Don’t Let Delays and Denials Keep You From the Compensation You Deserve
Did you suffer an injury while working at Amazon? You’re not alone. As one of the largest employers in the United States, Amazon has a workforce of over 1 million people and is continually expanding. With plans to hire more than 100,000 additional workers to meet rising demand, warehouse and delivery operations are more fast-paced and high-pressure than ever—often resulting in increased workplace accidents and injuries.
At Sandoval Law Firm, we help Amazon employees across Texas understand their legal rights after a work-related injury—especially when Amazon, as a non-subscriber employer, tries to delay or deny your claim.
What Makes Amazon Injury Claims Different in Texas?
Unlike traditional workers’ compensation employers, Amazon is a Texas non-subscriber, meaning it has opted out of the state-run workers’ comp system. Instead, it manages its own injury benefit plan. While this is allowed under Texas law, it means:
- Your claim process is not regulated by the Texas Division of Workers’ Compensation
- Amazon’s private insurance plan controls what benefits you receive
- You may be pressured into using Amazon-selected doctors or clinics
- You could be denied benefits even if your injury is valid
- If Amazon’s negligence caused your injury, you may have the right to sue for full compensation
Common Injuries Amazon Workers Suffer
Amazon warehouse and delivery jobs are physically demanding, fast-paced, and often performed under strict time constraints. As a result, workers commonly suffer injuries such as:
- Back and neck strain from lifting heavy packages
- Slip and fall accidents in loading zones or warehouse aisles
- Repetitive stress injuries (RSIs) from constant sorting and scanning
- Shoulder and knee injuries from repetitive motion or overexertion
- Heat exhaustion or dehydration in non-climate-controlled warehouses
- Injuries from forklift or machinery accidents
- Dog bites or car accidents during deliveries
If you’re experiencing pain, discomfort, or limited mobility after an Amazon work accident, don’t wait—seek medical attention and legal guidance immediately.
Don’t Let Delays Hurt Your Case—or Your Health
Far too many Amazon workers report delays in treatment, confusing claims processes, and lack of communication from their employer’s insurance provider. In some cases, injured employees are encouraged to “walk it off” or settle for urgent care visits that don’t address long-term injuries.
The longer you allow your employer or insurance carrier to delay your case, the harder it becomes to recover physically, financially, and legally.
Take Action: What You Should Do If Injured at Amazon
- Report the injury immediately to your supervisor
- Document everything—including when, where, and how the injury happened
- Don’t settle for employer-approved treatment if it doesn’t feel right
- Avoid signing documents you don’t understand
- Consult with a Texas non-subscriber injury attorney as soon as possible
