Forklifts are used in numerous work settings and construction sites
throughout Florida, primarily to move and stack extremely heavy materials.
Every year in the United States, nearly 100 workers are killed and another
20,000 are seriously injured in forklift-related incidents [BLS 1997, 1998],
with a majority of the injuries involving the lower limbs. Forklift overturns
are the leading cause of fatalities involving forklifts; they represent about 25%
of all forklift-related deaths.
Forklift accidents in Florida can cause very serious injuries. Forklift loads
must be precisely situated to avoid serious accidents. The National Institute
for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) reports that most forklift
fatalities occur when a worker is crushed by a forklift that has overturned or
fallen from a loading dock. NIOSH investigations of forklift-related deaths
indicate that many workers and employers: 1) may not be aware of the risks
of operating or working near forklifts and 2) are not following the procedures
set forth in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
standards, consensus standards, or equipment manufacturer's guidelines.
Experience and Expertise
A construction injury not covered by workers' compensation represents
costs, which most businesses don't want to pay for. That's why companies
and their insurers fight hard against these kinds of cases. Our construction
accident attorneys have the experience and resources necessary to take on
large insurance companies.
Our personal injury attorneys know how to establish a case based on
evidence and facts. With the resources and seasoned litigation skills, our
construction accident lawyers will go to trial on your behalf to obtain the
compensation you deserve for your construction accident injury.
Can I Afford a Construction Accident Attorney?
We will evaluate your case and help you identify your options. If you have a
strong case, we will pay costs associated with filing a civil lawsuit against
negligent employers, contractors and subcontractors. When your case settles
or we are victorious at trial, we recover our fees as a percentage of any
amount awarded to you. If your case is not settled in your favor, you will not
have to pay our attorney fees.
Contact our construction accident attorneys today and schedule a free
consultation to discuss your case. Whether you live in Palm Beach or
Broward County, we can assist you. Evening and weekend appointments
are available for clients unable to meet during regular working hours.
