Florida Warehouse Forklift Accident Attorneys
Fork lift accidents are not uncommon in warehouses or even in chain stores and grocery stores, where they hurt shoppers and warehouse employees alike. Other frequently dangerous pieces of equipment in the warehouse are skip loaders and pallet jacks.
Although forklifts are heavy, they can fall over on uneven surfaces. Fast-moving forklifts can cause serious injury when they run into people or hit shelving units causing merchandise to fall. Proper maintenance and operator safety training is essential.
If you or a family member was injured in a warehouse accident because of defective equipment, the negligence of a contracted company, outside cleaning crew or a delivery truck, you may be able to seek financial compensation in addition to any workers comp claim you can make.

Unsure if You Have a Third Party Claim?
It's impossible to know for sure if you have a third party case until you talk with an injury attorney who is experienced at handling these types of cases. You can talk to a lawyer at Panter, Panter & Sampedro, P.A. for free so you have nothing to lose by calling.
Here are a few things you can consider if you think you may have a personal injury claim but are unsure:
- Was the person involved in causing your injuries an employee at your own firm? Simple negligence on the part of another employee is a workers' comp claim. If the other employee was a contractor, a delivery person, an outside cleaning person or maintenance person, then you may have a personal injury case.
- Were you injured by a piece of equipment? If so, was that equipment operating improperly? Were there safety features that weren't operating? Is the equipment leased and maintained by an outside company?
- If you were injured as a forklift driver, was there a seat belt in the forklift to prevent you from being ejected if it fell over?
