Amazon Workplace Injury Attorney
Amazon is one of those places that is constantly hiring. Overall, they employ more than one million people. Although not all of these people work in California, a significant portion of them do work in the state’s many warehouses and fulfilment centers. Have you ever worked in an Amazon warehouse or fulfillment center? If so, you likely know how much the company encourages safety. However, warehouses and similar workplaces, in general, are not among the safest. This is not due to company policies, but rather the number of moving parts in these places, including but not limited to employees, products, and work equipment.

Did You Suffer a Workplace Injury?
Depending on the type of injury that you or a member of your family suffered at an Amazon warehouse or fulfillment center, you could be eligible to pursue a workers’ compensation claim. If you suffered, a slip and fall accident, trip and fall accident, falling object accident, parking lot incident, truck incident, lifting accident, repetitive motion incident, equipment/machinery incident, or cart incidents, for instance, you could be eligible to pursue a workers’ comp claim. In other words, if you suffered head injuries, brain injuries, back injuries, neck injuries, spinal cord injuries, joint injuries, or any other types of injuries, you could file a workers’ compensation claim.
General Information of Workers’ Compensation Insurance and Claims
Workers’ Compensation insurance is a type of coverage available for employers to purchase (most are required to have this coverage). It covers employee accidents, and essentially protects employers from lawsuits – as employees give up their right to sue if they collect workers benefits.
Workers’ compensation benefits typically include the following:
- Medical expenses
- Temporary or permanent disability
- Supplemental job displacement benefits
- Death benefits (only if the workplace incident was fatal)
After a workplace incident, you might be interested in learning more about your right to file a workers’ compensation claim to get these benefits. What should you do? After your workplace incident, you should report it to your employer as quickly as possible. Your employer should then provide you with the necessary information and forms that you will need to proceed. After filling in your form and returning it to your employer, the process will begin. Your employer should file the claim with their insurance provider. If your claim is approved, you should start getting your benefits soon.
What if your claim is denied? If your workers’ compensation claim is denied, you will have the option to appeal. What if your claim is denied unfairly? Unfortunately, it is possible for your employer as well as the insurance company to act against you – with the goal of denying your claim (even if it is a valid claim). They might argue that your injury was not work related, ignore deadlines, and fail to provide you with necessary information.
What Are Your Options?
If you filed a workers’ compensation claim only to find that your employer and their insurance company were resorting to cheap tricks to avoid giving you the benefits that you are entitled to, you should explore your legal options. More specifically, you should contact a lawyer with experience in workers’ compensation claims. Can you sue? If your employer and/or the insurance company is wrongfully failing to provide you with the necessary benefits, you could sue. With the assistance of a workers’ compensation lawyer, you can ensure that your injuries and your claim is taken seriously. A lawyer will help you recover the monetary compensation that you are owed.
