Why Do Warehouse Accidents Occur?

Warehouse accidents have several common causes, including:

Lack of personal protective equipment; it is not provided or not used
Inadequate signs directing movement
Anti-slip materials, slippery surfaces, failing to warn workers of hazards
Disregarding equipment capacity loads
Failing to stop processes when dangers arise
Overexertion, repetitive stress injuries
Rushing, understaffing
Poor storage and packaging of items
Forklift malfunctions, failing to secure loads during transportation
Fire, inadequate fire safety, not having proper fire extinguishers
Objects left in the path that create trip and fall hazards
Poor equipment maintenance and repair
Machine entanglement, stuck under, stuck between dangers
Pallet collapse
Electrical malfunctions
Toxic chemical exposure

There are many different sources of danger in a warehouse. For a worker, any single error may cause serious injury. Something that may have gone well many times may produce an injury in a split second.

Workers’ compensation does not depend on proving that the employer is at fault. The workers’ compensation system is a no-fault benefit system that compensates the employee without having to prove employer negligence.

Workers’ Compensation for Warehouse Accident Victims

Workers’ compensation may be available if you have been injured in a warehouse accident. The benefits you receive may cover your medical care, replace a percentage of your income, and compensate you for permanent disability resulting from your injuries.

An accident victim is eligible for this compensation through the Georgia workers’ compensation system from their first day of employment. To receive compensation, the worker must take the proper steps to notify the employer of the injury and request their benefits.

Most Common Warehouse Injuries

Common warehouse injuries include:

Brain damage
Internal organ damage
Back strain
Broken bones
Respiratory distress
Burns
Repetitive stress injuries
Spinal cord damage and paralysis

Workers’ compensation should include medical care with no cost to the victim – including no co-pays or insurance. The injured worker must choose from authorized providers to receive their treatment.

In warehouse accidents, injuries are often serious. Large objects are often involved in daily work. Equipment and machinery can cause serious damage. Our lawyers ensure that you get compensated fairly for your losses and harms.

Does the employer have to be at fault for the worker to receive benefits?
