Irvine Airline and Airport Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Commercial aviation is one of the biggest industries in the United States, and airports are often the biggest employers in the areas where they are located by a substantial margin. With so many planes in the air at any given time and so much going on inside terminals and cargo facilities, it should not come as any surprise that there are thousands of work-related injuries in this industry every year, the vast majority of which occur during mundane days on the job instead of through dramatic airplane crashes.

If you recently suffered a significant injury or illness while working on an airplane or inside an airport, you should strongly consider seeking help from our Irvine airline and airport workers’ compensation lawyer as soon as possible. Workers’ comp claims can be much more complex in practice than many first-time claimants expect, and having the support of a seasoned workers’ comp attorney can be all but essential to getting the best possible case result.

Are All Airline and Airport Workers Covered by Workers’ Comp?

Under state law, every business with at least one full-time or part-time employee must purchase workers’ compensation insurance or prove they are self-insured. Every person classified as an employee of that business must be able to file a claim against that coverage after getting hurt or sick on the job. Of course, that law applies only to businesses in California, and since commercial air travel often takes flight attendants and pilots across state lines, it is fair to have questions about how workers’ comp law addresses that.

Fortunately for airline workers, it is possible for a claimant to file a workers’ comp claim in California regardless of where they were actually injured as long as they were either hired in the state of California or perform most of their work in California. Our Irvine attorney could answer further questions about workers’ comp coverage for an airline worker during a private consultation.

Proving an Injury Was Work-Related

Qualifying workers’ comp claimants should have access to a variety of benefits to help them maintain financial stability and get back to working condition quickly, including reimbursement for reasonable medical expenses, temporary or permanent disability benefits to account for injury-related income loss, and other benefits like assistance with job retraining. However, those benefits are only available to workers who get hurt or sick while performing a job-related task.

Fortunately for airline workers, court precedent holds that a work-related task can sometimes be a task performed outside of a normal shift schedule—for example, while a flight attendant is preparing an airplane cabin for departure before takeoff or while they are staying in a hotel between flights. If needed, our airline and airport workers’ comp lawyer in Irvine could help collect and present evidence to establish that a specific injury should be covered, which can be crucial if a claim is initially denied on those grounds.
