These cases can involve workers’ compensation claims, third-party personal injury claims, or both, depending on how the incident happened. Liable parties may include contractors, equipment companies, maintenance providers, property operators, vendors, or manufacturers of defective machinery and safety equipment.
Our attorneys investigate incident reports, OSHA-related materials where applicable, surveillance footage, witness statements, maintenance records, inspection logs, training records, safety records, and expert review of equipment and workplace conditions. We pursue compensation tied to medical expenses, lost wages, reduced future earning capacity, pain and suffering in third-party claims, and long-term disability when a serious workplace injury changes a worker’s future.
We represent injured airline and airport workers on a contingency fee basis in qualifying third-party injury cases, and we can help evaluate whether additional compensation beyond workers’ compensation may be available.
What causes serious injuries to airline and airport workers?
Common causes include baggage handling accidents, falls on slippery surfaces, tarmac vehicle incidents, loading injuries, equipment malfunctions, jet bridge accidents, struck-by incidents, and exposure to unsafe conditions.
Who can be liable for an airport worker’s injuries?
Depending on the facts, liable parties may include contractors, vendors, maintenance companies, equipment manufacturers, property operators, outside drivers, or other third parties whose negligence contributed to the incident.
What evidence matters in an airline or airport worker injury case?
Important evidence can include incident reports, surveillance footage, witness statements, maintenance records, inspection logs, safety records, training documentation, and expert review of the equipment or worksite conditions.
Can I receive workers’ compensation and still have a third-party claim?
Yes. In many cases, an injured airport worker may receive workers’ compensation benefits and also pursue a separate third-party claim if someone other than the employer caused or contributed to the injury.
What compensation may be available after a serious airport workplace injury?
Available compensation may include workers’ compensation benefits, medical treatment coverage, wage benefits, and in a third-party case, damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, future earning capacity, and disability-related losses.
Do special rules or deadlines apply in airport injury cases?
Yes. Claims involving public entities, airport authorities, or certain employers may have strict notice and filing requirements. Early legal review can be critical to protecting your rights.
How much does it cost to hire your firm for an airline or airport worker injury case?
We evaluate qualifying injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is no legal fee unless we recover compensation for you in a third-party claim.
