Please see a few police officer case reports on our recent successes page.

On-Duty Injuries

Everyday, 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 their 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.

Prior Injuries and Potential Claims

Did you know that if you have been injured in the past three years, you may have a claim even now? In fact, if you have been injured by a stolen vehicle or in a hit and run accident within the past six years, you may still have a claim!  Attorney Goldberg has helped numerous police officers obtain compensation that they didn’t even know they were entitled to.   Also, as a courtesy to police officers, we offer free consultations on how you can protect yourself before you are injured, particularly in car accidents.   Please call us at 617.227.1888 or 800.349.1888 to find out how we can help you now.

Other Legal Assistance

At the request of our officers, The Law Firm of Scott D. Goldberg, P.C. also assists members of the Police Department with all their legal needs in other legal areas.
