Injured Working at an ALDI Warehouse or Store in the Lehigh Valley? Know Your Workers’ Compensation Rights

Working in a warehouse or grocery store can be physically demanding. Employees may spend long hours on their feet, lift and move merchandise, operate or work around industrial equipment, stock shelves, unload deliveries, and perform repetitive tasks throughout a shift.

For ALDI employees working at a warehouse in the Allentown or Center Valley area, or at an ALDI grocery store in the Lehigh Valley, a workplace injury can affect your ability to work and provide for your family.

If you have been injured on the job, you may be entitled to Pennsylvania workers’ compensation benefits.

Common ALDI Warehouse Injuries

Warehouse employees perform a variety of physically demanding tasks, and injuries can happen in different ways. Some of the more common types of warehouse injuries include:

  • Injuries involving industrial trucks and equipment, including being struck by or coming into contact with equipment or materials.
  • Overexertion injuries caused by lifting, carrying, pushing, pulling, or moving merchandise.
  • Back, shoulder, neck, and knee injuries related to lifting and other physical work.
  • Repetitive-motion and ergonomic injuries that develop over time from performing the same movements throughout a shift.
  • Slip, trip, and fall injuries, which can result in sprains, fractures, and other injuries.
  • Transportation-related accidents involving vehicles or other equipment used to move products and materials.

An injury does not necessarily have to involve one dramatic accident. Repetitive lifting or other physically demanding work can contribute to an injury over time, and those injuries may also qualify for workers’ compensation.

ALDI Grocery Store Employees Can Be Injured, Too

Warehouse employees aren't the only ALDI workers who can suffer workplace injuries.

Employees working in an ALDI store may regularly lift and carry products, stock shelves, unload deliveries, work in refrigerated areas, operate equipment, and spend long periods standing or walking.

Those duties can lead to injuries such as:

  • Back and shoulder strains from lifting and stocking merchandise.
  • Sprains and strains from slips, trips, or falls.
  • Repetitive-use injuries from performing the same tasks throughout a shift.
  • Injuries involving carts, pallet jacks, or other equipment.
  • Injuries caused by falling merchandise or objects.
  • Cuts and other injuries that occur while handling products or equipment.

The specific circumstances of your injury matter. A workers’ compensation claim should be evaluated based on what happened, how the injury occurred, your medical treatment, and how the injury affects your ability to work.

What Should You Do After an ALDI Workplace Injury?

If you are injured while working, report the injury to your employer and seek appropriate medical attention. Keep records of your medical treatment and follow your doctor's instructions.

It is also important to understand that the workers’ compensation process can become complicated if an insurance company questions whether your injury is work-related, disputes your medical treatment, or refuses to pay benefits.

If your claim is denied, you may have the right to appeal.

You do not have to handle that process by yourself.
