Causes of Police Officer Injuries
Any person who works in law enforcement may experience serious injuries caused by criminal acts, accidents, or negligence.
Potential causes of police officer injuries include:
- Physical attacks
- Gun violence
- Car accidents during pursuits
- Roadside traffic accidents
- Exposure to hazardous materials, drugs, or toxins
- Falls or other injuries during foot pursuits
- Overexertion injuries
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other emotional trauma
After an injury, it can be difficult to navigate the workers’ compensation system to recover benefits. There is also the question of whether a personal injury lawsuit may be applicable, which may open the door to additional compensation. Our Maryland police officer injury lawyers can analyze the circumstances surrounding your case to determine how to maximize your recovery. We are here to help you put the pieces of your life back together.
