FAQs
Who can be held responsible for a forklift accident?
Responsibility for forklift accidents may fall on employers, contractors, equipment manufacturers, or other third parties involved in operations or maintenance. Causes may include lack of maintenance, unsafe practices, or inadequate training standards.
What should I do after a forklift accident at work?
Get medical care, report the accident to your supervisor or employer, and keep thorough records of your injuries and the incident. Speak with a qualified forklift accident lawyer before giving formal statements or accepting a settlement offer.
Can I pursue a third-party claim if I have workers' compensation?
While workers' compensation covers medical bills and lost wages, you can sometimes pursue a personal injury claim against others whose negligence contributed to your injury. Ask an attorney to review your claim for possible third-party liability.
How much time do I have to start a claim in California?
Time limits (statutes of limitations) apply to both workers' compensation and personal injury cases in this state. Contacting a lawyer soon after your injury helps protect your options and ensures important deadlines are met.
What compensation is available for forklift accidents?
Potential damages may include medical treatment costs, lost income, rehabilitation, and possibly pain and suffering, depending on the specifics of your case. A forklift accident attorney can guide you through available recovery options.
