Our Approach to Forklift Accident Cases & Injury Claims
Our forklift accident lawyers in Bremerton help clients through the entire process after a serious workplace injury. We carefully explain how Washington personal injury laws apply, including how comparative fault might affect your compensation if more than one party shares responsibility. Sometimes, multiple parties may be involved in a claim—such as an employer, equipment manufacturer, or property owner—so building a strong legal case depends on clear, timely documentation and a well-organized case file.
Each forklift injury case brings questions about liability, workers' compensation, and dealing with third-party claims. Often, you may need to coordinate between a Department of Labor and Industries (L&I) workers' compensation claim and a separate personal injury lawsuit against a manufacturer or subcontractor. Our background in handling local industry and union-related claims lets us anticipate legal, procedural, or workplace-specific issues unique to the Bremerton region. By clarifying these steps and providing honest feedback at every phase, we help you make informed decisions while keeping your recovery the priority.

I am very Lucky to have found Ian De Verna for my attorney. I was injured in a car accident and while Ian was working on my case I was hit by someone again. This time the person had no insurance I was injured again and my brand new car was totaled. Being injured again I was pretty scared but thankfully Ian took on this case for uninsured motorist against my insurance company as well. It was a challenge I am sure but Ian and his staff were very professional and caring the whole time. With all Ian's hard work he was able to get policy limits for both cases. Ian is not only good at his profession but truly cares about his clients and works very hard with his great group of people at Becker Franklin Rovang Injury office
