A: Marine terminal and dock workers who are injured on the job can file a workers’ compensation claim to receive medical benefits and lost wages. However, there may be claims in addition to or on top of, the workers’ compensation claim.
The following are some examples of claims made against other parties in a NJ forklift-terminal accident case:
- forklift operating companies for negligent training of forklift operators,
- forklift service companies for negligent repair/maintenance,
- forklift manufacturers for product liability, or
- terminals for negligent operation.
The benefit of these kinds of claims is that the injured worker can obtain compensation for lost wages, medical bills, pain and suffering, etc. It is crucial to have the case evaluated properly to determine liability of all parties.
