Michigan forklift accident lawyers handle construction accident cases involving heavy machinery, like forklifts. Forklifts, also known as powered industrial trucks, are used in numerous work settings, primarily to move materials.
Each year in the United States, construction and warehouse workers are killed and are seriously injured in forklift-related incidents Forklift overturns are the leading cause of fatalities involving forklifts; they represent about 25% of all forklift-related deaths. National fatality data indicate that the three most common forklift-related fatalities involve forklift overturns, workers on foot being struck by forklifts, and workers falling from forklifts.
These accidents often occur in the factory environment and actions of the operator can all contribute to fatal incidents involving forklifts.
