Forklift trucks are primarily used to move heavy or bulky items in areas where other employees are frequently in close proximity. With such large powerful machines transporting heavy loads in busy work areas it is hardly surprising that accidents can and do happen. Properly maintained forklift trucks operated in the correct manor by qualified drivers are undoubtedly a major asset to UK industry but when basic rules are broken they become a dangerous liability. At The Claim Zone we are experienced to dealing with enquiries involving forklifts and frequently come across the same problems time and time again, namely:-
Lack of training/ inadequate training given to drivers
Old or poorly maintained forklifts
Giving rides or riding on forklifts or their loads
Lack of warnings that a forklift is working in the area
Too much pressure or stress being placed on drivers so they cut corners
Narrow, crowded or cluttered work areas
Improper turning or reversing procedures
Loads are poorly stacked or too heavy
Drivers ‘showing off’ to impress colleagues
Even if you think that your forklift accident was due to another factor not covered on the list above we still want to hear from you so we can assess your case and let you know if our legal panel can help you obtain the compensation you deserve on a no win no fee basis.
