Forklift & Heavy Machinery INJURIES

Dallas Forklift & Heavy Machinery INJURY Attorneys

When Workplace Negligence Leads to Serious Injury, We Fight for You.

Forklifts, cranes, and heavy machinery are essential on construction sites, warehouses, and industrial job sites—but they can also be deadly. When safety regulations are ignored, training is inadequate, or equipment is defective, workers pay the price with life-changing injuries or worse.

At McCallum Law, we take on complex workplace injury cases, fighting for injured workers and their families after serious forklift rollovers, crane collapses, and industrial machinery failures. Our firm knows how to hold employers, manufacturers, and third-party contractors accountable for unsafe working conditions.

Common Challenges in Forklift & Heavy Machinery INJURY Cases

 & How We Overcome Them

Workers’ Compensation vs. Third-Party Claims


While workers’ comp covers basic medical expenses and lost wages, it often fails to provide full compensation. We investigate whether a third party, contractor, or manufacturer contributed to the accident, allowing you to pursue additional damages.

Employer Negligence & OSHA Violations


Texas employers are required to follow OSHA safety standards—but many fail to provide proper training, maintenance, or protective gear. We hold companies accountable for workplace safety violations.

Proving Equipment Failure & Manufacturer Liability


Defective forklifts, cranes, and industrial machines cause devastating injuries. We work with engineers and industry experts to prove mechanical failure, design defects, or improper maintenance played a role.
