Your Rights if You’re Hurt in a Warehouse Accident

If you’re hurt in a warehouse accident in the course of your employment, you have important rights.

Here is what you should know about your rights following a warehouse accident:

  • Any employer with four or more employees in South Carolina must be covered by workers’ compensation insurance, with limited exceptions
  • You may receive benefits whether or not the employer is at fault. Workers’ compensation is a no-fault system, so employer fault is not required
  • The case begins with reporting your injury to your employer. It’s best to report in writing to your supervisor as soon as possible
  • Replacement income is available at a rate of two-thirds of your income before the accident. Weekly wages are based on the four quarters of your earnings history before the injury. A second job may be included in calculations
  • Medical care should be provided free of cost by using a care provider authorized by your employer. To have paid medical care, you must use an authorized provider, but there is a way to request a change if you are unhappy with your doctor
  • If you disagree with the medical care or compensation provided, you may request a hearing
  • There are time limits to request a hearing
  • Lost wage benefits may continue for up to 500 weeks or until you can return to work at your pre-injury wage. Unlimited benefits are possible for paralysis or permanent brain injury
  • You may have the lawyer of your choice represent you

You might be reading this thinking that you are familiar with these rights, but you’re frustrated that the insurance company isn’t providing the benefits you deserve! A warehouse accident lawyer can help.

The insurance company denying your case does not have to be the end of the story. They might say that your injuries are not from the accident. They may say that you don’t need surgery or that you’re able to work when you’re not. It can be easy to get discouraged. However, when you work with Bobby Jones Law, you have an experienced lawyer protecting your rights and challenging the insurance company.

Understanding Warehouse Accidents

Major causes of warehouse injuries are:

  • Equipment and machinery malfunction, especially forklifts
  • Lack of personal protective equipment
  • Inadequate training
  • Failing to follow safety protocol
  • Understaffing
  • Falling objects
  • Slip and falls, transient substances on the floors
  • Trip hazards, discarded objects left in the path
  • Bad lighting, vision obstructions
  • Toxic substances
  • Repetitive motion and tasks
  • Violating capacity limitations with equipment
  • Poor stacking
  • Working too quickly, not responding to signs of danger
  • Pallet collapses

Warehouses can be dangerous places. People work alongside large machines and equipment. Malfunctions, miscommunication, and a lack of resources are just some of the underlying causes of injury. The results can be tragic.

What are common warehouse accident injuries?

Common warehouse accident injuries include:

  • Brain injury, concussion
  • Fractures, broken bones
  • Bruises, cuts and lacerations
  • Sprains, strains, ligament and tendon tears
  • Loss of limb, amputation
  • Internal organ damage

The benefits you are entitled to receive are based on the medical treatment required for you to reach the maximum medical improvement. The extent to which your injuries prevent you from working, and any injuries that remain following medical treatment are factors in your financial compensation. Your earnings before the injury are a factor, too. With so many variables, having a lawyer can help you identify the important issues to maximize your compensation.
