If you are hurt on the job at an Amazon warehouse or office facility, you might not know enough about your rights or the best path for your specific situation. If you are injured while doing work, you are eligible to file a claim for workers’ compensation benefits.
It is always wise for an injured or ill worker to seek representation when injured at work, you can be eligible for benefits regardless of fault.
If you get hurt in an Amazon warehouse accident, be sure to:
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION See a doctor or a physician in the emergency room as soon as possible after being in a warehouse accident. Even if you don’t feel that the injury isn’t bad or severe, you might not know the long-term effects of the injury. Insurance companies may deny any claim without a medical visit.
REPORT INJURY TO EMPLOYER To complete your workers’ compensation claim after a warehouse accident, your employer needs to know about it as soon as possible. You must notify an employer’s representative within 30 days of the accident.
MAKE SURE COWORKERS KNOW If a co-worker was present during the accident, make sure to ask them what they saw. If not, find out as soon as you can what they know.
TALK TO A WORKERS COMPENSATION LAWYER
After reporting your injury, you should talk to a lawyer who handles work accident cases. You may even choose to hire a lawyer before reporting your injury if you have reason to believe that you will need legal representation from the start. In most cases, however, you do not need legal help until you begin preparing for a claim. Remember that a claim is different than a report. You report your injury to your employer, but you file a claim with the workers compensation insurance company as soon as you need help paying your medical bills and getting mileage reimbursements from the insurer.
What can a Workers’ Compensation Claim pay for?

Amazon warehouse jobs push workers to physical limit
Amazon.com strives to be increasingly efficient to ship customers’ orders as quickly as possible from its fulfillment centers around the world. And while the company has a safety record better than most, some warehouse employees say the relentless drive to boost production wears them down and costs them their jobs.
I was injured on the job. I was stuck on the "Worker's Comp Merry Go Round" until my husband saw Jeff's commercial and suggested I call him. It was the best thing I could have ever done.
You have done great the whole time and I couldn’t be more thankful.
I love Jeff and I love the staff, Amy has been wonderful and I can’t say enough about anyone that has any issues per any cases I highly recommend seeing Jeff and the crew.
Our family is grateful for the exceptional service Powers Law Group provided us from thoughtful and experienced attorneys to resourceful, polite, and always ready to help office staff. I would recommend Powers Law Group with the utmost confidence to anyone involved in a workers compensation case. – Sarah
I got hurt back in December, 2014. I was having a hard time dealing with workers comp and I moved about a year and half after my injury. Once I was established in Macon, I found Powers Law Group that specializes in several areas. Workers compensation, was one of their specialties. I gave them a call and within a few days had my consultation, I was able to get more done in 6 months with them than had been done the whole time I was dealing with workers comp on my own. After a lot of doctor visits and testing I was finally able to find out what was wrong. I received my settlement check today and was happy with the out come. If you or someone you know needs a good lawyer they are who you need to see!!!
Thank you Powers Law Group for everything! – Melissa
It was pretty smooth going with you Jeff, I have dealt with you before and I knew what to expect this time.
Conversation with Candace M. JNP (Atty. Powers) - How was your experience with our firm this time? CM - It was pretty smooth going with you Jeff, I have dealt with you before and I knew what to expect this time.
Having spent almost 50 years as an Attorney, District Attorney, and as a Superior Court Judge gives an insight to character, appearance and what constitutes outstanding legal ability. Jeff possesses the qualities that should propel him to the highest standard of success in the future.
My husband had an on- the-job injury. We thought the claim would go smoothly without hiring an attorney; however, after the surgery, the company would not correspond with my husband.
Macon Workers Comp Lawyer Testimonial by Marcia English in Macon GA
At my first visit we discussed my case and determined Mr Powers would take my case. He outlined what would be expected. His office kept me informed of the progress and I met with them when needed. He was able to get me a resolution of my case. He and his staff were professional and very nice to work with.
