Forklifts are a key piece of machinery on construction sites as well as in industrial settings. They are used to help increase productivity and efficiency on sites where lifting of heavy objects is required. Like other heavy machinery, forklifts must be operated with great care. This is because they pose a great risk to the safety of those on the site. When a forklift accident occurs, it can have serious and long-term consequences. It is in the best interests of victims of these accidents to seek the guidance and representation of an experienced New Jersey forklift accident lawyer to pursue compensation for damages resulting from the accident.

Frequently Asked Questions about Forklift Accidents

Can I file a personal injury lawsuit for a forklift accident if I am getting workers’ compensation?

While workers’ compensation offers some financial compensation for the accident, it will not cover all your damages. Forklift accidents are often serious accidents that result in severe injuries requiring extensive treatment. Workers’ compensation benefits often only cover medical expenses as well as part of your lost wages. Filing a personal injury lawsuit will provide you with additional compensation for other damages including pain and suffering, long-term care, and many more.

If you have been injured in a forklift accident, you can file a personal injury lawsuit against any third party other than your employer that played a role in causing the accident. Contact Garber Law, P.C. to consult with an experienced forklift injury attorney in Camden County, NJ. We will review your case to identify any liable third parties and help you file a personal injury claim to recover compensation for your damages.

Who can I hold liable for a forklift accident?

If you were injured in a forklift accident, you can file for workers’ compensation benefits. This system is a no-fault system that provides benefits to cover your medical expenses as well as part of your lost wages. You can receive additional compensation by filing a personal injury lawsuit for your forklift accident. This can be filed against any third party whose negligence contributed to the occurrence of the accident. For this type of lawsuit, you will have to identify and demonstrate fault.
Some of the parties that can be held liable for a forklift injury include:

– The forklift operator
– The company that employed the reckless or negligent forklift operator (if it is a company other than your employer)
– The manufacturer of the forklift or a defective part
