PROTECTING INJURED WORKERS’ RIGHTS
Our Forklift Accident Services
Operator Error Cases
Inadequate training, distracted operation, or failure to follow safety procedures can lead to severe forklift injuries. Our Atlanta forklift accident attorneys review training records, site safety policies, and eyewitness accounts to prove how negligent operation caused harm.
Defective Equipment Claims
Forklifts with faulty brakes, unstable lifting mechanisms, or defective parts can cause catastrophic incidents. We work with mechanical experts across Georgia to examine the equipment, trace the defect to the manufacturer, and build a strong liability case.
Unsafe Worksite Claims
Employers and site managers must ensure that forklifts are operated in properly maintained environments. When poor site layouts, obstructed views, or lack of protective barriers contribute to accidents, our Atlanta forklift accident lawyers hold those responsible accountable.
