Warehouse & Forklift Truck Accidents

If you have suffered an accident at work, you may be able to make a personal injury claim for compensation. Call now on 0800 3213 3239 for a no obligation chat with one of our solicitors.

Work accident compensation claims usually involve a claim for compensation for injury (both physical and psychological) together with a claim for loss of earnings for the time the injured person spends off work. Other expenses such as travel costs and medical bills can also be recovered.

In the case of more serious injures there can be compensation claims for future losses also if they cannot return to their job due to the nature of the injury they have suffered or they can only work reduced hours.

The effects of such work accidents can be far reaching for the injured person and their family.

Warehouses can be dangerous environments to work in as they are often busy, noisy, dimly lit and full of people and machinery such as forklift trucks.

Accidents can be caused by machinery (either faulty or used incorrectly), dangerously packed / stacked goods or the negligence of other employees some of whom may be under the influence of drink or drugs.

The lack of training may also be a factor as can simple misunderstandings between employees as to what each other should be doing.

Most people operating machines are better protected than workers who are simply walking around the warehouse and who risk being run over or crushed.
