What types of compensation can I claim for a forklift accident injury in NSW?

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.

If you’ve been injured in a forklift accident, it’s important to get legal advice to make sure you receive your full compensation entitlements. You can call 0292644474 for free advice from a forklift injury lawyer.


Forklift accident lawyer FAQs.

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.

I have been very fortunate to have picked a team which shows professionalism and caring about a very personal matter giving always there time even out of the working hours to care about someone and show that it’s more than just a matter.

They have made my problem much more easier to deal with and have shown me the respect in continuous follow-ups to make me understand and deal with this matter in a much easier way without Angy and Chantille it would be very hard road to take. Thank you for caring and thank you for making me feel important in such a hard situation.

I highly recommend Law Partners because this law firm is the best of what they do. I am grateful and blessed to have found such a compassionate, helpful, attentive, reliable, timely and kind lawyers in this firm. Shifa and her team were very thorough, competent, efficient, and listens to understand. Shifa made my life better as she is able to expedite everything from the time she took my case & settled it in less than 2 months because she understand the kind of personality I have as a person & in my professional career whereas I always want everything done efficiently in the quickest time possible without leaving any stones unturned. She responds to my emails almost a few minutes after receiving it, she kept me informed & she made sure we are always on the same page. I may not get my life back pre-injury but she worked hard behind the scene to ensure I am well compensated. It’s quite rare to find lawyers nowadays that got your back 100% without much incentives. I involved Law Partners in mid August and have my case settled in mid October which is a testament to their efficiency & commitment to their clients! I can’t thank Shifa enough & her paralegal Xanthe for everything they did for me. Forever grateful!

​Thank you for the final paperwork and the transfer of funds into my account. After my car accident I was advised by my grandson’s girlfriend who is a solicitor, to get the services of a compensation law firm. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending your company to anyone who might need a law firm in the future.

Car accidents are a minefield with insurance companies, I really recommend these people, and am grateful I chose Roger as my solicitor. Law Partners also have the best information on the internet. I chose Roger out of many firms I spoke with. You will see why once you meet.

I was reluctant at first to put a claim in but I contacted Law Partners and was called back by Elyse to have a chat. From that moment on, Elyse, Brooke & Sarah have been brilliant. They have answered all my questions straight away, explained everything in detail, given me all the different options available and in the end, resolved my matter with a positive outcome. It has been a very pleasant experience working with them and I would gladly recommend Law Partners, Elyse and her team. Thank you!
