Forklift Accident Expert Witness

Product Details

Why Forklift Expertise Matters

Forklifts (powered industrial trucks) are common in warehouses, distribution centers, industrial facilities, and construction sites. Incidents may involve struck-by injuries, back-overs, tip-overs, unsafe operation near loading docks, inadequate training, or poor maintenance. These cases often turn on subtle factors such as operator behavior, load visibility, and pedestrian positioning.

Our expert witness services provide insight into whether safety protocols were followed, equipment was inspected, and the operator acted within accepted standards. We translate complex evidence into clear findings for plaintiff or defense.
