Manufacturing and warehouse employees play an integral role in keeping the New Jersey economy booming, especially as the holidays are approaching and purchases are at a record high. However, manufacturing and retail employees also face unique workplace hazards which can lead to devastating injuries. While there are strict regulations and safety protocols in place across the sector of manufacturing and warehouse work, injuries are far from uncommon and often leave employees struggling both physically and financially.
Employers and insurance companies do not make it easy for employees to see their workers’ compensation benefits. They will fight hard to undervalue your injury, attribute it to other causes, and or even fight to prove that it is a pre-existing condition. That’s why you need a skilled and aggressive South Jersey Workers’ Compensation Attorney who will fight harder.
Proudly serving the people of Burlington, Medford, Pemberton, Southampton, Tabernacle, Willingboro, and beyond, the experienced workers’ compensation team at the Law Offices of Craig A. Altman have made it their mission to advocate for injured workers. We are ready to start fighting for the workers’ compensation benefits you are rightfully owed today.
Machinery-related Injuries
Working in the manufacturing and warehouse fields includes significant contact with heavy machinery on a daily basis. Even with strict safety protocols in place, injuries still occur and can have a devastating impact.
Forklift Accident
Forklifts are an essential tool when working in a manufacturing and warehouse setting. However, even with appropriate training and safety guidelines, accidents still happen, and they can result in catastrophic injuries.
Repetitive Strain Injuries
Working in manufacturing and warehouse jobs involves a lot of repetitive motion, which can lead to injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome and musculoskeletal disorders.
Electrical Injuries
Manufacturing facilities and warehouses rely on complex electrical systems to keep all of their machinery running. This puts workers at risk of electrical shocks, burns, and similar injuries.
Falls
Many manufacturing and warehouse tasks require the use of ladders and scaffoldings to stock or retrieve products. Falls from these heights can result in serious injuries.
Overexertion and Fatigue
Manufacturing and warehouse work is incredibly physically demanding, requiring prolonged periods on your feet, and lifting heavy objects, which can result in overexertion and fatigue, along with muscle strains and sprains.
