I hope she’s all right now. It must have been very frightening for her.

A personal injury lawsuit is probably forthcoming.

Curious as to whether the negligent fork lift operater will be discharged.

Like the rest of us, he probably has a family to support and bills to pay.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

Depending upon the heights of the forklift platform and the contents being transported, it can be difficult at times to see what is ahead of the forklift operator.

Many forklifts nowadays have a warning sound/signal similar to the ones used on trucks when backing up.
