Amazon Warehouse Accidents
In Oakland, one of the largest Amazon warehouses is the DSJ9 Amazon Delivery Station located at 5800 Coliseum Way. This location employs a large number of warehouse workers and is typically in operation 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. It is no coincidence that Amazon workers here seem to be at a higher-than-average risk of a workplace accident, with many of its own employees complaining of the working conditions by posting negative Google Maps reviews.
Common Amazon warehouse accidents and injuries can include:
- Falls from heights
- Overexertion and exhaustion
- Lifting injuries
- Struck by falling product accidents
- Struck by industrial vehicle accidents
- Heavy machinery accidents
- Scaffolding, ladder, and stairway accidents
- Workplace violence incidents
Amazon Delivery Driver Accidents
In addition to the many warehouse workers employed by Amazon, the corporate giant also employs many delivery drivers. The same focus on haste and hyper-efficiency that may allegedly put warehouse workers in danger can also create unsafe working conditions for Amazon drivers and couriers. With an expectation to complete as many deliveries as possible in the shortest amount of time, some drivers may feel pressured to drive while exhausted, break the speed limit, or use unsafe driving habits like multiple lane changes.
Common Amazon delivery driver accidents and injuries can include:
- Accidents with other motor vehicles
- Single-vehicle accidents like rollovers
- Lifting injuries while unloading products
- Slip and fall accidents while delivering products
- Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs)
- Vision problems from driving long hours
Workers’ Comp Benefits for Amazon Workers
California employment law requires virtually all employers operating in the state to purchase state-approved workers’ compensation insurance that covers its eligible workers. Whether you are an Amazon warehouse worker or delivery driver, or you fulfill another role within the company, it is highly likely that you are covered by workers’ compensation insurance, which should provide important benefits if you suffer a work-related injury.
Your workers’ comp benefits as an Amazon worker in Oakland likely include:
- Complete coverage of any medical bills or costs
- Wage replacement (temporary or permanent disability pay)
- Vocational retraining benefits (if you cannot return to your previous employment)
- Death benefits (if you lost a loved one in a fatal work-related accident)
Were You Told You Don’t Get Workers’ Comp?
Independent contractors are usually not covered by workers’ compensation in California. To try to save money on insurance premiums, some companies will misclassify employees as independent contractors. If you were told by Amazon that you don’t get workers’ compensation because you’re an independent contractor, don’t just take the corporation’s word for it. Come to Pacific Workers', The Lawyers for Injured Workers and let us evaluate your employment situation. Based on what we uncover, we might be able to prove that you deserve workers’ compensation benefits due to the nature of your employment.
