Florida Crane Injury Lawyer
Large cranes are critical to the construction industry. They are used on many different types of commercial and residential construction projects, especially in large cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale and Naples/Fort Myers. But their widespread use does not make them safe. According to government statistics, cranes and related equipment account for 17% of fatal injuries in U.S. construction. However, the proportion of injuries actually involving construction vehicles and equipment is probably much greater.
At the South Florida law offices of Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., we represent workers and bystanders who have been injured in crane accidents. These cases involve injuries on construction sites, many of which were caused by crane defects or by the negligence of an operator.
There are many different ways that cranes can cause injury:
- Overloading and improper loading
- Exceeding hoist limitations
- Failure to use safety equipment or flagmen
- Improper training of crane operators
- Boom buckling
- Operating cranes on improper surfaces, leading to overturning
- Oversteering/crabbing
- Contact with power lines, leading to electrocution

Friedman, Rodman & Frank, P.A., represented a laborer who was struck by a large form connected to a crane and became paralyzed. Our construction accident lawyers held the defendants accountable on the basis that the defendants' actions made their serious injuries substantially certain to occur and recovered $2.5 million in a negligence claim and $2.5 million in a worker's compensation claim for that same worker.
