First responders like police officers, state troopers, firefighters, and paramedics are frequently placed in dangerous situations. When a public servant gets hurt in the line of duty, workers’ compensation will not always be enough to cover the damages. In many cases, public servants can file a personal injury claim against a liable or negligent civilian, allowing them to recoup significant losses from an injury.
At Schwartz Injury Law, we recognize the important work that first responders do. If you have been injured by a civilian while working as a public servant, you may have grounds to file a personal injury claim against the liable party. Our personal injury attorneys are ready to argue aggressively on your behalf to make sure you get the compensation you are owed. We have an outstanding track record of securing major wins for our clients and are willing to go to trial if negotiations do not result in a fair settlement.
