Claims Against Amazon

Do you work in a warehouse or are you an ex-employee who has suffered a warehouse accident? If you have been injured due to an accident that wasn’t your fault, you could be entitled to claim personal injury compensation.

It doesn’t matter whether you were directly employed by a warehouse or were working as a contractor for an agency. If your injuries were caused by working conditions and failings in health and safety by the warehouse company or negligence on their part, then you could be eligible to claim personal injury compensation.

Amazon Warehouse Accident Claims

As an employer, warehouses have a duty of care towards all its staff, whether directly employed, agency workers or privately hired contractors. This means that they have to provide a safe and suitable working environment. If they fail to follow health and safety procedures and this causes an accident, they could be held legally liable for any injuries sustained and may have to pay compensation

AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION IN CLAIMS AGAINST AMAZON

All personal injury cases are unique and so the amount of compensation that is awarded in each case is also unique. The amount of compensation that is awarded is determined by looking at two distinct factors – general damages and special damages.

GENERAL DAMAGES

The pain and suffering that your injuries have caused is the main factor that is used to determine how much compensation you are owed.

SPECIAL DAMAGES

However, compensation also takes into account any financial losses that you might have suffered as a result of your injuries, such as a loss of earnings due to being unable to return to work.

Except for children, there is a three-year time limit on making a personal injury claim. This time limit begins from the date that the accident occurred. You should contact a personal injury solicitor as soon as possible to assess your case.
