Will I be eligible to make a claim?
Although forklift trucks can be very useful pieces of equipment, they can also be extremely dangerous. A report from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) found that drivers of these vehicles are involved in almost a quarter of workplace vehicle accidents.
According to the OEA 2021 statistics,(OEA-SG-INFOG-2021-03-02) there are 34,900 serious and 61,800 non-serious injuries resulting from forklift truck accidents annually and forklift trucks are responsible for more serious accidents at work than cars and Heavy Goods Vehicles.
There are many different ways a person can be injured in a forklift truck accident. Some of the more common accidents involving forklift trucks include:
- The forklift truck colliding with a pedestrian worker/vehicle collision.
- Speeding
- Being struck by falling loads or equipment
- Coming into contact with a forklift due to the machine becoming unstable
- Colliding with another forklift truck or vehicle
- Lack of training/inadequate preventative risk assessments.
If you have received a personal injury from a forklift truck accident, it is always advisable to contact an experienced personal injury solicitor as soon as possible. It is the employer's responsibility to make sure their employees work within a safe and controlled environment, with safe equipment and are adequately trained.
What does the compensation cover?

It is also intended to help those who have suffered from physical or physiological pain such as mental distress or a general loss of enjoyment.
How much compensation will I get for a Forklift Truck Accident Claim?
The final Compensation settlement you will receive for an injury caused by an accident involving a Forklift Truck will be calculated in relation to a number of factors and of course, every case is individual in its own way. Certainly the most important item is the seriousness of your injuries and to what extent your injuries will possibly influence your ability to lead an independent life.
That being said, all injury claims are based on the evaluation of two elements to each claim:
- General Damages - to compensate for the loss of amenity, pain & suffering
- Special Damages - to compensate for financial losses or future costs incurred as a direct result of the injury
Our Accident at work Compensation Calculator will provide provisional guideline figures on how much compensation you may receive for the 'general damages' element of the final compensation award.
