Filing a Lawsuit in California

When a safety officer suffers an injury while on the job, they may be eligible to collect workers’ compensation for their injuries. However, this is rarely enough to cover all expenses and damages, especially when injuries are severe. Fortunately, injured police officers, firefighters and first responders have another option. They can file a third-party personal injury lawsuit against the negligent driver to help pay for damages. These types of personal injury claims help the officer get the money to pay for medical expenses, lost wages, loss of future earnings and pain and suffering.
