Forklift Accidents

A forklift accident can change your life in an instant.
Whether it happens at a warehouse, construction site, loading dock, or retail location, the injuries can be catastrophic — crushed limbs, back injuries, brain trauma, or even loss of life. Beyond the physical pain comes the emotional toll, the medical bills, and the fear of how to provide for your family.

That’s where I come in.

I don’t see you as just another “workplace injury case.” I see you as a person who’s been hurt, who needs help, and who deserves justice.

I’ve handled serious forklift accident cases — and I’ve won.

My team and I have secured millions of dollars for clients injured in workplace and industrial accidents, including those involving forklifts and heavy equipment. These cases are complex: they often involve multiple parties — employers, contractors, property owners, equipment manufacturers, and insurance carriers — each trying to shift blame and minimize what they owe you.

I know how to cut through that. I fight to uncover the truth and hold every responsible party accountable.

Who can be held responsible for a forklift accident?

You may be entitled to compensation if your injury was caused by:

Negligent operation or lack of proper training
Unsafe workplace conditions or OSHA violations
Faulty or poorly maintained equipment
Lack of proper safety guards, alarms, or warning systems
Inadequate supervision or failure to follow safety protocols

Depending on the circumstances, your case may involve both a workers’ compensation claim and a third-party negligence lawsuit. I’ll make sure every possible source of recovery is explored.

What you may be entitled to recover

Victims of forklift accidents can recover compensation for:

Medical expenses and future medical care
Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Permanent disability or disfigurement
Wrongful death (for surviving family members)

I don’t stop until my clients are made whole. Insurance companies may try to minimize your claim — I never do.

Why clients trust me

I take on a limited number of cases so I can give each client the attention they deserve.
I’ve represented injured workers, truck drivers, mechanics, construction crews, and even fellow attorneys who’ve been hurt on the job. They come to me because they know I care deeply and fight relentlessly.

When you call me, you speak directly with me. Your case won’t be lost in a large firm bureaucracy. You’ll get honesty, compassion, and relentless dedication — from the first call to the final result.

No fees unless we win

I offer a free consultation, and you pay no legal fees unless I recover money for you.

If you or a loved one has been injured in a forklift accident, don’t wait.
I’m here to help you recover physically, emotionally, and financially — and to get you back on your feet.
