Individuals working in the airline industry are subjected to dangerous environments at airports as well as on planes. In fact, one of the prerequisites for qualifying for an airline job is the knowledge and acceptance that the work will carry a risk that’s above average when compared to your ordinary office job. From falling luggage to turbulence as well as uncooperative passengers, airline employees are more likely to suffer injuries that may incapacitate them or make it difficult for them to perform work duties to a certain acceptable level.

Filing an Injured Airline Worker Claim

However, it is important to note that you should and are only allowed to file a workers’ compensation claim from the state in which you were hired in order for it to be valid.

However, it’s not uncommon for these workers to suffer injuries due to:

1. Air traffic controller negligence
2. Pilot error
3. Poor weather conditions
4. Poor craft maintenance
5. FAA regulations violations
