Boston Police Officer Injuries Lawyer
Qualified Injury Representation for Boston's Finest
Attorney Scott Goldberg concentrates in protecting and representing the rights of police officers who have been injured on-duty (and off-duty). These injuries can range from minor to severe, but may leave an officer out of work. Chances are that as an injured Officer you have legal rights - and are entitled to additional compensation - that you do not know about. Our firm can explain the benefits to which you are entitled and how to obtain those benefits.
On-Duty Injuries
Every day, you − our men and women in uniform − run a higher risk of serious injury or death than the general public. Many patrolmen and women are injured in car crashes while on duty; other officers are injured while on patrol or on a detail assignment, such as directing traffic. Sometimes, officers are injured when a police cruiser is struck by a stolen vehicle or other uninsured driver.
Even though when you are injured on duty you will receive Injured On-Duty (IOD) Pay from the city, did you know that you may still be entitled to additional money for pain and suffering and lost earnings − including loss of overtime and detail pay? Please call us for a free consultation to explain how you can receive this additional compensation.
We are familiar with Massachusetts state law (Chapter 41, Section 111F) that deals with leave with pay for incapacitated employees. Attorney Scott Goldberg can explain the laws in a language that you can understand so you know how benefits may be awarded.
