Possibly. Forklift accidents can cause severe injuries, including fractures, crush injuries, head trauma, spinal injuries, and injuries requiring surgery.
Important questions may include whether the forklift operator was properly trained, whether the equipment was maintained, whether pedestrians and equipment had clearly designated travel areas, and whether unsafe loading or workplace procedures contributed to the accident.
In some situations, a forklift accident may also involve a third party, such as an equipment maintenance company, contractor, or manufacturer. Determining who controlled the equipment and workplace conditions can therefore be an important part of the investigation.
