Holding Amazon Accountable for Dangerous Warehouse Practices

Arnold & Itkin attorneys Trent Shelton and Wes Hook filed suit against Amazon on behalf of a warehouse employee who was injured due to unsafe work practices driven by speed and pressure.

Our client was ordered by managers to rush and repeatedly lift heavy boxes, conduct that predictably led to injury. During peak seasons, such as the holidays, big box retailers often push employees beyond safe physical limits in the name of productivity. When companies prioritize profits over worker safety, injuries are not accidents; they are inevitable outcomes.

Amazon has a duty to provide safe working conditions, proper lifting guidelines, and realistic productivity expectations. Instead, our client was placed in a position where refusing unsafe orders could jeopardize her job.

Arnold & Itkin's work injury lawyers look forward to holding Amazon accountable for these practices and sending a message that worker safety cannot be sacrificed for speed. No employee should be injured simply for doing what management demands.
