Even if an airport employee accident is the fault of the worker, he or she may still be entitled to workers’ compensation under New Jersey law because it is a “no-fault” system.

This is important because an airport accident can occur in an instant, leaving the injured worker with serious and debilitating consequences.

How New Jersey Airport Employee Injury Attorney Richard Schibell can Help

Airports across the country make it difficult for airport employees to use all of their five senses while on the job. New Jersey is no exception to this rule. Some issues that cause difficulty for airport employees include loud jets that drown out sound; jet fuel, which makes it difficult to smell exhaust; vibrations from oncoming tugs, trucks, and cars; and exhaustion, extreme weather, and high winds that deteriorate self-preservation senses. Of note, a New Jersey workers’ compensation claim for airport-related injuries will not be successful if the injury was intentionally inflicted, the injury was caused by alcohol or drug use, or the injury occured through a violation of a known and enforced safety rule.

Given the large international and smaller sized public and private airports in New York and New Jersey, it is no surprise that airport worker accidents happen both in the air and on the ground all the time. Our experienced New Jersey airport employee injury attorneys have the knowledge and experienced to handle complex injury claims.

Indeed, hazards from both inside and outside of the terminal can cause airport employee injuries such as:

• Exposure to chemicals;
• Slip and falls;
• Crushing injuries;
• Airplane accidents;
• Auto accidents; and
