Filing Personal Injury Claims for Injured Workers
Our attorneys advocate for clients in personal injury cases. Because workers’ compensation may not cover all the expenses of an injured worker, our attorneys file third-party personal injury lawsuits against the party liable for the accident. This could include the forklift manufacturer, an outside forklift maintenance company, a subcontractor, or another entity or individual who is not the injured person’s employer. It could include an outside trainer who failed to properly stress forklift safety.
Examples of Forklift Accidents
Forklift tip-overs are common accidents, occurring because the forklift was improperly loaded or designed in such a way to become easily unbalanced. Design and manufacturing errors such as this are frequently cited as causes of forklift accidents and injuries. There may be no cab door to protect the operator. Subcontractors may fail to properly train forklift operators or remove warning signs installed in the cab area. These types of incidents may result in injury to the operator of the forklift or to persons in the area.
