Fighting for Crane Accident Victims Across Louisiana

A crane accident can happen in seconds, but the injuries can change your life forever. Louisiana’s industrial economy, from oil refineries along the Mississippi River to LNG terminals in Plaquemines Parish, puts workers near heavy cranes every single day. Port operations in New Orleans, construction projects in Baton Rouge, and petrochemical plants across the state all depend on this equipment. When a crane collapse, falling load, or equipment failure injures you or a loved one, you deserve a legal team that fights hard.

At Gordon McKernan Injury Attorneys, our Louisiana crane accident lawyers stand up for injured workers and families across the state. We have recovered approximately $3 Billion for injury victims, and our personal injury lawyers bring 679+ years of combined legal experience to every case we take on.

Types of Crane Accident Injuries We Handle

The injuries from a crane accident are often severe, sometimes permanent. A single construction accident can leave victims with crushed limbs, spinal damage, traumatic brain injuries, or worse. These are not injuries you simply walk away from, and the medical costs that follow can be overwhelming.

Crane Accidents and Louisiana Workplace Law

Many crane accident victims in Louisiana are covered by workers’ compensation. That coverage can pay for medical treatment, lost wages, and disability benefits. However, workers’ comp alone often falls short of covering the full impact of a catastrophic injury.

In many cases, a third-party personal injury claim is also available. If a contractor, equipment manufacturer, or another party outside your direct employer contributed to the accident, you may be entitled to pursue additional compensation beyond workers’ comp limits. Our attorneys evaluate every case to identify all possible recovery options.

Who Is Liable for a Crane Accident in Louisiana?

Crane accident cases are rarely straightforward. Multiple parties can share responsibility for what went wrong, and identifying all of them is critical to recovering full compensation.

Liable parties may include:

Crane operators who acted negligently
Employers or contractors who skipped safety training
Equipment manufacturers whose cranes or components were defective
Rigging crews responsible for load control
Property owners who failed to maintain a safe worksite

Our team investigates every angle of your claim to ensure no responsible party escapes accountability. Louisiana’s oil, gas, and construction industries involve complex chains of contractors and subcontractors, which means multiple parties often share fault. As an experienced personal injury lawyer team, we know exactly how to untangle that complexity.

Mistakes to Avoid After a Crane Accident

The steps you take right after a crane accident matter more than most people realize. Certain mistakes can seriously damage your claim before it even gets started.

Avoid:

Admitting fault or making statements to insurers without a lawyer
Delaying or skipping medical treatment
Allowing defective equipment to be moved or repaired before documentation
Posting about the accident on social media
Accepting an early settlement offer without legal review

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an outstanding experience throughout my injury case, from the initial investigation to the final resolution. The services I received were exceptionally great. Every step of the process was handled with professionalism, compassion, and dedication. My Attorney Bret Robinson was very caring and informative.

I was able to receive all the medical attention I needed and was fairly compensated for my injuries. I always felt supported, valued, and informed throughout the entire process.

As an added special touch, I was presented with thoughtful gifts during my final visit, which made my experience even more memorable. It was truly a reflection of the outstanding customer care and appreciation shown to me.

I highly recommend Gordons to anyone in need of legal representation. You will be treated with professionalism, respect, and genuine care.
