Back in the golden age of air travel, airline employees were treated like respected professionals. Unfortunately, thanks to industry belt tightening and a general cultural shift, airline employees today often find their rights trampled on. If you are an injured airline employee, one of the Chicago Illinois workers compensation attorneys at Steven J. Malman and Associates may be able to prevent your employer's insurance company from undermining your claim to benefits.

Airline employees face a battery of health hazards. For one, they are exposed to literally thousands of passengers in the course of a typical work week. Many of these passengers can transmit infections. Airline employees also encounter a variety of toxins, including airline fuel and exhaust. In addition, they must deal with oscillation between altitudes on a daily basis. The dry, rarefied air available in the cabin at 30,000+ feet is very different from the air at ground level. No long term controlled trials have even been conducted to determine how chronic altitude oscillation might impact health. The only thing one can say for sure is that our Paleolithic ancestors never radically shifted altitudes on a regular basis. Last but not least, airline employees run a small but non-zero risk of being hurt in an accident, such as a plane crash, taxi failure, lurch, or false start.
