If you have been hurt in a crane-related accident on the job, you may be dealing with severe pain, missed paychecks, and a growing list of medical appointments. Physical and financial stress can create negative effects when you are trying to resolve getting the benefits you need to recover and overcome your difficulties.
At Schaffer & Associates, a Findlay crane injury lawyer can help you get the workers’ compensation benefits you are entitled to. If you were hurt while working with or around a crane, our attorneys can guide you through your claim and protect your rights. Let us take care of the legalities so you can focus on your health.
Crane accidents can happen in different ways. Workers can fall from great heights, get hit by falling materials, be crushed by swinging arms, or be injured by mechanical failures. Because these machines are so powerful and heavy, injuries tend to be serious—broken bones, head injuries, or spinal damage—and may cause permanent disability.
If you were injured while working, you can file a workers’ compensation claim regardless of who was at fault, but the process is not simple. The Bureau of Workers’ Compensation (BWC) has strict rules and timelines, and the employer or their insurer often will question what happened when your claim involves heavy equipment. You need a crane injury attorney with experience working in Findlay and the surrounding area who will handle these challenges and work with your BWC physician to ensure your injury is fully documented, and your rights are protected.
Crane injury cases are often more complicated than other workers’ compensation claims. These accidents typically happen on large construction sites, where multiple contractors and subcontractors may work together. A thorough investigation is needed to decide who was responsible and how that affects your claim. In some cases, there may be a separate personal injury case if a third party played a role in your damages.
Our crane injury attorneys have helped workers in Findlay and the surrounding area with complex cases. We know how to investigate the circumstances, preserve evidence, and present a thorough explanation to the BWC. From the start, we will make sure you understand your rights and options.
From filing your initial paperwork to representing you at your workers’ compensation hearing, Schaffer & Associates will be with you during the entire process. We can help file an appeal and gather the medical records and evidence needed to strengthen your case if your claim was denied. Hearings are usually informal but complex. We will guide you through what to expect, so you feel prepared and supported throughout the process.
