New York City Forklift Injury Lawyer

New York City Disabled Work Injury Attorney

Construction workers who use forklifts on a regular basis know just how dangerous they can be. In an environment that often stresses productivity over safety, accidents and injuries are likely to occur. Thousands of workers are injured in forklift accidents every year. When an accident happens to you or someone you love, you need a personal injury attorney who understands what you are going through and what you need to move forward.

The Perecman Law Firm has lawyers with over than 50 years of construction accident experience. Our lawyers have won millions of dollars in verdicts and settlements. We maintain a close knowledge of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines, as well as other relevant New York laws that can impact workers who have been injured in forklift accidents.

We can effectively handle your court case, as well as your workers' compensation claim, so that you only have to speak to one law firm about your recovery.

Catastrophic and Life-Threatening Forklift Injuries

Forklift accidents can cause serious brain, spinal cord, neck and back injuries, many of which leave victims out-of-work and disabled. In some cases, these injuries have caused life-altering conditions, such as paraplegia and quadriplegia. Our construction accident lawyers know just you serious your case is, and have the resources and staying power to go the distance for you.

We are also able to represent families in wrongful death lawsuits after fatal forklift accidents.
