Who can I hold responsible for my forklift accident?

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.
