Forklift Accident Injury Lawyers
If you were injured in a forklift accident, you may be eligible to recover compensation through both workers’ compensation benefits and a third-party personal injury claim. Contact our forklift accident attorneys today to discuss your legal options and learn what compensation may be available in your case.
Forklift Accidents Are Often Caused Because of the Negligence of Another Party
Traumatic Brain Injuries
Forklift accidents can cause traumatic brain injuries when a worker is struck by falling inventory, thrown from a forklift during a rollover, hit by equipment, or suffers a blow to the head. These injuries can lead to long-term problems with memory, concentration, balance, and daily functioning. Our forklift injury attorneys work with medical experts to determine the full extent of the injury and accurately calculate both current and future medical costs.
Spinal Cord & Back Injuries
Forklift accidents can cause serious back and spinal injuries when a worker falls, is struck by equipment, becomes pinned between objects, or is involved in a rollover. These accidents can lead to herniated discs, fractured vertebrae, nerve damage, and other painful conditions that often require surgery. Because spinal surgery, rehabilitation, and ongoing treatment can be extremely expensive, accurately valuing these injuries is critical when pursuing compensation.
Bone Fractures and Torn Ligaments
Forklift accidents can cause torn ligaments and broken bones when workers are struck by moving equipment, pinned between objects, crushed by falling loads, or thrown from a forklift during a collision or rollover. The tremendous force involved in these accidents can lead to fractures of the arms, legs, ribs, hips, or pelvis, as well as ligament tears in the knees, shoulders, ankles, and other joints. These injuries often require surgery, physical therapy, and extended time away from work to recover.
