Dallas Forklift Accident Lawyer
Plano Loading Dock Injury Attorney
A forklift is heavy, fast and dangerous, capable of running people over and knocking heavy stacks of materials to the ground. It is the responsibility of the forklift driver to use caution and to pay attention when operating the forklift. Yet inattention is the primary cause of most forklift accidents in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, printing operations, construction sites, and roadwork operations.
If you were hurt or your loved one was killed in an accident involving a forklift, it's important to investigate the cause of the accident so that you can recover money for your damages and losses.

Because of its size and shape, a forklift is prone to falling over on uneven surfaces. Because of its speed, a forklift can quickly collide with people and property. For example, knocking over merchandise or hitting scaffolding. Proper maintenance, safety features in good working order and operator safety training are essential.
Our injury attorneys have handled forklift cases in which employees or others on the job site were run down by fast-moving forklifts that were being operated negligently. We've handled cases for employees who suffered head injuries after being struck by falling merchandise when a forklift backed into a stack of pallets.
We've also represented forklift operators who were hurt on the loading dock when the dock or warehouse owner failed to set up protocols for the work area, creating dangerous conditions for all employees. In one case we handled, the forklift fell from the back of a truck when the truck driver left the dock prematurely.
If you or a loved one was injured on the job site, don't assume it was your fault or that you are limited to workers' compensation. Talk with a lawyer about your case to see if you may have a third-party forklift accident injury claim. Contact the law office of Crain ◊ Lewis, LLP for a free consultation.
