Amazon Fresh Employee Workplace Injury Lawyer

When you think about a grocery store, it sounds like a relatively safe environment. Most people visit a store or market at least once each week. However, when you are working in this setting and delivering groceries to homes, there can be many common safety hazards encountered daily, which include:

• Wet floors due to damaged water lines, clogged drains, malfunctioning plumbing fixtures, or leaking appliances
• Water, food, or other liquids spilled on the floor
• Damaged merchandise packages that allow items like rice, beans, or pet kibble to leak onto the floor
• Poorly stacked merchandise that can fall and cause injuries
• Hoses or electrical cords on the floor create trip and fall hazards
• Low-hanging tree branches or damaged landscape blocking walkways
• Damaged or loose floor coverings
• Uneven or damaged sidewalk or parking lot surfaces
• Poorly marked or unmarked steps, ramps, or transitions from one flooring surface or elevation to another
• Damage vehicles or those that are in disrepair, including poor brakes, missing seatbelts, or faulty windshield wipers, making them hazardous to drive

Unfortunately, the list of workplace accidents is long and often includes many slip and fall, trip and fall, and harm from falling object incidents and vehicle-related harm. Employees who endure these accidents often suffer many severe injuries that can include:

• Fractured or broken bones
• Soft tissue and nerve damage
• Joint dislocations and damage to the soft connective tissue of joints
• Severe lacerations and puncture wounds often involve damage to internal organs and internal bleeding
• Back, neck, and spinal cord injuries
• Head injuries that range from severe concussions or a skull fracture to more life-altering traumatic brain injuries

If you suffer any injury while working at Amazon Fresh, please seek a complete medical evaluation as quickly as possible to ensure you get the treatment needed to provide the most rapid and complete recovery. Then, contact DTLA Law Group if you face any challenges opening a worker’s compensation claim to cover the medical care and other challenges you face.

The workers compensation program was created to protect both workers and employers when there is an injury accident in the workplace. The injured employee benefits from the medical care coverage and helps with lost wages while the employer is protected from lawsuits filed by the injured worker. In the perfect world, when an employee gets hurt, they can contact their boss or employer to report the injury while on the way to get medical treatment. In most cases, the employer then notified the workers comp program to open the claim for their employee.

This simple process allows most medical care providers to directly bill workers comp to streamline the process for all involved. However, if your employer does not open the claim on your behalf, you must understand that you have only 30 days from the date of the incident to open it yourself to ensure your medical expenses will be covered by the program. If you face any issues with this process or your employer denies you access to open a claim, please get in touch with the DTLA Law Group immediately for guidance and help.

As an employee who is hurt on the job, you are entitled to the following benefits:

• Payment of all medical bills related to the workplace injuries up to $1M
• Workers comp will pay you up to 66% of your regular income if you are unable to work while you recover from your workplace injuries
• If the injuries you suffer are severe, you can receive temporary or permanent disability payments from workers comp
• If your workplace injuries prevent you from ever returning to your current job, the program offers vocational training to prepare you for a new career

Victims of an injury while at work should know that in most cases, their workers comp benefits are the only compensation they will get for their injuries and losses. The program only permits injured workers to file a civil lawsuit for added compensation when there was gross negligence on the part of the employer. For example, a safety hazard was repeatedly brought to the attention of your employer. Still, they refused to repair or eliminate it, and then you suffered an injury because of it. This could apply if an Amazon Fresh vehicle was reported as unsafe due to faulty brakes, but they were never repaired, and you suffered an accident because the brakes failed. If you feel gross negligence was a factor in your injuries, please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to book a free consultation with a skilled workers comp lawyer.

When you work with DTLA Law Group, our firm never requires any upfront legal fees or expenses to handle your claim. This simple process ensures that all victims of workplace injuries can get the expert guidance and legal services needed to secure the compensation and benefits they deserve. We understand that after suffering an injury, you are likely to face medical costs and lost wages that will add to your stress and can make it very difficult to focus on healing. So, we only get paid after the claim is resolved, and you have the money needed to cover your expenses.

Finally, if DTLA Law Group fails to deliver the compensation and benefits you need, you owe us nothing for our time and investment in your case. Please reach out to our caring staff immediately if you are facing issues opening a workers comp claim or feel that gross negligence was a cause or contributing factor in the accident injuries you sustained. Our staff can be reached around the clock to answer your questions and provide legal guidance and peace of mind. But please act swiftly to ensure that your claim is open within the required 30-day time limit to ensure you get the benefits that you deserve.
