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 are rising as our dependency on home delivery of items increases in our ever-changing “new normal.”
We have also seen that as delivery center warehouses start to implement robots to increase warehouse efficiency, injuries are becoming more common. These warehouses need the 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 actually be creating 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 make sure that you receive all of the benefits that you are entitled to under the workers’ compensation law including medical care, weekly wage replacement and a permanency settlement.
