Can a staffing agency or temp worker company be held liable for my forklift injury in Georgia?

Yes. If a staffing agency placed an inadequately trained, screened, or supervised worker who then operated a forklift and injured you, the staffing agency may be liable as a negligent employer or contractor. Georgia courts analyze the degree of control each entity exercises over the worker to determine liability. Many large warehouse operators use staffing agencies precisely because they believe it shields them from liability — but an experienced attorney can pierce that defense.
