Forklift accidents can be dangerous for all of those involved, posing a serious risk on a daily basis to those on-the-job in the state of Florida. Almost 35,000 people are seriously injured in forklift accidents each year across the country.
The causes of
Florida forklift accidents can include improper loading, negligent operation, lack of safety training, faulty equipment and much more. A negligent supervisor or company is often at the root of these causes.
From falling off the platform to being crushed in a rollover accident, forklift accidents can result in a wide range of injuries:
- Broken bones
- Paralysis
- Back injuries
- Neck injuries
- Head injuries
- Death
As anyone who has been injured in this type of
work accident can tell you, the costs from these injuries add up. You can start with the medical bills, but there is also ongoing care and physical therapy, home renovations and permanent losses, not to mention missed time at work and very real instances of pain and suffering.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a forklift accident that was not your fault, do not settle for whatever payments you are offered. We strongly urge you to at least examine the possibility of a personal injury lawsuit to recover the full amount of compensation you deserve.
