Common Forklift Accident Causes
Defective Forklift Equipment
From brake failures to faulty hydraulics, defective forklifts endanger workers every day. We hold manufacturers and distributors accountable when design flaws or unsafe components cause injury.
Unsafe Workplace Conditions
Employers are responsible for providing a safe environment. When lack of training, poor supervision, or missing warning systems lead to a crash or rollover, we build a strong case for your injury claim.
Operator Negligence or Inadequate Training
If an untrained or careless operator caused your injuries, we’ll investigate whether the employer properly certified and supervised them as required by OSHA.
Forklift Rollovers and Crush Injuries
Rollovers are among the deadliest forklift accidents. Whether caused by overloading, uneven floors, or faulty tires, we identify the underlying cause and pursue maximum compensation.
Don’t Let Negligence Go Unanswered
When someone’s carelessness leaves you injured, we make sure the silence ends and accountability begins.

FAQs About Forklift Injuries:
What should I do after a forklift accident at work?
Right after a forklift accident, report it to your supervisor, get medical attention, and document everything: photos, witness names, and any unsafe conditions. Then, contact a forklift injury claim lawyer to protect your rights before evidence disappears.
Who can be held responsible for a forklift injury in Texas?
Liability can fall on multiple parties, including the forklift operator, employer, manufacturer, or maintenance provider. A skilled forklift injury attorney will investigate every angle to determine who’s legally responsible for your injuries.
How much is a forklift injury claim worth?
The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, and long-term impact on your life. Your lawyer will calculate all damages to fight for maximum compensation.
Can I file a forklift injury lawsuit if I have already received workers’ compensation?
In some cases, yes. Workers’ comp may cover basic benefits, but if a manufacturer, contractor, or third party contributed to your accident, you may also have grounds for a separate forklift injury lawsuit to recover additional damages.
