Common Injuries for Airline Employees

Work injuries are not constrained to one particular type of accident or situation. If you’ve never been injured at work before, it’s understandable you might have questions about workers’ compensation eligibility and the process. Our free consultations allow employees to speak with an experienced attorney, have their questions answered, and provide us with an opportunity to understand the circumstances of the injury and determine if you have a case. Airline employees are exposed to many types of injuries, such as:

• Musculoskeletal Disorders – These are caused by repetitive strain on muscles, nerves, and tendons. Every aniline employee is at risk of this type of injury due to lifting heavy bags, cleaning airplane cabins, and other repetitive job requirements that cause frequent pushing, pulling, and twisting.
• Hearing Loss – All employees, especially ground crew, should wear protective hearing equipment in areas exposed to loud noises. However, situations where employees are exposed to excessive noise from aircraft and other baggage handling and fueling equipment, can lead to lifelong hearing loss.
• Accidents – Airports are fast-paced, busy environments with many things in motion. Accidents can happen with moving objects and equipment caused by the negligence of other people.
• Slips and Falls – Unsafe working conditions, spills not cleaned up properly, and other hazardous situations can cause slip and falls, resulting in serious injury.
• Hypertension and Stress-Related Disease – Front gate employees are at risk of stress and anxiety injuries from frequent dealings with angry and aggressive passengers upset about delayed and late flights, baggage mishandling, and more.

We’ll Help You Avoid Common Coverage Issues

Airline liability for a personal injury at work isn’t as straightforward as it seems. While you might think you’re eligible for compensation after an injury, you’d be surprised at reasons claims are denied, or employees don’t receive as much compensation as they should. We help victims avoid common coverage issues, such as:

• Employees injured performing duties in an area they were not hired for
• Employees who don’t have insurance and can only rely on their employer’s workers’ comp insurance
• Employers who make false statements on insurance forms or are not transparent about the size of staff or payroll
• Employers who have not purchased any workers’ compensation insurance
