Injured Working in a Delivery Warehouse (such as an Amazon Fulfillment Facility)

Injuries in delivery center warehouses, like an Amazon fulfillment facility, are becoming more and more common as the world increasingly depends on speedy home deliveries. We find that warehouse workers are at an increased risk of injury due to the physically demanding nature of the job. From lifting heavy objects to occupational repetitive overuse injuries, the number of incidents is rising as our dependency on home delivery of items increases in our ever-changing “new normal.”

We have also seen that injuries are becoming more common as delivery center warehouses implement robots to increase warehouse efficiency. These warehouses need robotic systems to meet their order fulfillment process and make same-day delivery a reality. However, the resulting increase in injury rates suggests that automation could create a more dangerous environment for the workers, despite hopes that robots would take on the most dangerous tasks. This is not always so in reality.

If you have been injured while working at a delivery warehouse, call us today for a free case evaluation. We will be your advocate to ensure you receive all of the benefits you are entitled to under the workers’ compensation law, including medical care, weekly wage replacement, and a permanency settlement.
