Guidance for Drivers Exposed or Injured During the Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic placed delivery drivers on the front lines, keeping New Jersey families and businesses supplied during a time of crisis. But this work brought unique dangers — from exposure to the virus and unsafe delivery conditions to long shifts and increased accident risk. Many drivers experienced serious illness, respiratory complications, or injuries tied to pandemic-related demands.

Schibell Law represents COVID-19 delivery drivers who became ill or injured during the pandemic, helping them secure medical care, wage benefits, and long-term disability support.

Many delivery drivers experienced the same hazards faced by other last-mile workers, including slip-and-fall accidents, lifting injuries, and repetitive motion strain.

What to Do if You Believe COVID-19 Exposure Was Work-Related

COVID - 19 claims can be complicated because exposure is difficult to trace. These steps strengthen your case:

Report Incident

Report the illness or injury to your employer as soon as possible.

Get Immediate Medical Attention

Seek immediate medical treatment and testing for COVID-19.

Document the Circumstances

Document delivery routes, exposure risks, and unsafe working conditions.

Contact an Attorney Quickly

Contact a workers’ compensation lawyer experienced in pandemic-related claims.

New Jersey workers’ compensation law treats occupational illnesses differently, and proving exposure requires careful evidence gathering. For additional guidance, explore our resource on occupational illnesses and how they’re handled under New Jersey workers’ compensation.

Common Risks Faced by COVID-19 Delivery Drivers

Helping Drivers Stay Safe, Informed, and Protected

If symptoms worsened during delivery shifts and improved when you stopped working, it may indicate a work-related illness.

Exposure to COVID-19 in homes, warehouses, and public spaces

Respiratory complications and long-term health issues from infection

Increased vehicle accidents due to high delivery volume and rushed routes

Slip-and-fall accidents at unfamiliar or unsafe delivery sites

Stress and fatigue from extended shifts during peak pandemic demand
