical expenses, cost of hospitalization, loss of wages, continued treatment and physical therapy that might be necessary for the worker to make a complete recovery. In cases where a third party was responsible for the accident – such as a contractor, sub-contractor or the manufacturer of a defective product – the injured worker can file a claim for compensation in addition to state workers’ compensation benefits.
