Types of forklift accidents

Forklifts can cause many different injuries as a result of accidents. The common forklift accidents include the following:

• Being run over by forklifts;
• Crushing injuries when you are trapped between the forklift and shelving or other items in the factory or warehouse;
• Faulty brakes causing the forklift to crash;
• Items dropping from the forklift or whole pallets falling off causing crushing injuries.

Whatever the nature of your forklift accident, you can be confident that Loyalty Law will put you in touch with a specialist solicitor to take care of all of your needs.

Your injury claim

Whatever the nature of your injuries you will be fully assessed by a medical expert and provided with the appropriate medical treatment. If your solicitor can prove that your employer was at fault for your accident then you will be entitled to claim compensation for the pain and suffering that you have experienced as a result of the accident. This is called your claim for your general damages and is often the most significant part of the claim. However, in addition to this amount you can also claim for your losses and expenses as detailed below.

Your losses and expenses

You will be able to claim compensation for all of your losses and expenses which may include the following items :

• Any lost earnings as a result of the accident;
• Lost overtime;
• Medical expenses;
• Private medical treatment;
• Additional transport costs;
• All other expenses incurred as a direct result of the accident.

Our service for you

If you are using a solicitor for the first time, or have not used a solicitor for a long time, how do you know which solicitor is going to provide you with the best service? Whilst everyone can assume that they all have a basic level of legal knowledge that means they should be able to help you with your forklift accident claim, how can you be confident that they really are the right solicitor to help you with your injury claim?

With Loyalty Law, you do not need to worry. We have carried out the pre-approval and ensured that not only are the Loyalty Law solicitors efficient and confident in their specialist areas of law, but they also provide a friendly and helpful service.

The cost of our service to you

The cost of our service for you is completely free of charge. Our solicitor members see us as a finding tool to help them locate excellent new clients just like you. Therefore, they pay a membership fee to be a part of Loyalty Law. However, that membership fee is not passed on to you in any way, shape or form and does not deteriorate from the level of customer service that you can expect. If a solicitor does not constantly meet the high levels of customer service that our customers demand and deserve they will be removed from the Loyalty Law scheme.

In addition to Loyalty Law not making a charge for our connection service for a specialist solicitor, our solicitors also do not make a charge to you for their assistance. With accident claims in England and Wales, your solicitor will recover their fees and costs in addition to the amount that you will be awarded for compensation for your injuries. This ensures that you can be fully confident in contacting Loyalty Law.

Why choose Loyalty Law for your Forklift Accident Claim?

All Loyalty Law solicitors are checked and vetted to ensure that they meet our criteria in the following ways :-

• Before they can start working with us and for you, they are individually interviewed by our managing director, a solicitor himself (although no longer practising). He is quickly able to assess whether they have the legal skills, but also whether they are easy to speak with on the telephone and will give you the confidence to believe in the service that you deserve.
• At the end of every legal matter that a Loyalty Law solicitor handles for one of our clients, we carry out an interview with the client to ensure that they have been completely satisfied with the service. This ensures that not only does the solicitor start off by providing an excellent service when he joins us, but through your feedback they continue to achieve the right service levels and continue to make you happy. This is important to us and is one of the reasons why we believe Loyalty Law is the right place for you to choose your solicitor.
