Midstream Transfer Crane Accident

THE FACTS
Utility man was instructed by the crane operator to load the clam-shell with water bottles for the toppers in the hole of the cargo ship. As the utility man placed the bottles in the clam-shell, the crane operator abruptly closed the clam-shell, crushing the utility man’s hand.

OUR RESULT
Lambert Zainey maritime injury lawyers were able to negotiate a settlement with the vessel owner on behalf of the utility man by showing that the crane operator had improperly supervised the utility man, who had not yet been sufficiently trained in working on the river.
