Celebrating Our First Pitch: Postman Law at the MN Twins Opening

Comparative Fault Explained
When you’re injured in an accident—whether it’s a car crash on the Dan Ryan Expressway in Chicago or a slip-and-fall incident at a neighborhood grocery store—one of the first questions that comes up is: “Who’s at fault?” In Illinois, answering this question often involves comparative fault (also called comparative negligence).

FAQs
A forklift accident at work involves any incident where a forklift causes injury or damage including collisions, tip-overs, falling loads, struck-by accidents, or pedestrian injuries in warehouses, construction sites, or industrial facilities.
Common causes of forklift accidents include operator error, inadequate training, speeding, overloading, poor visibility, uneven surfaces, mechanical failure, and lack of proper safety procedures.
Liability may fall on the forklift operator, employer, equipment owner, maintenance provider, or manufacturer depending on whether negligence, unsafe conditions, or defective equipment played a role.
Most employees injured in forklift accidents are eligible for workers’ compensation benefits which may cover medical expenses and lost wages, regardless of fault.
In most cases workers’ compensation prevents employees from suing their employer, but you may be able to pursue a third-party lawsuit if another company, contractor, or equipment manufacturer contributed to the accident.
A third-party claim lets an injured worker pursue compensation from someone other than their employer such as a negligent contractor, property owner, or forklift manufacturer whose actions may have contributed to the injury.
Filing deadlines for forklift accident claims vary by state. Both workers’ compensation claims and personal injury lawsuits are subject to strict time limits, so it’s important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
OSHA requires forklift operators to be properly trained and certified, and employers must maintain safe working environments and equipment.
Employers may be liable if inadequate training or supervision contributed to the accident, and OSHA violations can strengthen a personal injury claim.
According to OSHA, forklift accidents cause an estimated 75–95 fatalities each year.
