Forklifts are used for lifting heavy loads, often in confined areas, to move material, industrial and other products, and anything else one might find in a warehouse, buildings, shopping centers, schools, medical centers, retail stores, infrastructure projects, and in many other commercial settings, such as construction sites. These forklift operating areas, often involve working in confined spaces, with narrow aisles, carrying heavy loads which are lifted high into the air. Often the forklift operation in an industrial setting, scaffolds, ladders, elevated power tools and equipment, the presence of instructions and debris, loading docks, temporary platforms, high power electrical lines can provide ample opportunities for forklift operators and others in the forklifts area to get seriously injured, causing forklift truck related serious personal injuries, and sometimes, unfortunately, even death. The New York forklift industry forklift operators and workers are required to acquire licenses, permits, and safety training, and to adhere to certain safety rules and regulations while operating forklifts, which if not properly followed, can cause forklift truck accidents. Additionally, improperly operated or maintained forklifts can cause serious personal injuries from forklift-related accidents in the workplace. Pedestrian workers and employees are most often the victims of Forklift accidents. Most forklift accidents can be prevented if OSHA requirements related to forklift ownership and operation are followed.

In New York, including the metropolitan area, if one is injured while operating a forklift, on-the-job, in the normal course of your employment, through your own actions, or those of a co-worker, you are covered by workers compensation, which your employer is required by law to provide. For example, if your employer is a warehouse company, operating a forklift, that would entitle you to workers compensation benefits, which in fact, often does not cover all your medical and other related expenses. However, if you received personal injuries from a forklift accident that was caused by the negligence or reckless behavior of someone other than your employer or co-worker, for example, if someone was working in a warehouse and the brakes on a forklift owned and operated by another contractor, was overloaded, and rolled over causing you a fractured leg, they could be liable. in a personal injury forklift accident injury case, for injuries that you sustained in your accident, and you may also be entitled to file a personal injury claim against the forklift company through what is known as a third-party-liability claim. You can file a personal injury claim for your injuries sustained in forklift accident, in addition to collecting workers compensation.
