Had a forklift accident, now what?

Every year, several hundred people in the Netherlands suffer a forklift accident. While at work, you may be injured as a driver or bystander. Often, a forklift accident happens in workplaces such as a warehouse or shed. A forklift accident in a warehouse may be caused by the driver not looking (back) enough, losing control or objects falling down. Entrapments are also common due to collisions, shifting loads or arms and legs not kept inboard.

The consequences of a forklift accident

The consequences of a accident with a forklift can be either temporary or permanent. It may involve a bone fracture, or concussion. But it can also result in amputations. In addition, this can also be very tough on you emotionally. The damage may be permanent and it comes with costs. Labour InjuryAdvocates will help you recover those costs from the liable party.

Forklift accident liability

The employer is obliged to do everything reasonably possible to prevent an accident. For example, forklift drivers may only be used if they are adequately trained. The forklift truck itself must be well maintained. And the workplace must be set up safely. This means having separate forklift and pedestrian zones and enough space to manoeuvre. The employer must also provide sound signals, speed limits and good sight lines.

If this is not the case, liability for the accident may lie with the employer. We understand that these are sometimes tricky situations. Our lawyers know the ropes and will help you with this.
