Step 1 — The Job
Every shift, baggage workers at O’Hare and Midway lift hundreds of bags — many over 50 lbs — with no mechanical assist, under constant time pressure. It is one of the most physically demanding jobs at any airport.
Step 2 — The Injury
One wrong lift. A herniated disc, torn rotator cuff, or broken bone that sidelines you for weeks — or permanently. Medical bills pile up. Your employer’s insurance company starts working against you immediately.
Step 3 — Howard Steps In
You don’t have to fight the airport or their insurance company alone. Howard Ankin has represented injured Chicago workers for over 40 years. We take over the legal fight so you can focus on getting better. No fees unless we win.
