  1. Police Disability Lawyer In New York At the very outset you will be asked to submit an accident report to your Department. Even at this early stage of the procedure, it is imperative that you take the time to write an accurate description of how you were injured. The next step will be to file a timely Workers’ Compensation claim which, among other things, will also require you to describe how you were injured. The description of your accident on your Workers’ Compensation claim form, known as a Form C-3, should be the same as written on your accident report to your Department. However, pursuant to NYS General Municipal Law Section 207-c, you will be paid your regular wages until your disability from this accident has ceased.

  2. How Disability Pensions are Determined Establishing entitlement to a 75% accidental disability pension or a 50% Performance of Duty disability retirement has many other requirements besides the medical requirement of being incapacitated for the performance of full police duties. There are notice requirements, filing deadlines and the need to provide sufficient and relevant medical evidence to meet the “incapacitation” standard. The purpose of retaining experienced counsel who is fully familiar with police disability is to take you through the process and to being awarded the disability pension to which you are entitled. These are not easy benefits to receive, and the Retirement System certainly is not generous in awarding them. Therefore, it is always in an applicant’s best interest to seek out the services of experienced counsel in this area of the law to advise you properly in order to make the best decision for your future as well as that of your family. The New York police disability attorneys with Fusco, Brandenstein & Rada, P.C. can help you through your application to the favorable resolution of your claim.
