How We Prove Liability

Workplace vehicle accidents often involve negligent operation by coworkers, creating potential third party claims when the vehicle operator works for a different employer. Employers must ensure that only trained and certified operators use powered industrial trucks, and failure to enforce this requirement establishes negligence. When the vehicle itself has a defect, such as faulty brakes or a malfunctioning backup alarm, the manufacturer becomes an additional liable party.

Texas Legal Framework

OSHA powered industrial truck standards under 29 CFR 1910.178 require formal operator training and certification, and violations of these requirements support negligence claims in Texas. Texas Labor Code Section 406.033 allows injured workers at nonsubscriber employers to sue directly for negligence without the defenses normally available to employers. Third party claims against the vehicle manufacturer or a coworker employer are preserved under Texas Labor Code Chapter 417.

Frequently Asked Questions

At Medina & Medina, we work on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay nothing upfront and no fees unless we win your case. Our fee is a percentage of your recovery.

In Texas, you generally have two years from the date of your injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are exceptions that may shorten or extend this deadline, so it’s important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and in some cases, punitive damages. The amount depends on the specific circumstances of your case.

While you’re not required to have a lawyer, having experienced legal representation typically results in higher settlements. Insurance companies have teams of lawyers working for them, and you deserve someone advocating for your interests too.

Compensation depends on the severity of your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and impact on your life. Contact Medina & Medina for a free evaluation of your case.

Helpful evidence includes police reports, medical records, photos of the scene, witness statements, and insurance information. Our team will help you gather all necessary documentation.
