Helping Delivery Drivers Injured on Route or at the Locust Street Customer Center

Every day, UPS drivers in Hartford move hundreds of packages across the city—navigating tight streets, slippery driveways, and long delivery routes that wear down the body. When you get hurt on the job, whether loading your truck at the Locust Street Customer Center or delivering in West Hartford or Newington, your first concern should be your health.
Your second should be protecting your workers' compensation rights.

At James F. Aspell, P.C., we represent injured UPS drivers throughout the Hartford area. Attorney Jim Aspell—a Board-Certified Workers' Compensation Specialist—has helped countless Connecticut drivers secure benefits after back injuries, shoulder tears, and vehicle accidents.

Common Injuries for UPS Drivers

Hartford-area UPS drivers often sustain:

  • Back and neck injuries from repetitive lifting and awkward angles loading trucks

  • Knee and ankle injuries from jumping in and out of trucks

  • Shoulder and elbow injuries from pulling heavy packages or using handheld scanners

  • Slip-and-fall injuries on icy driveways or wet truck steps

  • Car accidents on I-84, I-91, or local delivery routes

Even if the injury developed gradually—like chronic back pain or tendinitis—it's still compensable under Connecticut law.

Workers' Comp Benefits for UPS Drivers

As a UPS driver, you may be entitled to:

  • Full medical care with no out-of-pocket cost

  • Weekly wage replacement if you're out of work

  • Permanent partial disability (PPD) benefits for lasting limitations

  • Mileage reimbursement to and from medical appointments

  • Job retraining or light-duty options if you can't return to full route work
