New York City Police Officers have one the most dangerous jobs in America. In 2023, a record 5,363 NYPD cops were injured on the job, according to the NYC PBA.
Depending on the cause of their injury, a New York City Police Officer may have the right to bring a claim against the City of New York, property owners, tenants or a civilian who injured them. New York City has passed General Municipal Law §205-e to cover Police Officers who have been injured in the line of Duty. A Police Officer has a limited amount of time to bring a claim. It is critical for injured Police Officers to contact an attorney immediately.
At Ryan Injury Firm, P.C., we have extensive experience representing City Workers who have been injured in the Line of Duty. Please contact us as soon as possible so that we can discuss your claim. Don’t delay: contact the Ryan Injury Firm at (212) 441-4352.
