A Florida appellate court on Wednesday ruled that an airport worker was not entitled to benefits for an injury that happened while walking through the terminal to a shuttle bus stop.

Felix Aquino worked as a baggage handler for American Airlines. In March 2019, after clocking out at Miami International Airport, he injured his right calf muscle stepping off a curb while walking toward a parking-lot-shuttle bus stop, according to Aquino v. American Airlines, filed in the 1st District Court of Appeal in Tallahassee.

Mr. Aquino reported the accident at work the next day and visited an on-site clinic, which provided pain medication, crutches and a ‘cam boot,’ with instructions to stay home and rest. He then underwent a magnetic resonance imaging scan and was referred to an orthopedist. The airline later denied a workers compensation claim.
