Mistakes After a Loading Dock Accident

We’re representing a man that was injured on a loading dock off of Marvin Griffin Road in Augusta, Georgia. He called us and asked us about his case. If you’re reading this, you may have similar questions.

We advised the client of these common mistakes you can make in a loading dock accident case, and you should avoid making these mistakes. One mistake would be to not report your accident or injuries to your employer; you should always do that. Another mistake would be to talk to an insurance company adjuster on the telephone. We always advise our clients not to talk to insurance companies. A third mistake would be not seeking medical treatment with your company doctor under workers’ comp law.

We would always advise clients that are injured on a loading dock accident to look and see if there may be other companies that are responsible for their injuries. Other companies would include trucking companies, logistic companies, forklift rental companies. See if another company caused your accident and, if so, a claim can be made against them. Lastly, it’s important to hire an attorney that has experience with loading dock accidents because they can help that client, that family, navigate through these confusing and complicated issues.

If you have any questions about your loading dock accident case, please feel free to give us a call. We’d be happy to help.
