Chicago Workers’ Compensation Lawyers for Injured FedEx Workers

Item: Briskman Briskman & Greenberg
Author: Briskman Briskman Greenberg

FedEx has a worldwide network of express, ground, air and freight delivery services. The shipping logistics company has more than 475,000 employees who work across hundreds of departments as package sorters, dockworkers, delivery drivers, driver assistants and other types of workers.

FedEx workers are required to function in a deadline-oriented environment in order to ensure fast and convenient deliveries of envelopes, packages and other goods to global destinations. For example, FedEx dockworkers use equipment such as forklifts and pallet jacks to perform freight handling tasks each day. Pushing, pulling and lifting large packages at a demanding pace is no easy task.

In light of the intense nature of their job duties, FedEx employees can be involved in accidents that leave them injured and unable to work. If you were hurt while working for FedEx, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits to pay for your medical treatment, lost wages and other work injury-related costs.

Contact the Chicago workers’ compensation lawyers at Briskman Briskman & Greenberg to learn more about your legal rights after a work injury. We are here to provide skilled representation to injured FedEx workers.

Common FedEx Work Injuries

There are many different types of workplace accidents that can occur, depending on your role as a FedEx employee. Positions within the company span a variety of fields, each with their own inherent risks. Workers’ compensation covers both acute and chronic injuries, including those that occur suddenly and conditions that are the result of repetitive movements over time.

Here are some examples of on-the-job accidents and injuries that FedEx workers may experience:

Slipping and falling on a wet floor.
Suffering a back injury while lifting heavy, oversized packages.
Working in a dock environment with loud noises, exposure to fumes and poor weather conditions.
Getting hit by a distracted motorist while driving along a scheduled route or stopping to make deliveries.
Unknowingly transporting dangerous chemicals with a risk of explosions or chemical burns.
Falling from ladders or the back of a trailer.
Getting hurt due to safety issues with machinery or defective equipment.

Regardless of your position at FedEx or the type of workplace injury you suffered, on-the-job injuries may entitle you to workers’ compensation benefits.

What Does Workers’ Compensation Cover?

Workers’ compensation benefits take care of your medical bills and cover a portion of your lost wages while you recover from your injuries. Severe injuries may require months of recovery that involves surgery, ongoing medical care and physical therapy. They can leave you unable to work due to pain and doctor-ordered restrictions. Depending on the nature of your injuries, you may also receive temporary disability benefits, permanent disability benefits and vocational rehabilitation.

Some FedEx workers suffer injuries because of work-related accidents that were caused by someone else, such as dog bites or car crashes while making deliveries. In such cases, the personal injury lawyers at Briskman Briskman & Greenberg can help you file a third-party lawsuit to pursue damages for your injuries and other losses.

Steps to Take After a FedEx Work Injury

Illinois workers’ compensation laws are designed to protect your rights as an employee. Your employer has a duty to provide insurance coverage after a workplace accident. Following the steps below will help support any claim you file for your FedEx injury.

Gather evidence including photos of the accident scene and details from any witnesses who saw the workplace accident.

Report your accident and injuries to your supervisor as soon as possible.

Seek medical treatment right away. Keep all documentation such as prescriptions, medical reports and copies of hospital visits.

Talk to human resources. Because FedEx workers span a variety of fields, the workers’ compensation process may vary even within branches of a single company.

Speak with a knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney.

Injured While Working at FedEx? Contact Briskman Briskman & Greenberg.

Injured workers have the right to workers’ compensation. However, the reality is that many times claims for benefits are initially denied by employers even when you meet all the requirements and take all the necessary steps. As an example, FedEx might argue that your injuries are not work related or not as serious as you claim. In such situations, having an experienced workers’ compensation lawyer representing your interests is essential.

If you have been injured while working at FedEx, contact the Chicago workers’ compensation lawyers at Briskman Briskman & Greenberg for a free consultation.
