FAQs About Forklift Accidents
Can I sue after a forklift accident at work?
If you suffer a work-related forklift injury, workers' compensation usually provides basic benefits. In certain cases, you may also pursue a personal injury claim against a third party, such as an equipment manufacturer or a property owner. Each case depends on the cause of the accident and who contributed to unsafe conditions.
What should I do if I’m injured in a forklift accident?
Immediately report the incident to your employer, seek medical care, and carefully document your injuries and treatment. Save all records and consult an attorney before sharing details with insurance companies or other parties. Fast action can help protect your health and your legal rights.
How long do I have to file a claim?
California law sets specific deadlines for legal action after a forklift accident. These deadlines vary by claim type and the parties involved. Contacting a forklift accident lawyer shortly after the accident helps you avoid missing important deadlines and preserves your ability to seek compensation.
What if the accident involved a faulty forklift?
If a defective forklift or unsafe equipment contributed to your injury, a thorough investigation may reveal the manufacturer's or another party’s responsibility. Review of maintenance records, inspections, and safety standards often identifies additional recovery options beyond workers' compensation.
Will I have to go to court?
Many forklift injury cases settle through negotiation, but some proceed to trial if settlement proves impossible. Your attorney prepares your case for either outcome, always focused on your needs and circumstances. You remain in control of the decision whether to settle or seek a verdict in court.
