Frequently Asked Questions

1. Are there time limits or restrictions on when I can make a forklift accident claim?

For forklift accident claims, there are strict time limits for lodging your claim. The time limit varies depending on your particular circumstances and you need to obtain advise from an experienced lawyer in this area. So, if you’ve been injured in a forklift accident, it’s vital that you seek legal advice as soon as possible so the opportunity to make your forklift accident claim doesn’t slip away.

2. What can I claim forklift accident compensation for?
