Amazon is poised to become one of the largest retailers in the country as well as the world, and with the number of Americans choosing online shopping compared to heading over to a brick and mortar store, the company’s profits will keep on rising in a stratospheric manner. In order to keep up with the rising demand of products ordered at Amazon, the company has resorted to hiring hundreds of thousands of individuals stationed at their “wish fulfillment centers” or warehouse who more often than not work round the clock, particularly during weekend, and holidays. Unfortunately for these workers, the conditions in these warehouses are far from safe, and reports of Amazon workers getting injured or even killed have been on the rise over the last couple of years. As an injured Amazon worker, it is important to understand that you have rights that will help you get the compensation you deserve even when your pleas to management fall under deaf ears.
