What You Should Know About Delivery Driver Injuries
Delivery drivers across California and beyond provide an invaluable service by ensuring timely delivery of goods and services to customers’ doorsteps. However, this occupation comes with its own set of risks, including potential injuries incurred during the transportation process. If you suffer injury in the course of your work as a delivery driver, you may be entitled to workers’ compensation benefits. Consulting with a knowledgeable lawyer can help ensure that you receive the full benefits you’re entitled to under the law.

Common Delivery Driver Injuries
As a delivery driver, you are susceptible to various common injuries, including:
- Back strains from heavy lifting
- Slip-and-fall injuries
- Repetitive strain injuries
- Traffic accidents
- Cuts and bruises
- Exposure to hazardous materials
- Dog bites
There are other risks and hazards associated with the delivery driver line of work, such as:
- Aggressive customers
- Poor driving conditions
- Extreme temperatures
- Equipment malfunctions
In California, if you are injured when on the job as a delivery driver, your employer is generally responsible for providing workers’ compensation benefits to cover your medical expenses and lost wages. However, accidents involving delivery drivers often give rise to third-party injury claims, such as when another driver causes a wreck.
At Katzakian Law P.C., we will help guide you through the process of filing a workers’ compensation claim, ensure that your rights are protected and advocate on your behalf to secure compensation for your injuries.
