Examples of Workplace Accidents
There are many different incidents that could occur in the workplace. These incidents typically will be based on the type of workplace and the job being performed. Some examples of Amazon workplace incidents include the following:
- Delivery driver incidents (any incidents that occur while the delivery driver is out making deliveries)
- Truck accidents (in the parking lots in these workplaces)
- Falling object incidents (overloaded shelves, objects that are improperly stacked, boxes stacked up too high, falling light fixtures, etc.)
- Pallet jack incidents (being hit by pallet jacks or run over by pallet jacks due to unsafe use or other unsafe practices)
- Forklift incidents (forklift load falling over, being run over by a forklift, etc.)
- Slip and fall incidents (slipping due to wet floors, leaks, spills, recently waxed/mopped floors, etc.)
- Trip and fall incidents (tripping due to potholes, broken flooring, broken concrete, potholes, defective stairs, boxes left blocking the walkway, etc.)
- Repetitive motion incidents (constant use of scanners, picking up items, bending over, reaching up, etc.)
Whether these incidents occur due to a lack of training, a lack of safety practices, a lack of maintenance, or any other reason, Amazon employees can potentially suffer a number of injuries.

Common Injuries
All of the incidents listed above can potentially lead to injuries, some of which could be devastating. Some examples of Amazon workplace injuries are listed below:
- Head injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Neck injuries
- Back injuries
- Spinal cord injuries
- Fractures
- Shoulder injuries
- Hip injuries
- Pelvic injuries
- Knee injuries
- Sprains and strains
- Crushing injuries
- Severed limbs
- Lacerations
- Scrapes and bruises
These injuries might seem to be only minor; however, they can potentially have devastating complications. Some injuries can be so severe that injured employees are unable to make a full recovery; they are left with permanent harm. Some injuries can also potentially be fatal.
Regardless of the specific harm that you or a member of your family suffered in an Amazon workplace accident, it is important that you explore the options available to you with the help of an experienced Amazon workplace injury lawsuit attorney.
Understanding Your Options after a Workplace Accident
You were injured in an Amazon workplace accident – now, what? What can you do? What are your rights? Some of the options available to you are summarized below:
You Can File For Workers’ Compensation
Employers are required to carry workers’ compensation in the case of workplace accidents and injuries. When workplace injuries occur, injured employers are required to report the injury to their employer. The employer must provide the injured employee with the necessary forms to start the process of filing for workers’ compensation. Upon receiving completed forms, the employer must send these forms to their workers’ compensation insurance to start the investigation into the work injury. If the claim is approved, injured employees could be entitled to medical pay, partial wages, disability pay, etc.
You Can Sue
Of course, you could also file a lawsuit. If you filed for workers’ compensation and your claim was wrongfully denied (or your employer did not carry enough coverage to cover the value of your claim), then you can sue. You can also sue your employer directly if the harm that you suffered was a direct result of gross negligence. Whatever the case, an experienced workplace injury attorney can help you.
It is important that you understand that you have options. You have the right to workers’ compensation after a work injury. You also have the right to sue your employer under some circumstances. For more information about the legal options that are available to you, do not hesitate to contact our experts immediately.
The Importance of Finding Representation in Spanish
Unfortunately, it can be difficult to find legal services in Spanish. If you are a Spanish speaker, this can significantly complicate things because you will not be able to access the information that you need. If you find a lawyer that will take your case, they will likely resort to using interpreting or translating services that often times do more harm than good (because of the risk of things getting lost in translation). When you find legal representation completely in Spanish, you can trust that you will always have access to all the information that you need to pursue your claim completely in your language.
