It depends on the circumstances of your accident and how your accident occurred. If you were on the job when the forklift accident occurred, you can seek workers’ compensation benefits from your employer's workers compensation coverage. You won’t have to prove negligence or fault in order to recover these benefits. However, if a third party played a role in causing the accident, for example, if it was a contractor that was operating the forklift negligently or if the forklift accident was a result of a fault in the forklift, you can file a third-party claim to recover compensation for your accident.
Contact our law firm to schedule a free consultation with an experienced forklift injury attorney in Philadelphia, PA, and have your case reviewed by our team. We will work to determine the underlying cause of the accident and who can be held liable. We will help you explore your options.

Yes. Workers' compensation provides benefits for job related injuries, but it does not allow recovery for pain and suffering or full wage losses. If a third party such as a subcontractor, equipment manufacturer, maintenance company, or property owner contributed to the accident, you may also pursue a separate third party injury claim. This can significantly increase the compensation available. An experienced forklift accident attorney can determine whether third party liability exists and help you pursue all available forms of recovery.
-
Forklift accidents can occur for many reasons, including lack of operator training, speeding, improper load handling, fatigued operation, mechanical failures, poor maintenance, horseplay, and inadequate communication between workers. Accidents also occur when forklifts operate in unsafe areas or aisles that are too narrow or crowded. Identifying the cause is important because it helps determine who is legally responsible. An attorney can investigate workplace conditions, maintenance records, training logs, and safety protocols to identify the underlying causes of the accident.
