Seeking Full & Fair Compensation for Forklift Accident Victims

Many forklift accidents involve parties other than a direct employer. We can investigate every angle of a crash to identify third-party negligence. This often includes holding equipment manufacturers accountable for defective brakes or steering, suing outside maintenance companies that failed to service the machinery, or pursuing claims against general contractors who created unsafe premises. We can meticulously analyze maintenance logs, site safety protocols, and product design specifications to prove fault. Our personal injury attorneys have over 200 years of collective experience and can pursue maximum compensation from those responsible for your suffering.

Our firm is known for taking on and winning the complex, high-profile cases that other lawyers might shy away from. We are aggressive litigators who excel in front of a judge and jury, which is why we prepare every case for trial. Our team is also selective, choosing only the most serious cases so that we can deliver large-firm power with small-firm care. 

With over $10 billion recovered in verdicts and settlements, we understand what it takes to win. We’ve also paid out hundreds of millions in referral fees to co-counsel. You owe our firm nothing unless we help you recover compensation. 

How Long Do I Have to File a Forklift Accident Lawsuit in Texas?

In Texas, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims generally grants you two years from the date of the forklift accident to file a lawsuit. You will be unable to pursue your case or recover any compensation if you miss this deadline. 

While this may seem like ample time, we urge you to reach out to discuss your legal options immediately. Building a successful case against negligent manufacturers, maintenance contractors, or property owners requires evidence that often disappears within days of an incident. After all, construction sites, industrial worksites, and workplaces tend to change rapidly. Companies may repair defective machinery, overwrite surveillance footage, or reassign key witnesses shortly after an incident. 

We must act fast to send spoliation letters that legally forbid the destruction of this potentially critical proof. By retaining our firm early, you give us the opportunity to deploy accident reconstruction experts to the scene and secure the evidence and testimony needed to build the strongest possible case.

What Types of Compensation Can I Recover in a Forklift Accident Case?

When we represent you, we demand just compensation that accounts for the full lifetime impact of your injuries. Our attorneys can calculate all economic losses, including expenses for emergency treatment, surgeries, ongoing rehabilitation, and long-term nursing care. We can also rigorously calculate the value of the wages you lost during recovery and the permanent reduction in your earning capacity if you cannot return to your previous role. 

Beyond these direct financial consequences, we can also fight for non-economic damages to compensate you for physical pain, mental anguish, disfigurement, and loss of enjoyment of life. In cases where a defendant demonstrated gross negligence, we can pursue exemplary damages to punish the wrongdoer and set a standard for safety.
