Jackson Police Officer Injury Attorney
Workers’ Compensation & Benefits for Law Enforcement Officers
Every day, police officers face serious risks on the job. It is not surprising, therefore, that law enforcement officials have some of the highest rates of work-related injury, occupational illness, and death across all industries.
When it comes to recovering for medical expenses, lost income, and other damages resulting from a work-related injury or medical condition, law enforcement officers have several options. They may be entitled to workers’ compensation, lump-sum payments under the Mississippi First Responders Health and Safety Act, or benefits via the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters Disability Benefits Trust Fund.
At ‘MAGGIO LAW, we represent police officers and other law enforcement officials who have been injured in the line of duty, as well as those who suffer work-related medical conditions. We recognize that law enforcement officers put their lives on the line every single day, and we believe that they deserve compensatory benefits when they are injured in the course of their work. In addition to representing injured law enforcement officials in filing claims and seeking benefits, we also represent surviving spouses, children, and other family members of those who lose their lives in the line of duty. To learn more, including how our Jackson police officer injury attorneys can help you with your work-injury claim, contact us at (601) 265-6869. Your consultation is completely free.

Benefits for Injured Police Officers in Mississippi
Depending on the specific details of your situation, you could be entitled to several forms of compensation after a work-related accident or injury. These benefits may include:
- Medical Benefits: Intended to assist with the cost of medical treatments and care resulting from an on-the-job injury or illness, these benefits pay for all necessary and reasonable medical expenses required to treat your condition.
- Wage Replacement: Wage replacement benefits provide compensation for a portion of your missed wages/income while you are unable to work. To qualify for these benefits, you must meet the appropriate definition of being “disabled,” whether partially or totally.
- Vocational Rehabilitation: Some injured individuals may qualify for vocational rehabilitation benefits. These benefits help offset costs associated with job retraining and re-entry into the workforce when an individual cannot return to his or her past employment.
Additionally, eligible surviving loved ones, including spouses and children, may qualify for death benefits when a family member dies in the line of duty or due to a work-related medical condition.
While workers’ compensation may be available in some situations, injured law enforcement officers may also have additional options for recovering compensation after a work-related injury or illness. These include benefits provided under the Mississippi First Responders Health and Safety Act, which grants lump-sum payments and/or wage replacement to eligible first responders (including most police officers and firefighters ) who are diagnosed with certain forms of cancer. Other available benefits may include compensation via the Law Enforcement Officers and Firefighters Disability Benefits Trust Fund, which provides relief to active-duty officers who are injured in the line of duty, whether intentionally or accidentally, in a single incident.
