Working at an airport hangar requires specialized skills and an intricate understanding of airline mechanics, owing to the fact that you will be coming into contact with aircraft worth hundreds of millions of dollars each year. This is also a high-risk environment where precision is needed when one works with heavy machinery, toxic chemicals, fall hazards, and electrical systems. When an injury occurs, it may be natural to point it out as being a freak accident; however, as the best airline staff injury attorneys, we can unequivocally tell you that these so-called “accidents” are the result of negligence often perpetrated by management or a superior.

In addition, when you either get electrocuted, are crushed by a falling engine, or suffer neurological damage due to chemical exposure, the airline’s knee-jerk exposure is to provide you with workers’ compensation just to shut you up in the interim; however, what they do not tell you is that these policies are often woefully insufficient particularly due to the fact these injuries are often severe and catastrophic, resulting in either life-long care, or permanent disability. To this end, it is important to work with an experienced airline mechanic injury law firm to ensure you are provided with a comprehensive compensation package that can potentially be in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars – read on to find out how we can facilitate this on your behalf.

Common Injuries and Their Causes at Airport Hangars

Here are some of the common injuries that occur at airport hangars and the related negligence:

1. Heavy components being moved overhead due to a jet engine suspended from an overhead crane or hoist can fall if there is an issue with the lifting equipment due to a lack of servicing or an inherent manufacturing fault. In addition, a scissor lift may also collapse due to ignoring load limits, leading to injuries such as traumatic brain injuries or crush injuries
2. Toxic chemical exposure due to the handling of hydraulic fluids, solvents, heavy metal dusts, and so on may be preventable if the mechanic was trained on their exposure to the same, or was provided with PPE. This exposure is often linked to complications such as neurological damage, organ failure, and even certain cancers.
3. Electrocution and arc flash burns due to working around live aircraft electrical systems without proper lock-out/tag-out procedures, as well as a lack of PPE, can happen. The consequences are usually catastrophic, resulting in the destruction of skin tissue as well as internal organ damage.
4. Falls from heights can also occur due to the lack of enforcement with regard to the use of proper fall protection systems such as lanyards, harnesses, and anchor points, leading to paralysis or fatalities.
