Grocery stores employee millions of Americans in a variety of jobs: bagger; baker; butcher; cashier; courtesy clerk; deli worker; manager; maintenance; and stock clerk, just to name a few.

This article explains what to do and what workers compensation benefits you may be entitled to if you’re hurt on the job while working for one of Virginia’s most popular supermarkets, Food Lion. These benefits can help your family during the difficult days, weeks, and months following a job injury.

Food Lion Workers Compensation Can Provide a Safety Net After Your Work Accident

 

In Virginia all employers who regularly employ three or more employees must carry workers compensation insurance. As a Food Lion employee you do not have to pay for workers compensation insurance coverage. Your employer does.

 

There are many benefits available to injured Food Lion employees through Virginia workers compensation law, including:

 

 

 

 

 

 

  • And much more.

 

You may also be able to negotiate a lump workers compensation settlement with Food Lion that covers your permanent disability and future wage loss and medical treatment.

On the Job Risks for Food Lion Workers

 

The risks you face as a Food Lion employee depend on your job title and job responsibilities. Those of you who work as cashiers, clerks, and deli workers will face job risks much different from warehouse workers at the distribution center and delivery drivers.

 

Common Food Lion injuries we’ve seen include:

 

  • Bakers and deli workers suffering burn injuries from exposure to ovens and hot pans and lacerations from handling knives and sharp objects.

 

  • Stock clerks suffering back and neck injuries from lifting and moving products

 

  • Courtesy clerks suffering hand and wrist injuries while frequently handling items

 

  • Cashiers suffering ankle, leg, and foot injuries when they slip and fall on a wet floor

 

 

Though some injuries are minor, you’re also at risk of suffering a catastrophic injury because of a Food Lion work accident.
