Crane Accidents When the Result Means Everything™

Dallas Crane Accident Lawyers

What is a Crane Accident?

Crane accidents are some of the most catastrophic incidents that can occur on construction sites. Cranes are powerful machines designed to lift and transport heavy materials, but when they malfunction or are improperly operated, they can cause devastating injuries or even fatalities. Crane accidents may involve the collapse of the crane itself, falling objects, or accidents caused by improper use. These incidents not only pose risks to construction workers but also to bystanders and nearby property.

At Lyons & Simmons, we understand the complexities of crane accident cases. If you or a loved one has been injured in a crane-related incident, our experienced Dallas crane accident attorneys are here to help you seek justice and secure the compensation you deserve.

Justice Served:

Record Verdicts Achieved
  • For their successful pursuit of justice in the face of adversity, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, and Stephen Higdon have been awarded the Dallas Trial Lawyers Association’s prestigious 2021 John Howie Award. The honor is based on the trial team’s work representing an Alabama mother who lost three children in a tragic West Texas highway accident.
  • In a case that drew national attention, Lyons & Simmons attorneys Michael Lyons, Chris Simmons, Chris Carr, P. Wes Black, and Michael Wozniak won a record-setting $109.5 million verdict against CPS Energy after proving the company’s failure to maintain its gas system led to a devastating explosion and fire. The result not only delivered justice for the victims — it set a new standard for accountability in the utility industry.

  • The firm secured a landmark jury verdict for a client whose life was permanently changed after systemic hospital failures caused a nearly five-hour delay in emergency surgery, resulting in catastrophic paralysis. The case brought to light serious breaches of hospital policy and was recognized by Courtroom View Network as one of the nation’s top verdicts of 2022.

  • Potentially responsible parties include crane operators, construction firms, property owners, manufacturers, and rental companies. Multiple parties may share legal responsibility depending on the specifics of the incident.

  • Damages may include compensation for medical costs, lost income, pain and suffering, and future care needs. The amount depends on the facts and the Texas laws that apply.

  • Texas law sets specific deadlines for injury lawsuits, usually two years from the date of the accident. Starting early helps preserve evidence and gives you stronger options.
  • You may still have legal options under Texas law, including possible claims against third parties or non-subscriber employers. The right strategy depends on your unique circumstances.
  • Many personal injury attorneys work on a contingency basis, which means no upfront costs for you. Discuss fee structures with our team to understand how the process works.
