Strong Justice For Serious Injuries

Skilled Legal Support For Brooklyn Forklift Accidents

Forklifts play a crucial role in many construction and industrial environments, but their misuse or malfunction can lead to serious injuries. In Brooklyn, accidents involving forklifts often result in severe harm to workers and bystanders.

At Devon Reiff P.C., our attorneys are committed to helping victims of forklift accidents recover the compensation they are entitled to after a devastating incident. With over four decades of experience, we are workers who have been harmed in forklift accidents in Brooklyn and across New York. We can guide you through the legal process, conduct a thorough investigation and advocate for your financial recovery.

Common Causes Of Forklift Accidents

Forklift accidents can occur for many reasons, often stemming from preventable factors that compromise safety. These include:

  • Lack of proper operator training
  • Faulty equipment or poor maintenance
  • Pressure to complete tasks quickly
  • Unsafe workplace layout
  • Overloaded or unbalanced forklifts

These situations can result in serious injuries, ranging from broken bones to long-term disabilities. When safety standards are ignored, workers are left vulnerable to dangerous conditions and accidents become more likely.

Filing A Personal Injury Claim After A Forklift Accident

While workers’ compensation is an option for those injured on the job, you may also have the ability to file a personal injury claim if a third party is responsible for the accident. This could include site owners, contractors or manufacturers who failed to meet their legal obligations. In Brooklyn, you may pursue compensation for:

  • Third-party negligence
  • Violations of New York labor laws
  • Defective forklift equipment

A personal injury claim allows for the recovery of damages beyond what workers’ compensation offers, such as pain and suffering, lost wages, and medical expenses.
