Police and Firefighter Claims

Our firm is committed to protecting those who protect us.  We have represented police and firefighters in personal injury cases for more than 50 years.  Those service members are entitled to bring claims for personal injury, even when those injuries are suffered in the course of their employment. In certain circumstances, the law permits police and firefighters to bring claims when injured due to the negligence of third parties, such as motor vehicle accidents, product liabilities including failures of protective equipment, and premises matters like trip and falls for a dangerous condition on private property. The intersection between the General Municipal Law statutes which protect police and fire members who have been injured in the line of duty by providing medical expenses and salaries and personal injury litigation is a complex one that requires experience to navigate.

Many police and firefighters as well as their families are unaware they have the right to bring a personal injury claim when they have suffered a line of duty injury due to a third party’s negligence.  We urge those injured in the line of duty to contact us.
