Forklift Accidents

Forklift accidents can cause crush injuries, fractures, and death when forklifts tip over, strike workers, or drop loads. Causes include operator error, inadequate training, speeding, uneven surfaces, overloaded forks, or defective equipment. Employers have a duty to train operators and maintain safe conditions; manufacturers may be liable for defective design or manufacturing. Proving liability often requires investigation of training records, maintenance, and the circumstances of the incident.

Injuries from forklift accidents can be severe and may prevent the victim from returning to work. Medical treatment and rehabilitation can be expensive and lengthy. Insurers and employers may dispute fault or the extent of damages. These cases can take time to resolve.

Pre-settlement funding helps you cover expenses while your attorney pursues your claim. You repay only from your settlement or verdict. That way you can pay for care and living expenses without accepting a low offer.
