We represent police officers, firefighters, and other first responders across New York City, Long Island, and surrounding areas who have been injured on the job. Our team is ready to represent you in workers’ compensation claims, disability claims under New York’s General Municipal Law, and in pursuing personal injury awards and settlements from negligent parties.
Our attorneys handle cases involving:
Even if your specific injury isn’t listed here, we may still be able to help. We understand that police, fire, and other emergency personnel are exposed to numerous hazards in the line of duty. No matter the circumstances of your injury or its cause, we offer experienced guidance to identify potential sources of compensation or benefits.
At Siler & Ingber, our New York police injury attorneys never forget the essential services first responders provide. Some of our lawyers have personal connections to law enforcement and emergency services, with family members who have served as police officers and firefighters.
We are personally and professionally invested in our clients’ cases, utilizing every tool and resource at our disposal to achieve the best possible outcome—no matter the odds.
If you are a police officer, firefighter, or other first responder injured on the job, we can help you seek benefits under the New York Workers’ Compensation Law, the General Municipal Law, and police and firefighter pension codes. Our deep familiarity with these benefit sources will serve you well in your time of need.
It is also important to note that occupational diseases and work-related illnesses are covered by workers’ compensation. New York’s Workers’ Compensation Law enables workers to obtain compensation not only for physical injuries but also for work-related illnesses like respiratory disease, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, hearing loss, and exposure to bloodborne pathogens.
No matter your pathway to benefits or the type of injury or illness you have experienced, you can rely on our team to provide the insight and guidance you need.
If your injuries were caused by the negligence of a third party, we can also represent you in a personal injury claim against non-employers—such as property owners or product manufacturers—who may have contributed to your on-the-job injury. These cases can lead to additional compensation for lost wages, loss of future earnings, emotional trauma, and more.
Examples of situations where we can help include:
Whether a third party is responsible or your injuries resulted from on-the-job hazards or another employee’s negligence, our attorneys can help you explore your options for benefits and compensation. We are proud to serve New York’s first responders in these critical cases.
If you are a firefighter, police officer, or other first responder who has been injured on the job, or if you are a family member of an injured first responder, don’t wait to seek legal help. The attorneys at Siler & Ingber have a strong commitment to helping those who risk so much to protect others.
Our team has decades of collective legal experience in handling workers’ compensation and personal injury claims related to injuries sustained in the line of duty. Serving New York City, Long Island, and beyond, we are ready to put this experience to work for you.
