Forklift Injuries
Many workers operate heavy machinery as a part of their daily routine at work. Machinery that is designed to lift and carry heavy items like forklifts can help reduce the amount of time it takes to move large amounts of merchandise or material from one place to another. Unfortunately, with many types of industrial vehicles, the risk of injury to the worker is very high.
If an employee suffers injury at work, he or she may be eligible for worker’s compensation benefits from his or her employer to help pay for lost wages, medical expenses, and other costs incurred as a result of the accident. If you have suffered injury due to a work accident involving a forklift or other heavy machinery, contact the Philadelphia worker’s compensation lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130.
