If you were injured in a forklift accident or machinery-related incident at work that wasn’t your fault, Kearney Law can assess your case, explain your legal options, and guide you forward, with no upfront fee to get started.
A forklift or machinery accident claim is a workplace personal injury claim made when an employee is injured due to unsafe equipment, poor training, lack of supervision, or failures in workplace safety procedures.
These types of accidents often happen because:
If the accident was not your fault, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries and financial losses.
Even if symptoms seem mild at first, it is important to seek medical attention and legal advice early.
Contact us through our enquiry form, phone, or email. We’ll review your situation, answer your questions, and explain what to expect next. There’s no upfront fee to begin your claim.
Your case will be carefully reviewed by our legal team. We assess the strength of your claim, advise on the documentation needed, and guide you through key steps such as attending an independent medical examination and preparing the information required for the Injuries Resolution Board (IRB).
Once you decide to move forward, we take care of everything. This includes gathering evidence, contacting the other party or their insurer, submitting your claim to the IRB, managing settlement discussions, and handling any court proceedings if needed.
We have extensive experience handling forklift accidents, machinery malfunctions, and industrial injury claims. Our knowledge of workplace safety law ensures strong guidance and support throughout the process.

Any injury caused by a forklift or machinery accident — including crush injuries, fractures, or soft tissue injuries — may be eligible if negligence was involved.
Generally, you have two years from the date of the accident or from when you first became aware of the injury.
Claims go through the employer’s insurance. It is unlawful for employers to penalise you for exercising your legal rights.
