National Forklift Accident Attorney
A forklift is often the most dangerous piece of equipment that can be found in a typical manufacturing facility, warehouse, grocery store, or construction site. Although heavy, its small size makes it prone to falling over on uneven surfaces, and its speed can contribute to collisions with people and property. Proper maintenance and operator safety training are essential to minimize forklift accidents.
Forklift accidents can lead to serious injuries and even death for both forklift operators and those who are struck by a fast-moving forklift. If you’ve incurred a forklift injury, or if your loved one died when a forklift overturned on them or struck them, you may be able to seek financial compensation for your loss. Contact the workplace accident attorneys at the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano, P.C. We help injured people find financial recovery.
Our Cherry Hill, New Jersey, forklift accident lawyers represent people who have been injured in forklift accidents throughout South Jersey and southeastern Pennsylvania, at construction sites, in industrial workplaces, and in public venues such as warehouse stores.
Our New Jersey forklift accident lawyers have an outstanding reputation for pursuing financial recovery from all responsible parties, including manufacturers of defective products, property owners, and maintenance companies that failed to properly maintain equipment. You can see some of the forklift accident cases we’ve handled successfully on our Verdicts and Settlements page.
-
Was the forklift driver properly trained in safety procedures? Were those procedures followed (for example, did the forklift operator sound a warning horn when approaching an area in which his or her vision was obstructed)?
-
Was the forklift equipped with a seat belt to prevent the driver from being ejected and crushed if the forklift tipped over?
-
Had the forklift been properly maintained? Were brakes, blades, and cables inspected on a regular schedule to ensure its safe operation and that cables would not snap?
-
Was the forklift operator told by his/her supervisor to operate the forklift in a dangerous area or on an uneven surface?
-
Was the forklift equipped properly for the task? If not, did this lead to the forklift accident (for example, were the forklift blades too small to lift the equipment it was supposed to lift)?
It should be clear from these questions that forklift injuries require an experienced attorney to thoroughly investigate the cause of the accident in order to prove liability. A forklift collision with scaffolding, causing the scaffolding to collapse and people to be injured by falling products, may at first seem to be driver error but could be a case of improper maintenance. There may be several parties responsible for your injuries.
The forklift accident lawyers at the Law Firm of Ronald A. Graziano have an outstanding reputation for finding and pursuing third-party litigation, outside of claims for workers’ compensation. Contact our law office to speak to an injury attorney who is familiar with industrial equipment and who can help you recover financially from your injuries.
