American consumerism shows no sign of slowing down, and as a result, the ecommerce sector is booming like never before. This is enhanced by the fact that we have devices in the palm of our hands that can access the internet in lightning speed, helping us look for millions of products in a fraction of a minute as well as place orders in the snap of a finger, from the comfort of our homes or offices.

Amazon has emerged the winner when it comes to online shopping, and customers prefer this e-commerce giant due to its low prices, the exceptional customer service and the ability to expedite shipping by up to 24 hours in some cases. Amazon workers therefore have a challenging task ahead of them as they have to ensure that the items ordered for are available at the Amazon warehouses, package them up for shipping as well as ensure that the logistics pipeline does not drop the ball in any way, shape or form.

Many Amazon warehouse workers describe the work environment as being tense and back-breaking, with no possibility for bathroom breaks as well as a culture of callous leadership where you are expected to work superhuman hours. It is no surprise therefore that we often hear news reports of Amazon workers collapsing out of exhaustion and even sustaining life-changing injuries due to the inhospitable work environment they are forced to endure. In a shocking statistic released recently, it was estimated that up to 41 percent of all Amazon warehouse workers had suffered some form of work-related injury, with most of these individuals citing musculoskeletal injuries as being the most common type.

Given the fact that most of these workers are often afraid of being let go of and starting all over again, the possibility exists that this percentage could be much higher. While workers’ compensation exists for individuals in the labor market, this plan often is insufficiently compensated, leaving workers struggling to pay for rehabilitation, home care, future treatments and surgeries and so on. It is because of this that injured Amazon workers reach out to an experienced injury law firm in order to secure comprehensive compensation, something we’d be glad to help facilitate on your behalf.

Risks Associated with Working as an Amazon Warehouse Worker

Amazon warehouses are colloquially known as fulfillment centers and they process a high volume or orders on a daily basis. Due to the physically demanding nature of the work where workers often lift heavy packages, apply stickers and move the packages on to conveyor belts as well as use different heavy machinery, the risk of injury is higher than in most workplaces.

The repetitive movements they have to perform such as lifting, twisting and bending may lead to musculoskeletal issues over time. In addition, the fast-paced environment where workers are closely monitored for performance and efficiency makes it more likely for workers to suffer fatigue and consequently make cognitive mistakes leading to injury.

Common Injuries Sustained by Amazon Workers

1. Musculoskeletal injuries due to repetitive motions, awkward postures and heavy lifting. The disorders range from lower back pain to carpal tunnel syndrome to sprains and tendonitis
2. Falls due to slippery or cluttered aisles and floors, as well as uneven flooring that hasn’t been properly maintained for years in the interest of boosting productivity. Falls often lead to head trauma, fractures and lacerations, to name a few
3. Crush injuries due to working with heavy machinery such as forklifts may result due to being struck by moving equipment or if heavy items become dislodged and fall off workers
4. Handling sharp objects such as packaging materials and box cutters may lead to cuts and lacerations that may cause uncontrollable bleeding, leading to the need for urgent medical care.
