Will I be eligible to make a forklift injury claim?

Although forklift trucks can be very useful pieces of equipment, they can also be extremely dangerous. A report from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that forklift truck drivers are involved in almost a quarter of workplace vehicle accidents.

There are many different ways a person can be injured by a forklift truck. Some of the more common accidents involving fork lift trucks include:

• Colliding a forklift with another worker
• Being struck by falling loads or equipment
• Coming into contact with a forklift truck due to the machine becoming unstable
• Colliding with another forklift truck or vehicle

If you have received an injury from an accident involving a forklift truck, it is always advisable to contact a solicitor as soon as possible. It is the employer’s responsibility to make sure their employee’s work within a safe and controlled environment.

What does the compensation cover?

Our aim is to help you receive the compensation you deserve as a result of a forklift injury. The financial compensation is intended to cover:

• Medical fees
• Loss of earnings
• Rehabilitation costs

The compensation is also intended to help those who have suffered from physical or physiological pain such as mental distress or a general loss of enjoyment.
