Our attorneys help clients obtain the compensation they deserve after suffering personal injuries.

Personal Injury Compensation For Police Officers

Law enforcement officers have extremely dangerous jobs. Every day, our men and women in uniform face a high risk of suffering a serious or fatal personal injury. Officers can be involved in car accidents during high-speed chases or while on patrol for drunk drivers, resulting in internal trauma and other serious personal injury. Officers can also suffer from gunshot and other wounds inflicted by suspected criminals or as a result of friendly fire. Sometimes, defective bulletproof attire or other equipment is to blame for the injuries.

Law enforcement officers who are involved in accidents that leave them unable to perform their duties may be entitled to monetary compensation and other special benefits beyond workers’ compensation for pain, suffering, lost income, disability, mental impairment, medical bills and more.

Personal Injury Compensation For Firefighters

Firefighters have a duty to rescue, protect and provide medical services to citizens in the event of fires and other natural disasters. Because of the dangers of their job, firefighters face a high risk of suffering personal injury. While most firefighter injuries such as cuts and scrapes are minor, firefighters do suffer a significant number of debilitating and career-ending injuries. Fires and explosive chemicals can cause severe burns, while smoke inhalation can cause asphyxiation and cardiac or respiratory problems. Falling objects can lead to brain injuries, neck and spinal cord injuries, internal trauma, wrongful death and more.

If a firefighter suffers a severe personal injury in the line of duty, he or she may be entitled to financial damages for pain, injuries, lost income, property damage and more. The attorneys at Kelner & Kelner Esqs are proud to defend the rights of firefighters who risk their lives for our safety. A personal injury lawyer at our New York firm can identify all parties and entities responsible for injuries suffered.
