Police Officer and Firefighter Injury Lawyer

In the police academy, officers are taught to navigate highways and city streets at breakneck speeds. When police are pursuing a suspect at high speeds or responding to a 911 call, they have little control over factors such as the reactions of other drivers and the road conditions.

Statistics show that traffic accidents account for the leading cause of police officer deaths on the job in this country. In 2010, 160 police officers were involved in work-related traffic accidents. Out of that 160, 73 of them died.

Officers who survive on-the-job car and motorcycle crashes often cannot go back to work right away, if ever. They need compensation for their lost wages and benefits.
