Amazon Flex Drivers Lawsuits and Arbitrations (2025)

We have had lots of success already in the cases that have gone to hearing, as arbitrators in six out of eight of the cases have awarded our clients thousands of dollars.  

That said, our firms cannot guarantee any specific case results. The prior successful results were dependent on the facts of each individual case and do not guarantee a similar result in future cases. Results may differ in other cases if based on different facts (including the length of time you delivered for Amazon Flex and the state in which you worked), presented to a different arbitrator, or for other reasons. 

Amazon claims to classify Flex drivers as independent contractors to guarantee their ability to pick and choose when they work. They fail to mention that they could provide drivers just as flexible a schedule while classifying them as employees and giving them the protections granted to employees under state employment laws.  

Moreover, while Amazon attracts drivers with the promise of flexible scheduling, Amazon frequently fails at delivering it. Drivers’ freedom to schedule deliveries is often compromised by harsh realities such as the limited availability of delivery blocks or blocks that include so many deliveries that they take longer than advertised. 

We are only pursuing claims regarding misclassification. If you have a workers‘ compensation claim for injuries on the job or a wrongful termination claim, you should seek the advice of another attorney promptly, as the passage of time may affect your rights. That said, we can still pursue your misclassification claim, and pursuing both separately should have no negative impacts on either case. 

The statute of limitations for workers to recover lost wages and unpaid benefits varies depending on the state. The longer you wait to file your claim, the less money you may be able to recover. If you wait too long, you may lose your claim forever. If you are unsure about what claims you may have, you can fill out our form and we will send you a survey where you can learn immediately whether you have potential claims.

*Our firms cannot guarantee any specific case results. The prior successful results depended on the facts of each individual case and do not guarantee a similar result in future cases. Results may differ in your case because of your individual facts (including the length of time you delivered for Amazon Flex and the state in which you worked), the particular arbitrator assigned to the case, or for other reasons. 

**Although we use the term “lawsuit” to refer to our legal claims against Amazon, these claims are actually brought forward as arbitrations, and we are not filing in court.
