Get Compensated Fairly for Your Vermont Forklift Injuries

In order to clean up the damage that Hurricane Irene left behind, construction projects are underway to repair roads and buildings throughout Vermont. Many construction projects require the use of forklifts, as they are an integral part of many worksites. However, forklifts have also been known to cause crush injuries to construction workers on the job in Vermont.

Forklifts are also used in manufacturing plants, warehouses, and hardware stores, in addition to the construction jobsite. Although forklifts help get certain jobs done quickly, forklifts can do the following:

  • Crash
  • Drop their loads onto a worker below
  • Crush someone against a wall
  • Roll over on the driver

If anyone of those incidents occur on the job, the result can be serious Vermont workplace injuries or fatalities.

What causes Vermont forklift accidents at work to take place?

There are several reasons why forklift accidents occur, including negligence of the operator, lack of training, failure to comply with safety rules, faulty equipment, lack of maintenance, improper loading, and unbalanced loads. Although sometimes the operator can be found at fault for the forklift accident, negligent contractors or supervisors tend to be held responsible for forklift accidents.

Forklift injuries at work in Vermont include crush injuries, broken bones, serious back and neck injuries, head injuries, paralysis, and more. Because the extent of these injuries can last a long time, medical bills can start piling up.

Forklifts pose a real risk to those who work with or near them. If you were injured in a Vermont work accident due to a forklift, you may be entitled to earn financial compensation for your related medical costs, lost wages, physical therapy, and more.
