Forklift Truck Accident Compensation

Forklift trucks pose a great risk to the workers

Statistics show that every year there are around 2000 accidents involving forklift trucks.

Employers must ensure that all forklift truck drivers are adequately trained to operate the vehicles. Sadly this is not always the case. Forklift trucks can cause severe foot injuries, crushing injuries, whiplash & neck injuries.

Main causes of accidents and injuries with forklift trucks:

Inadequate training. Employers have a duty to ensure that all drivers hold a license to drive the vehicles.
Poor maintenance creates risks to the driver and other workers in the surrounding area.
Dangerous and unsafe working environment. For example, obstructions, cramped workspaces, lack of warning devices, heavy traffic.
