As an Atlanta-based workers compensation law firm, we see more and more Clients who have suffered a work injury while working for United Parcel Service (UPS). Given the labor intensive nature of the work performed by many UPS employees, it is not unusual to see a catastrophic back or neck injury, a severe carpal tunnel injury, or a debilitating knee injury. While UPS does take measures to protect its employees from these types of work injuries, these precautions are sometimes simply ineffective.
Studies show that UPS has one of the highest workers compensation injury rates, with some reports suggesting that UPS averages 60,000 work injuries per month. These same reports also suggest that UPS averages one work-related death per month. Given these statistics, it is not unusual for our firm to field multiple calls per week from UPS employees.
UPS workers compensation claims can be valued in the hundreds of thousands, and sometimes millions, of dollars. This is because the severity of the injures suffered by UPS employees typically require extensive medical care. Due to the value of these claims and the medical care required by injured UPS workers, it is imperative for injured UPS employees to, at the very least, discuss their claims with an experienced workers compensation attorney.
