Questions people ask

My back got worse little by little. Does it count?

Yes. Injuries that build up over time from work are covered too. They're called cumulative injuries.

A staffing agency hired me, not the warehouse.

You're still covered. Usually the agency's insurance pays, and sometimes the warehouse's does too.
