Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long do I have to start a forklift truck accident claim?

You usually have three years from the date of the accident to start a claim. Acting sooner can make it easier to gather the evidence needed to support your case.

 

Can I still make a claim if I was partly responsible?

Yes. Even if you share some responsibility, you may still receive compensation, though the amount may be less.

 

Do I need evidence to support my forklift claims?

Yes. Medical records, witness statements, accident reports, and photos of the scene will strengthen your accident compensation claim.

 

Can I file a PPE claim if I am still employed?

Yes, you can claim against your employer while continuing to work for them. It’s illegal for employers to retaliate against you for seeking compensation for a workplace injury.

 

How much compensation could I receive for an inadequate PPE claim?

The compensation amount depends on the severity of your injury, its impact on your life, and the level of employer negligence involved. While exact amounts vary, your solicitor can provide a reasonable estimate based on similar cases.
