Pallet Jacks and Potential Incidents
Pallet jacks, which are also known as hand pallet jacks, are one of the most common tools or equipment found in the workplace – especially in warehouse settings. They allow people to move heavy material or large quantities of material (or products) at one time. Before using pallet jacks in the workplace, people typically need to have some training (which is usually very minor). Even if employees are properly trained, incidents can occur. Incidents can occur for a number of reasons, including defects present in the pallet jacks, the carelessness of bystanders, or the carelessness of the user, for instance.
Regardless of the specific cause of the incident, a number of injuries could occur. Some examples of the injuries that could occur could include the following:
- Crushed feet
- Broken foot
- Broken ankle
- Sprained foot
- Sprained ankle
- Toe injuries
- Crushing injuries
- Suffocation
- Lacerations
Regardless of the specific type of incident suffered and the injuries resulting from the incident, you might have grounds to pursue an injury claim. If you are interested in exploring your right to pursue a claim, you should seek legal assistance with the experts at our firm immediately.

Understanding Liability
Who is liable for the harm that you or a member of your family suffered in a warehouse incident involving a pallet jack? The answer to this question depends strictly on the details surrounding the incident. For instance, if the incident was associated with a defective pallet jack, the manufacturer could be liable. However, if the incident was associated with the negligence of the employer, the employer could be liable.
Both manufacturers and employers have a duty of care. Product manufacturers, specifically, have a duty to keep their products free of any hazards that could lead to incidents. Employers, similarly, have a duty to ensure that their employees are fully trained to use all tools or equipment in the workplace; they must also ensure that their tools/equipment are completely safe to use. In general, employers have a duty to ensure that the entire workplace remains safe for employees. If there is a breached duty of care, an incident could occur. The incident could directly lead to harm. When an individual is harmed as a direct result of a breached duty of care, the party or entity (be it the manufacturer or the employer) could be liable.
