\"Airport
Airport lifting injuries do not always result in a compensable claim, even when there is a permanent injury to an airline employee’s spine, shoulder, hip, or legs. The accident must satisfy the requirement of a “sudden accidental injury” for benefits to be paid.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you work as an airport luggage loader or terminal porter, a back injury could make you eligible for workers compensation.<\/p>\n

For example, under the Virginia workers compensation law, a sudden accidental injury can form the basis of a comp claim.\u00a0 A workers comp claim can cover work-related medical treatment, partial wage loss, and permanency benefits.<\/p>\n

However, if you have injured your spine, shoulder, hip, or legs from lifting a number of pieces of luggage, then the airport or airline’s insurance company may deny the claim as being from “cumulative trauma,” and not an accidental injury.<\/p>\n

These kinds of lifting injury cases are very fact specific.<\/p>\n

That’s why it is critical you hire an experienced workers compensation law firm as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

If you or someone you know works for an airport or airline and has been injured while lifting heavy luggage, and there are questions as to what laws apply, email<\/a> or call Abrams Landau, Ltd<\/a>. at once (703-796-9555).<\/p>\n
