Ground and Gate Crew Injuries in Airports

A person working on the ground or gate crew at an airport may be susceptible to a variety of serious injuries. These individuals provide several crucial services for the airport and air travelers. In particular, these individuals work hard to clear up the runways and prepare a plane for flight. They may also help to direct planes to and from a gate, keeping the ground traffic of an airport running smoothly. Unfortunately, a number of the tasks that they regularly engage in may cause them to be hurt on the job.

If you are a gate or ground crew worker at an airport you may be entitled to pursue workers’ compensation benefits if you have been hurt at work. To learn more about your legal rights, or for help with your claim, contact the New Jersey workers’ compensation attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., at 888-389-COMP today.

Injuries for Ground and Gate Crew Workers

Workers can be severely injured because of the large machines used to help get an airplane prepared for a flight. Accidents involving these machines or other mechanical errors may result in some of the following injuries:

  • Electrical shock
  • Amputation
  • Severe blunt force trauma
  • Repetitive motion injuries
  • Lifting injuries
  • Carbon monoxide exposure

In addition to the ground and gate crew workers, anyone hired to perform maintenance on the premises of the airport gates may be injured because of a variety of occupational hazards. In many of these cases, workers’ compensation may be available for the injured employee.
