Forklifts are used to perform key functions on construction sites, in factories and warehouses, and even in big-box stores where heavy objects must be moved around. While they perform an important function, forklifts must be properly operated and maintained to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Forklifts are involved in thousands of accidents that cause serious injury or death every year. OSHA and New Jersey state rules provide safety guidelines for the use of forklifts, but these guidelines are often ignored or not understood. The bottom line: many forklift accidents and injuries are entirely preventable.
Some of the most common causes of forklift accidents include:
Employers are responsible for providing training, evaluation, and certification for forklift operators. Failure to do so can result in both OSHA fines and financial liability when others are hurt in a forklift accident.

Workers’ compensation is valuable. In some cases, however, it does not cover the true cost of your injuries. Forklift accident injuries are often serious and can require extensive and painful treatment. Workers’ compensation covers your medical expenses and a part of your lost wages. You may even qualify for occupational therapy to help you get back to work. In a personal injury lawsuit, you can also recover:
– Your full lost wages – Compensation for pain and suffering – Emotional distress – Loss of your loved one’s company – Loss of your ability to do the things you loved before the accident
You qualify for workers’ compensation if you were injured in any accident at work. It does not matter who caused the forklift accident—as long as you were an employee and the accident was work-related, New Jersey law gives you the right to workers’ compensation.
Most forklift accident claims are based on negligence. Our lawyers will work to prove the following basic elements of a negligence claim:
– The forklift accident happened because someone else was careless or reckless (in other words, a person who owed a duty to keep others safe breached that duty by acting carelessly) – The forklift accident actually caused your injuries You suffered damages as a result
– To prove these elements, we conduct an investigation into what happened in your case. Evidence such as forklift maintenance records, eyewitness testimony, the forklift’s condition and more can be used to support your claim.
