Forklift trucks are used in factories, stores, warehouses, goods yards and heavy haulage depots to move heavy and bulky goods. Due to the nature of forklift truck work, there is a high level of risk, and each year many people are injured in a forklift accident.
It is a legal requirement that employers provide adequate training so that employees can use forklift trucks safely. Newly trained staff have to work under supervision until fully experienced. 80% of forklift accidents involve a pedestrian, and the power of forklift trucks means that when an accident does take place, the injuries are often very serious. We have dealt with many different types of forklift accident including:
If you have been injured in a forklift accident due to a driver being inexperienced, not paying attention or driving it inappropriately, we can help you claim for personal injury compensation. We have also dealt with claims for forklift accidents that have been caused by poor maintenance and unsuitable premises.
Worried about claiming against your employer?
You may have concerns about making a claim against your employer for fear of the ramifications. You may think it will affect the relationships you have with colleagues and damage your long term career prospects. These apprehensions are quite common, but in the majority of cases they are unfounded. Any claim will be made against your employer’s insurance company and there will be no need for you to deal with anyone from your company. If you are concerned about how your employer will react to you making a claim against them, we can discuss this with you in more detail.
Also, by making a claim, you may help to prevent another forklift accident happening again (e.g. if a driver is unsuitable to operate a forklift, he/she will be prevented from any further use).
