Illinois Workers’ Compensation Lawyer

Illinois is home to several large airports, including O’Hare International Airport, Midway Airport and Chicago Executive Airport.

If you are an airline industry employee who has been injured on the job, skilled Illinois airline worker attorney Bogdan Martinovich can help you obtain the workers’ compensation benefits to which you are entitled.

Issues Affecting Traveling Employees

Illinois worker’s compensation laws require that, in order for an injured employee to have a valid workers’ compensation claim, the injury must have occurred while the employee was on the job. Daily activities, such commuting to and from work, eating in a restaurant or walking to one’s car, are generally not covered by workers’ compensation for those employees with a fixed place of employment, but injuries incurred during these activities may be covered by workers’ compensation for traveling employees, such as those employees in the airline industry.

For example, a pilot that slips on the ice in a parking lot while on a layover or flight attendant that is injured in a restaurant while on an overnight layover are likely entitled to workers’ compensation benefits because it is reasonably foreseeable that the employee would need to do these activities while on the layover.
