Passaic Forklift Accident Lawyer

Home » Areas We Serve » Passaic Personal Injury Lawyer » Construction Accidents » Forklift Accidents

Forklift accidents cause injuries and fatalities every day in the U.S. Call Morelli Law about your forklift accident to get aggressive legal representation for your claim.

Forklift accidents are more common than you may think. Thousands of forklift injuries happen each year, and a few dozen workers die. These machines are useful, but also dangerous and require training and certification before they’re used. When they’re used wrong, accidents happen.

Morelli Law can connect you with a forklift accident attorney in Passaic, NJ, to help you get compensation after a forklift accident. Few forklift accidents are minor. Most victims face at least 2-3 weeks off of work to recover, but you can recover compensation with our help.

What Causes Forklift Accidents?

Improper forklift handling and not paying attention to what’s happening are the major causes for forklift accidents. A major cause of forklift fatalities is when the forklift overturns. This can crush the driver and surrounding bystanders.

Other causes of forklift accidents and fatalities include:

  • Bystanders crushed by falling loads
  • Dropped loads because of an imbalanced forklift
  • Hitting another worker with the forklift
  • Failing to warn others when the forklift is in use
  • Crushing or pinning others with the vehicle or the load
  • Hitting another vehicle
  • Falling from the forklift

Many workers in forklift accidents suffer permanent injuries, disability, and sometimes death. Forklifts can carry thousands of pounds of weight and are equally heavy to counterbalance the load. Forklift accidents don’t have to happen at a high speed to cause painful injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, concussion, and internal bleeding.

Am I Owed Compensation for My Forklift Accident?

If your accident happened while you were working, workers’ compensation may cover your injuries. Report any forklift accident to your manager and speak with one of our forklift accident attorneys in Passaic, NJ, for advice on how to structure your workers’ comp claim.

If you were a bystander, got hurt, and believe that it wasn’t your fault, then your case will depend on who was negligent in the accident. Proving someone else was liable for your injury requires proving four things:

  • Someone was responsible for operating the forklift safely
  • They didn’t operate it safely
  • Their unsafe operation caused an accident
  • That accident injured you or your property

Morelli Law has helped recover billions for victims in New Jersey, and we can help you get compensation for your forklift accident. Our personal injury team is among the top rated in the nation. Put our expertise to work for you after your forklift accident.

What Are the Potential Damages?

Every forklift accident is unique, and part of the job of your lawyer is to find evidence for all the potential damages you’ve suffered after your accident. Some of these damages include things like:

  • Medical and surgical bills
  • Medication
  • Rehabilitation
  • Specialist visits
  • Transportation to doctors
  • Lost wages and lost potential wages
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of life’s enjoyment
  • Wrongful death damages (awarded to the family of a deceased worker)

You may be owed much more than you think. Hiring a forklift accident attorney tells insurers you mean business. The threat of a potential lawsuit will force them to raise how much they’ll offer you, because they know that you have a legal professional on your side that can call out when they’re not playing by the rules.

How Do I Pay for a Forklift Accident Lawyer’s Services?

Our forklift accident lawyers work for free unless you win compensation in your case. This is called working on contingency. If you lose your case and get no compensation despite our help, you will owe us nothing.

This puts legal representation in the hands of anyone, regardless of their financial situation. Victims of forklift accidents face enormous bills and a long road of recovery. You do not need to worry about the cost of paying for a lawyer.

If we are successful and you get compensation, our fee is a percentage of the total amount you win. During your consultation, we will discuss our rates. They depend on the complexity of your case and if your case will need to go to trial in order to win.
