What Should a DSP Employee Do After They Get Hurt in an Accident?

First, if you are a DSP employee who has been hurt on the job, you should seek immediate medical attention. Your health and safety should be your top priority.

Next, report your accident and injury as soon as possible. If you are a DSP driver, report it to your employer. Depending on the type of Amazon delivery accident and where it happened, you may also need to report it to the police and/or the property owner.

As you move forward, keep track of everything, including records of your medical treatment, medical bills, and receipts from other related out-of-pocket expenses. You should also keep a journal that tracks the effect of your injury on your daily life.

Consult a lawyer. An experienced personal injury attorney will know how to protect your rights after an Amazon delivery accident and seek maximum compensation for you.

What Is an Amazon DSP?

Amazon packs items at its giant warehouses, or “fulfillment centers,” and sends them to delivery stations scattered throughout the country. From there, they are delivered to customers, primarily, by small companies that contract with Amazon called “delivery service partners,” or DSPs, or by solo Amazon Flex drivers.

Amazon treats DSP delivery drivers as independent contractors, not company employees. However, a driver may still be classified as an employee of the DSP.

Why Do Injured DSP Employees Need an Attorney?

If you’re injured while working as an Amazon delivery driver, you may be left with medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing pain. An experienced accident attorney can help determine whether you qualify for workers’ compensation benefits. Those benefits can pay for your medical expenses and replace a portion of your lost wages.

However, you may seek a recovery beyond workers’ compensation if a third party caused your injury, such as a negligent driver, dog owner, or property manager. At Truitt Law Offices, our experienced delivery driver injury lawyers can help you fight for compensation in a personal injury lawsuit that may include:

What Are Common Injuries for Amazon Delivery Drivers?

Amazon is built on providing customers with speedy, convenient delivery. The burden of upholding that reputation falls on DSPs and their drivers. They face demanding daily delivery quotas, which can force them to work long shifts and face a host of injury risks while on the job, including:

  • Slip and falls from hazards on customers’ private or commercial property, such as cracked and uneven pavement on walkways or a defective stairway in an office.
  • Trip and falls while entering or exiting their delivery trucks, which may occur while drivers are under pressure to complete a delivery as fast as possible.
  • Dog bites during package delivery, which typically result from the failure of the dog’s owner to take reasonable steps to contain a dangerous dog.
  • Getting struck by objects or vehicles, which may occur during the loading and unloading of packages at delivery stations and delivery sites.
  • Auto accidents caused by negligent drivers, which are like the risks drivers face daily on our roads.

You can lose your right to recover compensation if you miss these deadlines. This varies by your state’s law, so contact us as soon as possible.
