After any forklift accident, your first priority should be to seek immediate medical treatment. Following this, if it is safe to do so, you should attempt to photograph the accident scene and surrounding area. Next, you should report the incident to HR or your supervisor, as per your employer’s protocol. Finally, it’s recommended that you consult with an experienced forklift accident lawyer to discuss your options, as the right lawyer can guide you through the workers’ compensation claims process and advise you on potential personal injury law considerations. Remember: You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and other damages, but you must act now. Otherwise, your window to recover financially may soon close forever. To keep that from happening, dial 516-342-2200 and have Schwartzapfel Lawyers fight for you!
