Forklift Accident Claims Made Simple
Forklifts are powerful machines, and they’re common in warehouses, factories, and construction sites. But when safety rules aren’t followed, forklift accidents can cause serious injuries.
If you’ve been hurt in a forklift accident at work, you may be entitled to make a forklift accident claim. At Claims 24 Hours, we’re here to guide you with clear advice, kind support, and our No Win No Fee promise.
When Can You Make a Forklift Accident Claim?
You may have a valid claim if your accident happened because of:
- Poor training or lack of supervision
- Faulty or badly maintained forklifts
- Unsafe working conditions or poor site management
- Overloaded or incorrectly loaded forklifts
- Negligence by another forklift driver

If the accident wasn’t your fault, your employer or another party may be responsible.
