Forklift Accident Law

Forklifts can create a dangerous working environment for construction workers.  Improperly maintained forklifts, excessive loads and visual obstructions can lead to turnovers or collisions with workers on the ground.  Often, these forklift accidents can result in serious injuries, including brain injuries, fractures and damage to internal organs.  Construction workers who are injured in forklift accidents can obtain benefits under New York State’s Worker’s Compensation Law.  However, in certain situations the injured construction worker can be entitled to additional monetary damages.  If you or a loved one have been injured in a forklift accident, call us today at (212)736-5300.  That’s (212)736-5300.  Our trial team has successfully handled numerous construction accident cases and we look forward to discussing your claim with you.
