Get startedNo matter how you‘ve been injured, there’s no cost to speak to one of our forklift accident lawyers and find out how much you can claim.
Forklift accident injuries usually happen in the workplace, and most forklifts don’t have CTP insurance. So claims are generally assessed under the CTP insurance scheme rules, but compensation is paid by the workers compensation insurer. Workers injured in forklift accidents may also be able to claim lump sum payments such as:
Lost wages | A lump sum for past and future lost wages under the CTP scheme. |
Pain and suffering | A lump sum for pain and suffering under the CTP scheme. |
Permanent impairment | A lump sum for permanent impairment under the workers compensation scheme. |
Employer negligence | A lump sum for damages if your employer caused your accident through negligence. |
Third party negligence | A lump sum for damages if a third party caused your accident through negligence. |
Total Permanent Disability (TPD) |
A lump sum for TPD if you’re unable to return to work because of your injuries. |

You can lodge your own compensation claims without using a lawyer. However, forklift accident claims can be particularly complex, and it’s important to understand that if you leave out important details in your applications, or if your certificate of fitness isn’t completed correctly, it’s likely you’ll miss out on benefits you’re entitled to. Our forklift accident injury lawyers can advise you on how to make sure you claim everything you’re entitled to, and we’ll provide free advice over the phone.
We can also provide advice on whether you’re entitled to an additional lump sum for Work Injury Damages, or a TPD payout through your super fund.
We work on a no win no fee, no disbursements basis, so you’ll only need to pay us if we win, and you receive your forklift injury compensation. In many cases we can also get the insurer that’s paying your compensation to cover your legal fees, so there’s nothing for you to pay.
