Texas industrial accident lawyers on the danger from Texas industrial accidents caused by overhead cranes unexpectedly dropping their loads

Texas industrial accident lawyers point out that a substantial percentage of fatal construction and industrial accidents involve cranes. Some of these accidents occur when a crane arm or a load strikes a worker. A surprising number of fatal accidents happen when a crane drops its load.

In Leary, TX on Saturday, a 20-year-old worker, Stephen Rodney Cutchall, died from an overhead crane accident when a beam fell on him and struck him in the head. The accident occurred at the Jackson Pipe and Steel Company and is believed to have happened when a beam fell from an overhead crane. Loads can drop suddenly from overhead cranes for a variety of reasons:

• An inexperienced crane operator.

• Overloading the crane beyond its intended capacity.

• Improperly securing the load.

• Defective or poorly maintained crane components.

• Overbalancing the load.

A load dropping from an overhead crane gives those beneath it little or no time to react and get out of the way. The resulting injuries tend to be fatal or permanently disabling.
