Amazon workers are at risk for repetitive stress injuries (RSIs), which can cause pain, inflammation, and damage to the muscles and tendons. Amazon needs to do more to prevent RSIs, such as providing ergonomic equipment, offering training on how to avoid repetitive motions, and providing breaks throughout the workday.

So, what is Wrong with Work Related Injuries at Amazon Warehouses and Worker Comp Claims?
The major problem with work related injuries is the use of temporary workers contracted through third party providers. This allows the companies to skirt two major issues: work related injuries and their responsibility and employee retirement benefits.
The problem exists with all large employers in many different industries. However, for this article, we will focus on Amazon as an illustration on workers’ comp and national trends.
So, Why Is It So Difficult for Amazon Employees to Receive Appropriate Medical Treatment and Monetary Compensation for Work Related Injuries?
![Amazon and Work Related Injuries](https://workers-comp-lawyer.us/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2022/12/Amazon-Serious-Work-Injury-chart.png)
To skirt legal liability, Amazon and other mega-retailers hire most warehouse employees through temporary employment recruiters. This makes filing of claims for workers’ compensation benefits hard because Amazon transfers the legal responsibility onto those temporary workforce agencies. This strategy erects roadblocks and hurdles for warehouse workers to receive timely and appropriate medical treatment and delay any monetary compensation.
What Is The Most Common Injury At Amazon?
Most of the injuries at Amazon warehouses are related to musculoskeletal injuries. This is approximated at about 40% of work-related injuries in the company warehouses, impacting millions of people in the US.
Does Amazon Cover Work Related Injury?
Technically, yes. For employees in Amazon’s corporate benefits, those working more than 30 hours per week are eligible for both short-term and long-term work related injury coverage. However, this does not cover most of the Amazon warehouse workers if they were hired through the temporary workforce / seasonal help agencies.
How many Amazon Warehouse Workers get Injured each Year?
Amazon warehouse workers are likely to suffer serious work injuries when compared with the workers at other warehouse companies. Amazon reported a staggering 6.8 serious injuries for every 100 Amazon warehouse workers in 2021.
What Are Most Common Injuries At Amazon Warehouses?
Amazon warehouses are regimented and work like machines, intense and fast-paced tight performance. The most commonly reported injuries include:
- Repetitive motion injuries
- Sprains
- Slip, trip and falls
- Back injuries
- Leg injuries
- Ladder injuries
- Forklift injuries
- Transportation injuries
How Does Amazon Make Filing Workers’ Comp Claims Difficult?
When a worker gets injured, getting urgent medical care immediately is critical for injured worker and the workers’ comp claims process. Amazon is known to make it difficult for workers to do so. Here are some ways:
- It is expected for workers to finish their work shifts before they can leave for medical care. And thus with this delay in getting medical attention, Amazon / workforce agency can downplay the seriousness of worker’s injuries. They claim that if the injuries were not serious because the worker waited to seek medical attention until after their shift ended
- They delay the processing of workers’ compensation claim forms
- Send workers to Amazon’s urgent care clinics, often found onsite at its warehouse locations, or nearby. These clinics provide urgent and necessary medical attention but withhold any information that might help file workers’ compensation claims. In many cases, they do not recommend light duty and even send the workers back to work after being treated for injury
- Getting evaluated by doctors paid for by Amazon, injured workers work in an ecosystem that prioritizes on getting back to work
- The complex HR workflow requires injured worker to be in constant communication with Amazon to ensure that their case does not get lost or delayed.

Amazon Must Take Action to Protect Workers from RSIs
If you are an Amazon worker and you are experiencing pain, numbness, or tingling in your hands or arms, it is important to see a doctor. A doctor can diagnose RSIs and recommend treatment options.
There are a number of things that Amazon can do to help prevent RSIs, including:
- Providing ergonomic equipment, such as keyboards and mouse pads, that can help reduce stress on the muscles and tendons.
- Offering training on how to avoid repetitive motions and how to use proper lifting techniques.
- Providing breaks throughout the workday to allow workers to rest their muscles and tendons.
- Monitoring workers for signs of RSIs and providing treatment if necessary.
By taking these steps, Amazon can help to reduce the risk of RSIs among its workers.
