Representing Package Handlers and Dock Workers at the Locust Street Hub

The UPS warehouse on Locust Street in Hartford runs nonstop—sorting, loading, and unloading thousands of packages daily. Behind the scenes are the package handlers, sorters, and dock workers who keep everything moving. Unfortunately, this fast-paced environment often leads to serious injuries.

If you've hurt your back, shoulder, or knee while working at the Hartford UPS Customer Center, you have rights under Connecticut's Workers' Compensation Act.
Attorney Jim Aspell, a Board-Certified Specialist, has represented injured warehouse workers across Connecticut for over 30 years.

Common UPS Warehouse Injuries

We frequently see:

  • Back injuries from lifting heavy parcels

  • Shoulder and rotator cuff tears from repetitive overhead movement

  • Knee injuries from pivoting or twisting on concrete floors

  • Hand and wrist injuries from conveyor work and scanners

  • Slips, trips, and falls on loading docks or wet floors

  • Hearing loss from constant machine and truck noise

Many workers ignore pain to keep up with production quotas—until the injury becomes disabling.

Workers' Comp Rights for UPS Warehouse Staff

You are entitled to:

  • Paid medical care and lost wage benefits

  • Temporary total or partial disability payments

  • PPD benefits for lasting functional loss

  • Job protection while recovering

  • Scarring/disfigurement awards for visible injuries (C.G.S. § 31-308(c))

Our firm ensures all paperwork—like the Form 30C—is filed correctly and advocates at hearings before the Hartford Workers' Compensation District Office.
