Crane Accident Victims May Recover Compensatory Damages For Their Injuries And Other Losses
When someone is negligent and that negligence causes or contributes to an accident where a person is injured, the injured person can recover compensatory damages for their accident injuries and other losses. By filing a personal injury claim in a state’s civil court, the injured party may seek to recover any of the following and more:
- Expenses for prescription drugs
- Emergency room bills
- Cost of physical rehabilitation
- Medical treatment costs
- Bills for doctor visits
- Hospital bills
- Loss of life enjoyment and companionship
- Emotional pain and suffering
- Surgical expenses
- Future anticipated medical bills related to the injury
- Loss of future earning capacity
- Loss of wages
- Lost earned sick and vacation time
Personal injury claims are based on negligence; if another person or entity’s negligence did not cause or contribute to the accident, then there is no basis for a claim.
Florida Workers Injured In Crane Accidents May Receive Workers’ Compensation Benefits
Workers’ compensation benefits are designed to assist workers who have suffered injury or illness while performing their job duties. Unlike personal injury claims which require proving negligence, workers’ compensation benefits are provided to injured workers regardless of who is at fault for the accident.
Florida workers are eligible to receive the following workers’ compensation benefits:
- Cost of medical treatment: Florida workers may be eligible to receive benefits for all medical treatment that is considered reasonable and necessary resulting from the workplace injury
- Benefits for temporary disability: Florida workers may be eligible to receive benefits for temporary disability in the form of monetary benefits that are intended to replace a portion of the wages that have been lost due to the workplace injury
- Benefits for permanent partial disability: Florida workers who have been in workplace accidents that result in permanent partial disability may be eligible to receive monetary benefits. The level of compensation a worker may receive is based on the specific body part that has been affected by the disability
- Benefits for permanent total disability: Florida workers who sustain a workplace injury or illness that will not improve with additional medical treatment may receive permanent total disability benefits
- Expenses for vocational rehabilitation: a worker that is injured on the job may receive vocational training or education so that the worker can pursue a new line of work

Frequently Asked Questions About Crane Accidents In Palm Beach County and Broward County, Florida
In Florida, the statute of limitations for filing an injury claim in the civil court is four years from the time the accident occurred. If you are filing a workers’ compensation claim in Florida, you must notify your employer of the injury within 30 days of the accident. If, however, your condition or illness develops over time, you are required to notify your employer within 30 days of the time you discovered that your injury was a result of your accident. Failure to notify your employer according to these deadlines may result in a loss of all or some of your benefits.
If you were injured in a crane accident, there may be other third parties who can be considered liable for your accident. For example, if the crane was defective, you may file a lawsuit against the crane manufacturer. If another contractor was in charge of the construction site, you may be able to hold them accountable.
