Compensation for Forklift Accident Injuries
If you have been injured in a forklift accident you may be able to recover compensation for your economic and noneconomic damages include:
- Medical expenses and future medical expenses
- Lost income and future lost income
- Lost earning capacity
- Disability
- Disfigurement
- Physical pain and suffering
- Mental pain and suffering
- Diminished quality of life

If you were injured on the job, you may be entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits, and while Workers’ Compensation laws bar you from suing your employer if you are eligible, there is a very good chance that you can still pursue a third-party lawsuit to receive full compensation for your injuries. Our forklift injury attorneys can review the facts in your case and help you determine if you have a case.
Getting Started Right Away
Forklift accident injuries take a toll on victims and their families, and diving into a lawsuit is probably the last thing you want to think about right now, but it is very important that you get started without delay. There is a time limit for filing your lawsuit called the statute of limitations and if you wait too long you forfeit your legal right to compensation, no matter how much you deserve it.
