Workers' Comp for Warehousing Professionals

Workers' Compensation for Warehousing Professionals in North Carolina

Injured while keeping the supply chain moving? Warehouse workers are the backbone of the logistics and supply chain industry, ensuring that goods are stored, packed, and shipped efficiently. But the physical demands andhigh-risk nature of warehouse work often lead to injuries that can disrupt your life and livelihood.

At Shankle Law Firm, we are dedicated to helping injured warehouse workers secure the workers’ compensation
benefits they need to recover and move forward.

Unique Hazards in Warehouse Work

Warehousing environments pose numerous risks that can lead to serious injuries. Common hazards include:

Heavy Lifting Injuries: Strains, sprains, ligament or muscle tears, and herniated discs are common due to lifting and moving heavy objects.
Slip-and-Fall Accidents: Wet floors, cluttered aisles, or uneven surfaces can result in broken bones, concussions, or soft tissue injuries.
Equipment-Related Accidents: Forklift collisions, pallet jack mishaps, and conveyor belt accidents can cause severe injuries such as amputations and even death.
Repetitive Motion Injuries: Tasks like face paced and constant lifting, scanning, or packing can lead to chronic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome or tendinitis in the upper extremities.
Falling Objects: Items falling from high shelves or unstable stacks can result in head injuries, fractures, or worse.

These risks are part of the job, but you shouldn’t have to bear the burden alone when injuries occur.
