Massachusetts State & Local Police Injury Attorneys

Police officers face a high degree of risk every single day, from gun violence to police cruiser accidents. Police officers who are hurt on the job will not only likely lose income from being unable to working long extra hours on details and overtime shifts, but there’s a chance they may not be able to return to work at all. Whether it is an injury which keeps you out of work for a period of time, a career-ending injury or fatal injury, you and your family members are put through many straining financial and emotional challenges.

Our experienced Massachusetts police injury lawyers routinely seek compensation for the following:

We Protect Your Rights

Attorney For police Officers In Massachusetts

Our goal is to collect as much money as possible for Massachusetts police officers and State Troopers injured while on duty and minimize the financial impact on their families. We also make it a point to ease tensions between the client and the department, if any, and to help the employee return to full duty as quickly as possible. At times, we connect injured officers with respected medical specialists to treat their injuries.

Some officers are of the opinion that they can't make a claim against a responsible third party who causes their injury. This is not the case. In Massachusetts, it is the right of every individual, no matter what his or her occupation, to be compensated for an injury caused by another. We believe this should and must apply to public safety employees hurt on duty. And that is what the law provides.
